Labor Riots in Chicago.
CHICAGO, April 2Oth.-The eight-hour Law goes
into effect tomorrow, and the Working sael's So
ciety is preparing for a grand display. wsts pro-
cessions, and speeches by Governor Oglesby sna
Others. The m 20 of the workingmen is eirhs
hours labor and nine hours pay. Most OF The
railroads have notified the;r employees that they
will be paid by the hour. Many large employing
firms declare that laborers must work "a long as
required, and will not pay full days wages for
eight hours work. The prospect il that there will
be a serious disarrangement in the relations OF
trade tor some time. Some workingmen ins1bt on
old rates for reduced time. Employers almost
unanimously refuse to pay at before. The result il
awaited with much anxiety on adj sides, not only
in Illinois, but in other States.
CHICAGO, May lst-The w~orkiHgmenis demon
stration to-day. in honor Of the commencement of
the operation of the eight hour law, was the largest
display ever witnessed in Chicago. The number
in the procession is estimated at 20. ee0 to 80, ZOO,
representing nearly every department of labor. 4
great many workingn,en hold aloof, apprehensive
that the working of the law would not be advan-
tageous to the working classes. More than half
the shops of all kinds in the city were closed, the
employers refusing to accede to. the demands OF
the workmen. Whatever the ultimate result may
be, it seems probable that the immediate effect of
the law will be mischievous. and cause trouble be
tween employers and laborers. Similar demon
STATIONS occurred in most of the principal cities
throughout the State, the workmen marching with
banners and devices, expressing q determination
that the law should be observed.
There was q large demonstration in st. Louis,
and the meeting nominated Gov. Oglesby, of ILL
nois. as the w~orkingmen's candidate for President.
CHICAGO, May 2d.-Great excitement prevailed
in the city to-day. A mob of 500 cight-hour men
were endeavoring by violence to prevent the
workmen in the various lumber yards, railroad
shops and other manufacturing establishments,
from going to work under the ten-bour system
The mob raided throughout the west division of
the city early this morning, ~summarily closing
shops, mills. &c, and ejecting men who were about
going to work. The police encountered the mob,
but were too weak to ~disperse them, and finally
prevented the demolition of the Fort Wayne road
freight house. The police concentrated in force in
various parts of the city tonight, ready for action
at a moments emergency. 1t is not probable that
any violence or demonstration will be attempted
tonight, though the rioters went off threatening
further violence.
CHICAGO, May 3d.-A ere this forenoon. destroy
ed the Merchants Hotel. Crosby's splendid Opera
House adjoining was in imminent danger, but was
saved by the strenuous exertions of the srenaen.
Rioting commenced in the south and west divis-
ions of the city this morning. 1t is difficult TO OBJ
tain correct reports. 1t is rumored that two or
three men were killed.
There was considering riOting to-day. The work
men were driven ont of several establishments by
a mob. A strong force of police succeeded I'm re-
storing quiet. Many leaders have been arrested.
1t is believed there will be no further demonstra-
tons.
CHICAGO, May 4th.-Another destructive fire oc-
Cured last night. There are some aniicipations of
more riotous demonstrations to-day. The Times is
very indignant on account Of the feeble action Of
the city authorities. Certain railroad officers have
letters threatening their lives unless they
agree to the eight-hour system. They refuse to
make any compromise with the strikers. Ii Is said
summary measures will be adopted to-day If the
riots break out anew.
CHICAGO, May 4th-Evcning.-There. has been
no rioting to-day. Squads OF police were stationed
at various manufacturing establishments through
the city where trouble was expected. No mob
appeared. A large elevator was fired this morning
and totally destroyed; The fire was undoubtedly
the work Of an incendiary, and is Supposed to be
one Of the strikers. The loss is about S250,000.
The elevator burned was nearly empty, but it adj

Chicago, May 5th-Another incendiary fire oc-
Cured at IL O'Clock last night. A machine shop
and foundry on Adams street were totally con-
snmed. Loss, G,000. 1t was undoubtedly the
work Of some Disconnected laborers- The Mayor
Of the city has issued two proclamations, warning
he citizens to keep the peace. The great body OF
the wOrkingmen deprecate the course of the rioters.
CHICAGO, May Sth-Little change is reported in
