THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY.
An Amiacable Settlement About to be
Arrived at by all Concerned.

AiIlNeu at ny all IOICeIIet.
The latest phase in the S-hour situa-
ton is that almost contractors of any
Importance in the city have acceded to
it, but only allowing hours pay there
for, paying at the rate of 2S cents per
hour. This is satisfactory to almost
all union men, but as they were con-
tending for an eight-hour day with
nine hours pay therefor, they have
not yet agreed on accepting the con-
tractors terms, but in all probability
will before the close of the present
week.
The majority of the men argue that
they are not after the wages now, but
an eight hour day and that after get
ting this the pay will gradually be re-
stored. Therefore a large number of
labor leaders are willing to accept the
contractors proposition of eight hours
pay for eight hours work.
Mr.. Cade, the Avenue c planning mill
man, Immediately granted the unions
request and is now only running eight

He also ran his mill last week this
way.
Carpenters union III will meet to-
night when the2 will discuss the
situation and it is believed they will
pass a resolution asking the other
unions to accept the contractors s.
hour proposition.
Work in the building trade is at pres

give the affair a genuine test, so many
of the leading contractors being idle,
at the time of the strike, and not at
tempting to get any work at present,
