WASHINGTON, May 20.-Approxi-mately :0,000 machinists throughout the country struck today for a nine-hour-day wale of was equal to the pres ent ten-hour rer Jay scale and other demands. Thla la a rough estimate of President O Connll, of the National As sociation ot Machinists, baed on tele graphic advice that have reached him today frm machinists' headquarters In various cltta. The strike thus far haa not extended to :h? allied trad- nave In one or two Instances, as at Scranton. Pa. No ma- chlnlts engaged In government work are afTe.v.ed. This la due to the fact that or uch 'vrk an eijrht-hour-dav schedule prevails. Railroad machinists, a a rule, are not Involved In the strike. The situation this afternojn waa sum marized jy President O'Connell in the following stitmt to .he Aawiated Press: "We are demanding a nine-hour day universally throughout the trade, with increase of wag sufficient to overcome the loss of time, the regulation of the apprenticeship aygtem and the number that shall be employed in accordance with the number of Journeymen ma- with the number of Journeymen machln 1st employed, agreement as to arbitra tion of disputes that may arise In future. the right of machinists to be represent ed by a committee and agreements that there shall be absolutely no dlscrsmi nation against machinists because of their membership In the union. The number of flrm9 signing indicates that In localities where agreements are be ing made the strike cannot last over a few days.

In caae the employers refuse to grant all the terms, Including uncon ditional recognition of the union, the men are to leave the shops. The local branch of the union has about 1800 members. If they go out on a strike they will be Joined by the pattern mak ers and other trades connected with shipbuilding and machine works num berlng In all about 5000 men. The employers say their shops will be open for the men to go to work at the ordinary rates, that any terms con cerning the wages or working hours the men ask will be only considered but they will not arbitrate on the question of union recognition.

Clay Pierce, of St. Louis, tt Is be Iteved. aims at securing the bulk of transportation of that vast Import and export trade between America and Asia which Is as yet only In Its Infancy. The corner-stone of Mr. Pierce's scheme, a announced, Is believed to be the estab lishment of a new Pacific coast port for deep sea vessels at Manzanillo, on the southwest coast of Mexico; and one of the chief links in the chain waa forged the other day when Mr. Pierce's syndicate secured control of the Mex ican Central Railroad.

The western terminus of the Mexi can Central Is Colima, which to only 83 miles from Manzanillo. and which la described aa a natural land-locked har bor, suitable for sea-going vessels of the heaviest draft. Large sum of mon ey will be expended, It la said, to make this one of the finest ports on the Paci fic coast, and the extension of the Mex ican Central lines from Coilma to Man zanillo will be at once undertaken and be pushed rapidly to completion. After that two connecting links remain to be created between the St. Louis at San Francisco system and the Mexican Cen tral in order to complete the chain be tween Manzanillo and St Louis. The Mexican International Railroad will be one of these, It connects with the Mexican Central at Torreon. A new Ime must be built to connect the Mexican International with the St. Louis & San Francisco. This new line will ext-md from 8hermaa. Tex., to Eagle Paas, on the Rio Grande.
