are about 100 men employed In the
business In Richmond, and all have
answered the call to strike. II was

very much that they have found IT
necessary to take the step they have
taken. But their request is of such
nature that, II we acceded. 1t would
mean the complete annihilation OF our
business. And though We are asked to
give an eight-hour day at ten-hour-
day wages, we understand that shops
further South OF us are still working
