Not Man in the Illinois Coal Districts ss
Work---Conference Failure.
CHICAGO, May 5.-There will be no
more coal dug in any Of the northern or
middle, OF in some Of the southern coal
districts Of Illinois for an indefinite pe-
riod. This Is the result Of the three
days conference between the operators
and miners which has been in progress
at the Coal Exchange in this city. When
the joint committee met it was thought
that all it had to do to bring about an
amicable settlement Of all differences
between the two parties and so prevent
any strike during the year was to per-
fest plan agreed to upon the evening
before to
ADOPT THE PROFu-sHARING SYSTEM.
During the night, however, she opera
tors discovered that they had left out Of
their calculation the day laborers, and
II they too had to have share Of the
profits at the figures upon which the
plan was based, there would be no profit
left satisfactory to the mine. owners.
The miners, however, insisted upon hav-
ing the per centage Of profits they had
been contemplating. After three hours
Of discussion the committee reported to
the convention that it had been
UNABLE 70 ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING,
and shortly after the Joint convention
adjourned Gne die. The miners went
into executive session, and after four
hours deliberation, decided to strike.

MORE STRIKES.
Mccormick Harvester Works Men and
Planning MIL Men Out.


CHICAGO, May 5.--The iron molden
and their helpers in most Of the large
manufacturing establishments Of the
city: including the McCormick harvest
ing machine works, "Black Road" the
scene Of so much turbulence and rioting
four years ago, went out ON strike for
the eight-hour day and uniform rate
OF wages. The strikers have posted
pickets about the different works and
say that any attempt to put non-union
men at work will be met by deter
mined resistance. The Illinois Steel
company granted it's 200 molders the
eight-hour day and averted a strike.
The Fairbank Canning company has re-
fused the demands Of it's 500 employees
tor the eight-hour day, and strike will
be inaugurated Monday. Eighty COOP
ers in this establishment have struck.
FLAMING MILL MEN OUT.
All the employees in the planning mill
establishments Of the southwest side
also struck for the eight hour day and
eight hours pay Before night, the
strikers claim, every planning mill en-
ploye in the city, numbering all the way
from 20, 900 to 81, 900 men will strike.
-Four hundred employees in G. J. J..
Meyer & Sons sash door and blind fac
tory struck for q nine-hour day and it is
reported that the employees Of a number
OF other sash factories have also struck,
making the same demand as the en-
ployes Of the Meyer factory. There will
be q meeting between the employers
and the sasn workers and there Is q pros
pect OF their agreeing upon q compro-
mise.
QUIET ON THE BLACK ROAD.
CHICAGO, May 5.--Everything was
quiet during the afternoon on the 7Black
road The striking molders have made
no effort to procure a meeting with the
employers, and the latter are In absolute
ignorance Of what is demanded. The
bulk Of the men also do not seem to
know their own mind, and say that they
struck because ordered by their leaders
to do 60. The whole affair has the ap-
pearance Of being simple case Of strike
fever. The authorities apprehend no
further disturbance, but the neighbor-
hood is well patrolled by officers, and
any incipient outbreak will be speedily
repressed. So far the strike has not

IN THE OTHER TRADES.
The men employed in the Goodwillie
box factory struck for eight in the morn
ing. At noon their demands were &C.
ceded to and they returned to work.
The men at the Cooper Lumber COM
pany's yards were also victorious. The
firm agreed to grant the eight hour day
and the men went to work at noon.
Four hundred men employed by Dem
ma 8 Durka's furniture factory struck
for eight hours. Seven hundred men
employed by the Chicago Cottage Organ
company are also affected by the strike
fever and refuse to work unless granted
the eight hour day.
Trouble is brewing In the lumber
yards, and the prospect is that unless
granted eight hours and more pay the
lumber shovers-several thousand men
will quit work. If these men strike it
will shut down work in most Of the
yards and tie up all the Southwestern

is first-clsss carbonates mixed with fine
grade Of galena ore. The ore body is
about 20 feet wide at present writing and
10 about 176 feet from the incline shaft.
The shaft 10 about 100 feet deep with tons
Of first class carbonate ore on the dump.
The mines are still sinking ON the incline
and are also driving the header of the
tunnel with three shifts. There Ia about
fifty toms Of ore now ON the tunnel dump.
The ore is all clean carbonate. There

They brought some Eieces Of the float in

The ore shute found in the tunnel is
an Independent one from the ore shute
in the incline shaft, and at this writing
Supt. Maloney is preparing to find the
extent of the ore body found in the tun-
mel. There has been some good mining
done In the driving of the tunnel, as the
ground run through was bad ground to
run and had to b breast boarded and
Jagged close up, as they had river Of

CH1c4oo, May b.-The great carpenters
strike is finally settled 30 far as the new
bosses association is concerned. Fully
4O00 iourneymen carpenters will 90 to
work by Thursday. The arbitration com-
mittee of the new bosses association and
the strikers met this evening and settled
the last detail. The iourneymen achieved
almost 9 sweeping victory. They made
concession on but two points. The only
disappointment was that the stubbornness
of the. old masters association has
left its members wholly out of the
final deal. The official statement of the
terms Of settlement will not be issued until
tomorrow, but it is reliably stated that the
document provides for an eight-hour day,
overtime only to be allowed between GER
tain stipulated hours at night. The mini
mum rate of wages is made at 35 cents per
hour up to August and thereafter at 37155
cents. Overtime is to be rated at time and
q half and Sunday time as double time.
In the matter of apprentices CONCESSIONS
were made by both sides. The employ ers
agree to employ only union men, even for
fOremen.

Threat Of the Chicago Strikers to Involve

CHICAGO, May 5.-According to the pre-
dictions of the stock yards coopers there is
a probability of their cause being taken up
by the English laborers and the strike be-
coming international. At a meeting of the
Brotherhood of United Labor to-day a
committee was appointed to communicate
with John Burns. the English labor leader,
and request him to order English long
shoremen not to handle any beef or any
product shipped by Chicago houses. The
conmitsse say Rurus has taken great inter
est il. the cause of the men at the yards.
The men in an open letter say that by the
terms of their agreement, signed after
the great strike of 1886, they
are subject to discharge without
warming. while in case of quitting they
must give two weeks notice or forfeit ten
days pay, which the employers Withhold.
Sometimes, they say, they are only given
two or three days work per week, but are
compellad 70 remain or lose their forfeit
money. Hnd are compelled to work Sundays.
If a man is two minutes late in the morn
ing, he is docked an hours pay, but if work
is finished before the close of the day, he is
not paid for full day.
