The San Francisco call., 1910-06-10

s1eS9kassgIIgleS2sYssa1 strike for IL weeks
for an eight hour
uay and an increase in wages. the
leather workers on horse goods union
at meeting Wednesday night decided
to abandon the struggle and accept the
10 per cent increase promised by the
proprletors. The union has been led
TO this course by several reasons. First,
the leather workers throughout the
east are going back to the nine hour
DAY, and the unions in Los Angeles
ana portland are returning to the nine
hour basis. The San Francisco union
deemed it a hopeless task to fight the
battle. for the shorter work day alone
Inc men on piece work will receive a
~ per cent increase, and the day
work hands will receive a raise of %
cents day. The union has already
settled with the firms of F. S. John
son and w. Davis, and went to work
on the new basis this morning.
When the union struck about 80 men
went out Since then almost two
thirds have left the city--so that there
are only ABOUT 80 who will take up
work in this city.
The local union will give ball next
Saturday night In Brewery Workers
hall. III capp street.
