Lithographers' Protective and Bene-
fetal Association, whose members are
on a strike in every city in the coun-
try for an eight-hour day, reports that
the struggle for the shorter workday
is making satisfactory progress. Many
shops, among them some OF the largest
in Milwaukee, have conceded the de-
mands of the men and many others
are expected to- follow their example
within a short time. The argument
of the men for the eight-hou day is
based to a large extent upon the un-
usually dangerous character OF their
employment. Statistics show that As
per cent of the photographers of the
country die of tuberculosis. This start
ling fact is due in great measure to
the adors and fumes which arise from
the acids used in the various processes.
which are particularly injurious to
health. The union photographers of
this city have been enjoying the eight
hour day for several months.
