The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1901-06-04
WILL BE AT
WORK SOON.

Although there was no definite change
yesterday in the local situation of the
muchinStS' movement for u nine hour
day with ten hours pay further and
important developments are now expect
cd. 1t was ntmated by prominent ma
chinists last night that there would prob
ably be big change in the situation
during the present week. The change,
when it comes, will be nothing more or
less than the shops that are now holding
out, concc1ng nine hour day with ten
hours pay. Every local machinist who
went out on il strike on May 20 expects
to be back at work by next Monday
morning and probably before that time.
The mach'nists started the third week
Of their strike yesterday The success
attained in Wilmington during the two
weeks was more than whnt many of the
men expected. or the twenty shops in
this city, seventeen have conceded the
demand. Three shops, namely: The llar-
Ian n lloliingsworll Company, j. Morton
Poole Company and the Delaware Ma
chine Company, still continue to refuse
the demand. The Delaware Machine
Company counts for but little with local
machinists AS it only employs few men
in that capacity. 1t is likely that II the
strikers thought it worth their while
they could force that shop to concrde at
most any time.
The machinists contribute their success
to two things First the huSincss-lil;e
manner in which the strike has been
conducted, and second, to the fact that
they were well organized and stood to-
grthcr to a man. From the beginning
of the strike to the present time there
has never been any dis~cnSion whatever
among the strikers. The strike has been
conducted by practical. well thinking
how to do il.
The maclni>ts employed by the New
port News. (Na.) Shiphnilhing Com
pany went ont yesterday. Local machln-
lists were glad that they at last con
cludcd to make a stand for the shorter
day. Many think that it will go far to-
wards ending tho strike. as it is genrr-
ally"bcicved that the situation with the
Atlantic Coast Shipbuildrrs hinges on
Newport News. That company employs
nearly 400 machinisis, all of them went
out.
There is likelihood Of move on the
part of the local blacksmiths for a
shorter day in the near future. Black
smiths employed at the jackson & Sharp
works held Il meeting in the
Smith Building last night. The matter
was talked over but no definite action
was taken The hlacksmiths are we'll
organized. It IS said that those em-
ployed by the Harlan & Holilngsworth
Company are organizcdto man.
