On the 10th instant some of the framers' bosses of New York, who have a union of their own, sent a notice to our sister union (the Framers’ Union of New York) asking to establish the nine-hour rule and pay by the hour. The men replied they would work nine hours, or until dark, but would not submit to a reduction in pay. The bosses grew stubborn, and over 300 men went on strike on the 14th inst. Next day some bosses yielded, and a few shops came out, so that 23 shops and 280 men were on strike on the 15th inst. Then the bosses proposed to compromise on nine hours and a half, and at the same time many architects and contractors proposed that the Framers’ Union should take the work and do it on the cooperative plan. On the 16th inst our brothers informed their employers they would not compromise, and gave until noon the same day for the bosses to yield. Then the union proposed to do the work on the cooperative plan. Shortly before the hour fixed the bosses yielded to the old rates. Thus, after two days and a half the strike was successful. This shows the efficiency of the New York Framers’ Union. All hail to our brothers ! CHRONIC DISTURBERS.
