MAY DAY TO BE QUIET
So Far as Labor Strikes Are Con.
cerned They viii Be Fewer
Than Usual.

Chicago, April 29.-May Day, aa
viewed from a labor standpoint, gives
promise to be very quiet and unevent-
full. In st. Louis and the southwest
there is small prospect for labor trou-
bles, as the scales for the year are
nearly all signed. No trouble is antic-
ipated at Philadelphia, New York, Bos-
ton and Pittsburg. In New England
there is unrest in the cotton mill
towns.
San Francisco. however, is facing
serious labor troubles and pretty much
all organized labor is preparing to
strike for higher wages. At Salt Lake
City a strike of street railway en-
ployes is ''on," and the riot is "on"
also the moment the company tries
to run car.

SEVEN MINERS IMPRISONED

Alive Yet.
Baltimore, April 29.-With a roar
that terrified thousands, and a rush
that drove wave six feet high to dis
tant parts Of the inner harbor of Balti-
more nearly half Of new pier under
construction at Locust Point broke
away from the shore end and plunged
into the water. Out Of the wreckage
three dead bodies have been taken,
five men are missing and their bodies
are almost certainly beneath the ruins,
and eighteen men are suffering from
injuries more or less severe.
Later, however, the rapping from
within the mine ceased. Then it be-
gan again and has continued. The
rescuing party is greatly puzzled over
the manner in which these taps are
given. Invariably the number IS sew
en-. Whether the miners on the other
side Of the flooded headings mean that
they are in No. Z heading south OFF
second right heading, or whether they
mean that seven men are living is
merely a matter Of conjecture. Twelve
large pumps are in operation but the
head against the flood is very slight.
