The Labor Question in Pittsburgh.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May S.-The labor
question in this city has practically set
tied down to the demands of the stone
masons, stone-cutters, cabinent-makers
and bakers. 1t is probable that general
strike of the latter will occur to-day
Their demands are for twelve hours day
light work. Forty of the smaller shops
have conceded the demands. The
journeymen at 120 other bakeries will
probably refuse to go to work in the
morning.
There is a prospect that the furniture
firms will reach an amicable settlement
with the cabinet-makers. 1t is UNDER
stood they will agree to the Eight. Hour
proposition, but will ask readjustment
of wages for piece work.
Two hundred teascrs and mixers en-
ployed in twenty South Side glass-houses
struck yesterday for an advance of ten
per cent. in wages.
Five hundred employees of the bar and
sheet mill departments of Byers' pipe
mill also struck for ten and fifteen per
cent. advance. The difficulty will likely
be settled to-day. Estimates of the num-
bers of men on the strike in the two
cities, place the number at two thou.

The Courts Invoked to Prevent Strikers
Interfering With Peaceable Workmen.
CHICAGO, 7.-Injunctions were secured
by the Calumet Iron & Steel Company, OF
Cummings, a suburb of Chicago, yester.
day against number of its strikers, who
have terrorized the village by interfering
with the workmen employed to take theiI
places.
About seven O'Clock Wednesday even.
ing about two hundred strikers went in
search of the non-union men. All were
found and were scattered in every direc-
ton. Some ran down the Fl. Wayne
tracks, apparently intent on reaching Chi.
cago without a stop. Others were chased
south across the Indiana line, some being
pursued fully five miles. Several were
chased into the slough, where, up to their
necks in water, they were jeered at and
pelted with every available missile. 1t is
said that some of them were kept in the
water until daylight.
After having driven the men out OF
town, the strikers formed a procession,
dragged out a small cannon and marched
around the town for nearly an hour,
stopping at almost every corner to fire a
salute. Superintendent McCloud tele-
graphed to Hyde Park for assistance.
Captain Hunt responded with squad of
police. When the officers reached Cum
mings the excitement had all died out.
They remained at the factory all night,
and were relieved by other details in the

CHICAGO, May 7.-Before eight O'Clock
four passenger trains and several freights
were blocked at Ferty-ninth street, the

the Western Indiana, but the Grand
Trunk, Chicago &, Eastern Illinois, Wa
bash, Louisville, New Albany & Chicago
and the Chicago & Atlantic. The
striking switch tenders, about thir-
ty In number, belong to the Vest
ern Indiana, and demand an increase
of then dollars per month. At all railroad
freight houses more business is being
done to-day than since the strike began.
Great crowds are about the freight
houses, but no trouble is feared.

their acts. The Burlington posts notice

FoRrY-THREE Chicago policemen were
victims of the dynamite assault by the
Socialist mob on the night of the 4th and
the subsequent fighting. Three of the
officers are dead and three others are NOR
tally wounded, while many more will
be incapacitated for long time. II
Is impossible to ascertain the number of
rioters killed and wounded, as many of
them were carried off and cared for by
their comrades. The names of twenty
five are known, but it is thought this num-
Der represents only fraction of the total,
as the firing was at close range, and the
police were for the time being rendered
desperate by the terrible nature of the as
sault upon them.

A MILWAUKEE SENSATION.

Quantity of Dynamite Stolen From Stark
Bros Quarry-Fears For the Safety of the
Reconsideration Measures.
MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, May All sorts OF
rumors as to the disorderly and murder
the air all day. Intense excitement was
caused throughout the city yesterday af-
ternoon by the report-afterward con-
firmed-that large quantity of dynamite
was stolen from Stark Bros quarry.
The explosive was used for blasting pur-
quarry in the morning.
When asked about the occurrence Chief
of Police Bless said he would make no
statement informing the public that the
mob was armed with dynamite. 1t would
only add to the excitement of the hour
and do no good. The public had no pro-
lection against warfare by dynamite.
The authorities sent for the man in
charge of the quarry, and Mayor Walber
and Chief Bless were closeted with him
at headquarters to learn all the facts re-
garding the theft known to him. The
quantity of dynamite stolen is not to be
divulged. Mayor Walber directed, after
the interview, that all valuable books be
removed from the Courthouse to place
of safety. and arrangements were made to
guard the building from attack by
dynamiters.
Several days ago a German paper here
published grossly inflammatory letter
from an Anarchist leader named Simon.
He called upon Socialists and workmen
to organize, arm themselves with guns
and torches and then sack and burn the
courthouse, for the purpose OF Destroy
ing all mortgages and records. Next ne
urged them to sack the banks and de.
plete their vaults After all this had been
accomplished, Simon proposed to organ-
ize an army of Socialists to march upon
Washington and capture the Treasury,
the contents of which were to be distri-
buted among the people. This and sew
eral other communications from Anarch-
lists had much to do, without doubt, in
bringing about the riot.
At late hour Wednesday night con.
siderable number of workmen who had
been forced out of employment by the
Socialists, went to Simonae house, intend.
ing to hang him to lamp-post, but he
had them arrested. Detectives searched
the house, finding four muskets, two re.
volvers and l 100 rounds of ammunition
hid away between the bed ticks. The
family declared there was nothing in the
house, and expressed great surprise when
the weapons were discovered. Frank
Hierth, another Anarchist, has been ar
rested, and on his premises two revolt
vcrs and cartridges, together with
Springfield rife and eighty rounds OF am
muntion were hidden away between the
bed ticks
