CONNECTICUT MEN
JOIN THE TROUBLE

New Haven, May 21-Several thou
sand machinsts went on strike in Con
nccticut today for nine hour day, but
100 men only stopped work in this city.
Fifty men left the shops of Sargent &
Co. after being refused their demands.
The Kiddcr Motor Vehicle Company re-
ported that twenty men had left their
shop, and in several other places strikes
were declared. The men at Wnchester's
and in the railroad shops refused to
strike.
Word. was received that 1900 men had
gone out in Hartford, 500 in Waterbury,
200 in New Britain and 800 in Bridge
port. In each of these places headquar-
tiers were established by the men and
pickets posted to observe any deserters
or non-uniOn men.
In the Naugatuck Valley the briggs
Seabury Company, the Farrell Foundry
Company, the Whitlock Press Company
and several other large concerns closed
down rather than allow the men to
strike.
No trouble is reported at any place.
Half dozen firms here have agreed to
the terms Of the men and the same is re-
ported in other cities. Many firms have
asked for more time to consider the mat

O'CONNELL CHEERFUL,
Over 1000 Firms Have Signed the
Scale.
Settlements Reported From All Sec
ti0ns-Storm Centres in
the West

Washington, May 21.-The storm CEN
tres of the general strike Of machlnists
throughout the country today are in the
vicinity of Cincinnati, Ohio, and on the
Pacific Coast. The number of firms
that signed agreements was augmented
today by about one hundred, which
brings the aggregate of the estab-
lishments making the concessions to one
thousand in round numbers during the
past three or four days. Save in one
or two instances, as at Scranton, Pa,
the allied trades have not yet been af-
fccted.
1t is claimed at the general headquar-
tcrs of the machinists, however, that
where agreements are not effected by
this afternoon or tomorrow many of the
men in the allied trades will 60 out in the
individual shops where the machinists
already are out. The estimate of Presi-
dent OCOnnell, Of the National Associa-
ton of Machinists, as to the number of
strikers today remain at $4,000, approx
matcly the same figure as given yester-
day. The Executive Board of the Assoc
citation is in session here watching the
progress of the strike.
President O'Conncll today said
1.-THE reports from all sections are
very favorable. The indications are that
the great majority Of firms will have
reached agreements with the men today
or tomorrow. The dispatches coming
in from various cities Indicate that CON
ferences will be held today with a large
number of firms. Many men who were
working yesterday went out today. The
additions made last night and this morn
ing to the list of strikers, and the num-
Der that will return to work this morning
with their demands granted will about
balance each other"
TOday's report shows that only three
railroads in the United States are now
affected by the strike, namely, the Cen
trail Vermont Lehigh Valley, and Della
ware, Lackawanna e. Western.

THE GENERAL SITUATION,

The situation, according to reports re
ceived today at headquarters, is sum
| married. as follows:
Practically all the trouble between
| Kansas City and the Pacific Coast has
been adjusted At Kansas City about
800 men are out, but few small firms
have signed the agreements. San Fran
cisco reports an almost complete te-up
About 5000 men have struck. Agree
ments have been reached there, however,
with elev Ill firms outside of the Union
/ and Dresden Iron plants and the Full
ton Ship Company. At Seattle 700 men
have struck. There are 800 strikers at
Tacoma, Washington. The trouble has
been adjusted at most of the other Pa
ctic Coast points.
At New York about $500 men have
struck. A settlement has been reached
with the balance, which involves about
50 per cent. of the firms. In Chicago all
but several of the small shops have adj
justed matters. About 1000 men are ont
in Boston. Many men are ont in thu
Ohio cities Of Cincinnati, Hamilton,
Dayton and Alliance. In Cincinnati Il
dozen firms have made the concessions
since Saturday and about 5000 men are
yet out Alliance reports complete tie
up, with 500 men striking. Only few
men are out in Cleveland, practically a
general settlement having been effected
there. All tn firms in Columbus, O., and
Chicago Heights, ILL.,, have made agree
ments.
FAVORABLE REPORTS FROM THE
SOUTH.
Favorable reports come from the South.
All the establishments employing ma
chinists in Norfolk, Va, have signed
agreements. OF the establishments in
Wilmington, Del, four of the largest
ones have signed agreements, leaving
about half of the original strikers out
There is a complete tie-up reported at
Newburg, N. Y, all of the 300 machin-
lists being out, while all of the men at the
Brooks Locomotive Works at Dunkirk,
N. V, have struck. The Naugatuck
Valley in Connecticut is generally af-
fected. All are out at Bridgeport, Derby,
Ansonia, Waterbury, Stamford and New
Britain, but all the firms in Danbury
have signed agreements. In New Haven
eleven firms signed yesterday, but 900
men are still out. About 500 are out 1t
Springfield, Mass. In Philadelphia
about half of the firms have reached
agreements, leaving $500 men approx
mately still out. All are striking at
Elgin, III. At Syracuse twelve establish
ments have conceded the demands.
Mr.. OConnell stated that he looked
for settlement OF the entire situation
within few days.

because he refused to work on the Har-

Committees will also confer with officials
of the Delaware Machine Works and
Novelty Machine Company today.
CONFERENCES ARE PLEASANT.
All Of the conferences held by the
committees with the different companies
so far have been pleasant on both sides.
The utmost good feeling prevailed at
these meetings. The committees have
been pleasantly received and greatly ap-
preciate the courtesy extended them. At
all the shops where the demand was
granted before yesterday the machinists
We're working as usual yesterday but on
the new scale. Those employed at the
Remington Machine Company went in
yesterday morning. All the road ma
chinists who were called in have also
returned to their work.
u GOOD ORDER PREVAILS.
Good order continues to prevail in the
ranks of the strikers. Strict orders have
been given by the leaders for good be-
havior. The meetings of the muchinists
hereafter while the strike is on will meet
in the hall at Fifth and Market streets
over the Central National Bank, instead
of the Smith Building, No. 6101a Mar
ket street. This move was made on
account of 50 many of the machinnts
congregating OIL Market street in front
of the building.
CHEERS FOR COMPANIES WHO
CONCEDED.
Before the meeting which was held in
the hall at Fifth and Market streets last
night three cheers were given for the
shops that granted the request. The
machnists were jubilant over their sue
cess so far. At the meeting the present
status of the movement was discussed.
vote of thanks was extended to all
the shops that have granted the request.
The men feel sure that the end of the
strike is not far off. 1t is the general
feeling that the three big shops that have
so far refused will grant the request by
the end of the week. 1t is rule of the
committees to not approach the com
panies until they are sent for. On all
occasions since the strike started that
conferences have been held the commit
tees were sent for by the companies.
1t was reported at the meeting last
night that the Chicago Electric Hose
Company had also granted the request.
This company only employs few ma
rhnists but they will heretfter work
nine hours day and receive ten hours
pay.
The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1901-05-22

TRY reports are coming in that agree
ments have been signed affecting very
large proportion of the men of the trade.
am Of the opinion that by Wednesday
Is per cent. of the firms will have made
settlements with our association. In a
few cities throughout the country the
strike may be prolonged for several days,
but am confident that the whole trouble
will be satisfactorily adjusted throughout
our entire jurisdiction within ten days OF
two weeks.
The demands of the machinists are I'M
questionably within reason, especially at
this time, when we are enjoying as great
prosperity, if not greater, than ever be-
fore in the history of the country. The
employers of machinists fully realize
this statement, and I am confident will
not allow their factories to lie idle or
their business arrangements to be inter-
rupted
We asked for nine hour day without
a reduction in wages, with the adoption
of an apprenticeship system and the
number of boys that shall be employed,
in order that the apprentice may have an
opportunity to learn the trade within a
given number Of years.
We ask that an arrangement shall be
made whereby all future difficulties may
be adjusted by arbitration, thus prevent
ing strikes and lockouts.
We insist that every machinist shall
have the right to join our union, and that
there shall be absolutely no discrimina-
ton because of his membership in our
organization.
We ask that the machinists employed
by each firm shall have the right to be
represented by a committee in case
grievances of any kind may arise, in
order that the involved member may
not be placed in an unfair position or
sacrifice his job when he may have any
question with his employer.
With an agreement containing the
above clauses, l am confident that the
highest results will be obtained both to
the employer and employee.
Up to O'Clock reports show that 9O4
firms have signed the agreement or made
arrangements with our local
organizations. The number of ma
chinists employed by these firms is ap-
10000.

VICTORY IN TWO WEEKS.

| Washington, May 21.-"Two weeks at
the outside, in my opinion, will see the
entire strike question adjusted said
james OConnell, president of the Inter
national Machinis:s, tonight, after the
first day of the great strike had ended.
| kilograms received at strike head
quarters here from scores of cities in
dictate that approximately $4,000 men
throughout the country struck yesterday
morning to enforce the associations de-
mand for nine hours work at ten hours
lpay.
Reports of settlements have been re-
crived from many places and President
|O'Conncll estimates that by Wednesday
seventy-fve per cent, of all the firms
affected will have granted the machinists'
demands. He believes that with their
shops crowded with orders they will not
be content to remain idle. More than
900 firms, employing 10000 machinists
have already signed.
EXPECTS TROUBLE AT FRISCO.
ut is difficult" said President O'Con-
nell, ito compute results at this time.
kilograms are constantly being received.
In many places local officials have been
so busy with the days developments
that no report has been made to head
quarters
II feel that victory is assured. In some
instances three or four days may bring
about an agreement; in others more time
will be required. Two weeks at the out
side will see settlement favorable to
the machinists.
"The hardest fight will be in San
Francisco and Cincinnati. The Union
Iron Works and other large firms in San
Francisco have always antagonzed
labor. The moulders struck in 1891, but
were unsuccessful because they were
not properly organized Now the situa-
ton is different, and everything is in
readiness for stubborn contest, in
which the men will be successful"
President O'Connell says the machn-
lists are well supplied with funds. The
Executive Council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has offered to levy'a
special assessment if necessary. The
at louisville last December,
where 100000 wage-earners were repre-
sented, offered financial assistance to the
machinists for their strike. There will
be abundance Of help II needed.

PROGRESS OF THE STRIKE,

Washington, May 21.-From reports
received today, indications are that a

over the question of a reduction of hours
without reduction in wages between the
employers and the machinists will be
reached.
