building trades is practically ended, and
work has started up again The result
was brought about by the action of the
Master Builders association, which
withdrew from the amalgamation of the
building trades, and announced that
they intended to resume work at the
terms proposed by the workmen-uine
hours. with full recognition of the,
union cards. The master masons and
plumbers are not satisfied, as they de-
sired to force surrender of the cards.
But their opposition will amount to lit
tie. The workingmen have gained a
substantial victory. Nine hours will
now constitute days work, with eight
hours on Saturday. Those employers
who have already granted eight hours
will no doubt continue on that basis.
The bovcotted taiIors are weakening.
Their only source of supply of journey
men seems to be G stle Garden, which
is far from satisfactory.
