New York, March 29. "A strike Of
the steam filters in this city, in which
between 30, 600 and 60, 600 men may be
involved, was declared to-day. when
over l, 100 steam filters refused to go to
work in their shops. The strike is the
result OF practical lockout on the
part of the bosses. The latter announced
on Saturday that the agreement
hitherto existing between themselves
and their employees would no longer be
considered and that those who wished
to report for work this morning, must
sign new rules The men have refused
to sign and 80 the strike is on.
The larger firms where the lockout
and strike is in progress are: G. A..
Suter & CO.. so men; Gillis & Geoghan.
150 men; Baker d Smith, 200 men;
Blake g. Williams, 100 men; Morris &
johnson, 100 men. and Wells & Newton,
100 men. Besides there are number
of smaller shops where work ia at
staudstil.
The members of the Steam Filters
Union believe that the notice given by
tine bosses on Saturday. that tbe agree
ment between the Master Filters Asso-
citation and the Enterprise and Pro-
eressiye Associations was at an end,
owing to its violation by the working
men, was issued by the bosses because
of the steam filters going on strike at
the Columbia University. buildings
and other structures and because OF
that unions fight with the Plumbers
Union over the control of the ther-
mostatiu work. This latter trouble, it
was thought, would be settled by
arbitration, in which Bishop Potter
would be the rsferes.
Thomas Cunningham and Thomas
Hume, walking delegates of the Steam
Filters Association, and James Nugent,
delegate for the helpers, declare that IL
the old agreement existing between
their association and the bosses has
been violated at all it has been violated
by the bosses alone. William j.
O'Brisn, another labor leader, de-
clares that the steam filters will bs
backed up by every building traio
represented by the board OF walking
delegates. The result may be the
cessation of work ON every building in
course of erection in the city. 3
The Master Filters Association con-
trolls about three-fourths of the steam
fitting work done in the city. The
associations agreement with the men
did not expire until August next. The
union rate of wages for an eight hour
day is So, 80 for steamfitters and So for
helpers.

CHIEF DoLAN STEPS OUT.


His Resignation Tendered to the Fpiice
Commissioners and Accepted.
The rumors current on the streets for
several days past to the effect that
Chief of Police John f. Dolan had
rendered bis resignation to the Board
of Police Com nissioners were verified
at the meeting of the board Monday,
when the resignation was rendered to
take effect on April 18th. and after
long discussion. accepted.
The action was great surprise to
HE many friends, as while it was known
for some time that the chief had
become dissatisfied with his position
the rumors that he intended to resign
were received in host instances in
credulously.
His successor was not named Monday
night ana the appointment may not be
made until after the term of Com
missioner Patrick Monaghan has ex
pired. The matter OF succession is
causing much conjecture, and it is
thought the position will fall to either
Capt. Thomas A. Hane or Capt. Robert
Chambers. AS the latter has already
announced himself as not candidate
for the position the general opinion
seems to be that Capt. Kane will be
rendered the place.
The retiring chief has been at the
bead of the department since May, list.
1893. when the present police com
mission was created by an act of the
Legislature. Under his cnarge the force
has been made one of tho most efficient
in the country. He was former SER
goant of police and his experience in
that capacity stood him in good stead
in the management of tho men under
him. He has been courteous and
obliging at all times to those thrown in
contact with him. and none will miss
him more than the newspaper repre-
septatives. lie was well liked by all
the officers on the force, for, while he
always enforced the strictest discipline,
be was ever ready to listen to reason
able excuse sor any breach of the rules.
