New York, oct. Spiritually all
printing establishments in the city,
according to union claims, were tied
up here today by a strike of press
feeders. The walkout came as a re-
suit of refusal by employers to grant
them a flat wage increase of 81 a
week
The pressmen thrown out of work
by the absence of the feeders an
nounced they would confer tomorrow
with the employers on demands for
10 per cent increases which they have
made. If an agreement cannot be
reached, it was announced by the
pressmen's untion they will submit
their demands to arbitration as pro-
vided by union rules.
Present pay is SIS to $22 a week
for feeders and $40 to s35 for press
men and it is said the employers Of
fered war relief scale of increases
ranging from so cents to SO a week
One of the largest printing concerns
involved is that which is engaged upon
the contract of printing the ballots
