blood.

A COLLISION AT MlRsrrrIrs
A GENERAL FERMENT.
Bat No Disposition Among workingmen
Themselves to Make Trouble.

iBy Anglo-American cable 70 the Dispatchl
LONDON, Enc, May 1.-Innumerable tele-
grams from all parts of the Continent re-
ceiyed mp 10 midnight show that while
there was general ferment the working
men nowhere showed disposition Of tnem-
selves to cause trouble or loss of the SYM
pathy of the public by illegal manitesta-
tions. Neither have the predictions of q
universal strike been fulfilled. On the
contrary, though numbers of workmen took
holiday, even on the pain of dismissal. in
order TO Join the processions-mainly con-
fined to miners, the natural leaders in the
eight-hour movement-Monday will see
most of them resuming their vocations
with but few lockouts.
ALL OUTBREAKS CAUSED By ANARCHISTS.
The Anarchists eagerly seized the chance
to air their doctrines, with the added zest
of possible scuffle with the authorities,
and the outbreaks recorded were in
variably due to their efforts and doubtless
would have been more effectual but for
the admirable police and military prepa-
rations. ...
MERELY COINCIDENCE.
The fact that the first meeting of the
Labor Commission was held on May-day
is merely a coincidence. The English
workers are waiting for Sunday. The Lon
don carpenters and ioiners commenced a
strike tonight. Germany has been almost
equally quiet. The meetings were sparsely
attended. Those men who remained at
work were given a days pay from the
general strike fund. In Austria and Hun
gary the day was taken up with merely
holiday diversions. At Bekes the military
were called upon TO quell Socialist riot,
and several persons were wounded. The
total number of arrests is 100.

RICHMOND MEN SATISFIED.
Most OF Them Work Nine Hours n Day
for Fair Compensation.

Tor Fair Compensation.
In Richmond there was no cognizance
whatever taken of the lst of MAY, from a
labor standpoint. All of the artisans pur-
sued the even tenor of their way, SEEM
ingly satisfied with their hours OF work
and compensation therefor.
The plasterers union, nearly all of
whom are negroes. had threatened to de-
msnd eight hours after yesterday, but
several OF them when asked about il said
they knew nothing of it.
THE BUILDING TRADES.
Among the four great building trades
that is, the bricklayers, carpenters. stone
cutters, and painters-no discomfort what
ever was shown.
The bricklayers, whose union has lately
been reorganized aud largely increased
are satisfied with their nine hours Gas for
the past three years.. for which they re-
ceive from SO to S4.50per day, according TO
the style of work
The stone-cutters Will continue as. for
the past five years to work for nine hours
per day, for which they are paid S3. Their
local union has 200 members and the ma
tional body 5000.
The house painters made no demand.
They also work nine hours, and receive 81
per day. Some time ago an unsuccessful
demand was made for So per day for espe-
clally dangerous jobs.
As for the last three years, nine hours
will still constitute days work tor the
200 carpenters composing the union.
Their wages, as fixed by the union, are ac-
cording to rating g-S2.25, $3.50, and So per
day-though a majority of mechanics of
this class get less than these prices.
There are thirteen other trade unions in
the city, the mem bers of most of which
work ten hours and are paid accor dinghy.

Methods of Procedure.
tBy Anglo-American cable TO the Dispatch.l
LONDON, Eng, May 1.-The first meeting
of the Royal Labor Commission, appointed
TO inquire into the relations existing be-
tween capital and labor, and into the
causes of strikes and the best means to be
taken in order to avoid them. took place
most appropriately to-day. What trans
pired at the meeting is not known, as the
meeting was held in private. 1t is Judged,
however, that the commission simply
talked over the plans for its future meet
ings. and arranged other details OF its per.
manent organization. Several members OF
the commission at the meeting held this
morning advocated that the public should
be admitted to the sessions OF the commits
sion. and as a result of their representa-:
tons it is thought that at least part of
the meetings will be open to the pubic.
A subcommittee was appointed to con-
slider the hours of procedure and the best
method of conducting the inquiry into the
labor troubles, etc.
