held meeting at their headquarters in
The Star building last evening, when a
circular letter from the press feeders
union, asking an expression from the en-
ployers on the new scale Of wages and the
amendments to the bylaws was discussed,
but the members refused to say what con-
illusions were reached.

eight-hour day and an increase in wages
will be met favorably by the employers,
as it was given out at this meeting that
the press feeders and the employing print
ers would get together on these questions
without any lockout.
