CHICAGO, May 5.-The signal was given
and the iron moulders in most of the large
manufacturing establishments in Chicago
went out on q strike, or rather they declined
to 60 to work at the old rates. They humber
about $50, and were employed in the Mallea-
bic works, the Mccormick harvesting ma
chine works, the establishment of Bower i
Richardson, and Griffin's iron foundry. Un-
less their demands are granted it is probable
that the strike will spread to the other en-
ployes of these concerns, which employ, all
told. about 5000 men.
At the Mccormick works. the moulders
have placed pickets to prevent the employ
ment of non-union men. The Illinois Steel
company granted 200 of their moulders the
eight hour day and a strike was averted. The
moulders employed at the Deering reaper
works and number of machinists struck.
The Fairbanks Canning company has refused
the demands of the 500 employees for the
eight hour day and strike will be inaugu-
rated.
planning MILL MEN STRIKE.
Ten thousand employees in the sash, door
and blind factories, planning mills and other
such lines of business went on a strike for the
eight hour work day. There are about 25.-
600 of them, all told, in the city, and it is
understood that the remaining 15,GOO will
strike.
DON'T WANT EIGHT HOURS.
All the hands employed at the c. ]. Meyer
company, manufacturers of sash, doors and
blinds, struck. They number 400. The
yards of the firm are at the north pier. The
men demanded nine hours work and nine
hours pay as substitute for the ten hour
system. The firm declined to accede and
offered eight hours. This the men refused.
1t was reported that all the employees in tho
sash and blind factory of Palmer il Fuller
had struck. Palmer il Fuller employ 200
men. Their demands are similar to those OF
the employees of Meyer Il Sons company. 1t
was also SAID that 800 men at Hinsley &
Weass' factory had gone on strike. The
strike covers the southwest division of the
city and the mills on the north pier. Tho
demand is for eight hours work and eight
hours pay. In most instances the men quit
work without notifying their employers.
Among all the planning mills there was but
one where the men were at work, and that
was at A. Benefits. Trouble is feared at
many of the establishments. The strikers
claim every planning mill employe in the city
will strike. The planning mill men number
all the way from 1900 to $1,000.

VIENNA, May 1.-The reichstrath will hold
a session to-day. Local riots are reported in
various parts of the country. Great fires
have occurred in Czartkow and several other
cities and towns. They were undoubtedly of
incendiary origin and due to the agrarian
agitation.
Further arrests have been made at Lyons
of anarchists who were endeavoring to incite
workmen to violence. The police of this
city visited the houses of number of suspects
and seized explosives and a number of letters

Better Prices for Cattle Promised

Better Prices for Cattle Promised.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 3.-Senator Vest
has made report of the Investigations of his
committee, which has laDored so long IN try
ing to find ways to aid the cattle interests OF
the country.
The report covers three recommendations
for legislative action: To inaugurate dlplo-
matte correspondence with the authorities OF
Great Britain, to bring about repeal or
modification of the existing quarantine regu-
lations of thel United Kingdom; to provide
for national inspection of cattle, or of dressed
meat intended for expectation, and to pro-
hibit monopoly in the purchase, sale and
transportation of cattle and of meats.
The summing up portion of the report Is
of great and general interest.
The committee quotes statement from
Mr.. ArmOur's testimony that beef cattle have
ing the last five years, from whicn he argued
that the low prices of beef cattle are partly
due to over production. This argument, the
committee states, Is not warranted by the
facts, and the committee has no hesitation In
stating that combination exists at Chicago
which controls the market and fixes the prices
of beef cattle in its own interests.
The railroad trunk lines, says the COM
mittee, control the meat traffic of the coun-
try in the interests of the railroad compa-
nies. Comparing the railroad charges on a
car of wheat and car of dressed beef, the
committee shows a discrimination In favor
of dressed beef of about 30 per cent. As to
the remedies to relieve the situation, the
committee says that congress, in the bill re.
Gently passed by the senate on the subject OF
trusts, has gone as far as its power extends.
State legislation must supplement that by
congress to punish combines operating with
in the state lines, and active, intelligent offi-
cials must be found to enforce the laws when
enacted. If the federal and state authorities
shall thus act in concert, and the other legls-
lation as to unjust discrimination by rail
roads in transporting cattle, the removal OF
quarantine restrictions as to American cattle
shipped to Great britain, and the breaking
up of the monopoly in the steamship carry
ing trade of cattle to foreign ports be enacted,
we have great confidence in obtaining relief
from existing evils.
In conclusion the committee says: "If the
cattle raisers of the United States are only
true to themselves. the immediate future
promises dehverance from present influences.
There is no excuse for panic. The worst
feature of the cattle trade is the fac. that so
many COWS and veals are being thrown upon
the market, the indication being that pro-
ducers are panic stricken and anxious to re-
alize now without regard to the future. There
were marketed in Chicago during the past

There was decidedly easier feeliugin money
to-day. and rates on call we're again down to
reasonable basis although they would be called
very n gh at any other time. The squeeze being
temporarily checked, the street had time to
look at other factors in the situation, and more
attention was paid to the threatened strike than
for the past few days. The general opinion on
the street is that there will be no strike of i'm
portance, and should it really come. that it has
been fully discounted. Tho buster is likely to
be kept up however, and until the question
IS settled one way or the other. it remains a
cloud upon the market, restricting operations
for the long side of the account, while the re-
cent heavy decline and the enlargement of the
short interest, together with the fact that stocks
lave got into stronger hands, make bears shy
of extending their lines any more at present
The market consequently again relapSed into
something like the recent dullness and stagna-
ton in prices, and although there were some
marked movements in the list, final changes
show only small fluctuations for the day while
the high rates fer money have dsapp AIRED. The
feeling of uneasiness is likely to continue until
