At about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
some twenty-five or thirty men who had
been working on street contracts organized
and started out to inaugurate strike among
the men employed on street improvements.
They marched up East Bridge-st and asked
the men working tor Martin 4 Lamoreaux
to join them. Martin & Lamoreaux's men
refused to quit work and the strikers
attempted to force them 10 do so. They
threatened to overturn the wagons and i'm
dulged in considerable loud talk, but dis.
persed when three or four policemen appear
ed on the scene. Their cry was eight hour 5
work with no reduction in wages. Most OF
them have been working for $l25 per day
They had previously visited Aoams-st,
where j. b Mathewson was working twenty
five men; Spring-st. where Adrian Rens EN-
ployed fourteen men; Barclay ST.. where
twenty men were at work for Joel Collins,
and Sixth-st, where A. l.. Livingston en-
plosed fifteen men, without inducing any
of the men to join them, though most of the
contractors suspended operations 10 avoid
trouble. The strikers were mostly men who
had been employed by Charles Prang and
they quit work early in the day.

To he = Failure Because Of the
Socialist Element
ST. Louis. Mo-, May 1.-The great labor
demonstration which was extensively adj
vertised for tonight Was conspicuous as
failure in greatness. but few unions partici-
pating, and only slim gathering being the
result. This was mainly brought about by
the character OF the demonstration rather
than by the lukewarmness of the upionists.
The red flag of socialism was entirely too
prominent as banner for good results or
knights of Labor TO march be-
meath. Not 100 men were in line
and hut few spectators stopped
to show even interest when they saw an
effigy OF Jay Gould hanging from 4 gibbet,
rigged upon the rear of the speaking plat
form. This foolish display, added to tie
red flags, so sisgusted many who had gath
cred to see the workmen of the city that the
quickest way to escape the scene vas best.

about $500 year aud of lawyers $3.50,
while even newspaper men only make
about 500. This is at the rate Of
from $12 to Sl3 50 per week for pro-
