13 REFUSED THEM
Unless hie employer le giving him an
eight-hour day. there le not a union
flat-bed pressman working In Atlanta
Tuesday.
In every shop In the city where the
employers refused to elgn up for eight
houre a day the pressmen declined to
work and, as a result, there are many
Idle presses In Atlanta. The employers
contsnd that the pressmen are breaking
the contract with the union.
This action came about as the result
of a report made at a meeting of the
union Monday night by a committee
which canvassed the city and asked
employers to grant an eight-hour work
Ing day.
This committee consisted of Presl-
dont Dennis Lindsey, of the Atlanta
union; Secretary B. L. Barham and J.
R. Penny. Every employer In the city
employing union pressmen was visited
and requested to sign for eight hours,
Rome agreed to the proposition, and
they are the only employers in Allan
ta who have union pressmen at work.
Outside of two or three small print
Ing shops In the city, every establish,
ment used union presamsn. Soms who
had non-union men In fitter depart
ments employed union men to run the
presses. Others are known aa label
shops—shops entitled to use the union
label of the allied printing trades.
These shops employ union men
throughout.
If any of these shops utlng the union
label and whose pressmen have quit
work attempt to run their presses with
non-union men, they lose their label
and will thus be deprived of the bene
fits of being thoroughly union shopa
So thoroughly are the pressmen of
Atlanta' unionised that It Is declared It
will be necessary for employers to Im
port non-union pressmen to take the
places of those who have quit work.
While President Lindsey did not care
to make known the names of those
shops which have signed up for eight
hours, It Is said that they number
about a dosen. Some of these are small
shops and the total number of unlort
pressmen not working In Atlanta
Tuesday Is In the neighborhood of too.
The total number of union pressmen
In Atlanta la something between 115
and ISO.
The light for an eight-day In At
lanta Is ths same that Is being made
ell over the country. The report from
the national headquarters a few duys
ago showed that the number of union
flat-bed pressmen in the United States
enjoying the eight-hour day la 7.10S:
the number of pressmen assistants en
joying this day Is 8,252, and the number
of web pressmen enjoying the eight-
hour day Is 2.194. The total number of
flat-bed pressmen and assistants now
working eight hours dally Is 15,581.
The number of flat-bed pressmen
who have not received the shorter day
la 1.895 and the number of assistants
Is 1,748. I

are not affected by the present fight,
for the reason that every union web
preesman In the country Is getting an
eight-hour day.
The union men In Atlanta are welt
sutlsfled with the situation and believe
they will win their fight.
Employers' Statement.
The various firms affected by the
strike of the union pressmen and feed
ers, which took place Tuesday morn

In Its terms the scale of wages and
working conditions to be observed by
the parties thereto. - It le not claimed
that the employers have failed to carry
out. both In letter and In spirit, their
part of the contract. In spile of these
facta tho business commltteo of the
union gave notice late Monday that the
union had decided to break the con
tract, and at the sante time served
a demand for a changed contract, to
take effect Tuesday morning, under
penalty of a strike. To make the con
cessions demanded would mean a rev
olution In the businesses Involved,
which would take many months to
complete, even wera It possible.
