tions and cheaper labor, and especially
commend those features of the Mckinley
bill, which provide for the protection of
farm products, as well as manufactured
articles"

The Carpenters strike at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. ga strike of carpen-
tiers was begun here yesterday. in which
1t 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 1000 to 1000, but the
strike is not 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 371I cents per hour. Any
man can now work for any boss at any
