CHICAGO, May SIT Is estimated that
40 900 Of the $4,000 wage workers OF Chi.
cago have already prohted by the eight
hour movement. About $1,000 are sup.
posed to be on strike today. In many
instances, where large bodies OF men are
solldlied under trade movement, long
strikes are ;threatened II the present atti.
tude Of the employers is maintained. The
movement has not yet been attended by
any violence, though in some quarters the
SoCialiatic element has caused seeming
chickering's and disquiet. This is particu.
arly true Of the lumber region and North
Side furniture district. Previous to Satur.
day 900 brewers, as many bakers, 800
furniture workers, 900 clothing cutters,
and 100 tuck pointers had secured a reduC.
!ion Of the working hours. According to
the reports received up to noon by Mr..
George A. sChilling, Chairman OF the
Eight Hour Committee, the demands oil
the following have been satisfied 800 10.

packers, and large number OF workmen
employed In smaller industries. Besides,
the following unions have adopted the
eight hour standard: BriCklayers, Stone.
nasons, Hodcarriers, Plssterers and
Lathers.
Out OF the thirty.seven establishments
wherein iron molders are employed,
twenty-three shops have won, five OF the
drns are resisting the movement and the
remainder are negotiating. The Machin.
lists and BlaCksmiths' Assembly, which is
striking for eight hours, with the ten.
hour wage scales, reports general success
The upholsters are being resisted in nearly
every instance. Thirly.three hundred
briCk-nakers are striking for eight hours
work at ten hours pay. About one.half
OF the 600 butchers in the city have
scored reductions from IL 10 10 hours.
The Shoemakers' Assembly has modified
lts demands to eight hours pay for eight
hours work, and expects TO gain this con.
Cession. The Clerks Union will be salts.
fed with ten hours. Four hundred wagon
workers began work to-day under the
eighthour reform. The marble workers
have also won under the eight.hour day
agreement. The Coopers Assembly is
still standing out for nine hours pay.
