About 80 carpenters assembled last

Twelve OF the petitions IN circulation
turing the past week, and that three
had not been handed IN. Ga the nine
handed IN there appeared $50 names.
Rates OF Wages Discussed
A general discussion followed upon
invitation OF the chairman for all talk
ers TO talk. Tue Question OF adding a
clause naming the wages desired, at %
cents an hour, MAS the principal sub
ject or the speeches. Some favored IT
and some did not. The principal argu-
inents used IN favor were that the con-
tractors themselves would rather have
= definite sum named, SO that they
could estimate on bids accordingly. The
question of the quality OF labor was
discussed, and one man said, III all the
members of our union are MECHANICS
and not a miscellaneous collection of
mechanics and saw and hatcnet men.
then the contractors Will pay what We
ask willingly. Some thought 20 cents
an hour should be the minimum price.
Ii the hours were secured the wages
would look after themselves; that good
men would get good wages ana poor
men could not. the necessity Tor fur
ther and more perfect organization OF
the / ,232 carpenters in the city was
urged. Talk Of organizing two new
unions 20 make attendance by carpen-
tiers living some distance out more
regular; was INDUCED IN. Finally II wal
decided 20 take no radical steps until
further discussion.
