The Johnson. Cowdin 8: Co. Inc.. of
Grand street .today is practically shut-
down as the result of one hundred and
six employes of the plan: mostly
weavers. going on strike Saturday
noon. The firike is the result of the
announceemnt of a 20 per cent. cut in
the wage scale by the firm. A similar
strike is on at the Palm-sofa plant at
the same. concern.
The announceemnt of the 2’) per
cent. reduction in wages was posted at
the. Johnson. Crowdin plant Saturday
morning and by noon time theem—
ploycs of the plant had decided not to
accept the reduction. As the result.
none of the weavers appeared for work
this morning with the exception of a.
few who were allowed to finish up
work which'they had started.
A statement given out by Arthur L
Hughes. manager of the plant. says
that the reduction in wages was only
fair in View of the reduction in the
cost of living.
"This is the first reduction from war
wages that the cmploycs of the plant
have had to take." said Mr. Hughes.
“In view of the fact that living ex-
penses have dropped about 25 per
cent, I think that the reduction was
very fair and should be accepted."
