K, Booth in icpoitcil in lO' diiya CiTiZKN to Imvo wiiil, " Tlio ternw they (the strikcis) oflured wcic the sainu as bofoi'o, ten honrs iinil 50 cents incrcivflo." This statement iippeais to be 8ini|)ly untrue, as 'J'liK CiTiZKS rei)ort declares repeatedly tliat llie Morlinien are (inito willing to com- proniiao the matter liy relin(|nishingall claim to tlie "50 cents increane ;"' and refjuirc now only tlie reduction of t no to "lun hours," Z* in consideration of the eorresjKuidiiig reduc- tion of wagrs tliis year. Mr. J. R. Uootli proceeds to say "they (the strikers) seem to lu,\e no idea of any argument. They wdl not look at the stale of the niarkot and the price of lumher." A little retlection shonld convince Mr. liooth that this is no part wliatevor of the work- man's l)usine3s, for it is manifestly tlic mill- owner's special business to "look at the state of the market and the price of lumber,"and then to decide wlietlier it is a(lvisal)le to run , the mills night and day, or by da.v only, or half ilay, or threo-ipiarter day, according as the ])rospoet may be encouraging or other- wise ; and to calculate also upon paying his men tair wages according to the nundier of hours' work re(inircd of tlicm, whether it should be a full day's work, or only half a day, or tluee-i|uarter day, or nino-t«ntha of a day. AD this is most unnnestionably the millowner's special business, and in justice to himself, r.nil his workmen also, ho slionld neglect no part whn ' jver of it. A niillowner also having any sonao of ^istice'and etiuity, or appreciation of sound "argument" himscu, could scarcely fail to perceive that it is most u ifair and unreasonable to demand cloven bouts' work for ten hours* wages ; precisely asi it would be to demand a day's work for half-a-day's wages, simply because of a temporary decline in the price of the mill proctuots. It is evidently the mill- owner s special business to make the surplus profits of the prosperous seasons tide over whatever dcHcieiicy may l>e 'ucnrred by any temporary decline in the market. The ab- olute absurdity of the contrary view be- comes apparent enough (if carried out prac- tically); for it would evidently necessitate the workmen's attempting (wlienover the markets were sntHciently unfavourable) to do a full day's hard work continuously for wages which might not suffice for even half u day's food. The above plain statement is calculated to convince reasonable men that if the strikers declare their willingness to compromise the matter and return t<> their work, proviiling tlic " ten honrs '' is con- ceded, waving all claim to the "50 cents increase," as stated in The Citizen report ; it will certiiinly be the millowntrs' fault (much more tlian the strikers) should the mill operations bo delayed a single day thenceforth.
