Indications are that the United Ty-

fight against the printers for more
than year, is only In the beginning of
its troubles, says Luke Grant In Chicago
Record Herald. The electrotypers have
determined to 80 ont for an eight hour
day on Jan. 1 next. The printing press
men and bookblnders have tried to
make the electrotypers hold OF until
next May, when the three organiza-
tons would be ready to start a fight at
one time. The pressmen are under an
agreement which does not expire until
next May. The electrotypers. however,
refuse TO put of their demands, SO
that II is apparent the Typothetae is to
have its hands full next year If It per-
sists in refusing the shorter workday
In the printing industry.
Reports received at the headquarters
OF the Interpational Typographical un-
ion show that gradually the larger
firms In the United Typothetae are
weakening and signing the demands of
the printers. They have had about all
the eight that they want for awhile.
and II the other trades make concert
ed move it does not require much Of a
prophet TO tell what the results win be.
AS il stands now Il may DO said that
the eight hour day has been established
In the composing rooms throughout the
country, and II looks as IL It would ex-
tend to all other departments within a
short time. The printers have borne
the brunt Of the battle alone, and il the
shorter workday Is completely inaugu-
rated within the next six months they
