 The Typothetae has a similar tale to tell, and enrich it with stories of the eagerness of the old hands to get back A meeting was held yesterday afternoon, and while it was rumored on the street that 1t was a very stormy one, nothing was given out either to the printers or the pubic A rumor was current to the effect that the union had offered to com promise on nine and a half hours and that the Typothetae was favorably consider ing the proposition, but it was denied by both parties.
 The executive committee of the union held meeting last night, and on infor- nation that the employees of Byron Rlng were assisting in getting out the work of a non-union office, decided to call out their men. This office has been very closely connected with one of the ten hour offices, and had been notified that 1t should not in any way assist the non- union offices, but despite this, it is de- clared, the manager persists in con- polling his employees to help out the non-union offices; hence the action.
