CHICAGO, May 2.-The threatene'
strikes in this city, which may be SAID t
have technically begun yesterday wheI
organized labor took its holiday, wer
not made apparent until this morning
when the men failed to resume work Il
many shops. The Black road in the vic
inlty of McCormack's Reaper Works hat
much the same appearance to day as It hat
four years ago. None but strikers coult
| be seen and they had entire possession
Every man, boy and girl employed in tht
malleable iron works on Twenty s!xtf
| and Rockwell streets is out. The tota
number of employees Is 1900. No partic-
ular reason was assigned by the men fol
quitting work. A committee was ap-
pointed last night to wait upon officials
but they seemed disinclined to go before
their employers. President Bailey called
the strikes about him and upbraided
them for going out without notice, and
told them that when they found out what
they wanted to let him know their de
mands. The men seemed not to know
what to say IN reply. The chairman OF
the me'der's committee says they want
ten hours as days work, 15 cents advance
in wages and so per cent. extra for over
time.
At the great Mccormack Reaper Works
about fifty molders went out, but work
was progressing as usual. A large pro.
portion of the employees of the founderies
of Barnum, Richards, Ajax Forge Com
pany and Chicago Car Wheel Company
went out, and those concerns are closed.
As elsewhere, no formal demand was
Aade on employers.
At the Wells French Car Company's
shops every one of the 1000 employees
went out, and the shops were closed.
The blacksmiths are the only ones who
make known their demand, which was for
eight hours as a DAYS work.
PHILADELPHIA, May 2-There was
great rejoicing among the carpenters on
strike at headquarters this morning when
it was announced that the bricklayers had
come to the aid of the strikers by order
ing that no bricklayers should set
window or door frame for bosses who
refused to grant the demands of the car:
penters. In some cases bricklayers stop
ped work on this account, and all will
obey the order. Fifty eight out OF 800
master carpenters in the city have already
conceded the advance. The strikers feel
that victory is already within theil grasp.
Over 1000 employees of the Wells French
Car Company struck this morning, with
out notice, for eight hours. The works
are left id.e.
HONOR AT ANY COST.
WAsH1NGLoN, May 2.-Representative
Sayres, of Texas, and Bland of Missouri,
have covered into the treasury the money
stolen ty Silcott. which the court of
claims determined was due them during
the discussion of the Silco:t bill in the
house. These gentlemen held that the
and government should suffer
the loss of this money. As there was no
ether way fer the department to accept
the money it was turned into the con
science fund. Other members believe
that they are not entitled to this money
and propose to introduce bill authoriz-
ing the sergeant at. arms to cover into
the treasury at the end of the session any
money remaining in his hands. They
will then decline to draw money to their
credit for November salary.
