'V > Th© Ch&Ir of Death* * The preparations for Kemmler*a execu­ tion had been iuily Completed, and the shock of the law's thunderbolt would have pierced his body within le*s than twelve hours except for the interference or Lawyer Shermr.n in his behalf. The fatal chair iff v^hlch the condemned man was to sit while he received the deadly electric current (an exact picturo of which is herewith pre­ sented) is thus described: ' It is a comfortable chiiir with an upright back and arms that are adjustable to those of the man who sits in it There is a leath­ er-covered pillow for the head to rest against. Fastened to the back is an adjustable fig­ ure 4, which can be ra sed or lowered so as to come down over the head of the con­ demned. The technique of the thlAtr is very simple. Through the lower outer angle of tho 4 (figure a) there is a hole, and through this will pass a rubber tube con­ taining a rod of steel or copper, to which a wet sponge is fastened. This sponge will touch the crown of the condemned man's head. Another pipe, with webbing inside and a sponge, will pass up through the seat so as to touch the base of the spine, when the man is straDped firmly in his seat. This will be accomplished by the use of several straps, one .passing around the chest, another around the abdomen, which will dr&w the webbins against the spine, while the arms will be firmly straoped to those o' the chair on which they w it rest. Th<- feet will rest on a Comfortable foot rest, after the fashion of those in use In a barber-shop. Indeed, the strong resemblance of this instrument of death to a barber's chair has al­ ready caused tho prison officials to speak of electrocution In their roughly humorous way as a bald- headed shave. The electricity will bo generated by a dynamo whlcli has been placed near to the power-room, a thou­ sand feet away from the plaoe or execution, and the insulated wires which will connect it with the rods «nd sponges have all been istruncr In readiness for their work. There is nothing uncomfortable about the chair save the deadly current which goes with it. an<d if death by the latter be HS sudden and painless as Its advocates affirm, it will certainly be the most merci­ ful means of capital punishment used any­ where.

It is only by chance that the present step, ostensibly in bebalf of Kemmler, counts for anything, for had not there been a little delay in setting the apparatus in final order and in completing other ar­ rangements, the criminal would have been shocked into the next world on Wiesday morning just after daybreak. It was the Warden's intention, it is declared by those who have seen tho first notification, to have the deed done In that hour. Had his orig­ inal plans been curried out the movement of Kemmler s mysterious friends would have been fruitless. Tbe Warden, for some reason best known to himself, kept putting off announcing to Kemmler the change in his fortunes. It was a little before 4 o'clock when the War­ den went to tell the unsuspecting murderer of the great meaning of the paper he had signed and the greater meaning of the writ of habeas eorpns.

The number of idle men has now been augmented by the itrike of 2,000 brickmakers and brick­ yard laborers for shdrter hours and more pay. Late advices would seem to point to the uneasiness of labor fn other lines in that city, and this is likely to culminate May 1 in one of the greatest strikes on record1. "Nearly 20,000 packing house em­ ployes at Chicago are said to contemp­ late a strike for the eight-hour day. Harness-makers, clothing workers, (women), stair-builders, and other artis­ ans have either already announced their intention of going out or are said to con­ template such uction. This action on the part of so many trades is aljeged to be against the advice of leaders,who are on record as opposing strikes for the eight-hour day in any but the building trades. "The ^ effect pf such & widespread strike upon Chicago industries can not fail to be hurtful. That the wholesale strike is against the advice of tho American Federation of Labor is proved by the Issuance this week of a circular to the wage-workers by Samuel Gom- pers, president of that organization. In this circular he outlines the action to be pursued by the federation in its fight for an eight-hour day. 'Early advices,' Mr. Gompers says, 'had led the officers of this body to expect that the building trades' employers would meet the men half way In their efforts to adjust the hours of labor, but recent de­ velopments at Chicago and Indianapolis prove their expectations to have been unfounded.' He claims that the 'wealth, power and influence of the employing and corporate classes of the country are to be coneentratod«to defeat tho move­ ment,' and therefore recommends that action toward securing shorter hours in other trades be deferred until the build­ ing trades' fight is settled. Diffusing organized labor strength in various movements, ho thinks, means final de­ feat for all. '• "Money is said to be urgently need­ ed. While the situation in Chicago is sufficiently grave, that outside of that city Is only a little better, at least so far as the building trades,are concerned. Strikes of building or kindred trades for ar^ eight-hour day are reported from Sharon, Pa.; Portland, Ore.; Indianap­ olis, Ind.; New York city, and Joliet, 111. Nearly 1,500 coal miners are out in tho Coniiellsvllle region, owing to wage difficulties. This stoppage 'of production is said to threaten Jthe suspension of blast furnaces in Cleveland dependent upon this ^source for coke for fuel. The situation as regards a general strike on May 1 is not of the best. The carpenters and '-other building trades at Boston, Mil­ waukee, Birmingham, Ala, and Lan­ caster, Pa., are on record as proposing jito strike for shorter ho<u*s on that date. ^More cheerful advices are received from .Indianapolis and Wheeling, where the mfen have practically gained their point and gone back to work. At Louis­ ville, Philadelphia, and Portland, .Me., |it is said, no strike will occur, as the 'employers have agreed on an dmicable arrangement with their men. All in all, the situatiou in labor mat­ ters is more strained than for several years, au#l the outcome of the present >tencerted movement will be watched ,Jwith interest. Tho total number of "strikes in April was 120, involving 28,- |853 employes, whereas last year during •the same month there wore only 61 Strikes, involving 12,191 employes Since Jan. 1 this year there have bieen IJ03 strikes, involving H6,142 men, while ,jin the first four months of last year ithere were only 221 strikes, involving f4S,924 persons." Chicago disnatch: A number of the rtion-union men who claim to have been l-oughly handled by striking carpenters have appealed to the United States government for protection. A secret "«icoting, at which a largo number of non-union carpenters were present, was «held on the South side. They had been %old by a contractor that those 'who wdre from other States could appeal to the United States au­ thorities for protection If they .were not protected by Chicago or Illinois Authorities. Some of the men clalrneid ifchat they had been driven from buildings 'hy strikers and that they hav­ ing recently come here from other States were outrageously treated by the police. A committee was ap­ pointed to draft a suitable petition and forward it to Secretary of State IMaime immediately. The committee brought in the following*, which was adopted unanimously and sent oiuto Washing­ ton: "To tho Honorable the Secretary of State of tho United States, Washington, D. C.:Wo, your petitioners of the city of Chicago, being tradesmen and bona fide citizens of tho United States, now bv intimidation, threats, and actual violence, being prevented from following our avocatious to the ygreat injury of ourselves and families, humbly petition the government of the United States for protection in the ex­ ercise of our constitutional rights, now denied by a mob of riotous outlaws, who defy tho authorities and who main­ tain a reign of terror over those who differ with them on questions of trades- unions. •'We also state that tho above state of .affairs has ja.1 ready continued for several Weeks and that we have no protection pf city or State authorities here; hence 'We petition your honor that protection sufficient be attended us so that We may in peace and saTety continue our lawful avocations."
