The Boss Butchers Side of the Case.
D Tia EiltoI OF ne RfQist6r.

JANUARY Goth, 1892.
In reply TO the advertisement OF the
journeymen butchers in some Of the pa
pers l would say that the public is not
aware Of the facts In relation 20 the dii-
tculty between the butchers bosses and
the jUurueymen butchers.
The fact is, in the first place the jour
Reympn butchers came TO the bosses and
asked them to sign scale Of twelve
hours for a days work, beginning at
6 o'clock a. IN. and quitting at o'clock
p. M, with time enough to eat three
meals. The boss butchers did not re-
fuse TO sign a twelve-hour contract, but
the public knows that the butcher is eT-
pected in the markets long before 8
o'clock in the morning. Now, II we are
to comply with the journeymen's re-
Quest Of working from G to 6 we
will have to go TO the City
Council TO draft an ordinance
requesting them to open our markets at
: O'Clock q. IN. instead Of 5, as IL is DOW,
to accommodate the journeymen, and II
that becomes a law the market business
will surely prove poor one.
Arbitrating Committee heard both
sides. That committee saw that 1t was
impossible for the two butcher commit
tees to come to any conclusion, and sub
seuuently instructed the iourneymen al
their next meeting 10 get up some other
feasible scale which was more to the
point, which was accepted by the jour
neymen. We would ask the public to
imagine the surprise of the boss butch
ers last Friday, when 8 committee OF
the journeynen butchers went from
butcher to butcher and asked him to
sign the scale, and imagine surprise
also when they asked the Trades Assem-
bly, to boycott thirteen butchers OF this
city without first (as is the general
rule) bringing the matter up IN oil the
local unions of this city.
There are sixty-hve boss butchers
doing business in this city. OF that
number eight of them have signed the
scale lone OF the number was drunk
