Page 16. --- La semaine de 44 heures et la journée de 8 heures. --- GAGES AUGMENTES --- La grève des ouvriers électriciens à l'emploi de lu Ville qui durait depuis trois semaines environs est terminée ce matin, les gréavistes ayant obtenu tout ce qu’ils de mandaient. La délégation qui s'est rendue ce matin auprès des Commissaires  pour renouveler les demandes fuites par écrit il y a quelque temps, un se composait de MM W.-J.

Temps et demi sera pavé pour les heures supplémentaires jusqu'à minuit et temps double après minuit jusqu'il la relève du matin. Temps et demi aussi le samedi jusqu'a 5 heures du soir ce temps double après 5 heures ainsi que le dimanche el les Jours de fête. De plus, seuls des ouvriers faisant partie de l'Union pourront travalller pour la ville. Il est probable que les municipalités environnantes vont être obligées de suivre l'exemple île Montréal, car les électriciens qui sont à peur emploi n'attendaient que cette décision pour formuler de semblablés demandes.

“Moulders Win In Hamilton,” Toronto Globe. June 28, 1919. Page 03. --- Company Grants Eight-Hour Day and Considerable Increase in Wages --- CARMEN ASK FOR A RAISE --- (Special Despatch to The Globe.) Hamilton, June 27. - The Monarch Brass Co. has given in to the demands of its striking moulders and coremakers for an eight-hour day and an increase of 15 cents to 75 cents an hour. As a result of a conference yesterday at which George H. Douglas, President of the C.M.A., and Walter Rollo, Secretary of the Trades and Labor Council, took part, it is believed that a settlement of the strike of the employees of other foundries, which has been in progress for eight weeks, will also be settled.

Car Men Ask Increase. Two street railwaymen, whose agreement does not expire until next April, and who now received from 33 to 37 cents an hour for a ten-hour day, have waited upon the company and asked for an increase. They say they were received by the company and hope to have their troubles adjusted. The employees of the various suburban lines of the Dominion Power & Transmission Co. threaten to strike unless the away of the Conciliation Board is signed by the parent company instead of the several subsidiary companies which have agreed to accept the award.
