A GENERAL STRIKE.
Threatened Among the wage Workers Of
S'l:ic2po.


Chicago.
CHICAGO, March l4.-I'he prospect is
fairly good for general strike among the
wage-earncrs of this city. Agitation has
already begun and y feeling Of restless
ness is apparent among The workers in
every branch of trade. Meetings, some
open and many secret. are being held
nightly. a bis demonstration has al
ready been planned for May |. and each
day sees arrive from the East a number OF
agtators, each with plan for the benefit
Of the workingman The strikes Of last
summer were singularly unsuccessful
owing to fact that they were precipitat-
ed at IL time when The unions were weak
and unable TO stand the pressure Of a pro-
longed struggle. The iron workers aud
cabinet workers Are well organized and
more united in their dcmands The en-
plovers are not now able to stand II Tie up
with any degree Of comfort. owing TO the
fact that the near approach OF the day set
for the opening oi The Worlds Fair makes
it imperative for all work to progress,
steadily. The carpenters, although very
strongly organized and well provided with
funds are TO have the hardest struggle for
victory. There are many contractors
who will not enter into any agreement
that binds them TO pay the union scale OF
wages. Against these men the contrac
tors who do pay the scale can not success
fully compete. TIE cabinet makers are
exerting themselves to strengthen their
union in every quarter OF the city. They
openly assert that they will soon renew
the demands made last season. and de-
clare that they are now inily able TO bring
the manufacturers TO their terms

MIR. BONES EMPLOYEES.
Explanation of His Position in Regard
to the Mems Pay.

Complaint has been made in the squirrels
court and elsewhere showing certain
alleged charges against Building Inspector
Dohl. The following facts have been
ascertained by which the public can judge
what grounds exist for the charges. The
chief complainant is an employe of Mr..
DohPs while the latter was overseeing the
work of building the south race wall. lie
states that the Water Department paid Mr..
Dohl given amount for wages for the
men and that instead of paying that sum
he kept a certain amount per week from
the wages account for himself.
AT the water department the following
was learned Tuesday morning.
When first employed by the department
rs Il contractor for the work the regular
price for nasons and laborers was paid
Mr.. Dohl Just the same as other contrac-
tors He furnished everything on certain
contract price. Later, far short time, lie
vas employed experimenting the men.
The labor bill was paid monthly and Dohl
paid his men by the week. Under the old
arrangement he was charging 40 cents per
hour for masons, 2S cents for helpers, and
20 cents for laboring men. Under the
new arrangement the department paid him
So a day for masons 80 for helpers and
laborers got 81. so per day.
Inspector Dohl says the above statement
is all right. He has done no injustice to
anyone. His bargain with the department
was to furnish the laborers and masons at
the market price of labor. In regard to
the helpers, as he (Nir. Dolly had to fur
nish the tools, mortar and cement boxes,
shovels, mortar hoes, &C., he made de-
duction to these men OF from Sl2 to SIC
per week on account of this expense To
himself. This he explained he would
have to do. The helpers (three in mum
berl took the pay. He could not furnish
the men who mixed mortar with his CON
tractors tools for nothing under the
second arrangement when he himself re-
ceived nothing for their use and was act
ing as superintendent only and not as a
contractor.
One OF the men who had been employed
by the building inspector for seven years
appeared at Squire Smiths office where he
made his complaint. There was nothing
for the squire to do but tell the man he
had accepted the $40 week lay. AND
that ends the matter so far as any litiga,
ton is concerned
