OPPOSED TO INTERFERENCE.
Chicago Furniture Manufacturers
Organize.

CHICAGO, April 2S.-The members Of
the Furniture Manufacturers association Of
Chicago were in full force at meeting held
this evening. 1t was announced that ma
jority of the 5000 employees in the furniture
factories in Chicago have made formal de-
mands for reduction of hours to eight and
after May an advance of 20 per cent. in
wages and no piece work. These matters
were discussed at great length. Many IA
vOred leaving the question of eight hours to
individual firms, each being granted The
option of adopting or not. The following
was passed unanimously:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this asso-
citation that demand of 20 per cent advance
in wages and, after May 1, eight hours labor
cannot be complied with, owing to the state
of the trade and that our factories close on
May If such demands are insisted upon and
remain closed until the matters are adjusted.
1t was agreed that all demands on MEM
bers of the association by their workmen,
and all strikes be referred to the executive
committee and that no shop if closed by a
strike, should be opened except on the ad-
vice and consent of that committee The
association entered into an agreement
whereby each member is pledged not to
allow any interference with his business by
outside parties. 1t was generally under
stood that strike in any direction among
the furniture workers would result in shut
ting down all over the city.

MAKING THEIR DEMANDS.
Chicago Artificers Urging the Eight
Hour Movements,

CHICAGO. April 2S.-Between twenty.
five and thirty brass workers employed in
the architectural department of the Union
brass works on Ohio street, failing to secure
an advance in wages, quit work this morn
ing. They sent in petition first before
going to work, saying that unless their de-
mands were granted they would strike
within two hours. The company refused
to acs favorably from the mems point Of
view and they threw down their tools
and left the premises. In
other departments of the factory some 400
men are employed. A committee from the
men waited upon Supt. Hitchcock and
made it known that after May 1 they de-
sired to work only eight hours day. This
demand Mr.. Hitchcock conceded only until
Friday next, when the president of the
company, j. McGregar Adams, will decide
the matter one way or the other. Mr..
Adams is also president of the Adams Sc
Westlake Manufacturing company on On
before 600 employees there quit
posted up notifying them that commence
niZe eight hours to constitute a days work
and that the scale of wages would be re-
placed prOpOrtiOnatelg. Employees of
HutchinsOn's packing house at the stock
yards made demand to-day for eight hours
work and ten hours pay after May 1. The
superintendent replied that he would only
require an eight hour day and nine hours
pay for month and if at the end Of that
time he found he could make money enough
to justify him he would accede altogether

THE ST. CLOUD CYCLONE.
Predictions Made Concerning 1t b
the Signal Service Bureau.

the Signal Service Bureau.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 2s.-The recent
tornado in Minnesota was predicted roughly
by the signal Office bureau, butno announce
ment made of the fact. 1t is the rule of the
bureau, it seems, not to predict cyclones.
From their nature it is impossible to deter
mine with any degree of accuracy where
they are likely to strike. The weather re-
ports received from over wide
area of country show where diff
ferent temperatures are likely to produce
a disturbance in air masses and originate
dangerous storms, but it is impossible to
say where these storms will strike when
they have developed into cyclones. 1t is
vaguely believed by the most advanced
students of the weather, that the terrific
force of a tornado is not due to air in mo-
ton but to electricity. All the phenomenon
of such cyclone as that at st. Cloud point
to greater force than it is possible to con-
ceive existing in the air alone. Two separate
predictions were made in the signal
Office. On the morning of the
14th of April, the day of the tornado,
Lieut.. Finley, who has charge of the storm
division. predicted cyclones in eastern Da-
kota and northern Iowa. Other observa-
tons predicted cyclones In Kansas and
Iowa. 1t seems
THERE WERE TORNADOES
in Kansas and Iowa, and the eastern Da-
kota prediction may easily be regarded as
applicable to the Minnesota storm. The
signal service bureau has given
great deal of attention to tornadoes
during the past few years and is
very anxious to obtain an accurate and
scientific description of tornado. There
are number ofvolunteers in the Office who
would gladly go through the horrors of
such storm as that at st. Cloud if they
could only know of its coming and be on
hand with an aneroid barometer. The
theory of most is that there is
very heavy pressure of the
atmosphere during the storm, and that
the barometer would go quite low. The most
advanced thinkers ON the subject believe
that exactly the reverse is true, and that the
barometer would show that much of the
damage that is done in the center of the
storm is because of very light pressure.
Some buildings have been known to almost
shake from the force of the air within,
showing that there must have been very
considerable vacuum outside the building.

Mr.. Mitchell then spoke upon the subject
of the memorial submitted by the confer
ence of the New York Methodist Episcopal
church praying for the protection of the
Chinese in the United States. He recited
the statements of the memorial and claimed
that so far as Oregon was concerned that
the statements of the document were an en-
tire misapprehension. He also said that
the idea that the people of the Pa
eific coast were inimical TO the Chinese
government was another miSapprehension.
He criticized the committee on foreign re-
lations for not having yet reported his i'm
migration prohibitory bill and warned SEN
ators on both sides of the chamber that he
would press that bill and that they would
have to come squarely up to the mark and
could not escape the question. The post

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The agricuI-
tural committee reported its bill taxing
oleomargarine to-day. Its provisions have
already been given in these dispatches.
The report accompanying il says the
right of congress to tax any article
is too well established now. and many
arguments sustain this case. 1t is not dis
puted by enemies of the bill. 1t cannot be
claimed that the tax is excessive and beyond
the power of congress, for the power of
taxation is not limited by the actual reve-
nue. necessities of the govern
ment The committee, it saws, has
made a careful and exhaustive study

About half the milk from the cows is used
otherwise than for butter and cheese max
ing, so the product of the cows of the coun-
try is about $500, 000, 900 year. The value
Of the Is, 600, 900 cows few years ago was
$40 each; now it is about $50 each because
of the depression in the dairy business
caused by the manufacture of imitation
butter; thus the loss in the value
of cows has been $50, 600, 900. 1t
asserts that medical authorities agree that
imitation butter is injurious TO the health
and gives long list of articles used in its
manufacture, such as nitric acid, sugar of
lead. sulphate of lime, benzoic acid, butryic
acid. sulphuric acid and glycerine. The
amount of bogus butter made in the coun-
try is estimated at 200, 900, 600 pounds per
year. The large production of this article
is having distressing effect on the dairy
business, and leSsening the demand at home
and abroad. Arguments were made in be-
half of this bill before the agricultural com
mittee of the house to-day.
