A large number of foundrymen" held
an eight.hour -meetit last evening.
Raporle were calleT for from every
shopin the county. They showed that
twenty-three men bad ylelded to the
demand for eight shops and will pay
for eight hours work, giving, double
pay for extra time. Three of these
shops hive agreed to pay for nine
hours work. Five firms have refused
-"to adopt the eight.hour day and two
of them have shut down indefinitely.
The following preamble and resolu
tLons were adopted:
Whereas, we conider it injudicious
to burden the eight-hour. question
with the wage question, believing tlht
the wage question will regulate Itseut
in the near future. Therefore,
Reaolved, that in all cases where it 'p
proposed to give eight hours' work
with pay for eight hours we reco
mend that the proposition be accepted.
It was estimated Sunday night that
40,000 of the 225,000 wageworkers of
Chicago have already profited by the
eight hours movement. About 65,000
are supposed to be out on a strike
yesterday morning. In many instances
where large bodies of men are solidl
fled under a trade'movement long
strikes are threatened if the present
attitude of the employes is main
tained. The movement has not yet
been attended by any violence.
