Builders VIII Held Out Against the
Eight Hour Rule.
The bFicklayers' strike has at length be-
come a serious matter. At a meeting of
the Builders Institute held yesterday, il
was resolved te give the strikers twenty-four
hours, counting from this morning to return
10 work and in case of their failure to do
the same, to III their places with outside
men. This is the first step toward an active
fight that the contractors have taken.
They demand that the men return 10 work
by tomorrow morning and are fully re-
solved 10 fight the matter TO the end.
What action the bricklayers will take is
unknown Ii is a weli-known fact that a
few members of the union favor going
back on the strike and it seems certain that
some will respond to the call from the con-
tractors. On the other hand the majority
OF the members are still firm in their in
tention to hold out antil their demands are
acceded to. What effect the contractors
notice will have upon the members Of the
union remains to be seen.
