Philadelphia Printers ON the Verge of
Big Strike.
PHILADELPHIA. PA, December "a
Edward T. Plank, President of the Iuter-
national Typographical Union, arrived in
this city to-day to confer with the
officers OF Typographical Union No. .,
relative to the demand OF the printers on
five morning newspapers for an advance
from 40 to 45 cents per thousand in
the price for type setting He
saw some of the local officers
who explained the situation to them.
The demand the printers made was to
have gone into effect tonight, but the re-
fusal of the employers to grant it
served to cOmplicate matters. Most
Of the men are not satisfied with
the 40 cents per Thousand rate,
and they are not inclined to accept the em-
ployers action as final at present. Presi-
dent Glazer, of the local union, said this
afternoon, that no trouble would be expe-
rienced in any Of the newspapers
composing rooms tonight. A meeting
would probably be held in few
days he said, at which the situation would
be considered. In the meantime members
of the executive council of the Inter
national union are expected in the
city. Even if it wanted to, it
is said the local union could
not order a strike without the consent Of
the Executive Council. A prominent
member Of the local union said to-day
that there was disposition on the part of
the members to turn the whole affair over
to the care Of the International Union.
Mr.. .Singerly, of the Record has granted
to his printers an advance from 40 to as
cents iper thousand for setting miniou.
This action, however, it was said was
purely voluntary, and has nothing what
ever to do with the demand of the Typo
graphical Union, the latter being still in
allegiance.
