Ooston Boilermakcrs Want Shorter
Hours without Loss of Pay.

Ooston Boilermakcrs Want shorter
Hours without Loss of Pay.
BosroN, April TO- About 700 boiler
makers and iron shipbuilders in Boston
and vicinity struck this morning for the
nine-hour work day. 1t is the beginning
of long and stubborn battle between
the manufacturers and men in the iron in
dustry. The strike promises to last for
several months, and the men are deter
mined to make bigger fight than they
did last year.
On May 4, last year, Boilermakers'
hnion 10 ordered strike in every shop in
Boston, when the Manufacturers associa-
tion refused to conce de the nine-hour sys-
tenn. The fight was stubbornly kept up
for 13 weeks, at the end of which time com
promise was effected. The men returned
TO work under an agreene mt that 5S hours
constitute n weeks work. They only
gained an hour in the week and were soon
dissatisfied.
L his year the demands Of the union are:
That all work appertaining 10 old work be
recognized the same in the shops as out
side; that all men going on work outside
the shop have none but union help; that
none but union men be employed at any
time, Ell ther In the shop or outside; in case
of large jobs men TO work nights IL re-
quired to get IL through; that no boiler
makers be asked to do other than boiler
makers work; that on and after April rs,
1893. nine hours shall constitute a days
work and eight on Saturday, with the
same pay as we receive for 10 hours The
reply Of the association Is an absolute re-
fusal TO grant the demands
The strike viii affect several large con-
tracts on the manufacturers hands, and II
Is expected an attempt will be made TO Sc
cure non-union men from out Of town to
10 the work. Work will be tied up on the
United States cruiser Marblehead, which
has been living nj one Of the docks.

leave it to any unpreju-
