of this city are preparing for another move upon
the street.car companies, with the object of OBJ
tanning better pay and shorter working hours for

were last October. when they relied upon a
general strike to accomplish their ends. It has
been learned from NJ. w. Sullivan, master
workman Of district assembly, No. IL. which
includes the St Louis Knights of Labor lodges,
that this plan of action has been agreed upon,
and that it would be put into operation very
soon, with all the Knights Of ST. Louis enlisted
in its execution. One road is to be boycotted
at time. and brought to terms, if the boycott
is successful. The executive committee Of the
Knights has not yet decided when the boycott
10 to begin, but it is said the time will be set
about the middle of March. and that the Fifth

Labor Union, an organization Of delegates from

subject of the eight-hour system. in which he
says that he and his firm approve and favor the
system SO long as the labor unions enforce it
throughout the United States and Canada. He
also says that his experience as mechanic and
employer Is that faithful man car do as much
in eight hours as he should be subjected to
mentally and physically. He is in favor of
combined organization against the gigantic
monopolies." Mechanical ingenuity has invented
great labor-savine machinery, and the mechanic
should get the benefit of it alike with the CAPT.
