These statements were made before

would be applied in the case of

CHICAGO, April 16.--Chicago is in
the throes of a great Industrial war,
the result of the strike of sixteen
thousand carpenters, members of the
Federated Trades Council, who laid
down their tools this morning after a
demand for increased wages had been
declined by the Master Builders asso-
citation. Seventy-fve thousand work
ers in other lines of industry have
been thrown out of employment as a
result of the carpenters strike.
Following the refusal of the carpen-
ters' demands, members of the Master
Builders association declared gen.
eral lockout, compelling workers in
every branch of the building trades to
cease their labors. Executive officers
of the association this afternoon de-
clared the fight will be to finish and
that no compromise will either be
sought or accepted in the settlement Of
the controversy.

COTTON SCARS
HIGHEST NOTCH
SINCE JANUARY
FUTURES ADVANCE But LITTLE
DEMAND FOR SPOT ARTICLE.

Americas warehousemen witnessed
today the advance of the cotton flu
lures market to the highest point at
tanned since last August when the Eu-
ropean rough house knocked the bot
tom out and let the staple down to six
cents and below Recently the mar
ket has been gaining steadily, and this
morning May contracts touched ten
cents, with the December option at
1888 cents. While this advance IN
futures" is reassuring to a degree,
the effect upon spot cotton in the
warehouses was not apparent. There
is little active demand for the staple
just now, but the surplus" will be
needed ere long, and will bring ex-
cellent prices, it is believed Americas
warehouses still hold about 10000
bales of the fieecy, while quite lot
of cotton is held in smaller towns
