The Carpenters, strike at Chi,.ro

CHICAGO, Sept. ga strike OF carpen-
tiers was begun here yesterday. in which
it was estimated that 5000 men would be
involved. The strike is principally
against the new bosses association, with
which an arrangement was made last
spring. The strikers claim that the bosses
did not live up to their agreement 1t is
impossible to say how many men quit
Estimates vary from ], 900 to 1000, but the
strike Is not a positive success, as it is
evident that the men were 10th to quit
work. At the meeting of the carpenters
council yesterday afternoon it was de-
cided to allow the men to go to work for
any boss paying 371s cents per hour Any
man can now work for any boss at any
price, provided it is AunderstoodD the 37ls
cents il paid, and it looks like anything
but strike lust now
