'JUmOTONV May IS. The, strike, or
der iuedby -the executive board of the
International Order of Machinists will go
info effect at 7 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing'. President O'Connell said tonight that
about 60,000 ' men will be affected. -The
order instructs the men to refuse to go
to work in all shops where notices grant
ing the nine-hour work day have not been
posted at 7 o'clock. The officers of the
association expect that in many cases a
settlement will be reached during the
morrow and that the men will return to
work during the day or Tuesday morn
ing. Word came today that all the firms In
St Iiouia and also all those In New Or
leans had acceded to the demands of the
men. Scattering reports from other cities
favorable to the men were also received.
The estimate now Is that 35 per cent, of
the 'employing firms have signed. At
least 2500 union machinists were working
nine or Itss hours "when the question was
taken 'up by the association.
The 50.0CO men who will 'suspend work
are scattered all over th"e country. The
National officers are hopeful, that speedy
attempts 'will 'be made in most of the
Eastern cities, but they fear a more pro
longed struggle on the Pacific Coast The
Union Iron Works at San 5rancisco,
where the battle-ship Ohio is building,
and'other large concerns are preparing to
resist the demand.
In a large' number of cities there are
questions pending Detween the employers
and men which may operate to prevent
decisive action tomorrow, but which may
be settled ror or against the strike in a
day or two. These Include cities where
counter propositions have been made the
manufacturers anc where conferences
with headquarters Tit Washington may be
necessary before action Is taken. Jn these
Instances compromises may be reached.
President O'Connell received Saturday a
check for $10,000 from the machinists In
the "Washington navy-yard to aid the men
who strike. The machinists are not con
cerned directly In the differences with
employers which underlie the strike, but
In a letter to Mr. O'Connell they stated

Influence in the Interest of Peace.
NEW YORK, May 19. Whether tomor
row is to see .the beginning of a machin
ists' strike that shall rival the one 'In
the engineering trades In England, which
played so important a part in the open
ing of the markets of the world to the
Americans, is problematical. Leading la
bor men and representatives of the lead
ing employers said today, that they
thought pending questions would be set
tled without any general strike. It was
intimated that J. Plerpont Morgan might
be appealed to and requested to use his
influence with the great industrial com
bination In the Interests of peace.
Meetings of the machinists were held
at various places In this city today to
discuss the local situation. After getting
,reports from all the shops- In the metro
politan district, the conclusion reached
'was that shops employing about one-half
of all the machinists In the greater city
would grant the nine-hour day and the
12 per cent Increase of wages without
trouble, and that "not more than 4000 men
at the outside would go out on a strike.
Among the big shops in New York City,
where strikes are considered among the
possibilities, are the Garvan Machine
Company, where about 250 machinists are
employed; the Hoe Works, with about 800
machinists, and the General Incandescent
Arc Light Company, with 250 machinists.
In Brooklyn the Worthlngton Pump
Works, with -700 machinists, may experi
ence a strike, while trouble is also ex
pected In several New Jersey cities and
towns.
The danger of a serious -strike on the
part of 500 men, who are employed In the
24 machine shops of Jersey City, seems
remote for the reason that the majority
of the men are receiving maximum
wages. The lansrest single shop in Jersey
City, the locomobile works, Is expected
to grant the men's demands for nine
hours and a minimum rate of $2 50 per
day. Officers, of- the company with whom
a committee "conferred Saturday did not
seem adverse to granting the demand.
At Plalnfleld, N. J., it is expected to
night that 1000 machinists out of 1200 em
ployed In this city will go out tomorrow
morning.
Newark Is expecting a strike In the
morning in three of the four big com
panies here. The fourth, the Crocker
Wheeler Company, has agreed to com
promise with thet men at nine and a
half hours.
At Camden, the indications are that a
considerable number of machinists will
go out
Isaac Cowen, of the Amalgamated So
ciety of Engineers, reported to the Cen
tral Federated Union today that the 2000
members of the organization in this coun
try had decided to assist the machinists.

Today Is the time eet for the demand
of the machinists' 'union of Portland for
a nine-hour day and 10 hours pay to go
machinists' union; Is figuring on the active
co-operation of the allied trades here, as
well as elsewhere. The- number of ma
chtnsts employed In the local shops is
comparatively few, when considered in
connection with the number of men be
longing to other unions which are affil
iated with theirs.
Two antagonistic plans of action were
advocated, It is-understood, in the union
meeting last night One faction favored
an immediate strike, and the other coun
seled delay, expressing the belief that if
time is given the bosses will be willing
to compromise on some sort of a basis.
The employers give as one reason for
not yielding to the demand that it was
not made soon enough. It is said that
the demand was not formally served on
the employers until two weeks ago,
though as a matter of fact the public
announcement of the intention to demand
was made last Winter.
Although the demand was made by the
International body of machinists, it Is
understood that ach local union has con
siderable: latitude In arranging a compro
mise that may be satisfactory to Its own
membership. For this reason, the ques
tion is being debated so earnestly. Feel

The Union Meeting:.
Yesterday several prominent members
of the local union went down to Astoria,
to assist the union there in the initiation,
of new 'members, and to counsel with.,
their brethren generally, the trouble hav
ing already reached a head there. It was
after 10 o'clock last night when the local
members of the union returned, and the
union meeting was not called to order .
until after their return. Then the meet
ing went at the discussion in dead earnest. '
"When an Oregonlan reporter knocked at
the door and inquired when the meeting
would adjourn, he was informed that it
might last all night; that the discussion
was very animated, and that It being so
serious a matter and one having to be
decided upon before morning, the discus
sion was very thorough, and would prob
ably be prolonged until a late hour.
One member of the union stated yes
terday afternoon that the strike might
apply only to two local shops, In case It
the crowd that had been unable to gain
admittance saw a uniformed soldier com
ing down the street. Instantly the people
were In a state of ferment A rush was
made for the soldier, but a few .wise heads
held the crowd back for a minute, while
several others advised-the man to run.
Arguing that discretion was the better
part ofvalor, he did run, and the trouble
was avoided.
- The starting out of the first car of the
fnter-dty lines shortly after noon today
was the cause of a demonstration. Pistols
were fired. Hags waved, torpedoes were
placed on the track and exploded, the mo.
tormen and conductors wore flags on their
coats, ana iuiiy zuu men ana women
fought for the privilege of the first ride.
