Tho Greatest Labor Demonstration Ever
Witnessed I'm Chicago-Nearly Thirty
Thousand Men in Line, Headed by Five
Thousand Striking Union Carpenters-An
Immense Throng Listens to Speeches
on the Lake FrOnt-No Disturbance OF
Any Kind MARRIED the Occasion.
CHICAGO. May 1.-The greatest labor
demonstration ever witnessed in Chi
cago closed it's ranks shortly after
noon yesterday and in solid lines
nearly thirty thousand men marched to
the notes of music furnished by numer-
Gus bands. At the hour named the pro-
cesslon started from Monroe and Peoria
streets and marched east. The United
brotherhood of Carpenters headed the
procession, the Carpenters Union No.
and the Amalgamated Carpenters and
Joiners' following. These, with knights
OF Labor carpenter assemblies, formed
line of about five thousand carpenters.
Following these came the United Order
of American Bricklayers and Stone
MaSons, about three thousand strong.
Then, in the order named, came coal I'M
leaders, clOak-makers, wood workers,
fathers, turner's, metal cornice-makers,
lron-molders, metal-workers, printers,
wood-carvers and turner's, Bohemian
wood machine workers, n. II. Fair
banks employees, paper-hangers, cloak
and pants makers, tailors, German
printers, boiler-makers, gas-fitters, boy
makers, sawyers, harness-makers and
many others.
Banners, flags and notices were plen-
tifully displayed, and the sentiments
expressed on the notices caused ire
mendous cheers from the throngs of
spectators that crowded the line of
march. Every thing moved smoothly,
and not the slightest disturbance or
wrangle occurred.
The procession was easily four miles
long, and most of the paraders were
four abreast, and the ranks wero
crowded close together.
The strength expected from tho stock
yards did not materialize. Instead of
10000 men, as expected, less than 1000
appeared in line.
After parading over the line of march
the procession moved to the Lake Front
Park, where the announcement that
Congressman Frank Lawler, Judge Tut
hill, Judge Prendergast and others
would speak had drawn an immense
crowd Inefe were July twenty-five
thousand people on the ground in
addition to those that had taken part in
the parade. Owing to some misunder-
standing, no speakers stands had been
erected sin the park, and the carriages
bearing the speakers were therefore
driven to different places in the park
and from them the crowds were add
dressed. The orators spoke on the
labor question, and from the applause
that followed their remark, it was evil
dent that the multitude was we'll
pleased.
Up to a late hour yesterday afternoon
there had been no trouble at the stock
yards Several of the houses were
closed to allow the men to take part in
the parade. The police on duty there
did not anticipate any trouble.

LONDON, May 1.-The terrible May
Day boyle has come and gone, and a
very insignificant and harmless fellow
he has shown himself to be. What lit
tie disorder there was on the Continent
yesterday, where it was predicted and
greatly feared blood would flow. was
confined to street fights and brawls of
proportions far beneath the character
of a riot.
In London the street displays of the
boosted strength and uncompromising
determination of the workmen were
positively ridiculous in their meager-
ness. The parades were not directed
by either the trade unionists or the So
cialists, and really seemed to have no
definite object. The Socialists and
trades organizations, however, declare
that they are reserving their forces for
Sunday, when they will give an example
of their power that will cause society to
tremble.

An Important Ruling.

Acknowledgement Wood has made a
ruling in regard to the Pharmacy law
and the power of the State Board of
Health. In 1883 the law establishing
the State Board of Health was enacted,
giving the board power to judge of the
qualifications to practice medicine of
physicians who had not previously prac-
ticed five years. At the last session of
the Legislature the Pharmacy law was
so amended as to permit any physician
to compound prescriptions and sell
drugs without registering as q pharma-
cist. The question presented to the
Attorney-General is whether the State
Board of Pharmacy or the State Board
of Health is to be the Judge of whether
a party taking advantage of the amend
mcnt is physician. He holds that the
State Board of Health alone has power
to determine this point.
