marched out of the factory.
On the sidewalk they held council of
war which resulted in Patsy Shea, Timothy
Brennan, and Louis Rupp being appointed
a committee to wait on the firm and demand
their rights. The committee entered the
factory, and the watchman, who managed
to preserve his equanimity, escorted them
to the Office of Superintendent Graham,
Mr.. Ora ham, who stands six feet three, was
deeply impressed by the dignified appear
ance of the committee, and said: We'll,
gentlemen, what can | do for you" Patsy
Shea, as spokesman of the delegation said;
Boss, we's a committee from the packing
boys We wants 81 week and eight hours
day or we don't go to work.
Mr.. Graham gravely replied: well, gen
tlemen, l shall acquaint the firm with your
demands and let you know the result"
The committee then solemnly withdrew
The strikers remained on the sidewalk until
5 30 O'Clock, but received no answer. When
the three boys who had remained at work
came ont committee on discipline chased
them through Grand street and the Bowery

factory after the most approved fashion, and

had been their lot to defend the coun-
try against foreign foes, but now they
were called upon by the people OF Eng.
land to do the duty OF trampling UNI
der foot enemies more serious, be-
cause the enemies were within civil
Boundaries. He called upon the En-

any one, whoever he might be, who
should dare to try to break or dis
member theempire, thereby ruthlessly
destroying it. The speech was receiv-
! with deafening cheers.
