THE MACHINISTS' DEMAND.
From Monday's Herald'
About a year ago tho executive board
of the International Order of Machinists
gave notice of a demand for a nine*
honr work day, and later a strike order
wo* Issued which goeB into effect today,
Mav 20.
'While the demands of the machinists
i. regarded as reasonable and has al
ready been oooeded to by most of the
employing firms and companies through
out the country, it is estimated that at
least CO,000 men will be affected by the
strike order which went into effect at 7
o’clock this morning. An understand
ing between the men nnd their em
ployers was reached in many plaoes as
late os yesterday, and wherever the do-
mand has been granted tho machinists
are working as usual today.
The 60.000 men who havo suspended
work today are scattered all over the-
country, but they are mostly In tho
North and West. It is expeotod that
settlements will bu reached in many
plaoos today, and that the striko will, In
snoh cases, be a matter of only u fow
hoars or a day at most.
' Tho worBt trouble is looked for on the
Paolflo coast. At San Franoisoo, where
tho largo battleship Ohio is building
and other extensive contracts aro In
hand, it Is annenneod that the large
concents hare been preparing to resist
tho machinists’ demand.
At this writing wo havo had nothing
to indicate tho extent of the strike, bnt
our telegraphic dispatohes will no doubt
oover the situation.

A nnmber of good people in Buffalo
who satisfy their sense of dety by going
to chnroh on Sunday are invoking the
aid of the courts to close the Pau-Amer-

is that the tens-af thousands of people
who would if permitted view the exhi
bition on Sunday will if deprived of
that privilege go-to chnroh instead.
What fact of experience is there to
support this theory ? Is there say snoh
thing in this, oountry as compulsory

ohildren ? Does not the common sense
and common, observation of these Sab
