matter OF a strike was placed up TO the
members Of the unions He then gave
a number of statistics showing the mum
ber OF men concerned and the support
that was being given them. He ended mis-
remarks with the statement that Il would
not be long before every member OF the
union would be enjoying the eight-hour
scale.
The next speaker was eX-Gov. Garvin
and he gave a hearty voicing TO the prin-
ciples OF the eight hour day and approved
Of the fair attitude Of the printers IN the
bringing about Of tho strike. and then
gave some interesting talk along the lines
