The scene this morning at the headquarters
OF the Lumber Handlers and Truck-Drivers'
Union at Rosehill Hall, 427 Second avenue. was
A spirited one. Somehow or other the news
had leaked out that the trouble was at an END,
and every man seemed happy 10 think that the
great lumber tie.up was over.
The story told az the headquarters was to
the effect that last evening the Lumber Trade
Association sent for the committee OF the
Board of Walking Delegates, and that the two
committees held o conference at IL Broadway
which lasted until after o'clock. The men
had not learned all the particulars, and what
they did hear mad leaked out, as no one an
nounced the result Of this conference officially.
At the headquarters of the Association, at
IS Broadway, every one to-day seemed loath
to talk on the subject
When the members OF the Executive Com
mittee were apprised Of what had already come
to the knowledge Of THE EVENING WORLD,
they were astounded. a. an agreement was
made at the conference that nothing would be
said on the subject until q settlement had been
oil completed.
The members of the Delegates Committee
who waited on the dealers were: Charles p.
Rogers, Pi esident OF the Board Of Delegates,
and Delegates McCord, McFadden, McCracken
and Haegerty.
The Executive Committee were not In ses-
sion when the delegates arrived. but enough
OF the Association were present 10 hold con.
ference. Both sides were anxious to close uI
the whole trouble, and the general feeling was
expressed by q member of the Handlers Union
this morning. He said:
''The dealers are as sick of this tie-up as
we are, and don't YOU forget it."
The members OF the Association who were
IN conference with the delegates had no power
to act, or the whole trouble would have beer
settled last night.
As 1t was, the Committee had q good talk,
and interchanged ideas, which did q grea'
deal towards bringing to an end tie-up thai
was working financial havoc with dealers,
builders and the men alike.
After about four hours OF friendly intercourse
both sides came to tue conclusion that they
knew more about the ue-up and its cause
than they knew before. and the result wa
highly satisfactory.
The delegates signed the following docu
ment:
