LAB0R'S GREAT WAR.
CHICAGo's CARPENTERS STILL OUT
AND DEFIANT.

A Conference to be Held To-day but
Settlement Not Fxpected-A Nom
Union Man Murderously Assaulted
The Austrian Government Turning
Schools Into Barracks in Readiness
for May Day.
CHICAGO, April 25.-Thomas Gilmore, a
non-union carpenter, lies at his home seri-
ously, if not fatally, injured. He was this
morning the victim of a murderous assault
made by half dozen strikers as he was
going to work.
This afternoon the joint committee of the
striking carpenters, now the Boss Carpen-
ters' Association, and the citizens arbitra-
tfon committee, sent a note to President
Goldie of the Builders and Traders Ex-
change, asking him to appoint time for
meeting, with a view to a settlement
or the pending strike. Mr.. Goldie
replied that he, together with theydirectors
aud some of the members of the exchange,
would meet and confer with the citizens
committee at noon tomorrow, with the
new boss carpenters committee at 2 O'Clock,
and with the carpenters committee at 8
O'Clock, in the builders exchange. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the joint commit
tee will consent to be thus split up into its
constituent elements. Not much is hoped
for from the conference should 1t take
place, inasmuch as President Goldie
says that the carpenters union will
under no circumstances be recognized, while
the strikerssdeclare that they will never re-
turn to work until such recognition is
granted. The best that they expect from
the conference is to put the old bosses on
record, and when that is done they will
probably make terms with the new boses'
association, which claims to have an EN-
ploying capacity of 4,500 men.

PITTsBURG, April 25.-The grievances of

and the men will act accordingly. 1t is
thought that the matter will vet be settled
without resorting to strike.
