CHICAGO, Ills, April 13-The employees of
the several breweries of this city went out on
strike Thursday. 1t is not a question of
wages, but of rights. The proprietors insist

bers of the union or not, and the union in
sists that none but members of their organi-
cations shall be employed. The proprietors
declare that they will fight it OUT on their
line "if it takes all summer" The strikers
number in all less than thousand, and the
employing brewers express confidence of
their ability to get along without them.

PROGRAMME OF THE HOUSE.
Mills Tariff Bill To BE the Order of the
DaY Tuesday Next.

Day Autsudy neat
WASHINGTON CITY, April 13.--An at
tempt will be made in the house Monday to
pass the river and harbor bill under suspen-
sion of the rules. The speaker has agreed to
recognize Blanchard to make the motion
The matter was considered by the leaders of
the party, and it was concluded that this
would be the safest plan to be followed, as
Abe chances of the appropriations being in
creased by the house would be lessened.
The understanding is that the bills having
special assignments, which have lost their
day by the deadlock, will not recover their
position. There may be one or two that will
get time after the tariff bill is disposed of,
but the general purpose appears to be to let
them drop. 1t is not certain that there will
be a session on Saturday. Tuesday the tar
if bill is to be called up. The last named, it
is supposed, will be the regular order until
disposed of, although debate may give way
at some period to let an appropriation bill
slip through
