General Labor Strike Impending.
CHICAGO. May 4.-There have been ru.
mora for several days past OF an impend.
ing general strike OF tho laborers and mo.
chanics engaged in rebuilding the burned
district on the 18th Of May. At q meeting
Of the various Trades Unions held last

were contemplated. That while q demon.
stration Of workingmen in the shape of a

date mentioned, the object Is simply to
show the strength Of the Trades Unions

have very generally declared their inten.
ton to suspend work entirely rather Than
submit to rise OF wages or reduction Of
the hours Of labor.
