The st of May will be a Great Day Be-
tween Labor and Capital.
CHICAGO, April 24th.-"Chicsgo is stand
ing on the verge of the most tremendous
outbreak Of labor it has ever SEEN" These
are the words uttered yesterday by one of
the best-infornIed and conservative labor
leaders in the city. When asked his rea-
sons for such en- opinion the speakers said
"iiay 1st is fixed as the DAY on which Or
gained labor is TO ask for tie eight-hour
osy. Suppose the carpenters strike is
unsettled when that day comes. In such
al event at least 10000 men in the build
ing trades will be idle. The stock yards,
employees, 10000 in number, ere GeteI-
mined 10 have eight hours or a strike.
Added to these are the gasftters, who will
go out on Monday, the harness-maker s,
who will Quit on the same day. and l 900
brick makers, who are already out; put
these together and you will have $4,000
men who will stop work within the next
ten DAYS. unless something is done to avert
the trouble"
The carpenters situation is more strained
so than ever. The bosses contemplate
the suspension of business Saturday night
next.
The striking orickmakers resumed work
this morning, the bosses accedng to their
demand.
THREATENING SITUATION.
BosToN, April 24ih-A special dispatch
from Cheyenne says that a conference has
been cal ed to consider the demands OF the
Union Pacific trainmen for an increase of
wages. Nearly all of the officials are now
at Cheyenne, and if some solution is net
reached to-day strike will ensne, taking
Ill the Denver, Texas and Fort Worth. the
Oregon Short Line, the Kansas Pacific and
the ULion Pacific.
CANNOT BE CONTROLLED.
CHICAGO, April 24th.-It was originally
the intention OF the American Federation
OF Labor that the carpenters only should
at present make demand for eight hours
day. But the developments to-day and
yesterday show that other trades are not
likely to conform to the instructions of
President Gompers. Nearly every promi-
nent trade of the city has, through its
union, declared its intention to also de-
mand eight hours day on May LIST.
Gompers desired the other trades to hold
oil and contribute financially to the carpen-
tiers assistance until the latter had gained
their point; then the other trades to come
in turn by turn. President Gompers' cir
cular letter has been entirely disregarded,
and in addition to the carpenters, the stock
yards and packing house employees, gas
filters, iron molders, stair builders mill
carpenters and harness makers have al
ready declared their intention to fight, and
their example is likely to be followed by
the tailors, shoemakers, plasterers, fathers,
cornlce makers and other trades.

4 Youthful Investigator,

There j, family of homeopaths of the high
est diution residing on High street, not very
far from Woodward avenue. The children
of this family are taught from their earliest
infancy to abhOr and eSchew anything in the
shape of medicine that has the least taste,

better of the training of the youngest mem
Der one day, and, clutching a bright new
penny, the gift of a visiting relative, in his
hand, the little fellow toddled away to a drug
store on the avenue and surprised the clerk
with a demand for pennys worth of "aIlo-
patio medicine"
After thinking over the matter a few min
utes the pharmaceutical handed out a big
lump of alum to his young customer, who
was soon after found by his mother seated on
the doorstep munching the alum with a face
radiant with delight. If the spirit of inves-
legation does not kill this 5-year-old before he
arrives at the age Of maturity, it seems ex-
tremely probable that he will some day be
heard of again in other fields of study and re-
search.-DetrOit Tribune
