PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.-The COM

ord, Inquirer and North American,
made demand at o'clock this evening
that their wages be increased from 40 to
40 cents per 1000 ems. All of the COM
posters are members of the Interna-

granted the increase, as did also the
North American, although the latter
paper did so under protest.
Proprietor William NJ. Singerly, of
the Record, refused to pay the extra five
cents or to confer with the strikers. H.
stead, he went to work to secure nom
union force, and by s o'clock thirty-four
men were busy setting type in his Office.
This is about half the number usually
at work. Mr.. Singerly expresses conf
dence in his ability to get along without
union men and says his paper will be is
sued tomorrow as usual. At the In
qulrel Office, after several conferences
between Proprietor James EMERSON and

the men at $50 o'clock agreed to con-
tlnue work at the old rate pending
settlement of the differences.
