A Former eight Hour strike.

THAT eight-hour demonstration of 10 years
ago" said an old Chicago newspaper man..
was q great affair. They talk about the or
ganization of this movement to-day. l can
tell you from careful observation that there
is no comparison between the two days. In
1867, the night before the first of May, you
could go to any place in the city and know that
there was athorough organization of the men
interested in the eight-hour movement. They
were acting in concert under good leadership.
Last night there was as much excitement, but
there was neither discipline ner organization
apparent to man interested in getting at the
real facts. On the LIST of May, 10 years ago.
the procession was one of the greatest DEM
onstrations of the kind that had ever been
seen In the city. 1t was more than hour
In passing given point. / remember that
one detachment carried a copy of the Chi
cage Tribune held upside down and trimmed
with Grape. As the procession passed
the Tribune office there was an outburst of
hostile clamor and hundreds and thousands
shouted Down with the Tribuner In fact.
the situation did lock little disceuraging
Tor the Tribune and other establishments.
but In two weeks the strikers who had gone
out on a demand for the eight-hour rule were
at work on the old system and people were
jogging along in the old style. and business
took care of itself. Some of the reporters of
that day are now gray-haired and not very
active old men, but they have more vivid
recollections of that eight-hour campaign
than they will have of the present one'
