LABOR TROUBLES OVER THE COUNTRY

PlTrsBrRG, May lS.-To-day produced
no new developments in the threatened iron
trouble, as neither side made any move
ment toward another conference. Manu-
facturers appear very easy aboutthe matter.
and workmen seem TO feel sure that strike
is inevitable. 81 never saw our men so de-
termined before" said Vice President Nor
gan, Of the Amalgamated Association. 1.-THE
manufacturers proposition has united our
organization, and all talk of dissension is
stopped" A Lawrenceville puddler in
talking of the scale question, says: "a very
important question that was never taken
into consideration in the late conference
was natural gas. Gas has been put in all
the pudding furnaces. 1t is cheaper
than coal, and it does away with fremen
and ash wheelers. Thus you see, money
is saved for the manufacturer, and | think
they could very well afford to pay the pud-
dlers the price asked. A puddlers wages
looks large, but they are not so enormous

MANY BRICKMAKERS STRIKE.
Eight Yards Idle and the Trouble Traced
to Anarchists.

Eight Yards Idle and the Trouble Traced
to Anarchists.
DETROIT May lS.-There is great ex-
citement today in SpringwellS, a suburb of
Detroit, caused by general strike in Is
brickyards. About three hundred brick.
makers marched from yard to yard, forcing
the others to quit work. The trouble arose
out of numerous meetings held by the Social.
lists and Anarchists and thus far no formal
demand for an increase of wages has been
made so that the trouble seems uncalled
for. The Sheriff will be asked to send
posse of men to the scene Of disturbance.
At last accounts it was reported that the
strikers intended 70 close the Michigan Cen
tral car shops ana Michigan car works.
This afternoon has been quiet in Spring
wells. Claims Of strikers are taking def
nate shape. They assert that they are
obliged to work from O. m, to p. m,
twenty days in the month at a rate of pay
ranging thirty-two to thirty-six dollars, and
that every rainy day when no work can be
done, proportionate sum is taken out OF
their wages. On the other hand, some of
the bosses claim that the thirty-two to
thirty-six dollars per month does not in
cIude house rent, which is thrown in gratis.
The men deny that house rent is given
them, and want their pay rain or shine. The
citizens of Springwells are said to
sympathize with the strikers. During the
trouble this morning, the son Of Mr.. Wolf,
proprietor of one of the brickyards, was
severely beaten by two of the strikers, for
whose arrest warrants have been issued. 1t
is stated that the men will prevent all work
about the yards tomorrow. Arrangements
have been made to quell any disturbance
that may arise tonight. The brickmakers
at meeting decided to employ no more
men until the troubles are settled, so that
the chief causes Of the riot is removed.

BURTON AND cuNNlNeHAMs PROTEST

LoSpoN, May ls.-The news oilthe Cars
having presented swords Of honor to Gen
eral Komaroa and General Zakrjewaki has
created the uneasy feeling in Europe that
the present peace is only an armistice, and
that the arbitration proceedings are the
mercst mockery. The Daily News in com
mentinG on the Afghan papers presented in
Parliament says that: They show tha.
the seizure Of Penjdeh had long been .
foregone conclusion. II is difficult 10 be.
reve that the Russ ans vze ever in earnest
about q joint commission. The disclosures
Justify us in making the Indian frontier
impregnable." The Times says: I'VE
ought to ignore all Russian promises and
pledges and play our own game" The
standard says: THE keynote Of the whole
question is the contrast between Russia's
barefaced dupheity. and the weakness Of
the English Government now rising in i'm.
portant protest, now sinking into meek sub.
mission
The St. Petersburg papers print an arti-
Gle ~ Averkitf, the Slovophile writer, de-
clarinp the absolute necessity OF Russia
selling Herat, otherwise the English VIII,
and Persia will thereby become an English
instead ola Russian vassai. Soon, he SAYS,
nominally Persinn but really English feet
will dominate the Caspian. lie continues:
England would build a railway from ludia
to Herat and through Persia to the southern
coast Of the Caspian Sea, and the trans.Cas.
plan territory would become territory aE
iordipg facilities to only the English trade"
The Russian Government has been an.
noyed by recent articles in Finnish indepen-
dent papers, which reveal a strong animus
against Russia. The Russian Government
has reprimmaned them through the Official
journal of Finland, and has threatened to
increase the severity Of censorship.
There is considerable excitement here
over the publication Of dispatch form Con-

In talk with several members OF the
committee representing the Amalgamated
Association for the steel workers, we were
informed that the Bellaire Nail Works has
never given any reason for refusing a con
ference with the regular committee. As to
the report that the mill wonld confer with
any other committee, there is no truth, al
least as far as the gentlemen comprising
the present committee are advised. They
have been refused an audi.
ence for no given reason, and
the mill has asked for nothing in the shape
of another set OF men TO talk with. The
reasons for kicking should be given by the
Bellaire Nail Works and if they are proper
and consistent ones, the Amalgamation,
which desires to do justice TO all, will gladly
do the proper thing AS long as mum is
the action of the mill Board, Nothing can
be done as regards settlement. If long
lockout is what it comes to it means sudsr-
ing for the little stockholders, such as many
OF them cannot bear.
