SEATTLE PRINTERS STRIKE
The Seattle Times Having Trouble
with Its Compositors

Special to the Herald.
SEATTLE. April 2l.-The union printers
in the employ of the Evening Times went
out this morning. The situation from the
Times standpoint IS explained in the fol-
lowing editorial. The paper through the
efforts of the editorial force and some
nOn-unOn printers made It's appearance
at late hour this evening in a much re-
duced form. This is what the Times
saws: 'ren days ago the business mana
ger and part proprietor of this paper
Thomas III. Dempsey, was notified by
committee of the union that beginning
with this morning the Times would have
TO pay its compoSitors thirteen en- price
for eev9n and one half ems of matter set.
That is 10 say. they demanded of the
management OF this paper that for every
eleven and one half ems of matter they
wanted bonus of one and one half ems.
The reason for this demand was that the
Times, being a narrow measure paper.
compositors could not make as much
money upon il as they can upon papers of
wider measurement. They did not pre-
tend to make any justification of this eN-
traordinary demand other than the fore
going. OF the narrow measure papers IN
the United States. not one upon which
such a rule is enforced If the Typo
graphical union of Seattle had any re-
gard for right. it would never have asked
for IL. None but robbers seek to get
ANYTHING which they have not earned.
This was not. however. the cause of the
strike 1t was the result of demand
made on the business manager Of this
paper, which was beyond his power Ia
concede. This last demand was not made
until this morning. The management OF
this paper while protesting against the
demand as unjust. had acqucised in it. in
order to avoid trouble. But this did not
satisfy the printers. This morning they
refused to go to work unless Mr.. Dempsey
would sign a six months contract Will
them. This he could not consent owith-
out consulting with his partner. Col. g
| &. Lyon. He Informed the printers Il
this effect and asked them to fOrego th'
signing of the contract until Mr.. Lyon
arrival. he being en- route from san Fran
cisco here. This they declined to do
| Hence the strike.
