TANNERS ON A STRIKE.
Two Thousand Men Out at Chicago
Trouble is Over the Length
Of a Working Day.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 30.-Two thousand
men employed by the different tanneries
in the city went out on a strike today.
This action was unanimously decided
upon at a mass meeting of tannery en-
ployes held last night. About 200 men
went out yesterday. A final effort was
made at the meeting to induce the men to
submit their case to the new state board
of arbitration, but without success.
The strike is over a question of hours
of labor, the employers insisting on a ten
hour working day, instead of eight hours
as at present. The men struck about two
months ago but returned to work pending
an attempt at settlement by arbitration,
but the recent removal of the other board
by the governor while the case was still
under discussion threw everything back
to its original state. Many of the bosses,
it is claimed, have decided not to here
after recognize the unions and will put a
ten-hour day into effect next week.

of the Dingley tariff bill the House neg

the Mckinley rate Of 1 cent per pound

feet out in the lake, where excavation
was in progress for a water supply inlet.
An unusually heavy blast had been pre-
pared by the men. The fuse had been
lighted and the warning given the men
to get at a safe distance. O'Malley and
Gallagher stayed behind for an instant
and were within but a few feet when the
explosion occurred. They received the
full force of the blast and were literally
blown to pieces. hayes, Conway and
Thomas Gallagher had run considerable
distance when the explosion occurred and
ordinarily would have been out of the
reach Of the force of the blast. This
time, however, the flying rocks and debris
seemed to have more than ordinary force,
and beside being burned by the explosion,
the men were crushed and bruised by
heavy stones and masses of clay.
