Strikers Are Granted.
ST. LOUIS, May 1.-The carpenters
and joiners have once more scored a
victory against their employers. Two
years ago they fought for 35 cents an
hour and an eight-hour day, and won.
To-day they asked 40 cents an hour and
got it, All the carpenters in the
city were yesterday notified to re-
port at headquarters at 10 a. m.
to-day under penalty of a heavy fine
for nOn-appearance, with a consequence
that the hall was crowded to overflow
ing when the meeting was called to
order. They got down to work right
away, and the first thing done was the
reading of reports to their demands
from their bosses. Out of $50 bosses
who received the demands. 272 have
granted the advance, ten have refused
and the balance have not yet been heard
from. The men were ordered to report
for duty to those bosses who have con-
ceded the demands, while the others
have been Instructed to remain out TIL
the advance is granted.
The architectural iron workers to the
number of $50 men have gone out for
eight hours day and an advance in
wages of from three and a half cents 10
seven and half cents an hour, according
to grade of work. The marble settlers, who
are members of the Association of Mar
blecutters Of the United States, have
struck for an advance of 25 cents a day.
They notified the bosses some time ago
of their demand and received verbal
answers from some Of the bosses agree
ing to the raise, but the men wanted
written contracts and also want
their employers to recognize
eight hours as days work
The st. Louis team owners, 500 strong,
have won their fight against their en-
ployers. They asked for 81 day and
got it. The shet iron and cornice workers
and the carriage makers VIII hold meet
ings tomorrow night to consider the
question as to whether or not the would
strike. The East St. Louis hod car
riers' association has requested re-
adjustment of wages and it is reported
that they will strike next Monday un-
less their demands are acceded to-

THE RED FLAG.
IT Figures Prominently in the New
York Demonstration.

York Demonstration.
NEW YORK. May I.-Small armies of
men, marching to the tune of the Mar
sellaise and other airs, carrying aloft
re- flags and transparencies, the latter
denouncing all monopolies, approached
Union square tonight from various di-
rectiOns to participate in the great eight
hour labor demonstration held under
the auspices of the Central Labor Fed
Grafton and the Soclalistic labor
party. 1t was estimated that there
were 5000 people i'll the park, and
in front OF the plaza and dt side stands
on Broadway and on Fourth avenue.
The police arrangements consisted of
about Seventy-fve f0otmen, TWENTY-FIVE
mounted and lot of detectives and
Central office men in citizens dress
were also scattered through the crowd
In case of any emergency. The main
speakers stand was at the cottage on
the plaza on Seventeenth street. Here
the English speakers talked, while
speeches were delivered in German aud
Hebrew from stands on Broadway and
on Fourth avenue. Many women were
crowded in the throng. As each
union OF delegation arrived on the
scene the flags and banners carried by
the leaders were ranged about the cot
tage. The haring torches and red flags
of the Socialistic bodies, the upturned
faces of thousands of wage workers,
made picturesque and fearsome sort
OF sight. Shortly after o'clock the
meeting was called to order by Chair
man Lucien Laniel. While the chairman
was addressing the crowd, socialistic
labor unions continued to arrive in
small and large bodies. March
ing to the meeting, one of
the soclalistic bodies carried the
American flag with the union
down. Mr.. Laniel, when he had a
chance to speak, said that he hoped
the hearts of the working people would
be as stout as their lungs during the
conflict for eight hours. The universal
motto of labor is I'VE win, we shall.
we must" 1t was high time after a
century of advancement that labor had
its due. Labor was entitled to a share
of its products. 1t was time to unite
and get it. The first step to be accom-
pliShed was a reduction in the
hours of labor. AS men, they
should stand together, not as
citizens of the United States,
but as workers of the whole world
speakers had addressed the crowd
long preamble and series of denuncia-
tory resolutions were read at the main
stands. The features of this deliver
ance were: Endorsement of the de-
mands of the Paris convention; de-
mands for consolidation against capital:
statutory establishment of the eight
hour day: resort to political action to
attain the ends desired, and allegiance
to the soclalistic party. After the reso-
luti0ns were read, ii. q. Wiltshire. a
wealthy socialist from Los Angeles,
Cal. addressed the meeting his talk
was short, but to the point. He said
that a workman earned more in four
hours for his employers than be was
paid for working twelve hours, and pre-
dicted that the agitation for an eight
hour law was only the fOrerunner to
demand that four hours should be con-
sidered days labor. He declared that

OF the Chicago and Grand Trunk, which
became effective to-day, as a great vic
tory for the board Of rulings. The
Alton officials do not appear TO be in
tn least disturbed. General Passenger
Agent Charlton said: I'VE have un-
derstood from the first that the Van
dalia would be forced to take .hIs step.
We made all our calculations with that
understanding, and have all along re-
garded it as one of the lines arrayed
against us. AS a matter of fact, we
have treated it as such. l cannot see
that the board of rulings has anything
to crow over IN this accession to its
ranks, since it was a foregone conclu-
sion that the Vandala would take this
action. They will soon see that it makes
no difference in the Alton's business"

VANDALIA IN LINE.
1t Joins in the Boycott on the Chi
CagO & Alton

CHICAGO, May 1.-The Vandalia rail
road has joined the boycott against the
Chicago IL Alton. Official notice was
given by the general manager of that
line to-day that on and after May AL
ton tickets would not be honored by the
Vandalia, and that the order of the
board of rulings would be strictly
obeyed. Although the Vandalia is con-
trolled by the Pennsylvania company it
has heretofore refused to discontinue
passenger relations with the Alton, on
the ground that it could not afford to do
so while the Ohio & Mississippi and
other st. Louis lines declined to partci-
pate i'll the boycott. That it would
sooner or later be whipped into line was
expected by everybody, consequently
its action to-day created no surprise.
But the representatives of the Eastern
roads are disposed to be jubilant, and
they are pointing to the surrender Of

PARIS PEACEFUL,
But at Clichy Four Policemen
Were Fatally Injured

PARIS, May 1.-Everything is now
quiet except that few brawlers are oc-
casionalIy heard singing on their way
home. The socialist meeting in the
Sale Favre, of which so much
was expected, was a small af-
fair Some of the advertised
speakers were absent. A rumor current
last night that there had been a dyna-
mite explosion in NJ. Ferry's house
proved to be unfounded. The collision
between the mob and the force of police
and soldiers at Clichy proved a veritable
battle. All the anarchists in the mob had
revOlyers, which they used freely on the
police. The four wounded policemen are
expected to die. The explosion which
startled this city to-day occurred in the
house of Due de Trevise, situated in the
Rue Berry. There is no reason to be-
lieve that the explosion was the result
of private revenge against the
duke, and it is thought to
have been merely demonstration
on the part of the anarchists. An in
veStigation made soon after the occur
renee showed that big dynamite bomb
had been used. The report of the ex-
plosion was heard almost throughout
the entire city of Paris and was the
cause of much alarm to the people.

the soclalistic party was the only one
to which the workingmen should
owe allegiance. The resolutions
were adopted with a whoop and the
affair at the main stand was over. On
Broadway and Fourth avenue were

AN OLD FIGHT
To Be Resuscitated among North

To Be Resuscitated among North
western RaiIroaders.
The next great fight in Northwestern
railroad circles will commence Thurs
day. No one can tell when it will end,
for the subject to be considered is the
old one of commissions on east-bound
business. The parties summoned to
this conference by Chairman Finley are
the members of the Northwestern Pas
senger association. the st. Paul, Du-
luth, Minneapolis and Superior lines,
and the 500, Grand Trunk, Canadian
Pacific and Wabash lines. An attempt
will be made to at least force the 800"
to reduce its commissions, but like all
previous moves of the kind it will fail.
The ''SOo'' officials realize that for the
present the payment of commissions
does vast deal toward securing them a
share of the traffic, and they will be
very unlikely to let go.

ILLINOIS.
Everything at a StandstiIl in the
Du Quoine Coal Region.


DU QUOINE, H., May 1.-The most
stubbornly contested coal miners
strike ever had in this district was in
augurated this morning. The contest
is to enforce the law as to eight hours
for days work and pay every Satur-
day. The men say they will stay out
until the law is upheld and their de
mands granted. The operators say
the law is unjust and will
fight it to the United States su-
preme court. In accordance with
orders from the operators of the four
teen mines here all miners and mine la
bOrerS have cleaned up their various
places and taken out all their tools.
These mines have served notice that
they VIII lie idle until the first day Of
November and from to-day but one
mine, the Egyptian, will be running on
this prairie or in this district. This
mine is new one, pays its men weekly,
works the eight-hour day, and is
having all work done under
contract. Fully 1000 men will be di-
rectly Interested in this strike. which.
with their families, swelIs the total
number affected to $500 souls. A grand
May day picnic and labor day demon
stratiOn is being held in Locust grove
and the city park. Several noted labor
speakers Of Illinois are present. All
miners below here are also ordered out,
which will make this strike the most
stupendous one ever had in the state.
Out But No Strike.
OTTAWA, ILL.,, May 1.-The situation
in mining circles cannot be satisfactor-
lily digested. AT La Sale, ILL.,, all the
miners came out last night but to-day
say there is no strike. They claim that
they are simply obliged to take a rest
because the rumors of a strike have been
the cause of over production and glut-
ting the market. Manufacturers have all
put in large supplies in anticipation of
a shutdown. The MatthieSen and
Hegler shaft is idle notwithstanding
the fact that the zinc works, which
uses large portion of the output, have
not a large supply of coal mined.
Miners are very reticent. At StreatOr
a like condition of affairs exists with
the exception that labor demOnStra-
ton was held. Beyond few incen-
diary speeches no claim was made that
there was a strike on. The citizens are
uneasy, while the mine operators claim
that comparatively no differences exist
and that the miners will not be idle
long.
Operators Are Stubborn.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. May 1.-An the
coal miners in the Springfield sub-dis-
trict, about l,500 in number, are idle,
and President N. J. Goings, of the state
union of miners, says they will remain
so until the result is known of confer
ence, which will be held in Chicago
some day next week. The operators
here to-day posted a notice that here
after they will pay but 80 cents per ton
over an inch and a quarter screen. This
is ~ cents less than the price now
paid.
