PRINTERS MAY STRIKE.
Employers Refuse to Consider Ques-
ton of EIGHT Hour Dau.

Toronto Aug. 15.-Mr. Ellis, president of the
United Typothetae, appeared before the COM
mittee appointed by the International Typo
graphical Union to consider the eight hour day
movement Mr. Ellis stated emphaticay that
the employers would not consent to an eight hour
day. If there was to be a strike in January %
carry that point. he said the bosses would be
prepared to resist it.
Mr. Ellis denied having said that it was "a
crime against the constitution TO make con-
tract with organized labor" The employing
printers unanimous in the conviction that
TO shorten the hours of work would be ruinous
Those who approved the reduction from ten to
nine hours were now opposed to it. The theory
that about much could be accomplished in
nine hours as in ten is a delusion," he said.
Not only is no more work done. but the better
work which it prophesed would result has
not been forthcoming The decrease in hours
and increase in wages since 1898 amounted on
the average. to at least SO 1-3 per cent increase
in wages.
THE situation narrows itself down TO this
he added IF you insist upon the eight hour
day the printers of America must fight you. We
