GOLDEN GATE SHAKEN OFF ITS HINGES
IN SIX SHORT DAYS,
An Appalling Prospect for Chicago on
May 1.

CHICAGO, April 2I-Reports from various
parts of the city show that no building work
OF any importance is being DONE IL is the
opinion OF capitalists, well as the labor
leaders, that May will find Chicago in the
midst Of one of the greatest strikes ever wit
messed here. The demand for eight hours will
be almost universal. while the employers in
the different trades are all seemingly deter
mined not to grant the demand
The carpenters strike seems as far from a
termination as on the day the men went out
The gastitters and hardwood workers are now
out with no assurance of a speedy termination
OF the strike, and these, with the 1900 stock
yard employees who are determined to get eight
hours or quit, makes total of about q. ZOO men
who will, from present indications, be striking
on May /.
Ii such general movement be made smaller
industries will follow and business IN Chicago
will be all but paralyzed, while fully $4,000
men will be idle.
Considerable elation was felt at the carpen-
ters' headquarters this morning over the signal
defeat OF the attempt made by one OF the con-
tractors to import workmen. The contractor.
George Fuller, brought seven men from Mil
waukee last night, who, upon reaching this
city, were met by a committee of strikers and
straightway joined the union.
