Haubert, and F. F. Williams, who had
hitherto been thick-and-thin supporters of
Worth in his fsctional squabbles, have within n
few days assured MIR. Platt of their hearty sup

The demand of Typographical Union No. s
for a nine.hour work-day in book and job offices

fused by the employers. This action was
taken at q secret meeting OF the TypothetR,

day night. when, the following resolutions
were passed:
"Resolred. That it is the sense of this Typoth-

that the amount will be ut least 10 per cent.
