MORE TROUBLE AT CHICAGO
SQUABBLE OVER BUILDING THE
DEWEY DAY GRAND STAND.
Militia Called Out to Prevent Striking
Italians mt the CrOtOn Dam
from Creating Disturbances.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 14.-The Order of
Railroad Telegraphers tonight declared a
boycott on the Sothern Railway and hope
to make it effective through the ticket and
freight agents of the United States and
the Federation of Labor kilograms were
sent tonight by President Powell to twenty
thousand ticket and freight agents in the
United States, asking them to route pas
sengers and freight via other lines than
the Southern pending the present trouble.
A message was also sent President Com
pers, of the Federation of Labor, request
ing him to boycott the railway.
President Powell claims the strike to-
night is more effective than at any time
since it's inception. He assigns as a reason
for the running of passenger trains by the
Southern the abandonment of the freight
traffic.
The railway people here say that both
passenger and freight traffic is moving
with but trifing delay, and that if it were
not for the newspapers they would not be
aware of any strike.
A south-bound local freight and work
train came into collision to-day on the Mo-
bile division of the Southern Railway near
Thomasville, Ga, both locomotives being
ruined and a fireman injured. The wreck
was caused by the absence of operators.

MILITIA CALLED OUT.
Italian LabOrers Causing Trouble at
the CrOton Dnm.

CROTON LANDING, n. ". April IA
There is plenty of trouble brewing at the
Croton dam between the striking Italians.
who are clamoring for more wages. and
the contractors. who are steadfast in re-
fusing any concessions. All day to-day 1t
was expected that bloody work would oc-
cur. but not stone was thrown nor shot
fired. Sheriff Malloy. of westchester coun-
ty, who has the responsibility of protect
ing the property in the district, had $50
deputies armed with revolvers guarding
the works all day.
Only once did the deputies have a chance
of showing their authority. This was when
an attempt was made TO pull out locomo-
tive from the roundhouse to draw load
of coal up to the steam pump. The strik-
ers, about 500 strong, who were on the hill
near by, charged down on the deputies.
who scattered quickly, and the engineer
quit his post. There is very little prospect
of the strikers allowing outsiders to fill
their places, and as Sheriff Malloy has
called out the local militia, who will arrive
here tomorrow night, a clash may occur
on Monday morning when the working
whistles blow. Commissioner Delehanty,
of the Board of Mediation and Arbitration,
arrived this afternoon. He held a consul
tation with Italian Consul Branchi.
Contractor Brenehand, Superintendent
Goldsborough, Under Sheriff Freeman,
Commissioner Delehanty and Consul Bran
chi advised the contractors to split the
difference with their striking employees, but
the bosses were immovable and said they
would not pay any more money than the
present scale called for. They asserted that
they could get all the laborers they wanted
at the existing rates. The commissioner
will redouble his efforts tomorrow to ef-
feet a compromise, and the clergymen in
the several local churches have promised
to try and bring about an amicable settle
ment of the trouble by advising remedial
measures and concessions at the Easter
Sunday services tomorrow.

PITTsBURG DISTRICT MINERS.
Another Committee Named to Confer
with OperatOrs.


PITTSBURG, Pa. April H.-Suspension
and anxiety still prevail as far as the coal
mining situation in the Pittsburg district
is concerned. The miners after hot ses-
sion of three days have adjourned. The
only thing accomplished is the appoint
ment of new committee to take up the
principal bone of contention--the day wage
scale. The new committee, which is COM
posed Of men supposed TO represent the
dissatisfied element. is expected to again
confer with the officials of the coal COM
panies and make a report early in the
week.
With the appointment of the new COM
mittee the officials, the executive board,
and the original scale committee are
ignored The delegates have run away
from the officials. They think they can
make better settlement, and the result
cannot be conjectured. In the meantime,
some of the men will be at work Monday
morning while a large number will be idle,
pending the report of the new committee
Fears are entered that the dissatisfaction
will spread, and the coal supply be ma
terially reduced.
When the convention went into session
to-day the committee named yesterday
made its report. 1t was to the effect that
the two coal companies will pay the scale
as agreed on according to their interpreta-
tion. The operators insist on taking the
Hooking Valley scale basis which the
workers insist does not give the day men
the advance of 20 per cent. The coal COM
panies agreed to rectify any just causes
for complaint. They further insisted on
the adoption of the of the mine sys-
tenn when the contracts for the coal supply
demanded If

was brilliant with color and animation.
The immense circus-shaped hall is dec
Grated with magnificent frescoes, repre-
senting allegorical subjects. by famous
artists, and its stained glass cupola,
bears superb designs by Hermann and
Goodwin. 1t formed a beautiful setting
for to-days ceremony. Every inch of the
floor space was occupied by an assemblage
representative of French arts, letters and
sciences, and including the leading mill
tary, naval and political men of France. 1t
was mainly an evening dress gathering
but with the taste characteristic of the
French nation brilliant uniforms of SOL
diers, the diplomatic corps and Republican
guards were so interspersed among the
gathering that, with masses of pretty
spring toilettes of the ladies'. of whom
there were almost as many as men pres
ent, the scene was particularly bright and
effective. Moreover. the light radiated
down through the stained glass of the
dome-shaped roof in streams which illum-

varied tints 20 even the prosaic starched
shirt fronts. Contrary TO expectation, the

KNOXVILLE. Tenn. April 1.-THE Or
der OF Railway Telegraphers' strike re-
mains practically as it was yesterday. Lo-
cal trains on this division are being ham,
died on time and all through trains re-
ceived are being taken through at regu-
lar time, but are late. Superintendent {.
Z. Ewing, of the Knoxville division, says
only twenty-eight men have struck on his
division, while Strike Organizer T. w.
Lusk claims forty-seven are out and that
four more will go out tomorrow.
At Sweetwater last night wires were cut
and the telegraph station stoned, doing
damage to windows. Superintendent Ewing
offers $500 for the arrest and conviction of
the guilty parties and the same amount
for any others who may hereafter be found
guilty of the offense. One wire was un-
touched at Sweetwater, and that happened
to be a railroad wire. The Western Union
wires were all cut.

TROUBLE OVER A GRAND STAND.


CHICAGO. April H.-Complications sim
liar to those which arose last fall between
union labor organizations and contractors
over the cutting of the cornerstone of the
new Chicago postofice, laid by President
Mckinley. may result from the decision
to-day of the committee in charge of the
erection of the grandstand for the Dewey
celebration, May I, to accept the offer of
the Building Contractors Council and the
Master Carpenters and Builders Associa-
ton to furnish the necessary material,
erect the stand, and remove the structure
without cost to the committee. The offer
of the contractors and master carpenters
and builders was made with the under
standing that they use any labor they may
see fit, and as yesterday they issued
public manifesto that they would not en-
ploy union labor under any circumstances
on contracts now under way in different
parts of the city, as a result of the present
difficulties with organized labor. 1t is con-
sidered probable that the work of erecting
the stand will have to be done under po-
lice protection.
Although no formal offer to build the
stand was made by the carpenters union.
it was said that the organization had inti-
mated to a member of the committee that
the union would be willing to erect the
stand upon the same terms offered by the
contractors. The union, however. failed TO
present its offer in writing. The Master
Carpenters ard Builders Union is COM
posed of many of the wealthiest contrac-
tors in the city. Under their agreement
they will build the grand stand with their
own hands. Veteran contractors who have
not held a hammer or saw in their hands
for years will don overalIs and take an
active part in the work OF construction.
Work will be begun on the structure during
the coming week. Chairman Theurer. of
the COMMITTEES. said to-day that the COM
