TO GO ON
STRIKE
Union HOrseshoers viii Quit
July | Unless Their Demands
Are Compiled With.

The tourneymen horseshoers OF this
city are determined TO secure the union
demands and at a meeting held in the
Labor temple last evening voted to go

Nc. 30. proposed to fight the issue and
appointed a committee last evening 10
take charge OF the strike.
The union demands were given in the
News" some time ago when they were
first submitted TO the Master Horse
shoers association. Several conferences
have been held since then but the asso-
cIatlon seems disincrned to arbitrate the
question and at the last conference wlch
was held Tuesday evening there were no
results.
The association has been organized
about a year and has already set an

has never before come out fiat-footed

| Many OF the shops have already adopted

who wish to go on strike July lst vii
probably not greatly exceed fifty. mer
according TO the statement of unior
representative this morning. The unior
admitted IL journeymen into membership
at its meeting last evening. and now has
enrolled on its books nearly all OF tn
journeymen horseshoers OF this city, III
total membership being about 125. Ther'
is but one shop OF any Importance which
does not employ union men.
The corporation shops all employ unioi
men and there is little trouble expected
from this quarter. The corporation shop
are so designated because they are shop
attached to big business concerns and d.
not do work for the general public.
The Journeymen Horseshoers' union !
a very conservative organization as
also the Master Horseshoers' PROTECTIVE
association. The union has made ever
effort TO avoid strike but without sue
cess and now the question is to be pu
up to the association in full force and
they do not come to time before July is
a strike will be in order.
