General Lock Ont.

WASHINGTON, May "A very general lock
out began here to-day against the eight hour
demands of the unions of the brick layers,
hod carriers, stone cutters stone rubbers
painters, plumbers and carpenters, number
ing in the aggregate over 1000 men. The
demands have been complied with in some
instances, and negotiations looking to the
adjustments of the difficulties are under way
in several others. There has been no dis
turbance of the peace and none is threatened
in any quarter.
Only those employed in what are known
as the building trades engaged in the
present controversy. Early this morning
delegations from the different assemblies ap-
peared at the railway depots for the purpose
of intercepting any "scabs" from neighbor
ing cities who might arrive. None were
found, however. 1t is the policy OF the
leaders to keep the men off the street and at
home, and in consequence but few workmen
are to be seen. Everything is quiet and or
derby, and no loud talk is to be heard, even
at headquarters. District Master Workman
Hobbs said this morning: There are not
half as many men locked out as was estimat-
ed on Saturday. Many OF the bosses
have conceded the eight hours and many
more would if they were not forced 10 hold
out by master builders who threaten to boy
colt these sub-contractors by not taking esti-
mates for work from any of them who refuse
TO stand by them IN their resistance to the
eight hour movement" Mr. Hobbs estimates
the number locked out ae from 1000 to l.
200 A committeeon 'amalgamatlon of trades
unions, met this morning and perfecd scheme
for uniting all the building trades. The
committee was appointed by the District
Assembly, Knights OF Labor. The commit
tee mutually pledged their different organ
izations to stand firmly together. The
working card system was adopted. Some
of the employers whose men are at work
TO day assert that they are working ten
he urs, but as a rule where work is in progress
il is under the eight hour system

st. Louis Matters.

ST, Louis, May a.-MagtlR Irons ssEiYed
In this city this morning from the west and
was asked what truth there was IN the state
ment made by G. X. Verbech, of Chicago, to
the effect that he Qrons) had been expelled
from among the Knights OF Labor. He re-
piled that there was absolutely no truth in
the report; that perfect harmony existed be-
Otween all the officers of the der; and that
so far as he knew there is not, nor ever has
been, any such man as Verbech upon any
of the committees of the knights of Labor.
Q Chairman Curtin, of the Congressional La
Dor Investigating Committee, busted himself
during greater part of yesterday in the at
tempt to end the Gould Southwest system
strike. He held conference, which lasted
from noon until late in the afternoon, with
the members of the General Executive Com
mittee of the knights of Labor, and after
ward called upon Mr.. Hoxie, Vice President
of the Missouri Pacific Railroad ComDsny.
He then returned to the hotel and conferred
a second time with the Knights of Labor. The
result of all this comforting can not be pos
itively known, hut it is confidently ex-
pected that the outcome Will be an end of
the strife during the next thirty-six hours.

CINCINNATI, May 3.-There is not much

freight-handlers at the Cincinnati, Hamilton

adv,nc of thirty cents dav. AT other

Other furniture factory come out lO day.
Workers in furniture and carriage factories

oring establishments, in the neighbor-
hood of Division and Sedgewick
streets and marched through the
thoroughfares thereabouts, proclaiming
their allegiance to the new system. They
all demand eight hours work with an in
crease of pay. The girls are principally en-
ployed as stitchers. They marched around
to the various tailor shops, seeking
recruits, and secured a good many, but
some of their fellow workers refused
to join the parade. Fair vigilance
committees were appointed to watch the
street corners and seek proselytes., At noon
about 100 men employed in the shops went
out with the girls. Five hundred men duti-
fully followed in their wake, marching two
by two. Above the heads of the procession
lists waved the stars and stripes and banners
bearing such notices as "Hurrah for
Eight Hours a Day." etc. In front
of the column marched two gigantic
Bohemians, one carrying an immense mallet
and the other an ak. The girls seemed half
crazed with excitement, and moved along,
some half dancing other singing out, all
giving vent to their enthusiasm by some
species of outward demonstration, Their
numbers increased to nearly a thousand as
the procession moved from one shop to ar.
other, the girls entering with the BJ-
hemian axmen at their head, and in
every instance threatened to demolish
machines and wreck dire vengeance on the
heads Of the employees if they didn't drop
their needles and turn out and Join in the
parade. Thirty shops were emptied
of their hands. reporter was
informed by three or four of the employees
that as soon as they saw the immense
procession approached their establishment
they told they hands to turn out, and
shut down their shops in fear OF riot. about
O'Clock part of the procession reformed,
came out to the south side and headed by
brass band, paraded the principal streets.
The following despatch was sent tonight
to John Swinton, New York:

i
Martin County Sentinel: Hon. j.
B. Wakefield has officially announced
that he will not be a candidate for re-
election. The reason he gives for his
course is an affection of the heart which,
he fears, would not permit him to safely
enter into a warmly contested cam
paign. MI. Wakefield has many adj
miring friends throughout South
western Minnesota who will regret the
circumstances that will deprive the dis
trict of his services. It is but fair to
say that his vote in Congress has al
ways been on the side of the people.
He has pursued straightforward in
dependent course and has fearlessly
stepped out of party traces when by so
doing ne thought he could best serve
his constituency. He has brought cred
it rather than reproach upon the dis
trict and it will not be strange if there
are goodly number who will still in
sist that he continue to serve the peo-
pie he has for four years so faithfully
represented.

Pioneer Press:-The SIGNAL serv;c

Pioneer Press: The signal service is
investigating the late tornado in Mime
sofa. 1t is very likely that the report
will be interesting, and that it will lack
the important feature Of suggesting a
defense from the visitations of the hor-
rible tunnels. It might be suggested
that if each community would keep on
hand a good piece of artillery and a
supply Of shells funnel could be dissi-
pated at distance by a good artillery
man if he would cut his fuse to explode
the shell directly within the funnel. A
sharp explosion of two or three shells
would destroy the vitality Of the funnel.
Waterspouts can be 50 dissipated, and
the same counter explosion would
break up cloud funnel.

House is watched with some interest,
as they are not all supposed to be in

whether he will vote for the bill or not.
His answer to inquiries in regard to the

men White and Nelson are regarded as
ready to vote for the bill if it is consid-
cred. Maj. Strait says nothing more

The Marshall Nee0s-Messeeger, an ar

for Congress, says regarding Mr.. Lind's
candidacy:
Mr.. Lind comes into the canvass
after many of his friends had been in
formed by him that he would not be a
candidate, as his aspirations were in
the line Of the legal profession. With
these conditions in mind, we think Mr..
Lind makes mistake in asking this
people to accept him as their represen-
tative in congress, and in entering the
canvass at moment when division
OF sentiment may defeat the selection
OF candidate from this portion Of the
district.

The Word Boycott.

The latc labor troubles have as
yet. 30 far as known, created no
odd word or new phrsse, but one
word of comparatively recent
manufacture has passed current
everywhere. 1t has become as
well known, rs much used here as
| ia Ireland, its native land. The
word is boycott. A number of
inquiries have been received DUR
ing the past few days asking the
Inter- Ocean to explain its origin
and meaning. The story of crca-
ton, is briefly, as follows:
Some six years or so ago man
named Captain Boycott was the
factor or agent of a land owner in
Ireland. BY his course and poll
cy Boycott came to be offensive
to the tenantry, and SO greatly
was he disliked that the tenants
petitioned the proprietor to re-
move him. This, however, that
person would not do. Consc-
quently the tenants aud their
friends refused to work for Boy
colt or under his instructions -
The situation did not at first seem
to be serious, but when the crops
were to he harvested the people
would not touch them, and this
feeling spread among all their ac-
quaintsnces 20 that no one could
be found who would assist or
work in the harvest that year. The
crops were in great danger, when
some men from Ulster, under the
protection of troops, did the work
for Boycott. But il did not end
there. The tenants had formed a
strong fraternity among them
selves, and before the contest had
progressed great way 1urtncr
their league WAS shown. An idea
may be gained of the thorough
ness and extent of their organiza-
ton by these instances. II was
agreed that If anyone had any
dexl,spy wita Boyeott Or those
who represented him, then no one
was to have any dealings with
that person or If q man worked
for Boycott. hia own friends and
neighbors refused to recognize,
speak to, or have anything to do
with him no one would buy of
him or sell to him, and he was to
be looked upon and treated rs a
total stranger.
