PHILADELPHIA's PART.
Three Thousand Carpenters Strike fol
q Nine-Hour Day.

Three Thousand Carpenters Strike for
Nine-Rour Day.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-The journeyman
carpenters of this city went on a strike this
morning as they had previously announced
they would do. Their demand is for nine
hour working day, with pay at 80 cents per
hour. The present union rate of wages is
80 cents per hour. A majority of the mas
ter carpenters, at meeting Tuesday, de-
cided to resist the demands of the men for
an increase. A few, however, including
John Wanamaker, who employs 60 men,
and Allen B. Roork, a prominent builder
who has rs carpenters on his roll, notified
their men several days ago that begin
ming to-day their wages would
be increased to So 10 per dav.
The number of men thus affected
is something over 500. They were at work
as usual to-day, and it is not believed that
they will be ordered out. The strike was
accomplished without any demonstration
of any sort. There has been no disturbance
SO far as known, and as the general DISPOSE
tion of the men is quiet and orderly, it is
not believed that any will occur. 1t is
roughly estimated that 5000 men are out.
There has been no celebration of Mayday
whatever here to-day. The tin roofers and
hodcarriers struck for more pay, but their
movement is independent of the carpenters
and of each other

IMPORTED LABORERG.
Special Agent Lee Makes His Report
on the south.


WASHINGTON, May IA joint meeting
Of the House and Senate committees on i'm
migration and naturalization was held to-
day, TO hear Timothy F. Lee, special agent
of the treasury department, upon the SUBJ
ject of violations OF the contract labor law
in the south. Mr.. Lee said his territory
extended from Norfolk, Va, to Brunswick,
Ga, and his duties were to investigate and
prevent violations of the contract labor
law. In that section of the country, he
said, several hundred Canadians came and
went every year, working while there load
ing cotton on steamers. They did not do
any more work than native laborers, nor
did they work for less wages !;
and 1t was his belief that the employers
were not benefited financially by their
labor. They were more plant, Mr.. Lee
thought, than the native laborers and were
for that reason desired. He had worked up
case against one Norfolk firm for the
importation of thirty-five of the Canadians,
aud the case is now pending in the United
states court at Richmond. The Canadians
themselves. fearing trouble, he said, had left
West Point and returned home.
SAVANNAH INTERESTED.
The greater number of these Canadians
worked at Norfolk, West Point and Savan-
nah. Mr.. Lee told how English cotton
brokers, buying for English consumers,
had recently brought with them cheap
samplers, who took the place
of the American experts who had
received IS to $40 a day for their work.
There seemed to be no remedy for this, how
ever, as contracts made in foreign countries
by citizens thereof do not come within the
purview of the law. Mr.. Lee spoke of the
supplanting of native colored labor by
Italians in the phosphate beds of South
Carolina. Negroes formerly made as high
as So 80 day, but padrones went down aud
drove them out with Italians who do not
average more than 60 cents day. There
are ABOUT 1000 of them in the phosphate
beds and they are kept at work by armed
guards. The contract labor law. Mr.. Lee
says, is imperative. In his opinion both
the employer and laborer should be pun
ished, and Instead of fine being imposed
for violation the offender should be impris-
oned.

Tonight.
A COMPLETE FIAsCo.
BERLIN, May l, IL 40 p. M.-The socialist
demonstration was a complete fasco.
These who refrained from work were
chiefly young men whose object was to
enjoy holiday. There was no meeting or
demonstration of any Importance. The
military was called out, nominally for field
exercise. The police were ordered to
ignore the workmen as far as possible, and
only to interfere in case of threatening
disturbance. The midnight isolated gather
ings were easily dispersed. A dozen persons
who offered resistance were arrested.
A procession marched from Grunewald to
Charlottenburg, where it dispersed by order
of the authorities. No resistance was
offered.

The Ex-President Admitted to Prac-
tice in the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-When the supreme
court of the United States met at II o'clock
to-day ex-President Cleveland was one Of
the lawyers within the space reserved for
members of the bar. He was accompanied
by Mr.. Garland. attorney-g OF the
last administration. Immediately after the
opening of court the chief justice asked if
there were any motions for admission to the
bar. Mr.. Garland arose, and in the usual
formal style said 81 move the admission Of
Mr.. Grover Cleveland, who is duly qualified
under the rules
The chief justice directed that the re<
quired oath be administered, and this was
performed by MIR. Mckinney, clerk of the
court.
MIR. Cleveland then went into the clerks
office, where he paid his fee of $40, had his
name registered and received his parch-
ment.
HIS ADMISSION A SURPRISE.
1t was not generally known that he was
In town and the news of his admission to
the bar of the supreme court was surprise.
Mr.. Cleveland is of the counsel in what are
known as the drainage cases from New Or
leans, and asked for admission In order that
he might be qualified to appear in these suits
before the court. IL Is quite improbable
that the cases will be reached at this term
of court and they will probably go over
until next November.

could and loved your state and city sincerely
while life lasted, brings such comfort as Is now
possible to me and mine. / note your resolu-
tions to the disposition of the revered remains
My friends, do not press me for an answer now

say will do what seems to our family and
friends best when we come to de-
termine the final place of interment One of
my dead rests with you, and most
tenderly have you cared for and tended the
little grave, and a grateful memory is ever
present with me, Please accept, singy and

A Disorderly Band on the Thames
Cowed by the Police.
LONDON, May Five hundred disorderly
men gathered on tho Thames embankment
this morning, bent on making
some kind Of demonstration. A force Of
$500 police were on hand, however, and
the mob was cowed by their presence.
A procession of workingmen, which was
held in this city to-day, fell far short of the
number it was expected would take part In
the parade. The line was composed of only
few hundred men. The procession
marched to Hyde park, where a number of
speeches in favor of the workmen's cause
were made.
An attempt was made to hold meeting
at Hackney, but the police would not per-
init it aud the crowd was dispersed.
A procession was formed at Sotto square,
but as this was contrary to the police reg1-
lations, which provided that only one pro-
cession, to follow specified route, would
be allowed, it was broken up. Those taking
part in the procession made no resistance to
the police, but quietly dispersed when
ordered to do so.

Big Fizzle.
New YORK, May 1.-The New York city
end of the worldwide labor demonstration
tonight was not great success as far as
the members who attended the Union
square mass meeting was concerned.
Rainy weather kept many away.
Not more than 1900 people were at the
speakers stand at one time. In the process
sion that preceded there were 5, 900 paraders.
1t was not the meeting that the labor
leaders expected-15,00 COO men. The
meeting was under the auspices of
the socialistic labor party. Several hun
dred policemen were in the neighborhood
pur had no excuse to use their clubs, for the
martial strains of the Marseillais did no
more than stir up some enthusiasm.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Resolutions were adopted by the meeting,
which recIted the fact that the day had
been fixed by the American Fedora
ton Of Labor as the Inauguration
of the eight-hour movement; that the
international labor congress at Paris
last July had issued such call to the work
lngmen of the world; that the carpenters
had opened the eight-hour battle; that the
eight-hour demand is only temporary relief
from the workings of capitalism; that moth
ing but socialism will solve the labor ques-
tion.
And it is therefore resolved that the
demand that the hours of labor be reduced
to eight should be decreed by statute; that
in the struggle the ultimate object, ablition
of the wage system, be not lost sight of.
The principal speaker, Labor Leader Ser
gius Schovitch, said that the less hours a
man spent at work the more he would have
to think about himself. This meeting was
the beginning of the end, but that end
would not come until they owned the earth
and the fullness thereof. He concluded by
asking all to be true to the red flag.

MILWAUKEB's MEN,

Many Bosses Grant an Eight -four
Day With Eight Hours Fay.
MILWAUKEE,, May LIN Milwaukee the
demand of the union carpenters for the
adoption of the eight hour system was not
coupled with demand for increased wages,
and as the men were willing to accept
eight hours pay for eight hours work the
movement has met with no strong opposl-
tion on the part of their Employer. AL
though the contracting carpenters associa-
tions declined as a body to formally
declare in favor of eight hours, many
Individual members of the association, in
Guiding the president, have announced that
they will conform to the wishes of the men.
Those who have taken this stand include
the leading contractors in the city, and the
indications are that if any striking is done
by the Milwaukee carpenters, it will be in
cases where individual contractors insist on
retaining the ten-hour system.
THE MAsoNs AND BRICKLAYERs.
The Masous and Bricklayers' union has
decided to assist the carpenters by stopping
work on all buildings where men refused to
accede to the demands.
The paw for carpenters is % cents per
hour, and under the eight-hour system the
men will get 81 rs per day, instead of 50 20
as heretofore. The union men claim that
under the new order of things 500 of their
fellow craftsmen who are now unemployed
will be given work. There are from 1000
TO $500 carpenters in the city, and it is
claimed that $500 belong to the unions,
which have made large accessions to their
membership N, during the last few weeks:

Two Thousand Carpenters Conceded
Their Point and 1900 Strike.
BOSTON, May 1.-The strike of the car
penters of this city for an eight hour work
day, was formally inaugurated this morn
ing. About 1000 men are out, and of this
number $50 are recruits, who joined the
ranks of the disaffected within the past day.
1t is estimated that there are 1000 men in
the city who have been granted eight hours
by about 100 firms who are not members
of the Master Builders Association.
These men have the approval Of the car
penters' union IN continuing at work. A
member of the builders association said to
a reporter this morning that the strike is of
much smaller dimensions than was
expected. He expressed the opinion that
the strikers will never secure their demands
from the builders association, and that this
movement by the men will break up the
carpenters union.
