This Morning to Enforce Demand.

to grant them a reduction from ten to eight
hours of work per day, without reduction of pay.

the bosses, and the latter discussed them at
some length, both among themselves and
with the committee The journeymen say
that they made this demand six weeks
ago, and fixed the time of its going into effect In
July in order that pending contracts might be
out of the way, but that the bosses have paid no
attention to it. The wages So per day, and a
reduction corresponding to that in hours would
make them So. 40 per day. The bosses objected
to considering the demand at once. because the
journeymen had not formed permanent organ

enough time for consideration. Some of them
said they would consider the matter, and meet
the journeymen halfway. When pressed for an
answer. they said they could not give it then,
and that if the journeymen wanted to strike
they would have to do so. The committee re-
turned to the journeymen's meeting, and it was
decided by unanimous vote to quit work this
morning until the bosses give an answer. A
committee was appointed to confer with the
bosses, and another meeting will be held today.
The journeymen say that all the plasterers in
the city, forty or fifty in number, will cult.

Must perish where they rest,

And deck with perennial garlands
The shrines whore her heroes sleep!
