TOILERS' TROUBLES.
COMPLICATED STRIKE SITUATION
AT PITTSBURG.
The Sky, However, Frightening in the
Strikers Favor-San Francisco Iron
Molders' Strike Becoming Tedious.

PITTsBURG, April 1S.-A new feature
of the strike situation is the probability
of strike of the street railway en-
ployees at the same time the other rail-
way employees GO out. They are con-
sidering the advisability of making a
simultaneous demand for higher wages.
AS the result of conference today, it
is said by the leading men Of both sides
that the difficulty will probably be set
tied without strike.
A move that will likely break the
backbone of the threatened strike was
made tonight by the Panhandle Com
pany A committee of employees pre-
sented demand for change of wages
and hours. Superintendent Turner
promised to see their demands con-
,ceded. 1t is probable the other roads
will follow suit and avert a strike. The
question of the recognition of the feder-
alton, however, is still unsettled and
may cause trouble.
The Iron Molders.
SAN Francisco, April 18.-The seventh
week of the iron-molders strike con-
cludes tomorrow, and a revival of the
waning interest will probably occur
owing to the expectation that thirty or
forty Eastern men will arrive tomorrow
or Sunday. or may be the day after
The strikers are taking extraordinary
precautions against such contingency
Agents of the strikers in all the cities
on the route and in all places
in the State have been advised to
use great watchfulness and care, and ex-
horted to give prompt advices whenever
the coming men are sighted. OF course
no information of valuable character
can be gathered from the foundrymen as
to the time when the expected men will
arrive. Otherwise the situation is ex-
tremely quiet among both parties, and
the question of arbitrating the troubles
seems to have been wholly abandoned.
Portland Carpenters Demands.
PORTLAND, April 1S.-At meeting of
the Builders Federated Trades, the car
penters submitted proposition de-
manding that carpenters, plumbers,
metal-roofers and painters be paid
So per day for eight hours
work, and non union men be
not employed. This is an ultimatum.
The Builders Association decided by a
unanimous vote not to accede the de-
mands. There are in the city 700 nom
union and only 500 union carpenters.
The former held meeting and decided

Severe no the Sheriff.

New YORK, April, 1S.-The general
term of the Supreme Court has affirmed
the decision of the special term, setting
aside certain confessed judgments and
the assignment of Schwab 4 Sons, lace
merchants. Judge Barrett's opinion
was very severe in criticism of the
Sheriff's Office methods. He said the
Shs .T's sale was sham; the preferred
creditors pretended to purchase the bulk
of the goods, but never paid penny or
received penny's worth of goods. The
pretended partnership between the
brothers was as transparent as the sale
and all that preceded it.
