HUNDREDS OF MEW DROP THEIR TOOLS Employers Who Have Conceded the Demands—Scenes at the Working- men’s Headquarters—What Employ- nd Journeymen Say. ——_— To-day the movement agreed upon by the trades unions and assemblies to secure the eight-hour day, with no reduction of pay, for all Journeymen engaged in what are known as the building trades, was inaugurated in this city. The program announced in Saturday's STAR was carried out by the men, In many cases the Journeymen were notified by their Vosses Saturday night that they could not come to work on the eight-hour plan, In such cases, of course, the journeymen did not go to the shops this morning. In other cases the men appeared this morning at their places of employment and then withdrew upon being informed that ten hours work was expected of them. During the day in most stone-yards, carpenter shops and other shops and on buildings in course of erection there were but few men at work. In some instances the boss had only his appren- tices to work with them, There were a num- ber of places through the city where the ‘locked-out” journeyimen had their rendezvous, ‘The policy was to keep the Ten off the street, h as possible, and the journey men locked out eltuer remained at home or joined their fel- low workmen at their rendezvous, THE GENERAL HEADQUARTERS was in the Kniglits of Labor hull, at the corner of 4% street und Pennsylvania avenue. At nine o'clock this morning workmen began to assemble there. The gathering represented ail trades. ‘The hall was never at avy one time crowded. Men would drop 12, learn the situa- | tion in different trades, then drop out and their places would be taken by others. District Mas- ter Workman Hobbs and otter prominent Knights of Labor were in and out during the morning. As a rule the men expressed confl- dence wnat the “lock-out” would be of short duration, “There are not half as many men locked out,” said Mr. Hobbs to a STAR reporte Was estimated Saturday would ve out. Many of the bosses have conceded the elght hours. Many more Would, if they were not torced to hold’ out by the Master Builders’ association. The master builders threatened to boycott these sth-contractors by not taking estimates work from any of them who refused to suuid by them in their resistance to the eight-hour Movement. So tar as Lean tell now, 1 should taluk there are not more than 1,000 or 1,200 jen locked out. COULDN’r WORK WITH A SCAB.

The plumbers assembled in considerable force about the K. of L, headquarters this morning. They were Jubilantand confident. In addition to the dozen bosses reported last night as having conceded the eight hours, {t was unuounced at the hall Luis morning that William Ward, of New York avenue, and Hannan Bros.—Eugéne and Frank—had granted the eight hours, “Phe bosses, I think, would have all given in at once,” said one’ of the plumbers toa Star re- porter, “if they had supposed the apprentice boys were going to leave tam, ‘The boys have stood by us, so the bosses have no one at all to help them out.” jure,” said Mr, Nicholas Plass, “if the boss plumbers had a meeting to-day that they wouid all grant the eight hours, “Those who be- long to the master plumbers’ organizations are under obligations Which they feel bound to ob- serve. If there was a meeting their action would be rescinded, or most of them would re- sign, so as to get rid of their obligations, They did hot know there would beso many master plumbers who were willing togrant the eight jours.” ‘THE STONECUTTERS. Out of the 125 members of the Stonecutters’ Assembly only about eighteen or twenty were at’ work to-day, The boss stonecutters will meet tonight, and the Journeymen hope and expect that they will then decide to yield tho polutasked. ‘The stonecutters have, up to the present time, been working only nine ‘hours a day and only eight hours on Saturday. To grant the elgtit hour day would involve only live hours a week. “it 1s a very poor work- man,” said a stonecutter, “who could not and would not make up that five hours. I believe the Fiannerys’ have got more work out of their men under the eight-hour rule than they ever could under the nine-hour rule.” THE PLASTERERS AND THB TINNERS have been working under an eight-hour rule since last November. In their cases to-day there were few men unemployed, except in instances where non-union men of other trades were found at work on the builditigs, ‘THE CO-OPERATIVE GROUPS, A Knight of Labor wold a Sra reporter that two co-operative gangs or groups, organized by carpenters, are now engaged on buildings in the city. “We will wait a week,” he said, “and if We have not won our polpt’ then we Will go to work very generally for ourselves. You see,” he added, holding ‘up a roll of paper, “here ‘on whica we are NO NEED OF POLICE, “There will be no need for Major Dye's ser- orannoying any one.

Tuey | leit, however, with the expectation that the plasterers and others, who have a mixed as- sembly of their own and are notin this elght- hour movement. Their numbers are compara- tively tew. Some of these colored men, those employed about charitable institutions, have already been granted eight hours.” PAYING MEN DURING THE LOCKOUT. In several trades, notably the plumbers and ‘stonecutters, in which skillful workmen are in demand, some of the Journeymen who quit work to-day are still under pay. The bosses were afraid of losing thelr good workmen, and reed to pay them their wages during the “lockout,” to ‘keep them from accepting em- ployment elsewhere. The Knights of Labor say that when the bosses take back their men. they will all be required to pay the men for the time lost during the “lockout,” and also the expenses borne by the unions on'aecount of the “lockout,” THE CARPENTERS’ UNION held an all-day session with closed doors today at their hall, 7th and Lstreets. The members of the union were particularly active. Men ere detailed to picket the railroad depots and all buildings in course of erection, and they kept going to and from the hall bringing tnfor- mation, t one o'clock the members of the union said they had not yet received informa- tion from every quarter, and therefore could give no figures as to the situation. THE BRICKLAYERS, Mr. M. J. Curry, a member of the Bricklayers’ union, gave to aSTAR reporter the following as a list of Jobs on which men went to work this morning without any protest from employing bricklayers: Join Miller, 20 men; Dick Mc- Mennimen & Bro, 12; P.

Many of the bakers’ wagons were decorated this morning to celebrate grants made to the bakers and drivers by their employers. Beg: ning to-day the bakers will work only tweive hours and the drivers likewise will work ouly twelve hours. Many of the journeymen bakers me times were required to drive the wagous in the morning aiter flnishing their work in the shops. Now, however, no baker is required to drive wagon. The Columbia line street cars were also decorated to-day, as the company had fiunted the men twelve hours a day without Joss of ae The ice drivers have also organized nd gained a concession from the companies. nis concession is that they are not required to work after they turn their wagons in, Here- toore, it is claimed, they had to work about the yards, or drive coal or other wagons after Hnishing their regular trips. AMONG THE BUILDERS AND MANUFACTURERS. At the office of Langiey & Gettinger, builders, 310 12thstreet, a STaR reporter found no one but an olfice boy, whosaid that all the men had stopped work Saturday night, and nothing was doing to-day. If any men were at work at ail, they were working On the ten hour schedul but he thought there were none, On the fluor above,where thegalvanized fron rhice works of L.Wolisteiner & Co, are located, one of the proprietors was found, who said that i the work uoder him had been sus- pended, temporarily at least. No one was at Work to-day but an apprentice. Thi were wailing, he said, to see What the bigger firms going to do. ‘On Lie third floor of the same buildin paint suop of Geo. W.

Mr. Bright said that work had been shut down on tue Army Medical museum building because of the want of materiul—to- ‘They have no material on hand just now. CC.

G. Ball, jr. “Chey did not turn up, and therefore notaing is doing. There is no issue between the men und us,” he continued. “It is between the men und the builders, the persons who pay for the building, not the contractors. We know this thing was coming. aud made preparations accordingly. We made estimates ior work to be done aiter the Ist of May at an increase of 20 per cent, for that is what eight hoars means. ‘The builders wouldn't have it, and, therelore, no contracts have been made. We couldn’t pay the extra 20 per cent and esti- mate at the old rates for the builders, while the men work for eight hours, because there is not ‘20 per cent profit in the work. We tried it and find that the builders will not pay ten-hour prices for eight hours" work, and that setties it, That is what the bosses mean when they the eight-hour rule won't work. ‘The builders won't stand the increased cost and will not have their buildings erected.” observed among the fine residences now in course of erection in the West End there is but little work being done, and the men employed are principally apprentices and laborers, with, of course, the exception of the plumbers. The work on the Baltimore Sun building.on F street, is going on to-day as usual, but this building is being erected by day work, and the owners directed that the demands of the men for eight hours should be granted. MX. B. H. WARNER'S OPINION, Mr. B. H. Warner said to-day: “We built very largely for other parties last year, but our houses are nearly completed. Several of our Wealthy clients who were going to spend large amounts in building have postponed their enterprises for the present. The interests of all Parties will force a settlement of the question ‘very soon,” A CONFIDENT KNIGHT OF LABOR. This thing is going on,” said Mr. RL, De Akers, a well-known Knight of Labor toa STAR reporter, “until this matter is settled. Our men are in dead earnest about it; they were pever more in earnest in anything than they are in this movement. [haven't the silghtest doubt of their success. “I have canvassed the matter | thoroughly an@ am thoroughly satisfied. Divisions have already appeared in the ranks Of the bosses, but there Will be no divisions among our men. The bosses, I think, under- estimate the strength of the men, who ai thoroughly united, and have resources at their disposal Which the bosses do not dream of.” REPRESENTATIVE WEAVER'S VIEWS. The labor representatives in the House look upon the eight-hour movement asa matter of very serious importance, and think the result must finally be asuccess. Representative Weaver said today that the movement would be uni- versal throughout the country, and be thougut it would be successful and of great benefit to the laboring men and tothe community. He thinks that generally speaking the settlement Will be reached peaceably MD. EDMONSTON'S FIGURES. Mr. Gabriel Edmonston, of the Carpenters’ union, said to a STAR reporter that the men had thelr plans, If they failed in this attempt they would accomplish their purpose in another vay. He was not at liberty to tell what that way would be, The men, however, would do the work, and while it taight detér building operations for a ent at the start, at the end of the year there would be as much done un- der the eight-hour system as would have been done other wi: THE MASTER BUILDERS who had determined not to grant the eight hours informed their men on Saturday when they paid them of their decision, and so this morning they made ne arrangements to do inuch work on their buildings.

The memorial Tecites that as this Is tobe a grand assembiage of many of the most distinguished medical men and eminent scientists of the civilized World engaged in the humane and Philanthropic work of promoting human samk tation.upon which rests the moral and physical well being of civilized society, It becomes the duty of every citizen of this country capable of appreciating the magnitade and beneficence ot this object to co-operate with and aid those Whose special wuty it will be to welcome these distinguished foreigners to America, In order, therefore, to discharge this delicate and respon task in r consistent with our vidual feeling, and se nplishment of our mis we are constrained to appeal to your hon- rable body for financial assistance. We feel hesitation in making this appeal, because do so in the belief that the important ob- Jects involved and the manitest obligations of a Teciprocal courtesy, as well as conspicuous acts of national friendship will prompt you te. give It your earnest and favorable considera: tion. To those who may entertain scraples re- ality nject we beg Past legisiatt gross of the United States touching analagous Subjects furnish abundant precedents for such Proceeding. It is belleved that authority for h legisiation might be found wader the pecus Lar relations which Congress bolds to this city. It will not be dented that municipal govern ments can appropriate and xpead the pablic money for such purposes, and as the Congress of the United States exercises a quasi cipal £o% s ity, authority be din the municipal tanetions whieh it ts duty of that body form?
