THE CHICAGO SITUATION.

Twenty-Five Thousand Men Cease Work, To
BE Followed by Many More To-day.
CHICAGO, April 30-The Times to morrow,
summarizing the labor situation in Chicago, will
say: twenty-five thousand is fair estimate
of the number of men who quit work yesterday
friday, and walked out of the various shops
and factories in Chicago, because their
employers would not consent to an eight
hour working day and the same wages which
have been paid when ten hours were the rule.
How many will do the same to-day Saturday
is problematical, but the prospects for repeti
tion of the performances of to-day are exceed
ingly brilliant With the furniture people it
was practically general lockout all over the
city. and all the $500 men employed in the
various Chicago factories are to-day idle,
and probably will continue 80 for
some time to come The refusal of
of the men was the result of meeting of last
week, when a manufacturers association was
formed and an executive committee was appoint
ed to take charge of the business of tho various
members 1t was then decided, if the men de-
manded eight hours on yesterday friday, every
factory should shut down, not to be reopened
until this committee should so decide. and upon
terms that that body should dictate
\. the men, This agreement was carried
ohs to the letter, and to-lay every furniture
factory in Chicago, including Brunswick &
Bake and Rothschild Brothers is practically in
the hands of the executive committee of the
Manufacturers Association, and will not be re-
opened until it so decides A somewhat similar
49,
the planning mills and the box fac
tories. No concerted action was had
among the employers until to-day, but all ex-
cept three refused the demands of the men, and
in a meeting afterwards decided to stand by one
another. and not to take their men back except
at the bosses terms. The number of men in this
trade out of employment in consequence
only be approximated but 5000 is a
low figure. With the iron people Che
idea of running only eight hours day could
not be entertained for moment by the larger
concerns with expensive plants, and in conse-
quence all who were waited on refused their
mems demands, and Crane Bros, with 800 en-
ployes, set the example of closing down, and
with the exception of the rolling mills, where no
demands were made and no trouble is antici-.
pated. the majority of the large iron works of
Chicago are to-day closed The railroads
have, with one exception, 80 far escaped
trouble, but their time will come
to-day, and it is feared that when
it does come, its extent cannot be
foretold. The packers will probably escape
without serious trouble The employers are
somewhat disposed to yield in part to the de-
a. A. n
disposed to strike. Still it depends good deal
on what Armour will do Though the interests
named are the most directly affected. every bus
mess in the city is more or less implicated. and
this morning the general unrest among the
workingmen is exactly balanced by the anxiety
among the employers.

The House select COMMITTEE.

ST. LOUIS No., April Gown. Fl. Grain, Of
Texas, of the congressional labor investigating
committee, arrived this morning from Wash
ington, and Immediately proceeded to the
Southern Hotel, where he was met by his col.
leagues and the committee went into executive
session, which lasted the greater part of the
morning. Immediately upon adjournine, Chair
man Curtin handed list OF the names Of the
most prominent men of st. Louis to Sergeants
at-Arms Coombs and requested him to securd
their attendance at meeting to be held this
afternoon. when the taking of testimony will be
begun
1t was afterwards decided by the committee to
see the delegation of citizens, railroad officials
and Knights of Labor separately, and consult
with them in regard to the condition of affairs,
who shall be examined by the committee as to
the best means oe obtaining the information de-
sired. AT about noon a delegation of citizens.
headed by Mayor Francis, and including S. w.
Cobb president of the Merchants Exchange.
and other prominent business men, had an hours
conference with the committee. A few minutes
later Vice president Hoxe. General Su-
perintendent Kerrigan, Superintendents Sibley,
of Sedalia, and Herrin. of Texas, and Judge Por-
tis, general attorney Of the Missouri Pacific sys-
tenn, were invited to the committee room. and
will be followed by a delegation of prominent
Knights of Labor. When these consultations
shall have been terminated the committee will
decide whether it will stop here now and take
testimony. Or whether it will appoint subcom-
mittees to 60 to Sedalia, Kansas City, Atchison,
Fort Worth and other places on the system, and
return here and examine witnesses.
The committee concluded tonight that Sun
day being so near, they would remain over to-
morrow and begin taking testimony. Vice-
president Hoxie will be the first witness, nut
whether his testimony will be taken in full to-
morrow, or whether the day will be divided
between him and prominent representatives OF
the knights of Labor. has not yet been
decided. The committee is also as yet
uncertain whether it will divide now and send
subcommittee west and south, and return and
close the taking of evidence at this point. or re-
main here and finish the ST. Louis testimony,
and then go out the road, but the chances
seem to be in favor of the former plan. The
developments of to morrow will no doubt decide
this question. Mr.. Hoxie has presented list Of
some four hundred witnesses to the committee.
The meetings of the committee will be held ia

Details of Yesterdays Movements.

CHICAGO, April 30.-The Daily News this
morning says: "The supreme officers of the po
lice department have ceased their attempt to
smooth over the fears of the last few weeks re-
garding the labor movement. Their sole idea
now is that the approaching strikes of Saturday
will cause great deal of trouble. It was de-
cided last night to place the entire police force
on reserve early Saturday morning The entire
force will be kept at the stations ready for i'm
mediate duty at moments notice. It is said
that the matter of procuring special policemen
has also been canvassed, and that many hundred
additional men can be pressed into service as
special policemen as soon as any serious out
break should occur"
1--WE are rapidly drifting into state of chaos
said George A Shilling, one of the acknowl-
edged leaders of the eigLt-hour movement this
afternoon, to reporter: Strikes are occurring
by tie half dozen all over the city, and the GEN.
ira. executive which should be the guide and
director of the labor forces has no means of
keeping back or checking them. With view of
bringing order out of this condition of affairs,
waited upon Mr. Brown. president of the Trades
and Labor Assembly, and we resolved to form
central government body, consisting of dele
gates from the Trades Assembly, the Central
Union, the eight-hour committee, and every other
organization involved in this struggle. This
body will meet every night to size up the actions
and movements of the day. Every striko will
be reported and recorded, and general uniform
ity and reciprocity insured"

Carlisle opened the proceedings with a

stand firm in their purpose Of tariff re-

Carolina offered resolution in
structing Mr.. Morrison to renew

manifested however, and as Mr.. Morri-
son expressed desire to be left free to
act in the matter as seemed best to him,
the resolution was finally withdrawn.
Mr.. Morrison then moved that the

On Sunday afternoon a fire caught in
wheat field Of Mr.. r. J. Floyd, stu
ated south Of Savannah, near the Pc.
trero Grande. There was good deal Of
wind astir and the flames spread through
the dry grain on its wings at rapid
pace. The whole population turned out
in alarm, lest the entire country should
be burned over. There were 200 men
engaged for hours in fighting. the fierce
fire and only late in the afternoon was il
subdued. Before this could be accom-
plished 100 acres of grain were destroy.
ed, the loss being not less than 81 900.
and probably is more. Fortunately for
Mr.. Floyd he had insured the grain on
Friday in one of the companies of
Messrs. Kramer 4 Meier of this city.
