A Free Trader Would be II Slap mt the
Dead Statesman.
WASHINGTON, April o4.--The efforts
Of the free traders to force one Of their
number into Congress rs Mr.. Randalls
successor, arc likely 10 come to naught,
since Squire McMullen, alter his visit
here and consultation with Mr.. Ran
dall's family and friends has openly
declared for his old rival, Senator Nc.
Aleer.
McMullen says that McAleer is in &C.
cord with Randali's tariT views, and
lives in the same district. Should an
outsider move into it McAlullen would
support ex.Sfayor Faux, who also stood
with Randall on the tariff.
Representative O'Neil!, in speaking OF
the matter, remarked tha. to elect free
trader would be to slap the dead man in
the face. Mr.. O'Neill to-day made a
strong plea to Speaker Reed TO appoint
a Pennsylvania as successor to Randall
on the Appropriation Committee, and
recommended Mr.. Mutchler, who is the
choice OF the Democrats, since the place
will fall to Democrat.

CHICAGO, April 24.-Reports from vari-
GUS points Of the city show that no
building work OF any importance is
being done. 1t is the opinion of capi-
talists as well as labor leaders that May ]
will find Chicago in the midst OF one OF
the greatest strikes ever experience d
here. The demand for eight hours will
be almost universal, while the employ.
ers in the different trades are all seem.
ingly determined not to grant the de.
mand.
Considerable elation was ielt Mt the
carpenters headquarters this morning
over tho signal defeat of the attempt
made by the contractors to import work.
men. The contractor, George Fuller,
brought eeyen men from Milwaukee
last night, who, upon reaching this city,
were met by committee OF strikers and
staightway joined the Union. This
morning they claim that Mr.. Fuller has
some OF their tools in his possession, and
announced their intention to demand
that they be returned to them Mt once.
Late tonight speedy settlement on
part OF the carpenters strike seemed
probable. Alta conference during the
evening between the representatives OF
the strikers and the bosses not members
OF the masters association plan OF
action will be agreed upon.
The new order Of non-union employers
was shown to be able to furnish work
tor 1 900 journeymep, and formally con.
ceded all demands, including a satisfac.
tory minimum rate OF wages.
An agreement was reached that com.
mittecs from the two organizations
should call before Saturday on the old
masters association and at least place lat.

is that in any event when the new bosses
meet again Saturday night the strike
