A FAIR PROPOSITION.
The Carpenters Want Working
Day of Nine Hours.

There was large and enthusiastic
meeting of carpenters at the hall at 25O
Second avenue south last evening, when
the question of securing a nine-hour
day at nine hours pay was discussed at
some length. Speeches were made
upon the subject by Thomas Lucas, M.
ii. Packard, Thomas McCOrt and ID. E..
Beltany. All urged the necessity OF
having a nine-hOur instead OF an eight
hour day. Every speaker was we'll re-
ceived and his remarks warmly ap-
plauded.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That in order to make
labor saving machinery help instead
of curse we ask all employers OF labor,
skilled and unskilled, and employers OF
carpenters in particular. to make and
adopt a nine-hOur day; and,
Resolved, That the wishes of those
laborers who are DESTROYS of working
ten hours per day should be discounte-
nanced in the interest of the masses, as
all must live, and one individual should
have as much Of an opportunity to earn
his bread as another; and be it further
Resolved, That copy OF these reso-
lutiOns be forwarded to the Carpenters
and Contractors association and its at
tention called to the same.
The question of how this end was to
be accomplished, was discussed at con-
siderable length, and the following reSO-
luton in relation to the matter adopted.
This resolution is in the nature OF a pc
tition, and will be circulated among car
penters and contractors generally:
Whereas, True business prin-
ciples dictate that when a
commodity falls in value the
supply of that particular commodity
should be curtailed; therefore, in view
of the fact that large numbers of good
mechanics are now out of employment,
and the pressure of long and vigorous
winter has exhausted their credit, and
they must, in order to save their fam
lilies from want, even to the extent OF
cutting wages; therefore be it
Resolved, That we hereby subscribe
our names and pledge our most sacred
honor to use our best efforts to secure
nine-hour day.
1--WE do not want it understood" said
one of the carpenters, that we are try
ing to have our hours shortened and our
pay increased. We are not striking for
higher pay. We are not striking at all,
but simply trying to make days work
consist of nine hours, for which we
want nine hours pay.
