We, the Bakers Union of the city OF
| Wichita, do make the following appeal tc
| all people who are in favor of and believe
| that the laborers should have that which
they earn. We have been organized about
two years, and have at all times labored
early and late, and left no stone unturned
In our endeavors to cater to the wishes OF
our Wichita patrons. We have had our
| troubles as others, and have patiently
borne the burden until patience has ceased
to be virtue. 1t is a well established fact
that the hours of labor, of the bakers es
! pecially, have always been much longer
than any other tradesmen. We should
have some time allowed us for recreation
! and enjoyment with our families, and to do
this we must insist on having our demands
granted.
/ At this advanced day when all classes of
the laboring masses are endeavOrng to
shorten the hours of labor, reducing the
same from ten to nine, and in many cases
to eight hours and giving just rs much
good. We come to a just and reasonable
public and place our grievance before them
and ask them to stand by us and patronize
only those whose shops have come to the
front and agree like men of honorable
principle to stand up to our demand. The
following is the demand:
REGULATIONS.
tOcCllOll L. DIN udyS VI WOTk W COuSoi-
tute a week. No Sunday or Saturday
night work except making yeast, etc.
Sec. .. Eleven hours for the first five
days with thirteen on Saturday, including
one hour each day for meals, shall consti-
tute weeks labor.
Sec. 3. First hands not to receive less
than 49, without board, per week. Sec
ond hands not less than SO per week with
out board. All members working alone to
r6cpiVp first hand \VaOac
Sec. 4. No member shall be permitted to
board with his employer.
Sec. 5. All employees shall be union men.
All difficulties or troubles arising may be
settled, if so desired, by committee of
SIX three employers and three journeymen
to represent said committee.
Accepted by the National Executive
Committee of New York May 5, 1883.
This union agrees to furnish competent
and reliable workmen, also a union card to
every employer adopting the above regula-
lions, which card shall testify that he keeps
a strictly union house, if any employer so
wishes.
Below are the names of the shops who
refuse their men this precious boon:
Enterprise bakery, Cincinnati bakery,
City bakery. BAKERS UNION No. AZ,
