Cuiteaco, July 16.—One week ago to- | day the rolling mills owned by the North | Chicago Rolling Mill company at South Chicago shut down for repairs. The | work will be completed next Monday | and ready for the resumption of busi- | ness, It 1s stated that at that time the two thousand men employed there will strike. They are now paid by the day at the rate 83 to $3.50. They will de- | mand that they be paid by the ton, and itis said that they can certainly earn from 86 to $7 aday. A further reason for the strike is the claim that a_portion of the machinery is in the hands of in- competent men, which adds to the hazards of their work. Manager Parks says he made an agreement with the men January 1st for the entire year, and has not been informed of the proposed strike. No other mills will be aflected. It is said the proposed strike is sanctioned by the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel workers, — Storm fu Ilinois. | Peoria, July 16.—A destructive wind storm passed over Pekin, fourteen miles south of here this afternoon, damaging much property.

Special to the St. Louis Republican, Nrw York, July 14,—Officers of the Waestern Unien Telegraph company who the threatened strike of the Telegrapers’ brotherhood said they had no information on the subject except what they had seen in the newspapers. The Western Union emple about b, about 15,000 operators, of whom 000 are in Now York city. INQUIRIES AMON were met with the IPERATORS assurance that all of the brotherhood were without au- | thority, as the utmost secrecy was en- joined upon all having any knowledge of what was going on. John Mitchell, one of the publishes of the organ of the brotherhood, the Telegrapher’s Advocate, said that the ex- | ecutive committee had the whole matte in ¢ He furnished the following, which will be published in his paper to- morrow as an indication of the feelings with which the recent order of the Wes- tern Union company announcing a chiangod scale of wages is rogarded: A DELUSIVE ORDER, “The scale of wages has created great dissatisfaction throughout the entire country. The night force have been ev- rywhere, they clau, imposed upon by this_ordor, which the company makes public in a manner which to the unwary would indicate a concession. The pub- lic, however, will not be gulled by artifi- ces of this description. The day men, too, have gained but little, one day in evely six _ weeka or sbout $3 a month. The mere fact that the company had recognized their system caused miany to be jubilant, thinking, of course, the order was a degided tnerease. In sober thought, Liow sadly they must have felt when, if their labor was night duty, they found themsclves deprived of one Sunday in every eight, which they now enjoy in New York city. In many places the night men have had to work one or two Sundays a month; now, under the new order, they are compelled to work every Sunday n reduction in Lt, the salaries from €4 to 88 per month, w whole, it is p a big saving to the company.

The main reform de- equal radical tically manded is, however, equal pay for h services, which embraces some change in the method of paying fen operators, whose low wages now make | them strong competitors with men.

Said one: “I have one cent, and if 1 had four more 1 could buy an elegant ci- gar," ¥ Said the other: *I have four more, Horo they are. Buy the cigar and wo'll have a good smoke,’ Tho money was pooled, and the first speaker bought the cigar, and lighting it whifled away with great enjoyment until about half the weed had been reduced to smoke and ush “Hold on,” said the second. ““I put lin four cents and you only one. You have smoked half of the cigar. That ain't fair. Give me the rest.” “‘Not much,” responded No. 1, ‘:ufling away vigorously. *“This is a stock com: pany.

Good Taste and Enterpri the Kitchen Nros. exhibited by The Kitchen Bros., with their well- known enterprise, have just completed an entire renovation of their elegant bar and now have, without doubt, the most elegant place of the kind in the city, It is less than a year since this bar was fin- ished up in astyle to correspond with what is admitted to be the finest hotel in the western country. Its high ceilings and magnificent papering, massive mir- rors and marble tiled floor, were well cal- culated to command the admiration of the publie. But not content with this, still further improvements have of late been made, Under the superintendence of Leh- man, the paperer, the ro has under- gone a complete motamorphosis. The coiling is fimished in the style known as the Italian rennaissance, the prevailing colors being a light blue ground work, with of rich pannellings maroon, with gold beadings, on the very finest of embossed gold felts. The center picces are fine water color medallions with torre cotta back ground and maroon flock backing. The center column between the main room and the alcove is finished in Pow- poiian rod and gold, being the mosf artistic decoration to be seen any- where in - Omaba. It consists ot three panel paintings in oilon a gold em- bossed background. The stork, lillies and other Japanese designs are used. The mantle breast is done in solid ma- roon flock, with hand-painted decorations showing flowers, humming birds, butter- flies, ete. This is one of the finest pioces of work ever done in the city. The spacious windows are hung with with lambrequins of the finest silk Tur- comans, and the curtains, which sweep in graceful folds to the marble floor, are of Swiss Tambours, the whole bein, suspended from rods o ebony and gold. nnssive This work was done by Messrs. Orchard & Boan. The mirrors are handsomely and artis- tically draped, wsettees are arranged about the room and rich tropical plants adorn every nook and corner, with other ornaments ealeulated to please the taste and make the room a perfoat gem of good ste. Inmumenable gas jots and electric lights wake the place s light as day during the evening, and in fact, there is no improvement that could be suggested, as this bar is without doubt the hand- somest in the city. The two handsome and genial caterers, Charlie Little and Billy Thompson, offi- ate at the bar, and ard well qualified to do the honors of such a magnificent place.

The various gambling houses of the city re-opened last night after being closed for & month's time. There has been a good deal of talk about the closing of these houses and some charges against the authorities, which it would net do to publish, but which the re-opening confirms to s de- gree.
