Ths Eight Hour in Chicago. Associated Press to Capitol. Chicaoo, May 1.‘ —Fully 500 striking railroad freight hands met at the Harrison street viaduct near the westside Union Passenger Depot, at 8 o’clock this morning. ' Speeches were made by two or three leaders in Which they declared that it was the duty of the freight handlers on all Chicago roads to enforce their demands now for shorter hours, while working men in all depart ments of trade were doing so. The sentiment was cheered, and upon the suggestion of some one in the crowd, the men started for the Wa bash freight yards to urge the men employed there to s’top work. The crowd increasing in size as it moved, entered Wabash yards and the men there at once began quitting work. A complete cessation of work in these yards seem ed probable. Fifty men unloading vessels at the Rock Island and Lake Shore docks on the river struck for eight hours and stopped work. The officials in Rock Island and Lake Shore yards were clearing np all freight in *expectation of a strike among men there. The freight house men, among the Fort Wayne men, this morning made a demand for eight hours, and will stop at noon unless it is conceded.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 1. 1886. line ofthe West Division Car Company, de manded a reduction of their trips. The freight handlers* in the Wabash yards stopped work in a body and joined in the proces sion, which then proceeded to the Rock Island yards, where they induced all men employed in the freight houses there to abandon their posi tions. New recruits joined the column, which next visited the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago railway, where they were also success ful in their efforts with freight handlers. The procession, which now numbers some twolhou aand.ig circulating around to the different rail ways. There is much enthusiasm and cheering in their ranks, but so far there has been nc dis order. It is reported that a crowd of some 300 or 400 men are marching in the neighborhood of the McCormick Works in the southwestern out skirts of the city with a red flag at the head of their celumn. The works are all idle to-day,the men having asked for and been given a holiday. The Fulton Mill. The Capitol, afew days ago, contained a lengthy article giving the particulars of a meet ing that was held by the operatives of the Ful ton cotton mill, to consider the matter of peti tioning the company to reduce their working hours to to 11 hours a day. A final settlement has been made .by compromising the matter, reducing the hours of work to 69 per week. In the particulars of the meeting, our report er was misled to say that Mr. Allen had seen Mr. Elsas, this was a m'sfake and we correct it with pleasure. It was Mr. King, the superin tendent, that Mr. Allen saw about the matter. Later—The case, while it has been settled by the company reducing, the. hours per day from 12 to 11%, yet. the mill will now run during the noon hour of 45. minutes, which the help claim increases the hours to 73% per week instead es 72 as before. The help will call an indignation meeting and then decide what to do. A t.reat Crowd.
