GENERAL STRIKE CALLED.
Every Workman in London Asked ts
Walk Out on Monday.


LONDON, Aug. 3O.-The indications
this morning are not very favorable to
the Immediate settlement of the strike.
A meeting of committee of strikers.
presided over by John Burns, was held
last night, at which important action
vas taken looking to making the
strike general. A manifesto was is-
sued by this committee early this
morning, solemnly appealing to the
workers IN every calling in London to
strike on Monday next unless the de-
mands of the dockmen be conceded be-
fore that date. The final demands OF
these men are: Six pence an hour for
a regular days work, and Spence an
hour for overtime, counting from P. M.
until A. NJ. as the over time hours; un-
der the contract system the pay to be 8
pence during the regular working hours
and shilling for overtime, nobody to be
employed for less than four hours. The
massmeeting of workmen has been
called for Sunday at Hyde Park.
The manifesto is signed by all the
London labor organizations, including
the stevedores, sailors and firemen's
unions, umbering sixty thousand men.
The accession of these unions is most
important. If the dock companies re-
fuse to accede to the terms demanded
grave complications must ensue forth
with. The condition of affairs becomes
graver hourly. Mr.. Burns addressed g.
700 men at Tower Hill, giving as the
watchword "No surrender" He was
cheered to the echo. Three thousand
lron-workers at Keighley have struck.
Cardinal Manning, Sir Andrew Lusk
and Lord Mayors Deputy Smith con-
terred with the officials of the dock
companies to-day. 1t is understood
that the Cardinal pleaded the cause of
the strikers.
1t is reported that the gas stokers are
dissatisfied and fears were entertained
that London would be in G..rkness in
case they struck, with additionalidanger
by reason of neglected retorts.

At Chicago on the 31st, proceeding
tending to test the legality of the recent
election, by which the surrounding
suburbs were annexed to Chicago. were
had in the circuit court. Treasurer
True, of the annexed town of Lake
View, had begun suit to compel the
county treasurer to turn over to him, as
treasurer of Lake View, the taxes
collected up in that end of the new Chi
cago, on the theory that the new annex
alton was unconstitutional. Arguments
were heard on that point, and the court
decided against Mr.. True. An appeal
was taken to the supreme court of the
state, and will come before that tribunal
early in October next. In case the an
nexation is declared unconstitutional,
the decision will apply to all of the
other suburbs recently annexed.
