Washington, May 24.-President Jas.
O'Connen. President of the Interna-
tional Association Of Machinists, an
nounced this afternoon that he would
recommend to the next annual meeting
of the machinists at Toronto, beginning
June Srd, that date be set for the nine
hour day without reduction in wages
on all the railroads of the country. On
all railroads which fail to comply with
this demand, a strike will be ordered.
This recommendation will be made in
Mr.. O'ConnelPs annual report.
Mr.. O'Connell says that a strike
would involve probably 100000 men, in
Guiding 10000 machinists, the others be-
ing boiler makers, pattern makers and
semi skilled workmen who work with
the machinistS in the various shops.
The policy will be to enforce the de-
mand by tieing up practically the en-
tire mechanical service of the roads. 1t
was simply a matter Of policy, he said,
that the railroads were not included
in the present strike. Mr.. O'Connell
says the convention doubtless will fix a
date when the nine hour day must
be in operation, and believes this date
should be some day in the autumn.
At o'clock this afternoon Mr.. O'Con-
nell said the outlook of the present
strike was very gratifying. A report
from Memphis, Tenn, announced the
signature of six establishments to the
agreement. The headquarters of the
strike has been shifted from Washing
ton to Toronto, for which city President
O'Connell left tonight He will stop at
Pittsburg, Buffalo and possibly some
other city to confer with local strike
leaders and will take charge of the To-
ronto headquarters Sunday night.

This poison has been used for long period

make Investigations.

another disease. is durable by its means.
The publication of DIR. de Moura's paper has
aroused much interest in the matter in medical
circles.
