Carpenters Settling Their troubles.

CHICAGO, April 24.-Late tonight speedy
settlement in part of the carpenters strike
seemed probable. At conference during
the evening between the representatives
of the strikers and the bosses not members
of the Master Carpenters Association a
plan of action was agreed upon.
The new organization of non-assocaton
employers was shown to be able to pro-
vide work for four thousand journeymen
and formally conceded all demands, in
cluding satisfactory minimum rate of
wages and short work-day. An agree
ment was reached that committees from
the two organizations should call, before
Saturday, on the old Masters Associa-
tion and at least place the latter
body on record. The understanding
is that in any event when the new
bosses meet again Saturday night, the
strike as to them will be delared off
whether the less numerous but more
wealthy old bosses surrender or not. The
idea is that the strike being then no longer
general. the old bosses will not be in a po-
sition to enforce "strike clauses in con-
tracts with owners of buildings, and the
work will go to the new bosses.

All Trades Getting Ready.

CHICAGO, April 2A-The efforts of the
local labor leaders. it is stated this evening"
will be devoted during the next week to sn
endeavor to restrain the strike fever which
seems to have seized the workingmen of
the city. Chicago was chosen as the battle
ground on which the first general engage
mert was to be fought, and the carpenters
were placed in the advance line. It was
intended that all other trades should re-
main at work until the carpenters should
have won. Trade after trade has organized
and declared that it, too, must have the
eight-hour day. until, according to current
reports, the monster demonstration which
has been arranged for May as an express
sion of sentiment only may. it is feared,
turn into the beginning of strike which
the leaders will be powerless to
direct. much less control Certainly many
thousand strikers will be added to the car
penters. The stockyards and packing
house employees, the stair-bnilders, mill
carpenters, gas-titters, iron molders and
harness-makers have already announced
their intention of striking. Besides these
the tailors, shoemakers, plasterers. latbers,
cOrnice-makers, metal-wOrkers and many
other lines of labor seem determined to join
the ranks
ing that the building bosses would antici-
patio the proposed general strike by total
suspension of business Saturday night next.
BY this move the bosses would put the men
on the defensive to q certain extent.
The idleness among the building trades
consequent on the carpenters strike is iu-
creasing. The president Of the Brick-layers'
Union called at the strikers headquarters
to-day, and said that less than three huu-
dred of the $500 brick-layers in the city
T. n
prevails in most of the building trades.
Considerable elation was felt at the car
penters' headquarters this morning over the
signal defeat OF the attemptmade by one OF
contractor George Fuller, brought seven
men from Milwaukee last night, who, upon
reaching this city. were met by commit
tee of strikers, aud straig htway ioined the
union. This morning they claim that Mr..
Fuller has some of their tools in his pos
session, and announced their intention to
demand that they be returned them at
once.
