wAsHINoros, May 2.--To.morrow u
Il expected will begin the struggle be-
tween tho master builders Of this city and
their journeymcn aud other employees
over the Elght.IIour question. Every
thing points to prolonged deadlock,
which many fear viii almost paralyzc
building operations for the season, as
the dcsertcrs on either side are few. The
classes which unite In the demand for
eight hours include the brlcklayers, car
penters, plasterers, stone-cuttcrs, mar
ble-workcrs, plumbers, painters, timers,
brick.makers, hod.carrlers, blacksmlths
and lcc.drivcrs, embracing In oil nearly
four thousand men, who average a per
diem OF $3.50. The men say they viii
insist on eight hours being considered n
DAVIS work, and II the employers do not
accede 10 their desires they are at perfect
liberty 10 dismiss all the workmen. On
this point the knights Of Labor are deter
mined that no strike shall occur, PREFER
ring that the men shall be locked ont by
the employers. Sir. Il. W. Oyster, the
president Of the Federation OF Labor, says
the men are Armly resolved to In
sist on the reduction OF hours, but
II work Is suspended tomorrow, a3
II probably will be, there VIII be
no violence and no effort 10 obtain
by force what the men expect ns q right
The scheme Is for the men Of every trade
to 40 TO work at half.past seven lo'mor
row morning and work until p. m, nm
less the bosses tell them that they are moi
20 do so with the expectation OF W
wages for the eight hours work. The
master painters have given pnblic nollc'
10 the men that enhours must constitute
a days work at full pay hereafter ~
heretofore, while number OF contract
ors on work already In progress have
notified the men that they Will accede te
the demand for eight hours.

mcnse labor demonstration viii be hel'
In this city to-day, consisting Of mon
stcr parade, followed by grand plcni
at Scheutzen Park, where labor addrcssc
viii be made. 1t Is estimated that 1900
men will be in line, aud while the demon
stratlon Is ostcnsibly In favor Of III
Eight Hour system, yet there Is u
unanlmlty on that particular point by th
D various Knights OF Labor assemblies an
!. labor ORGANIZATIONS. OF course many {
4 the trades will contend for eight hour
but there are many more which viii n'
cept a reduction 10 nine hours, aud as
u the case OF the butchers and brewer
G who now work from fourteen 10 seyGr
q teen hours daily, ten hours viii be aske'
c In fact, the bosses of the butchers an
!, brewers have already virtually agreed
J. concede ten hours q day, at the ol
}, wages, TO the men.
}, The furnlture.workers nj q mee,lr
c yesterday received communications iro
n twenty shops, employing sir hnndr'
J, men, that they would adopt the Eigh

z have asked for eight hours, aud ha'
Q rejected n compromise on nlno hour

e sand can.makcrs win demand eight hour

o mand will probably be granted.
