| lUUU union man Tn the VarlOuS building trades, today quit work on strike and 4G00 more may go out before night. The men assert th6t the cause of the strike is that the Worlds Fair officials refused to keep an agreement to refer all dis puted points to arbitration, and refuse point blank anything asked by the work men. The fair officials say that on the contrary, the workmen are takirg ad- vantage of the last days of hurrying the completion of the work to squeeze the exposition managers, and to violate an agreement heretofore made by it to em ploy only union men on the grounds.
 Nearly all the union men obeyed the order to strike this morning and dele gates met inside the grounds and pur- suaded most of the non-union men to quit work.

 Very soon there came repeated calls for patrol wagons and officiOus repre- sentatIves of the strikers were hustled out of the grounds. This made the strikers outside of the grounds begin to indulge in threats, and finally began attacking non-union men who refused to be persuaded not to go to work. Occur rences of this sort soon became numer- ous and squad of policemen came and drove the strikers away from the gates, not, however, without resistance, result ing in several hard cracks over the dis orderly mems heads.
 By p. m. ful y 4000 men were out including probably over dozen trades | To make the matter worse, at this iuncture, one third of the employees of the installation department 200 in num- Der knocked of. They were teamsters, and had been getting dollar and sixty cents per day and demanded two dol lars, which was refused and tEey quit. The strike leaders are confident of success tnd the managers of the ex- position say they will have DO difficulty in filling the strikers places. A meeting of the Fair directors and the strike | leaders is in session this afternoon.
