CHICAGO, April 3O.-The Times to-
morrow, summarizing the situation, will
say; Twenty-Five thousand is the fairest
estimate of the number of men who
quit work yesterday friday and went
out of the various shops and factories
in Chicago because employers would not
consent to an eight hour working day
with ten hours pay. How many will do
the same to-day Saturday is problem
atical, but the prospect for a repetition
of Yesterdays performance is exceeding
ly brilliant. The trades most affected are
furniture manufacturers, and the timber
interests ia all their numerous ramifca-
tions. 1t was practically general
lockout over the city, and all of 1900
men employed in the various Chicago
factories are to-day idle, and will prob
ably continue so for some time to come.
The refusal OF the manufacturers to
grant the demands was the result of q
meeting last week, when Manufacture
ers' Association was formed and an ex-
ecutive committee was appointed 20 take
charge Of the business Of the various
members. 1t was then decided ii the
men demanded eight hours, on Friday
every factory should close down until
this committee should decide to open
them, and upon terms that that body
should dictate to the men. This agree
ment was carried ont to the letter, and
to-day every furniture factory in Chicago
is practically in the hands of the execu-
tive committee. A somewhat similar
situation exists in the lumber trade. in
Guiding the planning mills and box factor
ies No concerted action was had by
the employees until Friday, but all ex-
cept three refused the demands Of the
men, and in a meeting afterwards
decided to stand by one another, and
not take their men back except at
bosses terms. The number of men in
this trade out Of employment in conse-
quence. cannot be Appropriated, but
5000 is a low figure. With iron people
the idea of only running eight hours
could not be entertained for moment
by the larger concerns with expensive
plants, and in consequence, all who were
waited on refused the mems demand,
and with the exception of the rolling
mills, where no trouble is anticipated, a
majority Of the large iron works of
Chicago were closed.
Railroads. with one exception, escaped
trouble. but their time will come to-day,
and it is feared that its extent cannot be
foretold. The packers will probably es-
cape without serious trouble. as the en-
ployers are somewhat disposed to yield
in part, while the men are not anxious
to strike. 1t depends good deal on
what Armour will do. Every business
in the city is more or less implicated.
and general unrest among working
men is exactly balanced by the anxiety
among employers.

CHICAGO, April s0.-The freight
handlers on the Burlington and Alton
roads have stopped work, owing to the
refusal to accede to the demand for eight
hours. As soon as freight now on hand
is cleared up the houses are to be closed.
This afternoon $50 employees Of the
Union Brass Manufacturing Company
quit work; they demanded eight hours
work and eight hours pay, which the
Company refused.
All the plumbing shops in the city
have conceded eight hours work for nine
hours pay.
The proprietors Of every one Of the
ninety three lumber yards in Chicago re.
ceived to-day circular from the Lum.
bermens' Association demanding sub.
stantially ten hours pay for eight hours
work, commencing May Sd. A meeting
was at once called, at which eighty-four
firms were represented. All of them
expressed surprise at not having had
any intimation of the movement. A
committee was appointed to meet daily.
and endeavor to settle the problem by
mutual concession. According to state
ments by the chairman of the commit
tee general strike in the lumber yards
would involve at least twenty thousand
men.
The employees Of R. E. Rhole and
William Clifford. furniture manufactur-
ers, lis men in all, struck to-day for
eight hours work and ten hours pay
One hundred and forty sewing machine
makers of the June Manufacturing Com
pany also struck on similar demand.
The Excelsior Iron Works and the Link
Belt Manufacturing Company, employ.
ing three hundred men, will shut down
tomorrow indefinitely, owing to the
condition of the labor situation.

This evening Mr.. Barrett will appear
as Yorick, in w. D. Howell's tragedy Of
Yorick's Love. The time of the play is
in the days of Shakespeare; the plot is
a very strong but simple one. Yorick,
the comedian of the Globe Theatre, is
married to Mistress Alice, the leading
lady of the same playhouse, who is a
very beautiful woman and much his
junior. His foster son, Edmund. also
an actor, who owes everything in life to
Yorick, falls in love with Alice, who re-
turns that affection. Walton, the lead
ing actor Of the Globe, discovers their
love, and being jealous of Yorick profes.
sionally, concludes to acquaint him with
the state OF affairs. Master Haywood. the
manager of the theatre, also has noticed
that the two have fallen in love, and
endeavors to keep the knowledge from
Yoriek. Master Woodford has written
play in which the chief characters
are a loving husband, faithless wife
and an ungrateful ward. These char
acters are taken by Yorick, Mistress
Alice and Master Edmund, and gradu-
ally the truth is unfolded until the end
of the play. The last act is on the
stage of the Globe Theatre, and during
the scene Walton hands Yorick letter
written by Edmund to Alice. Yorick
becomes infuriated, and in the fencing
scene actually kills Edmund.

Efght-Hour system.

ElKht-Hour System-
New YORK, April 30.--The Tribune
this morning says that it is hardly ex-
peetsd that the short-hour movement
will cause many strikes or lock-onts just
at present. 1t is the general feeling
among leading members of the various
organizations that in the present state Of
public opinion in regard to strikes, il
would be folly to try to accomplish any
thing through their medium, and in most
cases when an amicable arrangement
cannot be made between employers and
men the matter will be held In allegiance.
Much has been accomplished within the
last month in the way of shortening
of hours OF labor. In all of the building
trades, which are most perfectly organ
lied, an agreement has been entered
into between the men and bosses making
nine hours days work and eight hours
on Saturday. The system of payment
by the hour instead OF by the day has
also been introduced. In these trades
there will certainly not be trouble. The
trades which have asked for shorter
hours are tailors, who ask for eight, nine
and ten hours in different shops; bakers,
who ask for eleven hours; various
kinds Of machinists aud iron work.
ers, who wish to work nine
hours day, while wood workers
such as piano makers, furniture and
cabinet makers, wood carvers and up
holsterers have demanded eight hours
for days work. These demands have
been formulated for some time. In
many cases where change will mol
make any great difference in trade the
demands have been complied with, and
the new rule will go into effect on Mon
day. The trade in which trouble is
most likely to take place is the piano
making industry. The Executive Com,
mittee Of the United Piano Makers
Union has visited all of the manufactur
ers and made request for eight hours,
and some Of them have granted the re
quest conditionally, but the larger man
ufacturers declare that if the request il
persisted in they will shut down then

The President says IL is Not a
Port of Entry.

FORT OF EntEE.
WAsHINGToN, April 30.--The Presi-
dent to-day vetoed the bill to make
Omaha port of entry. In his message
the President gives as his reasons for de.
clining to approve the bill that Omaha
was named in the act of June 10. 1880,
as one of the places to which imported
merchandise might be Immediately
shipped after entry at the port Of ar
rival. That proviso Of that act de.
clared that its provisions should not ex-
tend to any places at which there are
not the necessary officers for the ap-
praisement Of merchandise and the
collection of the duties. The act was
withheld by the Treasury Department
because there was not any such officers
there, and therefore the legislation pro-
posed would not become operative. The
privileges were still subject to the pro-
viso to the law of 1869, and such newly
granted privileges would be liable to
Immediate withdrawal by the Secretary
Of the Treasury. He cannot see there
lore, ne says tnat any thinB - eaineu W
this legislation. If circumstances should
warrant such course, he says, the
authority which withholds such priv
ileges can confer the same without the
aid of q new statute. This proposition
is sustained by an opinion of the Attor.
ney General, dated February, 1885. The
design of the bill, the President says, is
to restore to the city any privileges per.
mitted by the law of 1880. 1t seems
| to be entirely unnecessary since
the power Of such resolution is Aov
| fully vested in the Treasury department
| If the object sought is to bestow sucl
privileges entirely free from the opera
ton Of the proviso, the language of thu
bill does not accomplish the result. Thu
government has not now at Omoha thu
necessary officers for the appraisment o
merchandise and the collection Of duties
which by such proviso are necessary il
order to secure to any place the advanta
ges of immediate transportation. Ii

Disturbing Element.
PIrrsBUReH, April 30. The Commer-
cial Gazette will publish circular which
it is claimed has been sent to the leaders
of various labor organizations through
out the country. 1t is signed by 2. j.

Brotherhood of Carpenters; A. Strasser,
President OF the Cigar Makers Interna-
tional Union; Josiah Dyer, General Sec
Rotary of the Grahite Workers Interna-
tional Union; Ii ]. Fitzpatrick, Presi-
dent of the Iron holders Union of
North America; w. II. Foster, Secretary
of the Federation Of Trades of North
America. The circular is dated April
Goth and calls for a conference at an
early date, suggesting May 18th, at
Philadelphia, Of the executive officers of
all nationa. and International trades
unions Of the country, and says that the
object Of the conference Is to devise
ways and means to protect
our respective organizations from the
malicious work of an element which
openly boasts that the trades-unicns
must be destroyed. This element urges
our local unions ito disband. and it is
doing an incalcuable mischief by arous-
ing antoganism and dissension in the
labor movement under the cover Of the
Knights Of Labor: and as far as we can
learn without authority from that body.
This element pursues its evil work and
rats" and "scabs," and unfair EN-
ployers are backed up by this
element, suspended and expelled
members of trades unions are welcomed
into their ranks, and this element uses
the Knights OF Labor as an instrument
through which to vent their spite against
the trades unions. That this has been
the case can be amply demonstrated by
the Cigar Makers and Typographical
international Unions. Other trades un-
ions have been more or less affected.
The circular adds that some plan should
be agreed ON to prevail on the general
officers of the Knights of Labor to cease
their hostility to trades unions. The
document is sent to the leading officers
