Brewery Workers on Strike.

Kansas City, May 14.—Eight hundred brewery workers employed here failed to appear for work, announcing that a strike had been declared. The old contract between the men and the brewtries expired May 1. Since then negotiations for the sighing of a new pact have been conducted. Last week, however, it was apparent that an agreement could not be reached. The strike closed every brewery In the city.
