SOON ENDED. I

Five Thousand World's Fair Builders Quit Work.

THEY ARE IDLE OHLY TWELVE HOURS

A Compromise Effected by Which All Workers Receive a Minimum ltate of Wages, But None of Them Suf:X fer from Discrimination.

BOTH SIDES SATISFIFt)

CHICAGO, April 11.—Twelve hours saw the beginning aud the peaceful ending of a strike at the world's fair Monday that involved all union workmen within the gates, to the number of 5,000 or more, and imperiled the successful opening of the exposition. The settlement .satisfied the laborers and the exposition authorities end was effected in a conference that lasted nearty all day, with short intervals for consultation on both sides.

Term* of Settlement.

By its terms the union inen gain a minimum rate of wages, are allowed passes for their delegates, with the privilege of entering the grounds and talking with their tradesmen at any time. The exposition gains its contention that no discrimination should be made between union and nonunion labor. The strike mainly was to force the exposition to recognize the unions and unionize all its work. Two years ago the exposition authorities declared that their undertaking being of a national character they could not discriminate between workmen and employ union men only, and they have never changed their attitude in this respect. Union and non-union men have worked side by side upon world,s fair work none but citizens of the United States have been employed the eight-hour work day has been observed.

More Than /1,000 Men Went Out. According to figures furnished by contractors themselves, between 5,000 and 0,000 men struck, Of this number I,800 were carpenters, from S00 to 1,000 were painters, 400 were electrical workers. and the others were cornice workers, plasterers, cement workers, orna mental iron workers, fresco painters, glaziers, hod carriers, gravel rooleii steam fitters and machinists.

Many Additions to the Ranks. Strikers' headquarters were at 5522 Lake avenue. Pickets were posted at all gates as early as 5 o'clock and remained on duty until the strike was settled. President Cogswell, of the carpenters' council, and President Russell, of. the building trades council, issued orders that the men should keep away from the gates and use no force against non-union men jiassing in or out of the grounds. The pickets were charged to enforce this rule, and in the afternoon they permitted no crowds to gather on their respective beats. Not a workman, however, left the grounds without being urged to side with the strikers. As soon as a convert was made he was taken to headquarters and enrolled. The pickets claim that twothirds of the men they talked to joined them, and their success in this particular kept them In a good humor all day.

In the execution of their commission some of the delegates undertook to persuade all the men, union and non-union alike, that they ought to quit. In some instances argument led to blows and blows to incipient riots, in which the Columbian guards were called upon to act as peacemakers. In the eight hours between 8 a. and 4 p. m. four labor men were arrested and one non-union man was seriously injured.

The labor leaders claimed that the efforts to intimidate the laborers were in violation of their orders to'the delegates. As soon as they learned what had been done the belligerent missionaries were called out of the park and instructions sent to the men to leave the vicinity of the gates. This averted any further trouble. It hp.J been feared earlier in the day that a riot would follow the departure of the non-union men from the grounds at night, but the. strikers had left the scene, and, so far as could be noticed in the immediate vicinity, none of the workers were molested.

A Conference.

A little before noon A. P. Russell, representing the building trades council, came to the council of administration then in session and presented a communication from the Btrikers, asking the exposition to grant its request embodied in the demand for a full recognition of the unions, or, failing in that, the council was asked to submit the whole question to a committee of arbitration to consist of three members, ivliich should report by Wednesday next at 4 o'clock.

Mr. Russell was met with the reply that the council could not and would not discuss the proposition to employ none but union men. Mr. Massey of the national commission is also of the council and said that the law of the United States bearing on the freedom of contract forbade hira in his capacity as a government officer to vote for anything that involved discrimination between citizens because they were union or nonunion men. To add to the strength of his position, Mr. Massey asked Mr. Russell whether he had stopped to consider the very unpleasant position the union had assumed when, it laid itself liable to a charge of conspiracy, not only against the state and national law, but against the treaty laws prevailing between the United States and the countries represented within the park. As reported later, this seemed to be anew thought to the labor leader, and he asked to be given time to confer with President Cogswell and the other representatives of the union.

Called It a Conspiracy.

At 2 o'clock the delegation returned and went into conference. Those present. were: President Iliginbotham, I) II. Hurnham, director of works, Mr. Schwab, Commissioners Massey and St. Clair, composing the council, and A. P. Russell, president of thebuildingtradcs council J. li. Cogswell, president of

the carpenters' council Frank Farrell, of the painters' union Edward F. Hughes, president of the gravel workers' union, and George W. Geary, president of the architectural iron workers' union.

From 2 o'clock until nearly (I the concil went over the ground, Judge St. Clair and Mr. Massey insisted on the point they had made that no settlement should involve a discrimination against unorganized labor. They also laid considerable stress on the fact that the very constitution of the unions was a conspiracy, whether bv statuto or common law. Finally.- and after President Cogswell had withdrawn, a compromise was effected and signed. The agreement provides that no discrimination shall be made between union and non-union workmen that none of the men who went out on the strike shall not be refused employment hereafter on that account that every artisan shall receive at least the minimum rate of wages prescribed for the trade in which he is employed, and that passes entitling them to free admission to the grounds, with the right to confer with the workmen of his trade at all times, so long as such conference shall n,ot materially interfere with or retard the work, shall be furnished the authorized representative or delegate of each trade. These concessions are made with the understanding that they shall be accepted as a full settlement of the controversy, the men to return to work at once, and the stipulations to be in force during the whole period of the exposition.

Have Little to Say.

At the close of the meeting neither the exposition people nor the labor leaders had very ranch to say. Mr. Hughes, speaking* for the men, said the outcome was entirely satisfactory and the agreement would be carried out in good faith. All the men who struck would be back at work this morning and there would be no further disturbance of any sort among the workmen.

Commissioner Massey, who was spokesman for the council, said He was very glad the strike had been settled and settled amicably. Said he: "We could uot conscientiously yield the request that only union labor should bo cm ployed. It was against our duty as govvru mont ortlcials and vras n^aln^t my individual conviction that every man has a right to work when and where he pleases and at any wages he chooses to accept* so long as he does not interfere with .another tnan's rights. We were glad to yield everything else that was asked, bncauso we wanted to show our disposl. tion to bo fair and just. We are sure there will be no further trouble and that work will go on uow with a rusk"

Ironworkers Quit Work.

CHICAGO, April 11.—More than 1,000 architectural and ornamental ironworkers employed in different shops and upon numerous buildings in course of construction throughout the city are on strike for shorter hours. About onc-lialf of the men employed in that trade were granted their demands and continued at their work-. The demands of the strikers are for an eight-hour working day for outside workmen and nine hours for those employed in shops at the same wages as are now being paid.

CONDP.MNKD THK COUNTS.

WASIIIXOTOX, April 11.—The recent decisions of Judges Taft and Ricks in Ohio and Speer in Georgia in relation to the rights and duties of railroad employes came up in the senate Monday in connection with a resolution instructing the committee on interstate, commerce to inquire into that and other subjects, and quite along and interesting debate resulted,which had not closed when the senate adjourned.

Drought on the Debate.

Senator llutler (S. C.) reported from the committee on interstate commerce a resolution authorizing that committee to inquire whether or not the methods prevailing in the transportation of freight and passengers on the great railway lines of the country and the conditions and necessities of travelers and shippers and transportation companies justify or require a repeal or modification of section 5 of the interstate commerce act, which prohibits pooling under any circumstances also whither any modifications should be made concerning the relations between common carriers and their employes. .Vclfcr on 111 Ricks Decision.

Senator

Peffer (Kan.) thought that

Judge Ricks' recent decision, which had been a good deal criticised by labor organizations, would be approved by them when they came to understand better its scope and view it in all its fullness. It was the first great judicial declaration of principle concerning the relations between employers and employes. It was a declaration that the railroad employe was as much a common carrier as the railroad president or the railroad company. Judge liiclc's decision, Senator Peffer believed, would lead to the final adjustment, of all the difi'iculties between the employes and employers of carrying corporations.

The resolution was referred. Sherman Against .lunkotliiK Trips. Senator Jones .(Ark.) offered a resolution instructing the committer on Indian affairs to continue investigations heretofore ordered, with power to visit Indian reservations and the Indian territory.

Senator Sherman (O.) remarked that investigations which had been ordered two years ago should have terminated by this time. It seemed to him that there should bo an end to such investigations. Unless there was a public, demand for them and unless there was some public usefulness to come out of them the popular opinion would condemn them and would say that they were mere pleasure parties organized at the expenseof thegovernment of the United States. He asked that the resolution should go over.

Senator Sherman's remarks were replied to and the resolution was advocated by Senators Jones (Ark.), Call (Fla.). Itutler (S. C.). lliggins (Del.) anu Haw-ley (Conn.) and finally the debate drifted into a discussion of the recent judicial deeisious as to the relations between railroad corporations aud railroad employes.

Dispute)! the Right of Courts. Senator Gorman (Md,) took the lead in this discussion. lie said that one matter to be inquired into was the recent decisions of United States judges and whether, in view of the interstate commerce law and of the anti-trust law, judges had a right to determine not only what a railroad employe should do, but what he should not do. Those decisions were, the first great step on the part of the judiciary to make serfs of the men who were employed by railroad corporations. The recent judicial decision that railroad employes might be restrained by an order of court, and might be fined and imprisoned if they resigned their positions, was a most extraordinary decision, and one that had to bo met on the very threshold of the next congress. It ought to be inquired into carefully by men who had but one motive, and that to protect the interests of commerce and see that no injustice was done to individuals, and that the courts of the United States should not be armed with powers as arbitrary as those of the czar of Russia.

I'latt Disagreed with Commit. Senator I'latt (Conn.) said that he had not yet seen in the decision referred to anything that looked like usurpation of power by the courts or that looked like, degrading the workingmcn of the country to the condition of serfs. He believed that the employes of railroads had no more right to engage in discriminations ol commerce than their employers had. And he did not believe that there, waf anything either in the interstate commerce act or in the anti-trust act that was not an affirmation of well-eon-sidered and well-established common law.

Vest Said It Was Monstrous. Senator Vest (Mo.) said that Judge Speer in his decision had only aflirmcd what every lawyer knew to be common law. He had decided that any contract or regulation in restraint of commerce of the United States was absolutely void that any engineer had a rigut to give up his employment but that when the association of locomotive engineers or any other association or corporation undertook to make a rule and to enforce it in restraint of commerce, that rule was absolutely void. If any judge had declared such a doctrine as the senator from Maryland (Senator Gorman) had spoken of it would be reversed by the supreme court of the United States without dissenting opinion against its reversal. Such a doctrine would be monstrous.

Voorhee* on RiglitH of Employee*. Senator Voorhees (Ind.) said that tha

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report

most dangerous question that the country was asking to-day was in regard to the encroachment of corporate power, of colossal wealth against those who were helplessly in its power and whom it wanted to have chained to their labor as completely as the. galley slave was chained to his oar. This power claimed that the railroad employe was enlisted as a private soldier, and if he left his post he was to be punished as a deserter. He had, therefore, felt it his duty to introduce a resolution directing an inquiry as to what action might be necessary for the better protection of the laboring people of the United States in their'rights, and for their greater security from the encroachment of corporate power. Nobody pretended, Senator Voorhees added, that a railroad engineer could "leave his engine, endangering a train of cars and endangering the lives of iLs passengers. Hut. that was not all that was contemplated in the interstate commerce law. That law said in plain terms that he could not. 'alone and in an orderly way. sever his connection from a corporation that he was enlisted to stay and was to be punished as a deserter if he did not stay. He thought that the committee on interstate commerce could not be better employed than in investigating this dangerous question.

Not Wise to Attack the .Itullelur}'. Senator I'latt said it was not wise to attack the judiciary of the United States. It was not wise to charge the judiciary with desiring to usurp power. It was not wise to intimate that judges were czars. It was not wise to talk about the disposition of the judiciary to reduce laborers to the condition of serfs to talk about laborers being chained to their oars. The laboring man had confidence in the courts and he would be protected in all his legal rights. But he (Senator I'latt) did not believe and the laboring man did not believe that while engaged in the employment of' common carriers he could choose his own time to leave that employment.

After further debate the question went over till to-day, when Senator Palmer (111.) will have the UQOI- to speak upon it.

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.

Mr. Cleveland Announces That He Will Call One In September. WASHINGTON", April 11.—President Cleveland said Saturday before leaving the city that he had decided to convene congress in extra session in September, although he might postpone the date until September IS or October 1. lie did not think he should reconsider his determination. His object'is to get a tariff bill under way. Democratic senators are. therefore, making their personal arrangements for a fall session. That is one of the reasons why the senatorial contests are not to be decided at this session.

KII.LKO HIS SJ'Ol-HK.

CHICAGO, April 11.—William Williams, a painter, murdered his wife Monday night by cutting her throat and then committed suicide iu the same manner. Williams had been drinking heavily for the past few weeks and his wife left him. Monday night upon her refusal to return to him Williams killed her and then himself.

Cut Her Throat.

After leaving her husband Mrs. Williams took up her abode with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Moelinct. friends of her youth. She was i8 years old. She had a tall, graceful figure and was handsome. She had formerly been connected with a dramatic troupe and was taking lessons in her art with a down-town instructor preparatory to going 011 the stage again. Williams came to the house at a few minutes past 7 o'clock Monday night and persuaded his wife to come to the door and talk with him. As she emerged from the door Williams made a jump toward her. He seized her around the neclr and drew a keenedged knife three times across her throat. With a scream the woman ran back into the sitting room. The Itoehnets jumped out of the front window, trembling with fright, and their cries aroused the neighbors. Mrs. Iloehnet went back into the house and found Mrs. Williams lying on a sofa. She gurgled out a.request that Mrs. lloehnct fan her. The. latter started to do so, when a smothered cry from Mrs. Williams tore wider apart the ghastly slashes in her throat. A stream of blood burst forth and Mrs. Williams was dead.

Made an Attempt to EHenpe. When his wife staggered back Into the sitting room Williams coolly walked into a shed at the rear of the house and sat down

011

a trunk belonging to his

wife. The cries of the neighbors apparently aroused the murderer. He started out of the shed for the street on a run with the bloody knife still in his hand. Otlicer llagaman. of the West. Chicago avenue station, now appeared and saw the man running. Williams led him a lively chase around the square, dodged through an alley and hid again in the woodshed at the rear of the Boehnct house. When the officer came upon him Williams had fallen upon the floor. As the officer reached the door he pointed his revolver at Williams and ordered him to surrender. Williams looked at the officer, who saw that the lleeing man had cut his own throat. He was not dead, and vainly tried to say something. He still clutched the knife.

Williams Died In the Ambulance. Williams was placed in an ambulance and driven to the county hospital. Hut he died 011 the way. In his pocket was found picture of his wife as a tambourine dancer in her theatrical costume. Neighbors give the dead woman an excellent reputation. She was known to have been in great fear of harm at the hands of her husband and had several times expressed a feeling that terrible trouble was coming. The dead couple leave a -1-year-old son, whom Mrs. Williams had placed in the home for the friendless, paying for his board at that institution out of her scanty earnings as a seamstress. .*
