I consider
it
premature
to

up
now.
We have

it

LOCAL
The
Jabor
situation
continues
still
in
statu
quo,
the
employers
of labor
onthe
sugar
concerns
other
than
the West
n-
dian
Sugar
Factory,
Ltd,
declining
to
sign the
agreement
entered
in:o between
that
factory
and
the
St.
Croix
Labor
Union
which
virtually
surrenders
the
manager.ent
of labor
to the union
which
<hall die
ate
who the employers
may
em-
plov.
At least
this is the
conception
of
the
plarters
and
from
yesterday’s
edi-
tocial
in
the Herald
Phey
are
probably
correct.
The planters
are willing to pay
the
same
wag s
as
demanded,
=aud
in
some
cases
they
will pay
mure,
but they
paturally
reserve
the
right
to
engage
who they
may
hiave
and
to
dismiss
who
does
not
seive
‘their
interests,
From
their
experience
they
foresee
a
repi-
tition
of
labor
difficuities if
they
sub-
scribe
to
the
agrcement
they
are
asked
to
sigr;
namely
that
strikes
may
be
ordered
by
the
union
when
that organisation
considers
iiself
mas‘er
of the
situation
and
when
the
planters
are
least
unable
to
oppose
such
action,
probably
at the
height of the eutting or
grinding spell.
This
conditioh i 3 decid-
edly very regrettable and especially
at this
time when
there
is but
a small
erop and
things
are bad, there being
a need of work
all over
the island.
As regards
the
agree-
ment
made
between
the
Union and
the
W.
I.
Sugar
Factory,
the
individual
planters
are able to understand
what
is
meant
by
their not
being
bound
to
en-
ploy pon-union
labor after the Union
has
made
its
survey.
In
the
interest
of all
concerned
it is
hoped
that
a sectlement
will be reached
at
an early
date.
