At meeting held last evening of the r.
A. Lanis Association of Steam Filters, L.
B., No. 10, at No. 425 18th street north
west, it was decided to order a general
strike. to go into effect Monday morning
next. This action was taken because of the
refusal Of the employers to grant an in
crease of wages demanded by the Steam
Filters and the Steam Filters Helpers as
sociations. respectively.
It was stated that up to this time the pay
of the steam filters has been s. for an
eight-hour day. and that of the helpers
SIS for the same period. The increased de-
mand is for $50 for the filters and 81 for
the helpers.
Several weeks ago the new schedule was
submitted to the Employers Association,
and the latter proposed a compromise rate.
This was not satisfactory to the members
of the crafts interested. The employers be-
ing informed OF this fact, they concluded to
lock the men out June 1S. but as they
stated it would be impossible to bring the
matter before their executive committee for
final action at that time, the matter was
deferred. Since then the filters and help
ers have decided to insist upon their de-
mand for an increase, and at the meeting
last evening the action above referred to
was taken.
The strike will, it was stated involve all
the steam filters and helpers in the city
who are employed by the Master Steam
Filters Association. including, it is said,
all the members of those crafts in the city.
