No attemp TO resume operations on
the west side of the lumber district was
made this morning. From 5000 to 10000
men employed in the yards of the plan
ing mills are idle. The yards in the
north and south divisions of the city
and the planning mills have all fully
resumed on basis of 10 hours work and
pay, so that the lumber business of the
city is in reality only lightly affected.
The metal working establishments
opened up again this morning with a
larger working force than yesterday
The prOprietors expect to see all the
men on duty again within few days.
As class the furniture workers consti-
tute the only one which is holding out
for eight hours. The boot and shoe
manufacturers who tried eight hours a
day as an experiment are considering
the advisability of returning to ten
hours.

sent to Congress to-day message call

the speedy enactment of such legisla-
ton as will authorize the assembling of
the Legislature at an early day.
