President O'Copnell Talks on the Sit.

Encouraging.

1000 niaCninists in this country lald
down their tools, not to take them up
again until their employers shall meet
their demand for nine-Lour working
day without reduction in pay.
President james OConnpll of the Ma
chinists' Association said this morn
ing that the strikers would not lack for
funds TO support them while idle.
In Washington there are 1000 machin-
lists employed by the Government. This
President OIOnnell and letter. agree
ing to contribute $1,000 weekly as long
| as needed by the strikers. The Amr"i
can Federation of Labor has promised
its financial assistance, the machinists
have large fund in their treasury and
assessments on the men working will
provide for the strikers indefinitely.
REPORTS TROUBLE IN WEST.
Mr.. O'Conlell says that the most
trouble will be experienced en- the Pacific
| coast. The Union Iron Works, Risdon
Iron Works and the Fulton Engineer
ing and Shipbuilding Company all refuse
| to meet committees from the Machnists'
| Association. There are $500 machinists
in San Francisco, but the metalwOrkers
| there number 10000 and are federated in
the iron trades council. This body has
voted unanimously to stand by the ina
chinists and will go out as soon as they
are notified that such action is needed.
President O'Connell is unable to guess
at the possible duration of the strike.
He does not expect any scenes Of yio-
lcnce expressing the belief that the men
will quietly walk out and simply wait
for their employers to come to terms.
ADDRESS TO MACHINISTS.
The general omcers of the Association
have issued the following address to ma
clinists:
From time inlmcmCrial the great goal
to which united labor has struggled and
to which it has given its best efforts,
has been in the direction of shorter
working day. In the majority Of crafts
both skilled and the So-calpd unskilletl-
this effort has been uniformly successful,
and they have for number of years
! enjoyed the pleasures that come with
greater leisure. Machinists, owing to the
fact Of their isolation in the past from
