NEW LAW OF LABOR.
CHICAGO, April 21.-Samuel L. Com
pers, president of the American Fedora.
tion OF Labor, is in the city, and will
deliver an address at Battery d to- MORO W
on 1.-The Eight-Hour Day; Its Enforce
ment a Social, Moral, and Economic
Necessity" Referring to the carpenters
strike he said: 1.-The labor organizations
of the country are devoted almost solely
to the eight hour idea. We have chosen
the carpenters as the first craft for which
to win the benefit. When they shall have
won, we shall demand it for the miners
and mine laborers.''
No progress toward settlement of the
carpenters strike was made to day. In
fact, a settlement seems further away than
ever. 1t was understood that. as soon as
the new bosses association should become
strong enough to employ 1000 men, work
by that number should be resumed. To-
day, however, the strike leaders say that
| under no circumstances will any of the
| men be allowed to return to work until
bosses representing seven-eighths of the
employing capacity of the city have given
IN and recognized the union. 1t Is not
likely that this will be done soon. The
citizens committee appointed to bring
about settlement of the trouble has
given up the idea of conference with the
strikers, owing to this radical change in
their position.
SAN FRANcIsco, April 21.-Ten nom
union molders employed at the Risdon
Iron Works, were taken out for airing
uDder the protection of special officers
yesterday afternoon. Some of them were
taken for ride through the park to
Ocean beach, while others were escorted
around town and across the bay to Oak
land. They we're all safely back in the
works at o'clock last night. During
the evening the striking molders received
Information which led thel to believe
for time that new patch of Eastern
men would arrive here before this morn
ing, and extra precautions were taken to |
intercept them. The pickets on watch at
the various foundrles were doubled, and |
men were stationed at the different docks
along the water front. At last, however
the strikers came to the conclusion that
the expected men could not arrive be-
fore to day, and they reduced their force
of watchers, but instructed those left on
duty to send word to their headquarters
at the fist intimation of the approach of
the new men. The molders say they are
gaining new courage in the fight, and
surely except to gain their ends. If is re-
ported that several of the manufacturers
show disopition to take their old hands
back to work, ald when the time which
they have agreed to stand by the associ.
alton, said to be from sixty to ninety
days, expires, it is claimed they will not
renew their agreement, but will open
their shops.
SAN Francisco, April 21.--It is SAID
that three-fourths of the builders of this
city and in Oakland have signifed their
to adopt the eight hour system
on and after May 1. OF the remaining
fourth. none express themselves as being
opposed to the movement, but remain
and are evidently awaiting
developements. 1t is said that no trouble
will arise between the men and the
Builders Association. over the enforce
ment of the system. The question of
wages, 1t Is believed, will not cut much
Df figure in the movement, as among
.he members of the building trades wages
are regulated chiefly by the supply aud
demand for labor. Each individual
member of the trades will make his own
terms with his employer, governed to
certain extent, by his union. A mass
meeting under the auspices of the eight
hour league will take place at Metropol-
IAN Temnle next Saturday.
