HARDLY STIR INNEW YORK.
PERHAPS FIFTY FRIMERS ON STRIKE
AND A RAIN WILT PARADE

Ths Socialists Get n soRkiuG-Five Thou-
sand or Them March Out with Banners,
Transpareneies, and Peaceful Umbrellas.
Tho eiRht-hour movement hardly came to
the surface in this city yesterday. The carpen-
tors and joiners. who were selected to lead In
II, had postponed their lead until Monday. and
were at work as usual A few trainers quit
work. The Framers' Unions had made their
ARRANGEMENTS weeks ago for eight hours, the
change to take effect yesterday They report
that hfty-nine bosses acceded and dozen re-
fused. The trainers in all shops whore the de-
mRnd was refused went on strike in the morn
ing. There were perhaps fifty mon out last
night They met at SO First avenue. The on
GERS OF the union gave out these names OF
bosses who refused to grant the eight
hour day: Downey, Forrest Halter.
Henry, Miehm, Rupg, Schaefer. Hamilton,
OvinRton. Rail- Stoelting. King, Petit. Vogt.
and Zimmerman. Most Of the trainers in the
city are Germans and they have union OF
their own which contains il00 members. The
EnRlish-spenkinR trainers have another union
with less than half that membership. They
united on tho fight for an eight-hour day at 40
cents an hour. It has been enormously stated
that the trainers are the only organized work
ers In New York who have gained an eight
hour day. As matter OF fact the plasterers
began working eight hours yesterday. as the
result Of an agreement with their bosses, and
the cement and asphalt layers have had eight
hours for some time. The clgarmakers have
oil sorts OF hours, and those that can get but
four hours work day wish thoy could get
more.
All there was In the way Of demonstration
here was the Socialist meeting In Union
square. which was perfectly orderly and not at
oil imposing In numbers. They had good
time preparing for 1t at IS East Fourth street
in the afternoon. A largo red flag hung from
the front Of the building. on which appeared In
