OUT ON A STRIKE.
Presses Idle at the Louis Roesch
Printing COMPANY.


The pressmen in the priuting establishment
of Louis ROesch s. Co. went out on a strike at
noon yesterday, and the presses IN the big
pTinting-house were quiet during the rest Of
the day. About eighteen hands went out in ALL
though but four OF these were journeymen, the
others being feede rs and helpers
The trouble arose over boy named Alex
Dulfer, who has been employed by the cOmpany
for about two years. and who had personally
had some experience In the work, but who was
not member of the union, nor an apprentice
according TO their rules. He had become ex-
pert at his work. and Mr. Rnesch kept advauc-
ing him, and recently he had been doing all
kinds OF work on bis press, including the max
ing ready" and II was TO this that the union
objected.
About three weeks ago walking delegates
called on Mr.. Roesch and informed hin that
Duifer must be discharged or the union men in
the Office would be called out. The proprietor
declined, and nothing more was heard OF the
matter until yesterday, when the delegates
again appeared on the scene and repeated their
demands. Mr.. ROesch informed them that he
would not comply, and al O'clock the men did
not report for work.
The RoeSch Company has always maintained
a union Office and feel very much mlsused on
account OF some special favor which they had
granled their wOrkmen. There was no queS-
tiOn of wages, the men who went out speaking
highly of their employers, but had simply gone
out because order d Out by The union. The
proDretOrS say their men can go To work II
they return this morning. but intimate that the
presses Will nOl stand Idle another day, even II
they do not return.
Mr.. Rorsch SAYS that at present they are very
him TO discharge the boy, but he maintains LIE
Will not do 50.
