Approximate ly 50,000 machinists throughout the coun try struck today for a nine-hour day, a scale of wages equal to the present 10 hqpr per day scale, and other demands. Thjs Is a rough estimate of President O'Connell, of the National Association of ilachinlsts, based on telegraphic- advices tna't have reached him today from tho machinists' headquarters' In the various cities. The strike thus far has not ex tended to the allied trades, save in one or' two instances, as at Scranton, Pa., where nten In a part of the allied trades are out, No machinists engaged in gov ernment work, are affected. This Is due to. the fact that on. such work an eight- hour qay schedule already prevails. Baljroad machinists, tbs a rule, are not Involve in the strike, though the men on several roads are out The Central Vermont shop machinists at St Albans, numbering probably 200, have struck. The Ijehigfi Valley Hailroad machinists at Buffalo, Sayre, Wllkesbarre and "Elmlra are out, aggregating about BOO all told. The Delaware, Lackawanna & "Western men at Buffalo, Scranton, Wllke&barre and intermediate points are out The Gulf, Colorado & ganta e men are also out The strike order, howeyer, does not apply to the railroads generally. It is explained at headquarters that there is no competition between the railroads and private work and that work among pri vate establishments is to be adjusted first. The situation this afternoon was sum inarlzed by- President O'Connell In the fol lowing statement to the Associated Press: "We are demanding a nine-hour day universally throughout the trade, with an increase of wages sufficient to overcome the loss of the hour In time; regulation of the apprenticeship system and the number that shall be employed in accord ance with the number of journeymen ma chinists employed; agreements -as to ar bitration of all disputes that may arise in the future; the right of the machin ists to be represented by a. committee, and agreements that ihere shallibe abso lute!? no discrimination against machin ists because of. their membership in the union. "Prom the present indications andvthe statements IsfiURdnirohvfheadquftxierB-'Af the various points, the orders are being generally obeyed and in larger numbers than was anticipated. .In seer tain cases where only a few hundred .were expected to be involved the Indications are that the number will be Increased 50' per cent. -The number of firms signing indicates that In the localities where the agreements are being made the! strike will not last over a few days. In other localities where a larger number of men are being Involved I look forward to an adjustment being reached within the present week."

These Arms having conceded the de mand's, the men are at work as usual. Mr. O'Connell said tonight that up to 5 o'clock reports show that 901 firms, em ploying approximately 30,000 men,- had signed agreements for the nine-hour day or made satisfactory arrangements -with the local organizations. aad th same rate of pay per hour as the mea ar.e. now gettlngj the balance of the. ieawEds usade by. the employes to be sus pended until we, see Tvfiat action Is, fcaken in ihe East by the Cramps and the New port News, shipbuilding yards.

Mr. Fjtzpatf Tlck replied that he was acting under In structions and thaj the only conditions he was authorized to accept -were the nine Tioura a day and 10 hours pay at the union schedule land san arrangement for extfra time for overwork as demanded by the union.

We could not see out way clear.to granting the demands in full, so tho men went oiit. rVery nearly all our men went ouC to the number of 3500. There Is the best of feeling on both sides and I bopend look for an amicable settlement" The strike thus far has been perfectly orderly, and no trouble is apprehended. Several large steamers will be tied up indefinitely as a result of the strike. The transport officials kent to -the Rlsdon Iron Works., for mechanics to work on the transport Sheridan, and were Informed that none could be furnished. The engi neers on the Sheridan -will, therefore, be compelled to malce the necessary repairs. The Norwegian steamer Horda, which ar rived from Puget Sound, Is badly in need of repairs, on account of having struck a rock. Repair work has been' stopped on the steamer Arab, on the Alameda and the German 'ship Willy Rlckmers, at the Union and Rlsdon works.

The Tle-Up the Most Completion the Cotintrj-. CINCINNATI, May 20. At ,a meeting late this afternoon of the employing ma chinists, they decided to close down their -plants Indefinitely as a result of the strike. A number of the larger firms declare that- they have enough finished product on hand to tide them over a strike without Inconvenience. At a meeting of the strikers tonight Business Agent Harry Schilling, of the combined machinists unions, of this city, announced that the tie-up in Cincinnati is the most complete In the country. He said there were but 100 union machinists at work today, aside, from the 00 who .have been already conceded, their terms. These 100 he pledged would not work on Tuesday. Machinists' processions were formed as early as 7:30 and marched to the larger manufacturing concerns ani called the jnen out. The response was general, even among employes not members of the Machinists' Association, who had given' no intimation that they were in sympathy "with the strike. At several of the large manufactories ,the men are all at -work, -even -when-no Increase in wanes .has been arranged for. i'.SamuejvCQmperjw prestffenj: :vOth. 1 Aitiprtpfln TiVrlrfiHnn nfVjTiSi'Ut rf!vArl early today.

About 600 strikers were addressed by President Gompers at their , , (Concluded on Second Pag-e,) Portland, Nehalem & Tillamook Railway has, through Its officers, made a formal proposal to the transcontinental systems for; tbq building .of a joint line, of which Portland shall be the terminus, to the Nehalem and Tillamook regions. Copies of the proposal have been mailed to E. H. Harrlnlan, chairman of the .executive com mittee of the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific And O. R. & N. Co., and Daniel S.' Lamont, vice-president and chairman of the executive committee of the North ern Pacific. If the Puget Sound Inter ests should refuse to Join in a single line, Pprtland -will make every effort to build an- independent Iinev- Negotiations look ing to this end are now in progress. Following is the full text of the pro posal: "Terminating within the City of Port land, as do all of the transcontinental lines you Individually represent, this com pany, incorporated to build a direct rail way from Portland into the Nehalem, composed of 52 merchants, bankers and others here, has taken it for granted that your three companies have an equal in terest, share and share alike, in develop ing the railroad and steamship interests of Portland. Railroad experience has demonstrated to you that, like Chicago, ban Francisco, St. Louis and Kansas City, there must be, unitedly on your part, to secure tho success of all your trans continental lines, one city or terminus oh this North Pacific Coast, and that any spasmodic railway efforts for di vergence of traffic from that terminus into two or more neighboring cities event ually ends, as history records, in ostra cising the lino which. tries to divert that traffic. "If Portland had not already secured that which no transcontinental line can Indi vidually take away from it oyer 70 per J cent of the foreign export and Import trade, merchandise, lumber, grain, steamships, lo cal traffic and passengers of the Pacific Northwest It might have been presump tuous on our part to demand, as we now do, from your three transcontinental lines terminating here, that Portland be made' the soleand united final terminus for all railway lines to be built hereafter Sjhto those vast undeveloped Nehalem and Tll lamookterritorles now.adiolnlnjr. .and, all lhAg.nati theea) to Portland? spthat all of " their 1 timber, coal, dairy and other productions shall be carried through this city for re distribution elsewhere; not. with the view of paying tribute to Caesar (Portland), but because it is the shortest line, easiest grade and most Inexpensive per mile in construction, and therefore operated cheaper than any other longer haul, car rying, as we all know here, the greatest traffic per mile. Besides all this, our de mand for direct rail transportation is made more tangible from' the Nehalem into Portland by -the fact that our city makes already 1,250,000 feet of lumber per 1 day, two-thirds of which goes daily over your three transcontinental llneaj con sequently. If, by a combination o'f your three lines for carrying that Nehalem lumber by rail over one lino Into this city, and we have the rail facilities, we can hereafter manufacture here 10,000,000 feet of lumber dally. If we can only se cure the transportation facilities into Portland direct to do so, and that traffic is not diverted to California and to Puget Sound, because yellow fir logs for Port land may be delivered for $4 50 to 54 75 per 1000, including freight, by rail, to our Immediate suburbsr-less prices than possi ble elsewhere, now J6 per 1000 here. In these circumstances, Portland and our company have welcomed with pleasure the community of Interest plan, recently Inaugurated by your three lines, whereby. In order to prevent unnecessary competi tion among Pacific Northwest railroads, your three lines will unite upon the selpc tlon of one railroad to be; built. If the shortest, cheapest, to construct and oper ate to a.new territory is available. "Relying, therefore, upon this commu nity of Interests being carried out In gcod faith in its Integrity by your three lines, you will see that Portland is pre-eminently suited, with its large population, terminus and lumber-seat of manufacture, to be chosen by your three companies. "We therefore submit the following details of a proposition for your joint consid eration! "First That the Portland. Nehalem & Tillamook Railway Company should con tract to build 43 miles of railway from the north suburbs of Portland, on the navigable "Willamette, to the summit of the Coast Range, shown on map. all as already surveyed. In exchange for first mortgage bonds of 515,000 per mile, and common stock of S5000 per mile, fully paid up, delivered to contractors only on com pletion of the railway, to become your joint property. "Second That the Northern, Union and Southern Pacific share equally In the own ership and operation of said railway and its bonds and stocks, and become its joint permanent owners for 5645,000 to $650,000 in cash, or $217,000 payable to each com pany (exclusive of rolling stock, one- third whereof to be contributed oy eacnj, the Northern agreeing to abandon its pro. posed Scappoose-PIttsburg branch; and all future extensions thereafter proposed to be made from the Coast Range terminus Into the Nehalem and Tillamook terri tories only be constructed, however, on the vote of your three companies com bined. "Third" That, except sawlogs, all freight destined for points on either of the three transcontinental lines, or local traffic to and from Portland, shall be delivered at the Union Depot, Portland, to the three respective lines at one fixed, agreed-upon local rate to all. from Nehalem; and the Northern Pacific to be paid an annual trackage by the Portland, 3Tehalem & Til lamook Company, direct, for the five to six miles the latter may occupy- into North Portland. "Fourth That, If preferred, the North ern,, Southern and Union Pacific Compa nies, jointly or any two of them (if one refuses to jcin in the sole ownership of the direct line from Nehalem Into Port land's suburbs, as above proposed), shall be permitted. Instead of owning that line, to lease, maintain and operate the same for 99 years, as allowed by Oregon law, at aniannual "fixed. .agrecd-unon. rent of. aayfirjiorOQO- perj8ysarf?tobA pa!dto ihs bondholders; that Is to say,. $13,333 yearly to be paid as rent by each of the three companies, the bondholders4 in that event agreeing to furnish the money. $6oU,uw, more or less, to bulld these 43 miles, ex cept rolling stock. "Fifth That if either one of the North ern, Union (for O. R. &. N. Co.) or South ern Pacific should refuse to become a party to Its ownership of the joint 43 miles proposed from Portland, as above, the other two lines acquiescing therein shall be entitled to own one-half interest THE RETURU TRIP No Definite Date Set for Presidents Departure.

Over 30 and possibly 100 persons were wounded In a stjeet fight when the mob stoned the police. Several deaths are reported at Knanthenscated as a result of the strike riots. The agitation among the students Is responsible for the troubles. THE STRIKE AT SAN FRANCISCO. Sixty-five Hundred Union Machinists Q,nlt Work. SAN FRANCISCO, May 20. Sixty-five hundred union machinists and other iron trade workers affiliated with them quit work in this city today. It Is expected fhat about 1000 more men will join the strike as soon as they are ordered to do so by their respective national directors. Among the latter are the Iron molders and the core makers. The other crafts affected Include almost every branch of Hie Iron shipbuilding and boiler-making trades. In pursuance of a plan adopted yester day by the Iron trades council, the men reported for work as usual at 7 o'clock this morning and at 9 o'clock their chosen representatives waited upon the employers and stated that they desired an immediate answer to the message conveyed In the agreement submitted some time ago. Then the committees returned to the men and ordered .them to cease work. Without a murmur of dissent the command was obeyed and without the least disorder the employes walked -out and peaceably dis persed. Of the 4000 men employed at the Union Iron "Works, 3700 went out. At the Rls don Iron Works, 650 men 6tartted work this morning and only 50 of them remain there. On the payroll of the Fulton Iron Works there are about 600 names and 500 of them voluntarily quit labor today. From theee three establishments alone 4900 men have walked out. In rhe local Industry there are 99 shops and of these there are only 10 that employ more than 100 men. Eight of the smaller concerns acceded to the demands of their men prior to this morning. AH the others refused to sign the agreement? submitted by their union employes.' After a meeting of the ooard of direc tors of the Union Iron Works this morn ing. Irving M. Scott, vice-president and general manager, made the folowing state ment: "John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the strike committee, held a conference with us this morning. We offered him as a settlement the nine hours a day asked for SAN FRANCISCO May 30.-Mrs. Mo Klnley passed a very good afternoon and the President is very cheerful over tho Improved condition. The above announce ment was made at the Scott Tesldence tonight. While Mrs. McKinley did not leave her bed today, she passed consider able time propped up and rested well. At 9 p. m. Secretary Cortelyou gave out the following statement: Drs. Hirschfelder and Gibbons met Dr. Rixey at 8:30 p. m. They find that Mrs McKlnley's Improvement has continued through the day and that her condition to night Is excellent. Drs. Hirschfelder, Gibbons and Cushing will meet Dr. Rlxey at 11:30 a. m. tomorrow." While no definite date has been set for the President's departure the present ar rangements are to go direct to Washing ton and not to Canton, as has been un officially stated. During the remainder of his stay in this city, the President will participate in as many public gatherings as the condition of Mrs. McKinley will warrant, but only in an impromptu and informal way. Weather permitting,, the President tomorrow will review the school children of the city. President McKinley has promised to talk to the Forty-fifth and Forty-Sixth in fantry regiments, United States volun teers, who have just returned from the Philippines and are now In cainp at tho Presidio.
