Change is Expected in the Local
Situation This Week.
WILL DEFY METAL WORKERS
President 0'Connell, of the Interna'
tional Association of Machinists,
Issues Statement at To-
ronto-0ther Unions Help
ing the Machinists.

Today the machinists start on the
fourth week of their strike for a nine
hour day with ten hours pay. There
was practically no change in the local
situation last week excepting that sew
pral of the small shops gave in. The
men, however are as determined as ever
and will stay out until their demands
irr granted.
The Harlan & Hollingsworth Com
pany and the j. Morton Poole Company
are still holding out, but change is
expected in the stand of one Of those
shops this week. The latter Company
has but little work on hand and conse-
uurntly are not losing much money at
present on account Of the maehinists be-
ing out. The Harlan & liollingsworth
Company has plenty of work in its ma
chine shop and the strike is said to be
costing large amount Of money every
day the men are out. That company is
also much crippled in the boat yard as
.,ll Of the boat yard painters are on
strike. That there Is truth in the
rnnor that proposed changes will
suom take place in the management of
that company is becoming more apparent.
Many Of the machinists expect an early
settlement with the Harlan & Hollings-
worth Company on the basis of nine
honr day with ten hours pay.
ATTENDED, DIVINE SERVICE.
Nearly 200 of the striking machinists
and painters attended divine services at
ST. panls NJ. IL. Church last night to
hear special sermon by the Rev. w. l..
~ Murray on "The Mediator Between
'apita and Labor" They met at the
Smiih Building and marched to the
church in a body. Mr.. Murray took his
text from First Timothy second chapter
aud fifth and sixth verses: "F0r there is
nnr God, and one mediator between God
and men, the man Christ Jesus, who
gave himself ransom for all to be
testified in due time"
