ESPECIAL TO THE sENTIyEL.l
An Unsuccessful strike.
ST. LOUIS, April 26.-Two hundred
striking employees Of the Missouri Car n
Foundry Company held a meeting yester-
day to hear the report of their committee
appointed the day before to call upon
President Mcmillan and persuade him to
concede to their demands that the com
pany cease furnishing repair materials to
the Missouri Pacific. The committee stated
they had called upon Mcmillan, but could
not obtain any assurance from him that
their demands would be complied with.
The meeting then adopted resolutions, set
ting forth their reasons for striking, and
they would not return to work until the
demands were conceded. All the strikers,
however, we're not present, and those alb.
sent, not being bound by the action OF the
meeting, returned to their old places at
work this morning. Several new men also
| applied for places, and there was at work
about 200 men in all. President Mo
MILAN saws that the management OF the
mpa will take back all old employees
who apply for work to-day, and will en-
ploy all efficient new men who desire to
enter the company's service. He says the
works will be in full operation by the end
Of the week.
Labor Troubles on the Atlantic
Coast.
NEW YORK, April 2~6.-Inquiry among
the leading real estate men shows that
rents for all classes Of property for living
purposes nave been reduced form 10 to %
per cent. The strikers and labor troubles
in the building trade are preventing the
commencement Of many new buildings. 1t
is thought this will cause an increase in
rents next season. The effect Of the labor
trouble upon the building trade in the
city can hardly be estimated. Il is de-
clsred that building in this city will be
| practically suspended this Summer on this
account. The same story comes from Bos-
ton.
On Saturday eight hours will be &C.
cepted as q days labor. 1t is probable en-
| ployes will decline to yield any point in
their demands. and that they will resort to
a strike. Painters and decorators so voted
yesterday.
The strike on the Third Avenue Surface
railroad still continues unchanged. Sixty
cars are running to-day.
The brotherhood or Engineers.
HARTFORD, Conn, April 26.-Since last
evening every train brought locomotive
engineers from all the New England States,
| New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
| - Ala. IL O-a1sol t~.:ra nor 49, avnr
various roads of this State to-day to &C.
commodate those who could not get here
last night. and at 10 A. NJ, when the SEES
sion of the international Brotherhood OF
| Locomotive Engineers was called to order
in Allyn Hall by Chief Arthur 800 engineers
were present. What was done at the
meeting could not be learned. Chief
Arthur, when approached, was non-com'
municative regarding the attitude OF the
Brotherhood toward the strike in the
Southwest. 1t is learned on good author
ity that the assembly passed a vote, sug'
tanning Chief Arthur's coprse.
Jay Geasa interviewed.
New YORK, April 26.-Jay Gould was
called upon at his home by a reporter this
afternoon. In reply to inquiries concern
ing the present condition of affairs in the
Southwest, Gould said: at is so quiet
we hardly know there has been a strike
Gould was asked what he thought of the
threats made against the Wabash system
in the event OF his obtaining control at the
sale this afternoon. He replied: "The
Wabash employs hardly n Knights OF
Labor. A reorganization was made after
the August strikes. In regard to the
Wabash it will be sold this afternoon under
a foreclosure, and will be bought in by the
bondholders. A majority of them are in
Scotland and England, and the rest are
widely scattered throughout this country"
A Days Labor and Wages.
ST.. LOUIS, April 26.-The master plas-
terers of this city have agreed to put the
eight-hour system into effect May /, and
pay men So rs per day. The old rate was
81 so for 10 hours. The new rate is really
an advance OF Is cents per day. Journey
men are expected to acaApt the plan, and
no trouble is ap~prehended.
The movement among the stove mold
ers for an advance Of Is per cent In wages
will no doubt result in arbitration between
the Molders Union and the stove COM
panies and establish a new scale of prices,
both sides being entirely willing. and, in
fact, anxious to make such an arrange
ment, and definitely settle the matter of
wages in q name satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
