a movement looking toward securing eight
hours for a days work. The matter has
bean under consideration for son.e time,
and they feel that they have carefully con-
sidered every point. Having done this they
sent around 4 circular letter this morning
TO all the mine owners and superintendents,
asking that a working day henceforth CON-
sist of eight hours, and that the prevailing
wages, $3.50 per day, be maintained. The
reasons given are that their calling is dan
geruus, and that ten hours Of exposure to
this danger and to noxious gases seriously
impairs health and shortens life; that
shorter hours would enable the men to en-
joy better health and TO do more work
proportionately; thus making the change
advantageous to both men and companies,

spectful consideration, which the men say
is all they ask. There is no disposition on

calmly discuss the questions at issue, and
arrive at some conclusion that will be salts

The superin.endents held meeting this

A TURN IN THE TIDE.
a Very Good Game-The Crowd Noisy-
The Score In Detail.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

The game by Aurora and Ottawa
was thoroughly good one, with few
errors, some good hitting and some
good plays. The crowd was on ram
page in great shape. Indeed, Ottawa
has never before broken loose" in a
similar way at a ball game. Aurora,
however, has the unfortunate habit OF
guying and roasting the visitors, and
the Ottawa grand stand was "onto"
that fact. At Aurora they begin by
placing the visitors within splitting
distance of the bleachers, which in
that part of the field are occupied by
cOlored men with their "hcads open"
When they are not roasting the play
ers they are splitting tobacco juice all
over the bench and the players backs.
1t is very "tireSome.' So the Ottawa
crowd was simply getting even; and
the Auroras knew it, taking it for the
most part in good humor: and having
gotten a good slice Of roast as an off
set Aurora will have nc further reason
to complain, even if they felt inclined
to do so yesterday.
Aurora's fielding averaged pretty
good. Golden dropped one thrown
ball well tielded by Willard, who in
turn also dropped the ball when Held
ed in from center and thus lost
double play. Greene also made two
"beefs," which cost runs: while Englis
was particularly unfortunate with
four passed balls.
Ottawa also put up fine fielding
game. Collier in first lost two chances
to put out, but Col. is in bad form and
hardly able to play at all. Gelsss work
at second was the most notable, hay
ing had the good lnck to make hand
some double in the second. Spore also
put up a fine game, getting the lions
share of the chances on that side of the
box Burquin lost one hot grounder,
but 1t was inexpensive as Smith and
Collier picked him off while mapping
on first.
Following is the score:
