Abstract:
"Carpenters Want More Pay. The carpenters of this city have demanded $3.50 for a nine hour day. It is probable the demand will be granted. A meeting of the Yakima Carpenters' union will be held this evening to further consider the matter. It is said the greater number of employees will willingly grant the demands of the journeymen. The men claim that owing to the rise in the price of all commodities of life and also rents, they are compelled to ask for more wages."
