STRIKES Of MAY DAY

San Francisco. May 3. The
first of May was made day for trade
union demands.
Twelve hundred machinists in Buff
falo, N. Y, and probably 800 more in
Erie county outside of Buffalo struck
to secure a nine.hour day without a
decrease of pay. 1t is understood
there that the local movement is the
forerunner of strike that may extend
all over the United States, Canada
and Mexico, on May 20, when a gen.
eral demand for q nine.hour day will
be made.
The strike of the marine engineers
is practically settled on basis Of
mutual concessions. 1t is expected
that all boats will be ready to go into
commission on the lakes in a very few
days.
All the bricklayers and masons of
Elizabeth, N. j., to the number Of
400. went on strike. At Yonkers $50
briclSlayers, plasterers, stone-masons
and hodcarriers went out.
Strikes have occurred in the build.
ing trades at Waterbury, Conn.,;
Columbus and Youngstown, o.; In
dianapolis, Ind, and Grand Rapids,
Mich.
The Illinois Central Railway declin.
ed to grant a nine-hour work day to
the union machinists working along its
lines. The company absolutely refus-
ed to consider any compromise on this
question.
Concessions made on both sides at
East Liverpool, o., between the manu-
featuring potters and the operators,
averted threatened strike that would
have affected ten thousand workmen.

COAL TAX HARD
NUT TO CRACK

London, May 8. = The debate on
the coal tax began in the House of
Commons yesterday Thursday, but
the fate of the measure Is in doubt.
Mr.. Balfour was determined to get
vote on the coal tax before the
House rose, and he rejected Sir vii.
liam Vernon Harcourt's private appeal
for postponement At a late hour,
however, SO many members were
anxious to speak that the Speaker
gave 1t to he understood that he would
not consent to an application of the
closure. The Government was, there.
fore, reluctantly compelled to yield.
The result of the division is by no
means certain. Sir Michael Hicks.
Beach's strong and effective speech in
defense Of the tax denghted his col.
leagues. At the same time It was felt
that he gave an unsound argument
when he pleaded the enormous pro.
fits of the coal owners as a justifica.
ton Of the new tax. 1t is pointed out
that the Radicals used the same argu.
ment when demanding the taxation OF
ground rents, and that II large profits
justify attacks, lean profits would
equally justify state assistance.
There was a large attendance In
the House of Commons today in an
ticipation of the discussion on the
new export tax on coal.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Lib
eral, led with a severe, almost violent
arraignment Of the Government. He
said the tax would throw the Goa
trade into chaos and confusion. II
was nonsense to say the foreigner
would pay the tax because he woult
not do without coal. The Govern
ment Of Italy had answered that plet
by taking coal from America instead
of this country. The trade Of France
was equally divided between thi'
country, Germany and Belgium.
The Chancellor Of the Exchequer
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, interrupt
ing. said: 1--WE are beating thu
Others"
Then go on beating them" sal,
Sir William Vernon Harcourt. "Wh.
throw a shilling into the scale agains
this country" Sir William contend
ed that II was class legislation an,
that the tax would ultimately come on
OF the miners wages.
The Chancellor Of the Excheque
admitted that the tax, like every tax
was an obstruction on trade. Tn
real question was, Could the expor
trade in coal bear the tax? It could
English coal was of such quality
there was much of 1t. and II could no
be got in any other country, that, to
large extent, It was free from compe
tition.
The Chancellor submitted masse
Of statistics. which he summarized a
showing that 225.0Oo.O00 tons wer
mined in 1900. on which G1s000, 90
in wages was paid.
