BIG STRIKE IN PHILADELPHIA Tho Number of Men Idle Is Swelled to 8,000 The Carpenters Quar rel. Philadelphia, May 3. The stiuggle of the men engaged In the building Hades In this city for an eight-hour workday, with Increased wages, took a new turn today, when there was a. split between one of the carpenters' organizations and the Allied Hulldlngs Trades league, and as a result a bitter war Is on. From nn aggregate of 3,000 men who quit woik on Tuesday, the day the eight-hour campaign was Inaugurated, the total number of men now Idle liar swelled to over S,000. When the eight hour movement began thirty-six build ing trades amalgamated in order to better carry 011 their contest. The or ganization was named the Allied Hulld hig Trades league. In this city there aie three Independent organizations of carpenters, namely, the Hrotherhood of Cat pentcis and Joiners, with a mem bership of 4,000; the Amalgamated Soci ety of Carpenters, with 3.')0 members, and the Philadelphia Curpcnteis' asso ciation, with ISO membeis. The lat ter two organizations became affiliated with the league, but the brotherhood steadily refused to join for various reasons. The lehitlons became strained, and last night the brotheihood decided that Its men could work on opeiatlons where non-union carpenters and other non-union workers were employed. It also decided that Its members should not engage in sympathetic strikes. In retaliation, the Allied Hullding Trades league decided that no men affiliated with the league should wink with a brotheihood carpenter, and that the latter should be looked upon as non union , men. As a result, thirty-six business agents, representing all the trades In the league, began war on the unaffiliated curpcnteis eany today, and kept It up all day. The United Hod Carrleis' and Laborers' union put six extra agents in the field, and the entire delegation scouted a considerable por tion of the city, notifying the men to quit work where biotherhood caipen teis are employed. The building trades affected for the first time today In cluded palnteis, cablnetmaktis, ele vator constructois, hardwood finishers, wood, wire ami metal lathers, struc tural Iron woikeis, freseoe painters, marble cutters, house smiths, plaster ers and plasterers' laborers. Over 000 brlcklayeis whoaio not on strike have been foieed Into idleness because of the; hod can lei s" strike. It Is claimed by the league that many carpenleis joined the brother hood with the belief that It would af filiate with the league, which repre sents some 2.1,000 In the buildings. To provide for them a movement has been put on foot to organize new local unions of the carpenters' oiganlzatiuus affiliated with the league. If this movement Is successful It Is said the power of the brotherhood will be great ly em tailed. Quite 11 number of employers today signed the wage demand of the strlk eis, nnd the men leturned to wot It In all places where no brotherhood car penteis were employed. There were scleral additional strikes where em ployers had given their Dual refusal to sign the new s-cale, but the number of imi effected was not large. About T."i girls returned to work at George Campbell & company's worsted mill, where nearly .Vio girls stiuck yesterday for an Increase in pay of 10 per cent.

The bishop's address stated that the church will not abandon Its position on the liquor question. On the con trary, "aroused and indignant at the aggressions of the liquor power, at the Inexcusable miscarriage of the anti canteen law, and at the new perils in which the nation Is Involving Its new possessions, It will summon and pledge ull our ministers and people to a more determined struggle against this enor mous evil." As to marriage and divorce, the ad dress continued: In Ihc priMiicc of thu nil the chuiih lannot allow iu rule on Ibe subj.-ct of dloue and ie marriage to be in any lase iiiopcratlic nnd told. Let, if need be, tlic church law be amended to more peifeetly pxprem the N'w Testament rule of marriage Hut by the wh of Its public ( niblles, by Its publicities and judicious ever ie of discipline the chinch should keep itself pure and aid the eicil law and the pMctlec of society to become pure.

Grow,Who Fathered the Homestead Bill Nearly Forty Year3 Ago, Makes a Speech in Favor of the New Measure in the Interest of Western Settlers Sen ate Postpones Consideration of tho Clark Case. Washington, May 3. The house to day, without division, passed the "free home" bill, which has .bepn pending before congress for a number of years. The bill provides that the government shall issue patents to actual bona-fldo settlers on agricultural lands If the In dian reservation Is opened to settle ment. These lunds were taken up by settlers who contracted to pay from J1.25 to $3.7.1 per acre. Dy the terms of the bill the government assumes the payment of the purchase price to the Indians and changes the existing law relative to agricultural colleges so as, to Insure the payment of tho endow ments which heretofore have come out of the sale of public lands, in case ot deficiency. These payments involve $1, 200.000 annually. Of the 29,000.000 acres in Indian reservations opened to settle ment, for which the government is to pay or has paid $3.1,000,000, about S.000, 000 acres have been taken and about 2.000,000 are supposed to be still avail able for agricultural purposes. A re markable thing In connection with the passage of the bill today was a speech In Its favor by Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, the venerable ex-speaker of the house, who thirty-nin years ago fathered nnd passed the original home stead bill.
