THE STRIKE.
; CHICAGO, May 5--The great carpen-
ters' strike is finally settled as far as the
Dew bosses association is concerned.
Fully 1000 journeymen carpenters will
go to work by Thursday. The arbitra
tion committee of the new bosses assOci-
atiun and the strikers met this evening
and settled the last detail. The journey
men achieved sweeping victory. They
made concession on but two points. |
The only disappointment was that of the |
stubbornness of the old Masters Associ. |
alton hss left its members wholly out of |
the final deal. The official statement of |
the terms of settlement will not he issued |
until to morrow, but 1t Is reliably stated |
that the document provides for eight |
hours day. Overtime will be allowed |
between certain stipulated hours at night. |
The minimum rate of wages is fixed at
As cents per hour up to August 1, and |
thereafter al 371a cents. Overtime will |
be rated at time and half and Sunday
time as double time. In the matter OF
apprentices, concessions were made by |
both sides. Employers agree TO employ
only union men, even for toremen.
STANLEY A BRAGGART.
LONDON, May Following Stanles's
book "In Darkest Africa MIR. JepsoD's
book will appear. This work will des
cribe nine months life with Emin in the
absence of Stanley, besides giving another
view of the expedition. Jepson writes In
tone much friendlier to Stanley than
Bonney's narrative, because he knows
good deal more than Bonney did. The
latter's book, covering the period of the
terrible months starvation in the fighting
camp at Aruwhlmi, blames Stanley for
the disastrous loss of life which occurred
during this part of the expedition, and
holds up the great explorer as an uu-
scrupulous adventurer, reckless of the
lives of his colleagues and as braggart
who suppresses the truth for the sake of
| gloryifying himself. Bonney is the sole
survivor of the rear guard and he has
some of the most dramatic episodes of the
| expedition TO narrate. He does not spare
| Stanley in his frantic outbursts of anger,
and alleges that the leader has been try
ing to keep him IN the background.
