No Discrimination Between

Walking Delegates Assert that
Bucki VIII Still Be Boycottod.

infinber which has been lied M in the yards
for more than month in consequence OF the
embargo which has been kept in operation so
long by the signers OF the Lumber Trade Asso-
oiailon's agreement, the result OF the Assooia-
uon's declaration of war upon the Building
Trades' Walking Delegates.
At the meeting OF the Association Saturday
q resolution was passed 10 open the Yards this
morning as non-union yArds.
When the men gathered at Ihe several yards
this morning no questions were asked a. TO
whether they had left their unions or not. All
of the old employees were put at work In Just
the same positions they had held before the
trouble began.
The same wages as OF old are to be paid, and
non.union men are at work alongside the union
men.
The general sentiment among tho dealers
this morning was that they woulu conduct
their yards az they see at.
II q man does not do his work satisfactorily
he will he discharged. II non-unlon man
applies for work he will be accepted If the fore
man Ia in need OF a man.
II an order 10 received for lumber from any
builder or contractor, and the dealer wants to
deliver It. he is going to deliver IT. In fact, as
prominent dealer expressed IL:
'Tne dealers are now going 10 run their
own business, and are not going TO be dictated
to by any one. The Union, as union. will
not be recognized. Every man will be treated
with as an individual"
On almost oil the streets about town loads OF
lumber piled high on the trucks could be seen
moving along toward buildings which have
been lumber starved for more than month.
There seems to be no objection on the part of
the Board of Delegates to allow the members
OF other trades to handle the lumber, except
that from Buck's yard, which, II is main
tained, will not be used even now.
Discrimination against Bucki's lumber by
the Unions will undoubtedly be more severe
tnan 1t was before the trouble began.
AT Charles L. Bucki 4 Co.'S ONCE, foot OF
West Thirteenth street, this morning. no cases
where lumber has been refused had been re-
ported.
A lumber dealer in talking over the situation
with an EVENING WORLD reporter. said: 81
10 not see where the lumber dealers have
gained anything out of their fight, unless It is
through forming a closer organic .tion.
"They started in to whip the Board of Dele
gates into handling Bucki's lumber and de-
manded an unconditional surrender. What
have they accomplisheii
1.-THE men won't handle Bucki's lumber now
wat the dealers have opened their yards. The
Fandler's Union still exists, and the employees
IN nearly every yard are the same as those who
worked there when they were looked out
"The dealers have, in my opinion, been
really defeated. 1t Is nothing more nor less
than a complete backdown on their part;
Other dealers do not look at the matter IN

ness, " as they term 1t, will more than COM
pensste for the loss of the weeks they have
been idle.
At Rosehin Hall, 427 Second avenue, which
has been the headquarters of the men during
the trouble, not member OF the union
could be found.
IAN the men have gone to WORK, " said the
bartender in the saloon below.
AT the rooms OF the Board OF Delegates those
present dld not seem TO be dlspleased at tha
way in which the trouble has ended. They had,
however, very. little to say.
The Board of Walking Delegates will hold a
meeting this afternoon, at which time The
whole matter will be considered.
The situation Is liaole to remain about the
same as now. The many men affected by the
tie-up are glad to get TO work again, and lum-
ber will receive hearty welcome at all the
buildings to-day.
Rooms at the headquarters of the Lumber
Trade AS 'oclation. IS Broadway, were almost
deserted this morning. The dealers who have
made 1t their business TO hang around and
oversee things during the long struggle were
absent, most OF them at their yards seeing to
the delivery OF lumber.
The Executive Committee OF the Boss
Trainers Association were in session at Teu-
toaia Hail, 100 Third avenue, this morning.
Herman SleRrst, the Chairman, said: "The
whole Association held a meeting here last
night, and we were waited uDou by a COM
mitIee from the striking trainers. They
wanted conference We told them that they
must let us know by noon to-day what they In
tended to do.
"If they do not accept our contract by that
time we will not recognize the Union and Will
hire all the nom n-union Trainers we can get
"Several bosses went to work this morning
with non-union men. More will follow this
afternoon"
The fact that timber Is plentiful again pleases
the boss trainers very much.
Full forces OF men have NOT been put on in
all the lumber yards, ana will not be for a
day or Iwor owing to the time 1t takes to get
the business machinery running again In proper
shape.
Pursuant to resolution passed at the gen.
eral meeting Of the Lumber Trade Association
Saturday Messrs. Kenyon, Bell, Williams,
Pell and slmonson are pr, pairing plan TO on.
set any boycotts that may arise In the lumber
trade.
One idea is to compensate the boycotted
dealer financially, on q basis OF the receipts ol
hls yard, and the other members are TO pay
assessments into the contingent fund accord
ing 10 the business done
Another scheme is to perfect plans to have
any organization indicted by the Grand Jury
which attempts to boycott a member of the
Association.
No plan has vet been settled upon.
