CHESTER READY FOR STRIKE.
Agent Keegan reports the situation at
Chester as decidedly favorable to a
strike if the union should so desire.
We are strong enough in Chester" he
said, "to call strike at any time and
make it effective" This statement is
in consequence Of visit to Chester made
by keegaIi last night. Subsequently the
whole town was organized, 1873 out of 22S
machinists in the place being enrolled.
Agent Keegan explained that the rea-
son no demands had been and will not be
made in Chester until later in the week
is the inability to properly handle the
strikers. as all the district officials are
required here in Philadelphia, and no one
will he sent to Chester until the situation
here is relieved. In this event the big
trims likely to be affected are Robert
Wetherill & Co., Vulcan Iron Works and
he Roach shipyards, at all of which the
union men are said to be strongly or
ganized.

COMPANY

Glens Falls, n. T., May 23.-The entire
plant of the Glens Falls Portland Ce-
ment Company, usually employing 400
men is idle because of Il strike for a de-
mand for increased wages. Both sides
are determined and there is little pros
pect of an early settlement. There has

Majority Of Men viii Return on
Monday.
President 0'Connell Still Holds That
the Situation is Growing
Brighter.

Washington, May 23-Several hundred
additions to the ranks of the strikers,
two-score or more firms signing the
agreement with the men, leaving approx
mately 10000 or $4,000 men still out, and
posSilr material accpSsionS to the roll Of
strikers in the course of the day is i'll
nutshell the machnists' strike situation
throughout the country today. While
several railroads have adjusted their
difficulties, trouble with other roads is
imminent.
Meantime President O'Connell, of the
international Association of Machinists,
who is directing the strike, hold that the
situation is getting brighter. and stands
by his prediction that next Monday morn
ing well witness the resumption of work
10y the great majority of the men who
went out. i4e said today that probably
few of the men would care to return to
work this week anyway.
President AIulholand, of the Allied
Metal Trades Association, tclcgraphed
from the headquarters of that association
| in Toledo today that he had issued
orders to his men mt various points to
ioin the strike in those shops where the
lrmployprs are stil holding ont against
the demands of the machinsts.
This is liable to add materially to the
| force of the strikers. In several of the
large cities break in the line of the

Sions Is claimed by the strike leaders.
STRIKE ON SEABOARD LIKELY.
Mr.. O'Connell said this afternoon that
the strike might extend to the Seaboard
Air Line today, This would involve sev-
rral hundred men in different shops
Conferences have been in progress for
some time Mt Portsmouth. Va. between
the Seaboard officials and the men. and
Il disagreement was reported last night.

Philadelphia, May 23.-The strike of

MACHINISTs GAINING.
All But Seven Shops in Cleveland
Have Yielded.

Cleveland, May 22.-All the local shops

.hinists. Those seven are: The Viriety
iron Works. Cleveland Punch and Shear
Works, Warner & Swasey, Chase Ma
chine Company, Garry Iron Roofing Com
pany, River Machine and Boiler Com
pany, and the Reliance Machine Com
pany, belonging to the Cleveland Manu-

Exciting contest. The seven shops in
question employ 202 machinists.
Baltimore, Md, May 22.-The machin-
sts in the employ of the OFT. Mergen-
thaler Company returned to work this
morning. A notice signifying the com
Iany's willingness to accede to q nine
hour day was sent out yesterday after
noon. About eighty men resumed work
as a result. An effort is being made by
the machinists to extend the strike at
Sparrows Point by inducing workmen
belonging to other labor organizations to
Join them.
Chicago, May 22.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the Federation of Labor,
said here today:
members of the National Metal
Trades Association by their action have
violated the spirit as well as the terms
If the New York agreement and in my
opinion have abrogated contract that
might have led to system whereby in
lustrial disputes in the United States
would have been avoided.
'"rhe position taken by the manufactur-
rs is ridiculous" he continued. "They
ay they have made great concession
in granting the nine hour day. Nonsense.
nine hour day without an increase in
wages is no concession at all. Indus
trial conditions more than admit of the
increase asked by the machinists and
from what / can learn of the general
atrike thraughont the country the ma
'rinists will win.
"a majority of the skilled trades and
many bodies of unskilled organized work
men are today enjoying an eight hour day
md are receiving more compensation
Than is now being asked by the machin-
lists. It is shame that men who are the
most skilled of all workers should have
been compelled to strike to gain a nine
hour day."
