RICHMOND, Va, May 1.-THE eley-
enth Convention Of the American Rail-
way Master Mechanics Association as.
sembled to-day. President W. 8. Chap
man, Of Cleveland, Ohio, deprecated the
antagonism Of capital and labor displayed
leqt summer in the great strike. There
was no doubt that the striking 6remen
and brakemen were aided BY power
stronger than themselves, who supplied
the brains and courage to carry on the
extensive strike. A discussion followed
by the report Of the Committee on the
"best form and material for locomotive
wheels and axles," also the best methods
Of counter balancing.
