Chicago. April 2S The relations
between employer and employc were
never so harmonious in Chicago as
now. In the past on May there has
always been some sort OF struggle
going on between the labor unions
and the employers in Chicago, but
this year there is scarcely Il cloud
on the Industrial horizon

dustry with the exception of the
structural iron workers, has renewed
contracts with employers aud the
iron workers expect 10 reach set

lists have demanded an increase of
% cents a day in wages but The in
tically be no trouble in putting the
new schedule into effect, as most of
the large firms in the city have signi-
fled a willingness to grant the in
crease and if any strikes are called
on May ist they will be confined to
individual firms. Agreements cover
ing all wood workers mills and fac
tories have been entered into so that
there will be no trouble in that line
of industry, while the brickmakers
are now holding conferences with
their employers and will undoubtedly
a number of the teamsters are work
ing under agreements and little
trouble is expected in that direction
The railroads which recently granted
wage increases to the men in the
train service are now doing the same
