New YORK, May Special telegram

worthy incident is the determination
Of the Chicago Metal Furniture Works and
lumber y!rd employers to shut down
rather than sccede to what they regard as
unjust demands. A similar spirit is dis.
played at Louisville. The movement of
merchandise at leading cities East and
West has been checked by industrial
troubles Brsdstree.'s telegraphic reports
indicate that
325,009 MEN
have taken part in the short hour move

l5u, 900 have received concessions without
having to strike. Some 35 600 have gain
ed their ends by striking. The outlook for
an early or general clearing away Of in
dustrial disturbance is not bright. New
York stock market was very weak the
first two days Of the week, but
stronger feeling developed aud prices
