A joint meeting of the various
trades unions Of the city was held in
Meyers hall Friday night in response
to n call from the Trades Council. to
discuss the feasibility of cOntending
for an eight hour work day. The two
carpenters unions had already an
nounced that on May they would de-
mand that eight hours constitute a
days labor, and this led to the joint
meeting at which the question was
discussed at length, the majority
agreeing to stand by the carpenters,
even if the other unions did not decide
to take the same movement. but 9TH
or joint meetings will be held at in
tervals and it is thought all will make
the demand at the same time as it
would prove more effective than to
have one organization go it alone.
The committee appointed by the
carpenters TO confer with the cOntrac-
terS on the subject, report that the
majority of them are favorable to the
proposition, and it is thought there
will be no discord over the proposed
movement.
