PITTSBURG, Oct. 3.-The Post will say:
One of the biggest strikes in the history
OF typographical unions is an event OF the
near future. 1t will be a concerted move
ment for a working day of nine hours and
will evidently be fought to finish. 1t
will be waged with fat treasury at Its
back and the sympathy and cooperation
of local labor unions of all kinds through
QUE the country. The movement was be-
gun about a year ago. and 1t is believed
the climax is at hand.
Word was received in Pittsburg yester-
day by the local typographical union to be
ready for the strike in the near future
1t will affect only certain offices. Book.
job and publishing establishments that are
working more than nine hours a day will
be the victims of the strike. Telegraphic

on in earnest. The prevailing opinion
among the men seems to be that 1t will be
