STRIKE NOT GENERAL.
Most OF the Boss PIasterers at Chicago
Are Signing Agreements.

Chicago, March 9.-Five hundred
plasterers and over 800 hodcarriers left
their work Monday morning and went
out on a strike. No general strike has
as yet been declared and as most OF
the boss plasterers are signing agree
ments with the unions to pay the old
scale of wages there is little probability
of there being a general strike OF all
the crafts represented in the building
trades council.
M. Roach, president of the Journey
men Plasterers union, and Herman LII
liam, business agent of the Hodcarriers'
union, were appointed a committee TO
stay at the rooms of the building trades
council 1877 Washington street, and re-
ceive the boses as they came to settle
the trouble. Several have already WIS.,
tied the rooms and signed agreements.
AS fast as the bosses have declared their
intentions of signing the agreements
men have been detailed to go to work
under them.
