THE FATHERS UNION.
Will Meet to Consider Answer of Elm.
 ployers Association.

Members of the Lathers union will hold a meeting tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock ill Carpenters hall to decide whether or not they shall accept the terms of answer of the employers as sOciatiOn to their demand for an in- crease in wages. Two or three months ago they gave the employers formal notice that on April 1 they would eX- pect to work under an increased rate of wages, that is, $2.25 a thousand lathes and fifty cents an hour when working on metal or wire lathe, which is popularly known as patent lathe. This demand was put in writ ing few weeks ago and was to cover a period Of three years. An answer has been received to the effect that the employers will sign the paper but for one year only, and that any differences that may arise shall be detrmined by a committee of three.
 The men say that what they ask for has been granted in other places and has been in operation in Hartford for some time
 The fathers of Bridgeport have made a similar demand.
 It is reported that the Hod Carriers union have some demands in view also
 The fathers seem to desire to be put on the same level as the bricklayers and their demands. if granted, will ac- complish this.
