TEN-HOUR TALK.
Different Opinions as To the Probability
of a Return to- the Tsn-Hour system
WIN the Men Submit?

II don't believe IT," said a well known
hide and leather dealer yesterday; when it
was suggested that all the furniture iacto-
ries of the city would 90 back to the ten
hour system before the end of the month
Now, III just give YOU pointer" he con
tinued "ln the first place, the men won't
stand il. They are determined TO stick
for eight hours for month or
two at least. Aud then know
that some of the manufacturers
intend 10 continue working on the eight
hour plan until the men get enough of il.
They argue that if the factories here con-
tinue TO work but eight hours, while the
factories in Cincinnati, Chicago and other
furniture manufacturing centeTs work ten.
the result Will be that this city will be over
run with furniture workers before the
Fourth of Jrly, and wages will be forced
down lower than they have been for years.
The members of the Manufacturers AssO-
citation do not all take this view of the case
hut our or five of them DO and they are
trying 70 get the Others 10 adopt the scheme
and l think they try it,
Don't YOU ever believe he movement
