Some Of she trades will make an eight
hour deuand ca May lst Others will ask
for n;us sud some VIII ssk fog ten hours
The meetings will ipdoFse these demands,
and while it may favor eight hours tor all
trades, it will not insist on obtaining the
concession at present, except in the cases
of trades tsct have already. notified their
employers Of the sq'gti9R of the eight

The nesting will probably declare that
men who work fourteen and sixteen hours
per day should have twelve; thGt men who
work twelve should have ter, and tbst man
who work ten should have eight or nine
kcurs. By reducing the hours OF work, the
Central l. SIC. hopes to increase the demand
