EIGHT-HOUR DAY
Granted Engineers at W. P.
Eaton Packing Co.
Starting last Monday morning the
engineers at the W. P. Eaton Pack
ing Co., began working in three shifts
of eight hours each. The engineers
in this plant had previous to Mon
day been working twelve hours per
day, seven days a week. Several
weeks ago the attention of Mr. Walter
Eaton, general manager for the com
pany, was called to these unpleasant
conditions. Mr. Eaton readily saw
the point and agreed the conditions
were such as not to be desirable by
any one and assured the men that upon
his return from his vacation that the
matter would be rectified.
Immediately Mr. Eaton returned he
instructed the men to secure an ad
ditional engineer which was done and
as stated they are now working on
eight-hour shifts. This spirit of fair-

UNIONIST NOT
POLITE
Kansas City, Kan.—The city com
missioners will apologize to Governor
Allen because organized labor car
ried a banner in its Labor Day pa
rade with this inscription: "To hell
with Allen's industrial court law."
The city officials are shocked at
such absence of drawing room man
tiers by "vulgah" wage earners who
object to going to jail when they
refuse to accept poor working con
ditions.
To date the city commissioners
have not apologized to the trade
unionists because of the governor's
attempt to re-establish slavery.
These commissioners see nothing
unusual in jailing workers if they ex
ercise their American privilege and
strike, but the commissioners are hor
rified when the workers show their
contempt for those who would enslave
them

The biggest strike in point of num
bers in the history of Cincinnati vir
tually was ended when shortly before
U.st midnight the Machinists' Union
voted by a majority of approximately
5CC to withdraw their picket lines
and allow union members to go to
work in any shop. There was a pro
viso attached that no shop insist on
the non-union agreement.
The strike was to enforce demands
for minimum wages of 75 cents an
hour for machinists, 60 cents an hour
for specialists, and 50 cents an hour
for helpers. The strike began the
latter part of April, 1920, and has
been in effect 20 weeks. At its crest
it is said that approximately 10,000
men were out. This, however, was
disputed by the employers. After the
second week the union began to pay
strike benefits of $ 8a week, and Busi
ness Agent Joseph Haering last night
said that more than $500,000 had been
COME AND ATTEND THIS SALE-
paid in strike benefits.
Mr. Haering said:
•'There was a considerable minority
in favor of continuing the strike, but
after a thorough discussion of all fac
tors involved a majority of the mem
bers voted to end it. We believe we
gained substantial benefits. We did
not request a closed shop nor recog
nition of the union. We have obtained
the wages sought in 70 shops, and in
