May 13.—A general strike involving directly 150.000 machinists and indirectly 500.000 men in metal working trades, is expected to take place on May 20 unless some arrangement is effected in the meantime. This Is the statement made by President James O'Connell of the Interna tiun Association of Machinists, who has his headquarters in this city. The demands of the men, the refusal of which threatens to precipitate the strike. Mr. O'Connell said, are for a workday ox nine hours and an increase of 12 ! m per cent in wages, or in other words 10 hours pay for nine hours' work. The matter, he said, has been under consideration for some time, and every effort has been made by the Machinists' association to avoid resorting to a strike, but such action, he says, is uow necessary if the workingmen hope to attain the end they are striving for. Some time ago, through tlie efforts of the International association, the latter secured from the National Metal Trades association the employers of about 25 per cent of the men who would be affected by the strike, concessions by which a general workday of nine hours was to become ojierative on Muy 20 of this year. The question oi an increase of wages, however, or its equivalent, the granting of lu hours' pay for nine hours' work, remained unsettled. Saturday the representative* of the Metal Trudes association and the International Asss iation of Machinists held a conference in New York, at which an attempt was made to reach an agreement on the wage matter, so that the strike proposed tor May 20 could l>e avoided. Mr. O'Connell, however. says that the employers refused to arbitrate the question of wages nationally, but that they expressed a willingness that this matter should be settled by employers l<s-ally. each individual case to be treat,-d as such. This method is unsatisfactory to the representatives of the machinists' association who express the opinion that this would prolong indefinitely the settlement of the question. I'pon his return to tlie city Mr. O'Connell promptly prepared the order for the strike, ana i, was sent out by mail Bunday. Mr. O'Conuell says that about 200 firms whose employes represent probably 20 [>er cent of (lie 500,000 men who will be affected by the proposed strike have signed agreements for the reduction in hours of labor and the increase of pay. so that the agitation ou the subject already has benefited materially. For prudential reasons the executive evmmitte has determined not at this time to apply the strike order to the railroads. Whether it will be done in the future will depend altogether on developments.

Maine, May 14.—The murders which have startled the rural district* of Maine the past few months are almost overshadowed by a tragedy in this town.

Some ladies might have hugged and kissed me. Certain men have more tact than others.” Biliousness is a condition character ized by a disturbance of the digestive organs.
