THE LABOR QUESTION.

CHICAGO, May 13-The police department
has just made its official report of the riot in
which the bomb was thrown. The report
gives complete list of the policemen who
were killed and wounded. A recapitulation
shows that 66 were wounded, five of whom
died, and that ten returned to their beats,
leaving 81 who are still laid up with their
wounds.
The position of the lumbermen of this city
is definitely defined by Mr.. Van Setback,
member of their executive committe. "We
will not, +" he says, make any change in our
attitude in the sense of offering any further
concessions to the men. We will set no time
for resuming operations, because we are in
no hurry to resume. We propose to wait
until the men come to us and say that they
are ready to go to work; and if they put that
off too long, it may become a business neces-
sity for us to to ask them to work for some
thing less than the schedule of last year,
which they have not yet seen fit to accept.
'"rhere are three reasons why it is absurd
to ask us to concede to the eight-hour de-
mand. The first is, that only the laborers of
two places in the United States, Chicago and
Milwaukee, make such demand; and to
concede it would be to put ourselves at the
mercy of the Mississippi river and other
markets which, without this advantage,
have in the last five years reduced the trade
of Chicago from 2, 100000 to 1,700, 100000
feet per year. The second reason is, that
trade is naturally drifting away from here;
and the third is, that at last years rates
wages are 25 cents higher here than at COM
peting points
Mr.. Van Setback said that the Indignation
of the lumbermen had been thoroughly
aroused by speech made by Joseph Gruen-
hut at a meeting of the eight-hour committee
Tuesday night Gruenhut is an employe of
the city government. '.,rhe lumbermen re-
gard it as an outrage" said Van Setback,
'sthat the Mayor should continue in office at
time like this man that declares that the
strikers have right to resist the police in
their efforts to preserve order That man is
disgrace to the city, and Mayor Harrison
cannot escape the seyerest censure if he re-
fuses to remove him"
Notwithstanding the firmness of both
sides, it was confidently expected that
settlement of the difficulties would be
reached today. 1t is stated that great num-
bers of the poorer men with families are
anxious to return to work, and that little
opposition will be made by the other

The United States Recoyers s i6,-
$50 In the Suit Against Gen.

court jury in favor of the United States

purposes as are accorded American vessels
in ports of such foreign countries, and or
