San , April 4—In accordance
with a resclution passed some time,ago
by the Internationsl unio1, the book
and job printers of this city went on a
strike today. The bone of contention is
anine hour workday inst.ad of a ten
hour day.

The International union voted for a
nine hour day and the various cities
were given their own time to enforce the
rule. San Francisco chose April 4 as the
time. for enforcing the demand. : The
local offices were given notice that ubless
they granted the concession the union
men would cease work today. Some of
the printing firms acceded to the demand
and some refused. A strike was then
ordered in all the offices that refused
and is confined to them. Consequently
the trouble is notas yet of large propor-
tions.

The Typographical union of San Fran-
cieco haa a membership of 700. Of these
400 are working today. Before the strike
there were 150 men either out of em-
ployment or for other reasons not work-
ing. The remainder of those not working
are pressmen and yaembers of the allied
trades.
