Railroad COMPACT.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The managers of all
the railroads centering in Chicago, held q
meeting here yesterday to consider the
strike of the freight handlers. An inter-
change Of ideas eliminated in the adoption
of resolution to the effect that the present
condition of business did not warrant any
advance in the wages now paid to employ
ees; that the roads pledge themselves to act
as a unit in the matter and resist all de-
mands for shorter hours or advance OF
wages, agreeing not to treat individually or
make concessions not approved of by all.
The roads and the managers owed duty
to The public to move whatever freight
was offered, and they would carry out
this duty to the best Of their ability,
calling upon the civil authorities to protect
them if nterfered with by mobs.

The Lockout.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-There has been
no important change in the situation since
yesterday. Probably not more than 6oo
men are actually locked out. Many have
been idlefor some time because of the in
sufficient supply of brick. This is notably
the case-in the construction of the new
Medical Museum building where nothing
has been done for some weeks. Three hum
dred is believed to be q conservative esti-
mate of the number of carpenters actually
locked out. The other three hundred in
cludes all of the other trades. The work
men are sanguine of success and say that
the adoption of the card system by all the
building trades prevents any of the work
men from accepting employment even
under the eight hour rule where there are
"scabs" employed. in any capacity. The
utmost good feeling prevails.

THE LOGICAL RFsULT.-One OF the largest
real estate dealers in Washington says that
several wealthy persons who were arrang-
ing extensive building plans for this summer
have decided TO postpone all operations un
til the present controversy is settled. One
Of the boss plumbers who is resisting the de-
mand for eight hours, in speaking Of the
situation, said "There is no issue between
the men and us 1t is between the men and
the builders the persons who pay for the
building, not the contractors. We knew
this thing was coming, and made prepare
tons accordingly. We made estimates for
work to be done after the Isl Of May at III
increase of 20 per cent.-lor that is what
eight hours means. The builders wouldn't
have it, and, therefore, no contracts have
been made. We couldn't pay the extra 20
per cent and estimate at the old rates for
the builders. while the men work for eight
hours, because there is not 20 per cent. profit
in the work We tried it, and find that the
builders will not pay ten-hour prices Tor
eight hours work. and that settles it. That
is what the bosses mean when they say the
eght.hour rule wont work. The builders
wont stand the increased cost, and will not
have their buildings erected"
