President O'Connell's Estimate
of Number of Machinists Idle.
RECEIVING STRIKE REPORTS,
Many Concerns concede Demands OF
the Men for Fewer Hours and More
Pay-Directing Affairs From Ma.
chinists' Headquarters.

Washington, May 21.-Approximate
ly $4,000 machinists throughout the
country struck yesterday for 9-hour
day, scale of wages equal to the pres
ent ten hour per day scale, and other
demands. This is the rough estimate of
President O'Connell of the National
Association of Machinists, based on the
telegraphic advices that have reached
him from the machinists' headquarters
In the various cities. The strike thus
trades, save in one or two instances,
trades, save in one or VITO instances,
as at Scranton, where men in a part
of the allied trades are out. No ma
chinists engaged in government work
are affected. This is due to the fact
that on such work an eight hour
day scale already prevails. Railroad
machinists as a rule are not involved
in the strike, though the men on sew
eral roads are out.
Following is statement of the num-
Der of men out at important points:
Hartford, Conn.,, 1000; Ansonia and
Derby. Conn, 500; Hamilton, o., 1000;
Buffalo, 1000; Scranton, $500; Gin

Orange, N. j., 800; Oswego, N. Y, 300;
Norfolk, Va, all shops out, 500 men.
Word from other large cities is
tardy in reaching here.
Mr.. O'Connell said reports show
that 9O4 firms employing approximate
ly 10000 men have signed the agree
ments for the nine hour day or made
satisfactory arrangements with the To-
cal organizations.
Spokane, May 21.-Twenty-five ma
chinists are out as a result of the re.
fusal of the Union Iron works and the
Barnard-Syphers company to grant a
S9-hour day at s3.25. All other machine
ttsshops have conceded the, demands.
No demand has been made at the
