liaV1-'
In the mill district along the river from 11 aisled street, west tho situation at, the close of the day was much better than in tlie big iron works, but it was far from satisfactory. Tho planiugmill hands and sash, door and blind hands. all of whom started to work in the morning, caught the eight-hour fover. liy o'clock one or two mills shut down, tho men having dropped their work and Btartod out to stop tho other mills, liy noon something like 8,000men wore out demanding eight hours and threatening to tie up all the lumber business of the town if their demand was not granted.
A number of the mill-owners avortod trouble by conceding eight hours immediately, and in such cases tho hands returned to work when tho whistles sounded for 1 o'clock, und at their meeting Friday night the men decided not to strike at present for fear of antagonizing the interests of their trade brethren, tho carpenters, although the demand for eight hours is not abandoned.
The most serious trouble is likely to bo with the iron-workers, whose large numbers and undisciplined condition make them particularlydillicult fo treat with. At the malleable iron works tho management had no idea that a strike was imminent until about 9 o'clock when tho entire force, having drawn all the metal from tho cupolas, walked out, leaving only a few tnoldors and a number of girls working in tho core department. Theso soon quit also, l'resident Bailey, of tho iron works company, was thunderstruck at the situation, having had no intimation of tho impending trouble, tho workmen not oven presenting any grievances. IIo conferred with comraitteo representing tho strikers, who told him tho men wanted an advance of 15 per cent, in wages all around and tho eight-hour day. llr. Bailey told them that th« omployos were already getting mora out of the plant than wero tho membors of tho company, and with an advance of 15 per oont. In wages tho work would havo to be run at a doad loss, and, thoroforo, ho could not considor their demands. Tho men held a consultation and dually agreed to accept a 10 por cent raise in wages. This proposition was also refused.
SATURDAY,
extended over tho lust
two years. As Is usual la
A bout oOii of the 1,500
such
oases, expectation has ruth/ir exceeded realization, so far as the number of men Involved Is concerned, but the number of strikes reported Is lurKC, although on the average numbering few men each, except in a few instuncos. Their distribution is so wide us to fully bear out Uie claims made by the labor leaders regarding the influence of their organization over large urea. "Thai tho number of strikes or the number of men Involved was not larger may bu credited to two cauMOS. One is the readiness exhibited by employers to meet their employes halfway and the other is the willingness of the latter to accept some concessions rath'"- thaii Imperil th« MicccfcK of the entire movement by Instating on the original demand. In some instances the men have accepted a reduction iu wages to correspond with the dceline in time of work. Auuther reason, and a potent one, for the small number of strikers Is tho postponement until later on in the month of the demand ot tho federation at several largo cities. This Is notably the case in Xew York City and vicinity, and In the West at St Louis and Sun Francisco. "Not with standing all these Influences Thursday May 1, liimi, will go on record as having witnessed the starting of mure strikes than anj other day. 1 he total number of strikes occurring on May 1 Is 51, involving iu.wai'
cm
ployes, most of whom are in the carpenter trade, as over H.UIJ alone of this branch of the building trades went out. In kindred lines tlie agitation was also very prominent, stone-cutters to the number of over ••!,») going out. During tlie month of AprV HO strikes v.-ere reported, involv. lug JH.U'W men against sixty-ona strikes and l!!,ni,1 men in April last year. the llrst four months of thi
During
year tliero
have been £17 strikes, involving tvs.niy men ugainst only&!l strikes and IV.r.'t men ir. lfisa' Intimating the number ot April strikers still idle on May 1 at 15,(^)1. ami adding to this the total number of idle men caused by these strikes, we have a total of -10.tXi men'idle on that date. It is not. unlikely that the total number out of employment on .May was nearer 75.0K1. "hate advices Indicate that the earlier conservative feWltik' existing In Chicago has given place to a mure radical one. As we go to press It is reported that lu,iU workers in the sasli, door and blind factories of that city have struck and that tlie total nuint'-r of this class of strikers may e.jua! liVOj. If Ulis proves true the total number ot Industrial employes Idle on May I may equal IO.OUU." mom: sTWKr.iis ix criicAi.o.
Chicaoo, May 3.—Uutweun (,000 and 10,000 inon, apparently without serious grievances and certainly without any organization, wont on striko Friday in tho lumber district and along the "black road" in tho southwestern part of the city, tho scene ol so much turbulence and rioting four years ago.
As a result the malleable iron works at Western avenue and tho "black road," employing about 1,200 in on and women, was compelled to ''lose the MeCormick reaper works lost ono-third of its men: tho Ajax Forgo Company had its men stop work to avoid an attack from tho strikers, which was feared: the Wells-French Company locked out nearly 1.000 men, while iJaruhaiuA* Richardson's loii moil and 1". F. Huberts' force of,112 quit work in a body.
At noon 1.000 men walked out of tho Wells French Car Company's establishment. Loss than half of tho men had any grievanco, but to avoid troublo and tho appearanco of sympathy with the employers, tho entiro force quit in a body, without making any statement at all to Manager Kinzio. Only tho blacksmiths presented any potition, and that was for an oightliour day instead of the ten hours which they now have.
Manager Mercer, of the Ajax forge works, took time by tho forelock and asked his men, 200 in number, to quit at noon, which they did, and work will not be resumed in the establishment until the trouble biows over. llarnham A Hichardson and E. 13. Roberts also stopped their men and will await developments. 'J he^ entire number of omployos of the N. Iv. Fairbanic company on Eighteenth street, about live hundred and liftv, will go out on Monday. Tho coopers, numbering eighty, havo already struck. The coopers mado a demand a week ago for tlie adoption of the eighthour day with nine hours' pay. It was refused them and they gave notice of theT** intention to strike. Tho other employes quit work, it is supposed out of sympathy with the coopers.
The coopers are earnest in their demand for eight hours, ami in all portions of the city the men arequitting work on a refusal of the employers to surrender. The question of wages cuts but a slight figure in the struggle, tho men believing that that point will settle itself in duo course of time, in the northwestern districts of the city there is not one cooper at work. from •!.00(1 to 4,000 sash, door, and blind men walked out of the various factories in tho south-west lumber district yesterday and their number will be increased to 10,000. Tho action was apparently without warning. The men camo to tfieit places of employment as usual and. with only a few exceptions, proceeded to work when tho whistles blew. An hour or so later they threw down thoir tools and quietly walked out, giving no explanation and without any sort of scene.
In tho lumber yards trouble is also brewing. 'The lumber shovers employed at the diiferoHt yards in tho southwestern part of the city to tho number of several thousand are divsatistied, and a strike among this class of workmen is looked for a' any moment. Tho lumber shovers are nearly all foreigners and are tho poores: paid men at the yards. They have been only receiving eighty or ninety con',:? a day for ton hours' work, and they intend lo demand shorter hours and more pay. If these men go out it will .shut down work in most of tho yards, tieing up all the southwestern luu '-or trade.
The ai.,itration board which is settling the terms by which the journeymon carpenters are to go to work for the now lli.ss Carponters' Association did not conclude its labors yesterday and will resume the hearing this morning at tho tirand l'aoific. None of tho terms of settlement can bo announcod until tho board has concluded Its work and the judges dotermine all tho details of their decision.
At Demtna Sr. IJurka's furniture factory, corner of Nineteenth street and Uluo Island avenue, tho 400 mon employed there camo to tho shops yesterday prepared to work. They formally demanded that tho firm observo the eight-hour day, and upon being refused tho 400 quietly marchcd from the building. They say they will stay out on a striko until thoir demands are acceded to.
STIHKINIi MINEliS.
Pan a. 111., 8.—The miners at the 1'ana Coal Company's shaft No. 2 struck Friday morning. The check-woighman put on by tho minors some duys ago reported that tho company's scales wero causing short weight. A committee investigated, found the scales practically correct, and informed tire company that the men wero willing to return to work. Tho company, however, returned word that there was no work at present lii.ooMiM.Tox, 111., May 3.—Thoro Is some likelihood of a striko of tho miners employed by tho McLean County Coal Company at Uloomington.

i-iuir
men
employed
by the McCormickx walked out and joined th" strikers from tho malleahlo Works, but tlm company claims to lie able to run along without them and has made all its arrangements to light any reduction of hours or increase in wa^res. 1'.*rly in tlie day tho police wero notified of impending trouble and a largo force of oflicers was scattered through the district within easy reach to quoli any such outbreak as occurred in the Kruno neighborhood four years ago. When Mct'ormiek's men quit work for the day at 5:30 o'clock it was feared that some of them would be assaulted, hut no trouble arose. Many of the men who worked Friday said they would not risk working again until till tlie strikers roturnod to their places, and it is probable that the McC'orniicks will foliow the example thoir neighbors have set and closo their factory until tho whole district starts up ."."jain.
