LoaDoH, July a1.lThe processlon Of the
trades unions nd others who took part In
the demonstration In favor OF the franchise
bill was an immense affair. One hundred
thousand men manhed in procession with :
decorum rising to dignity. Each section up
on arriving at Hyde park, marched to the
platform assigned to Il, and the band played
until the chairman arrived A tDmhstone
was carried In the procession inscribed, ITO
the Memory Of the House Of Lords, 1884. !"
The dense masses along the route interfered
with the progress of the procession. It took
fully an hour and half to clear the embank-
ment and the end Of the procession had not
left parliament when the head had entered
the park. AS the procession started from the
embankment several loud explosions were
heard near the government Office. The crowd
was greatly frightened and thousands made
a rush toward Whitehall, believing that the
explosions were due to dynamite. The
scare ended when it was found that the ex-
plosions were nothing more than salute
which the Horse Guards were firing inhonor
Of the birth Of the duchess OF Albany's son.
The Marquis of Salsburyss residence, in Ar
lington street, was guarded by the police. A
slight cOmmotiOn was created there before
the arrival of the procession by man crying
ssDown with the Peersp' Order was soon
restored, however, and no disturbance oc-
Cured while the procession was passing.
New YORK, July M.-Ab0ut two thousand
bricklayers, three thousand laborers and two
hundred od-hoisting engineers and trainers
struck work this morning because their en-
ptoyers refused to grant their demands that
nine hours shall constitute days work, In
stead OF ten. the employers who denied
this request say that the can get other men to
take their places, and whether they can or
not it will be but few days when these men
will be willing to return to work under their
terms. The bosses who have granted the
nine hours demand think that the others are
foolish, as they will have to yield in the end.
AS fast as the men struck they reported at
the headquarters of their respective unions.
About thirty five employers allowed the men
to go to work on their own terms. Hugh
Malone, who has charge of the erection Of
the new Exchange, says: ''I'he building
trades are very lively. do not think the
boss builders can afford to have the men go
on strike for any length of time without
suffering very great loss. Nearly all large
builders will grant the demand. The strikers
claim that they can stand it longer than the
employers can, and will hold out six months
It is reported that on many of the jobs the
men were not out over ten minutes before
they were told to go to work again.
A large number of bosses held out till noon
and then Welded, thus leaving not over 1900
men on strike.
