MEAL Workers Continue Their Strike
More Evidence Against the Arrested
Anarchists.

o., CHICAGO Nay Is.
The box makers made NJ e.forf Monday to
August their differences aith the employers by
proposing 10 return to work at eight hours
Der day and eight hours pay. The manufsc-
turers refused to accep; the terms Things
are now as they were at the outset. but the
ardor OF the strikers has been somewhat
dampened by the united stand of their EN-.
ployers.
The situation among metal makers remain
practically the same and there Is very little
prospect of settlement with the bosses. The
moiders, who have strong organization, are
very obstinate and will not return to work
unless their terms are conceded. Ii is esti-
mated that about 1000 metal workers, includ-
ing molders are in the strike.
Malvin Nj. Thompson, Young grocer.
who was present at the Havmarket meeting
on the night of May 4th says he overheard
August Spies, Schwab and third man HON
he did not know at the time, consulting sb out
the number of dynamite bombs to be thrown
into the ranks OF the police. The three men
were standing into an alley looking from the
east side OF Desplain street. only a few feet
from the wagon on which the speaker stood
Mr.. Thompson overheard Snies say. "Will
one be enough? Had We not better send for
moreT' He could not catch the reply but
Immediately afterward Schwab and the two
men went away together, evidently to procure
something.
Mr.. Thompson has identified Adolph Fis-
cher of the Arbiter Zeitung force as the party
who was consulting with Spies and Schw ab. .
The fact that Fischer and Schwab immed
ately left together and were seen later in the
evening standing near the spot from which
the fatal missile was thrown, gives good
grounds for the belief that both of these fel-
lows know more about the identity of the
bomb-thrOwer than they care to reveal.
ST. LOUIS, May Is.
GA information received at the police
headquarters late tonight the authorities have
called in all the police reserve and taken a
large number of patrolmen from the down
district and sent about 100 men to the brew
cry OF Joseph Schnaider on Chateau avenue,
Missouri and Mississippi avenues, and to
that of Chas. G. Stiefel on the corner OF
West Fourth and Mullanphy streets to guard
them against an apprehended assault. The
precise reason for the movement by the po-
lice Is not known outside of their circles AT
this writing, but there is some sort of trouble,
not clearly understood, between Messrs.
Schnaider and Stated and their employees
and threats are said to have been made or in
timations thrown out that there is to be a
demonstration OF some kind made against the
breweries tonight and the police have been
sent to them as precautionary measure and
to protect them should the assault be made
