RUNNING TO-DA

The Knights of Labor last evening called out
on strike the tranmen of the New-York Cen
tral and Hudson River Railroad who own al
legiance to the organization. The call was
obeyed, the company officials say, by about 900
men The Knights assert that about 5000 men
are already out. Plans had been so carefully
laid and the discipline of the Knights proved
so perfect that at o'clock, the hour secretly
agreed on they quit work together and TO man.
The bustling, busy Grand Central Station was,
if not completely paralyzcd, at least reduced to
a state of suspended animation. Stiffness sue
ceedcd the roar Of traffic, trains lay idly on the
tracks. and passengers, after waiting during a
weary hour were told that no more trains would
leave the station last night.
Over hundreds of miles Of the line the blow
of the Knights produced similar effect. On the
West Shore. however, trains ran all right up TO
midnight.
The strikers on the Central evidently closely
watched the movements Of its officers, and threw
the road into difficulties when the absence

A BUILDERS STRIKE.

The Employment of Non Union Work
men the Cause of the Trouble.
New YORK, April 11.-At l o'clock to-
day the carpenters, stair builders, steam fit
ters, plumbers and housesmiths employed
on several large buildings in the course of
construction down town, laid down their
tools and walked out, having been ordered
to stop work by the Central Labor Union.
The buildings wers those of the Union
Trust Company on Broadway, Brown Bros.
Lancashire Insurance Company and several
smaller ones.
The union ordered the strike because of a
disagreement with Paulsen & Eager, pro-
prietors of the Hecla iron works, at Green
Point, L. l., where men have been working
in the buildings. 1t is said that the iron
men promised to employ only union men,
which they were not in the habit Of doing.
THE FIRM WAITED ON.
A committee of the Central Labor Union
waited on the firm, and an agreement was
signed $50 it was claimed by the union menl
by Paulsoa & & Eager to employ union men
only No disposition was manifested to-day
by the firm to remove the non-union men
at work, and two delegates waited
or the iron men to ascertain why they had
not been removed as agreed upon. From
all accounts their reception was very cool /:
in fact, it is said, the delegates were ordered
out Of the company's office.
THE STRIKE ORDERED.
The delegates came back to the city, re-
ported the facs, and the men were ordered
out. Representatives of the iron works
could not be found in or about any of the
buildings affected by the strike. The plas-
terers and bricklayers did not join
in the strike, having district or
ganizations of their own from
which orders TO quit work must emanate.
Other trades laborers were not surprised at
the order from the Central Labor Union,
and were ready to stop work. Delegates
from the central union were around the
buildings maintaining order, and the walk

CHICAeo's CARPENTERS.
Every Indication That the Strike

Every Indication That the Strike is
to be Protracted One.
CHICAGO, April lit is thought that
the action of the Master Carpenters Asso-
citation last night in deciding not to concede
the strikers demands has done away with
all hope of a speedy settlement of the great
strike. The trouble seems to have settled
down to a question of endurance, and the
general impressions Is that the fight will be a
protracted one. The boss carpenters say
they propose to go to work to fill the strik-
ers' places on Monday next About
fifty employers who are not
members IF the Master Carpenters Associa-
tion held a meeting tonight, and after
forming an organization appointed an
arbitration committee t. meet a similar
committee from the journeymen The new
org nization is composed of the smaller
bosses, each of whom employs from three
to five workmen. The journeymen's execu-
tive council tonight issued another address
to the public, reitsrating the demands for
fixed minimum rate Of wages and an eight
hour day. A vigorous denial is entered TO
plea that the master association is purely a
social affair and that the council could not
enforce its side OF an agreement.
