deemed b. congress as cleaned rice, -

Chicago, May 5-The strike of the
building trades has spread beyond Chi

work in number of other cities Today
the officers of the Plumbers union and

men claimed 10 have received word
from all the places that the men had
stopped work.
The situation in this Cit: is more
strained tonight than at any time since
the trouble began. At meeting of the
master steamfitters organization it was
decided that it would not grant the adj
vance, but many members of the or
ganzation made individual agreements
with the men after the adjournment of
the meeting.

ultimatums and say that they are pre-
pared TO sink or swim on the PROPOSE

DUTY ON HIDES.

Western Members of the House Pre-
pairing to Fight the Proposition.
Washington. Nav Western MEM
bers OF the house are preparing to make
a strong stand for the retention of the
duty on hides in the tariff bill, if that
feature is adopted by the senate. There
was a strong sentiment in favor of
protection for hides in the house when
the bill was before that body. but no
opportunity was given the house to
vote on that question. a vote being
permitted on those amendments only
which were proposed by the ways and
means committee. In the committee
itself a proposition was made to put
duty on hides when the Dingley bill
was in preparation. and the proposal
failed by a majority of only two votes.
With such a narrow margin against
the duty on hides in the committee, the
western men feel confident that they
can carry their point when the question
comes to a vote in the house. particu-
larly as they are assured of the CO.
operation of some Democrats.
