strations. Thousands of them quit work
for the day to march in the great parade,
and many thousands made it holiday.
1t was an orderly, good-natured crowd
and an orderly parade.
The marching line was about fou,
miles long. 1t occupied two hours in
passing given point, and the number
of men in line is estimated at about
thirty thousand. The carpenters, who
have been placed by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in the van of the eight
hour movement, led the demonstration
They had about six thousand men, in
Guiding three assemblies of Knights of
Labor. They were followed by three
thousand stone-masons and brick-lay-
ers. Then came delegations from the
unions of printers, metal workers and
molders. These were followed by a
dozen German Turner societies, forming
the second division. Next marched the
furniture workers, cabinet-makers, car
riage and wagon builders, cigar
cloak-makers, boiler-makers. rattan
workers and harness-makers.
Many of the trades escorted in their
ranks gaudily decorated floats on which
were realistic representations ofmembels
OF the craft pursuing their daily occupa-
tions. There were bricklayers building
miniature houses, boilermakers pound
ing with frightful noise, coopers work
ing on huge casks, carpenters, stone
cutters and many similar exhibitions.
One feature of the procession was the
enormous number of banners and mot
toes carried. Among many notices
were the following: "Arbitration is our
motto;" Down with monopoly :" 'No
carpenters, no houses - eight hours
and arbitration is lust de-
mand;" "We live by labor, not by
war;; When arbitration is compulsory
strikes will cease"; "Child labor should
not be ON the bench or in the shop. but
at SCHOOL,; eight hours for work, eight
hours for sleep, and eight hours to do
what we will"
The line of march was crowded with
people, who cheered the marchers and
notices. After parading through some
OF the principal streets of the west side
they marched over to the south side and
to Lake Front park, where they listened
to addresses from several stands.
1t now appears evident that the num-
Der OF strikers will not be nearly so nu-
merous as was anticipated. Representa-
tives OF the Federation OF Labor have
been busy among the discontented
workmen, during the past week, doing
their best to allay the strike, and with
apparent good success. They have been
asking all the trades to lay aside their
grievances till the carpenters get their
demands over the country. It looks
now as if there will only be few spo-
radio strikes here and there, and that
none OF the city's great industries will
be tied up.

principal speaker was Sergius E. Sene-
witch. He said the meeting was the be-
ginning of the end, but that the end
would not come until they had the earth
and the fullness thereof. He concluded
by asking all to be true to the red flag.
There were eighteen of these red flags
displayed upon the stand, but among
all the banners and transparencies only
two United States flags were seen, and
one of those had huge skull and cross
bones printed on it. The other flag had
a yellow cross beneath the stars.
The impending strike among the men,
bers of the Carpenters Union, has been
avoided. The bosses announced this
morning that they would agree to the
terms of the men; that eight hours
should constitute days work. The
men are all at work, and there is great
rejoicing among the different trades.
The proposed reduction of the wages
of the employees of the United States
Express Company was here enforced to-
day. Everything goes on as usual.

Hour Cause.

Hour Cause.
LOUISVILLE, May lin the May-dav
parade today the number of working
men in line was placed at five to seven
thousand. The weather was fine and
there was a large turn out of working
ingmen's families, making the number
assembled at National park for exercises
over ten thousand. When the process
sion arrived at the park it was reviewed
by President Gompers. After dinner a
number of addresses were delivered.
The most important was that of Presi-
dent Gompers. Several local unions
held meetings. Among these the car
penters, alone, took important action.
They resolved to go on a strike tomor-
row unless the master builders accede
their demands that eight hours shall
constitute days labor, and 35 cents an
hour be the minimum pay.
President Gompers, in his speech.
which was lengthy one, spoke of the
worldwide movement for eight hours
defended the workingmen against the
charge that extra hours of leisure
would be devoted to debaucherv and
the cultivation of vicious habits. This
he said, was base insinuation against
large majority of the workingmen of
this country, ninety-five out of everv
hundred of whom were condemned for
the deeds of the other five. "The cap
italists say" said he, "that the eight
hour movement would break up industry
and commercial progress. 1t does not
mean that; 1t means greater degree of

OVER seven hundred people were regis
tered at the Redondo Beach Hotel yes
terday, and the experiences of the
visitors were of highly gratifying char
acter. The admiration universally ex-
pressed at the exquisite appointments
of this new candidate for public favor
was unstinted. While there was no ball
the amplest provision was made for the
comfort of the guests. As the Beach has
been often written up in the HERALD,
and is elaborately treated in our local
columns this morning, prolonged edi-
torial mention is scarcely needed today.
The eclat attending the business was
up to any standard that could be desired,
and was auspicious of great things for
the future of Redondo.

ALONG THE COAST,
A QUIET FIRST OF MAY AT THE
BAY CITY.
The Eight -Hour-Day Peaceably Adopted
at Oakland-Labor Troubles at Port
land About Settled.

SAN Francisco, May May day
opened here today bright and warm.
Its anniversary was even more quiet
than usual, owing to the fact that there
was an almost complete absence of
building construction, and several hun
dred carpenters and their families spent
the day at Shell Mound park. The in
tention of the Eight-Hour League to
have grand procession of the labor
organizations of the city was abandoned
some time ago, and the demonstration
today was confined to a meeting tonight
at the headquarters of the furniture
workers. Tomorrow, however, the car
penters and joiners will make their first
move toward securing an eight
hour day, unless the discussion
between them and the contractors now
going on, is previously settled in their
favor. The brewery workmen have sue
ceeded in their demand for nine-hour
day, with slight increase of wages, and
the plumbers, gasfitters and plasterers
have secured an eight-hour day, but the
more important trades propose to await
the result of the carpenters demand be-
fore making any move.
The Eight Hour Day at Oakland.
The eight-hour system went into effect
in Oakland today without any conflict
between the carpenters and their en-
ployers. The mill operatives are op-
posed to having their hours cut down if
a reduction of wages follows, and the
mill owners offer their men half-holi-
day on Saturday, instead of the eight
hour system. This proposition seems
generally satisfactory.
AT Redwood City.
REDWOOD CITY, CAL, May Flags
were flying today on account of the
eight-hour movement among the labor
ers. The new working hours have gone
into effect here among the carpenters on
certain buildings, and will on all as soon
as the present contracts are completed.
The contractors intend to make an al
lowance in their future bids for the in
creased cost of labor.
Labor Matters at Portland.
PORTLAND, Ore, May 1.-The Builders
Exchange of Portland tonight formally
notified the Builders Union of this city
that the employees of contractors who
WeIe lOCkcu ouG Oli ApIll 1oIi Gail IeIuIH
to work next Monday at the old rates,
but that the contractors reserve the
right to employ whom they please. 1t is
generally conceded that the eight-hour
question will not cut an important factor
in the labor troubles, as the contractors
are generally willing to admit that eight
hours shall constitute days work. The
eight-hour question was not raised at
the meeting of the Builders Exchange
tonight.

THE activity in the organization of
Democratic clubs all over Southern Cali
fornia is one of the encouraging signs of
the times. In Los Angeles they are be-
ing organized on all hands, and delega-
tion from the Iroquois Club of Los An
geles will start tomorrow to institute a
branch of that organization in San
Diego. 1t will start with membership
of fifty-six, and that Democrat stalwart,
Col. Chalmers Scott, is at the head of
it. This is good guarantee of it's
vitality.

Demonstrations Conducted by Socialists.
Only Few Take Part


Only a Few Take Part.
New YORK, May 1.-The New York
City end of the worldwide labor demon
stration tonight was not great success,
SO far as numbers who paraded and at
tended the Union Square meeting are
concerned. Probably not more than
1900 persons were at the speakers stand
at one time. In the procession that
preceded there were about 5000 parad-
ers, Rain partly excused this apparent
want of enthusiasm. The meeting was
under the auspices of the Socialist party.
Fear that there might be some trouble
had induced the police to make yery
careful preparations, but they were not
called upon to exhibit themselves. Res
olutions were adopted reciting that the
eight-hour demand is only for temporary
relief from capitalisms. Nothing but
socialism will solve the labor question.
1t was therefore resolved that demand
be made that the hours of labor be de-
creed by statute; that in the struggle
the ultimate object of the abolition of
the wage system be not lost sight of-tne
triumph of socialism.
There were three speakers stand. The

ST. LOUIS, May 1.-Fully 25,OO0 men

stration under the auspices of the
American Federation of Labor The
parade was swelled by the presence of
Knights of Labor, and was made up of
bookbinders, shoe-lasters, harness.
makers, cigar-makers, garment-cutters
plate-printers, collar-makers, ,machinists.
coopers and dozen other trades, above
all being ten organizations of carpenters.
After the parade there were appro-
pirate exercises at Schneider's gardens
and various halls throughout the city.
Thousands of badges, in the form of a
brooch representing the figure 8, were
conspicuously worn today. No extra
ordinary precautions had been taken by
the authorities, as no trouble was an
ticipated.
The parade was pronounced success,
and the crowd was an orderly and a
loyal one. The stars and stripes was the
only flag to be seen, and there were
many fag-bearers. Few banners were
displayed, and the tone of the inscrip-
tions was very moderate. The labor
situation here is problematical. While
there is no direct knowledge of proposed
strikes, it is not at all improbable that
there may be trouble in the building
trades.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-05-02

THERE has been no season since the
American occupation when the meteoro-
logical conditions here have been so
peculiar as at present. We seem to have
temporarily surrendered our matchless
climate and to have adopted lowering
skies and gloomy weather. Fortunately
for our continued belief in the favors of
the weather clerk, the sun came out
yesterday, and everything is lovely.
However, even at the worst, in the
Spring as in midwinter, the camelia
and tuberose flourish in great luxuri-
ance, and whatever perfume may be
lacking from the gardens is made up for
by orange and lemon blossoms.

No Demonstration Yesterday, but the
Carpenters May Strike Today.
MILWAUKEE, May 1.-The carpenters
have demanded eight hours work with
eight hours pay. While the master car
penters have declined to grant the de-
mand, as body, individual members
are left to do so, and many have COM
piled, so that strikes, if any, will be
against single individuals. In such
cases the masons and bricklayers will go
out with them. The latter already have
eight hours. There will be no parade
today. There is no likelihood of strikes
in other trades.
There was no strike or labor demon
stration OF any kind today. The carpen-
ters continued at work, having decided
to date the eight-hour movement in this
city from May I'd. If the contractors do
not grant the eight-hour day tomorrow,
the Carpenters Union, with 700 mem
bers, will strike.

The letter addressed by Mr.. Beau
mont to Congressman Mckinley, the
Chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House of Representatives,
was very pregnant with thought both
on the silver question and the tariff.
Unless under the new law which has
been partially incubated in the Republi-
can caucus, silver is made an absolute
legal tender, the relief given to the peo-
pie will bea mockery. The whole west
and northwest are very much wrought
up about this issue, and they are just
as much interested, as Mr.. Beau
mont says, on the war tariff.
He calls the attention of the

progress for the whole people; it means
more advancement and intelligence, and
a nobler race of our people. The cap
italists accuse us of being selfish and
wanting more and more, and we'll never
cease to demand more until we shall re-
ceive the results of our labor"
Mr.. Gompers, in an interview, said
the European governments were uniting
to resist the eight-hour movement
They could not prevent it, though they
might postpone it. The labor of the
world was now working for that single
object, and would attain it, if it should
take ten years.

Pennsylvania, however, number of
strikes are reported. At Johnstown,
Scottdale, Jeanette, Greensburg and
Braddock the carpenters and joiners
came out for eight hours work or increase
of wages. Their demands have not been
granted and building operations have
been practically suspended in these
towns. At McKeesport there was
monster demonstration tonight under
the auspices of the Carpenters Union,
in which several thousand workmen,
representing all branches of trade, par
ticipated. In Smithton mining district
the situation is unchanged. Both sides

result. The Indiana miners and opera

learned how to contain themselves to a
remarkable degree. They have discov-
cred that there is really nothing profit
able in violence, and that the truest way
to win their rights is to demand them
temperately but determinedly. One of

is that the men who earn their living by

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-The carpenters
struck this morning for nine hours at 35
cents an hour, the old rate being 80
cents. A number of bosses, including
John Wanamaker, who employs 500 men
i'll the aggregate, have conceded the de-
mands, and their men are at work. 1t
IS estimated that 5000 men are out, in
Guiding some non-union men. Every
thing is quiet.
Six master carpenters, employing 200
hands, after holding out until noon, con-
ceded the demands of the men as indi-
viduals, but will not recognize the union.
