WITH THE j
MACHINlSTS

The striking machlnists are en-.
c ouraged in their stand by the con-
cess ions gained yesterday and the
Belts Machine Company and another
large shop are expected to fall in
line today. A leading machinist in
speaking of the situation said today
"As has been SO clearly stated by
the New York Journal today this is
not a strike for the maintenance OF
the principle of union labor 1t is
one for definite material benefits.
The men want their days work re-
duced from ten to nine hours with
out reduction in pay.
There is nothing novel or on its
face unreasonable in such demand.
1t is merely one step in world. wide
movement that has been going on
for more than century. In all
trades the working hours have been
steadily shortened. The day used
to be fifteen or sixteen hours long. 1t
has been gradually contracted until
now in many trades in this country
it is only eight hours, and in few Is
it over ter. In Australia eight
hours are the legal maximum.
Therefore the machinists have
every right to ask that the step
which has been taken in SO many
trades should be taken in theirs.
The only question is whether the
condition of business in their indus
try is such as to permit the change
at the present time.
The indication are that It Is.
The country is prosperous, and
the promptncss with which many
employers have granted the de.
mands OF The men seems to show
that they see more profits in keep
ing their establishments open nine
hours day than in keeping them
closed all the time.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the
dispute may be settled at once and
that it may leave another great class
of workers permanently benefited by
an increase in its time Of leisure.
No fears are entertained that any
strangers will come here to take
the places Of the men out on strike.
The men in the Remington Ma
chine shop have agreed to accom-.
modate ,the firm by working until
$50 clock during the long days.
Every department IN the Pussy
and Jones Company's works adopt
ed resolutions OF thanks to the Com
pany for granting the demands OF
the machinists and including them
in the concession.
A. L. Hendercr & Sons Co. granted
the concession asked to 30 machinists
and boys today.

Sold out to N. Y. Parties

The Conduit Heat, Light and
Power Company composed of Viii.
mington Individuals who were
granted the right to occupy the
streets, alleys and lanes of this
city, have sold their franchise to
New York capitalists, Mr.. Edmund
M. Mitchell, Jr.. who is president
Of the company has been negotiat-
ing for the sale of the franchise for
some time and at last has found
purchaser for it. The franchise is
a valuable one and if the parties
can operate it they can make a
mint of money.
1t is not known how soon the COR
poration making the purchase will
begin operations in our city, tear
ing up the street and putting down
the 'conduits. The franchise is
valuable one and will not bring the
city 10 one dollar The only per-
sons benefited will bethose to whom
the franchise was granted by the
Street and Sewer Commission.
