Central Labor Union Leaders Against the
Hasty Action of Council.

Central Labor Union Leaders Against the
Hasty Action of Council.
There was q much larger lobby ut the
midnight meeting than there was at the
one earlier In the evening. Word had
been spread around about the pro.
posed rushing tactics. and it brought
out a large number of the members
of the labor unions and particularly from
the Street-car Brotherhood. The Central
Labor Union sent O committee composed
of E. A. Perkins. ID. +. Kennedy. w. j.
Ross. w. c. futile and A. b. Loebenburg.
At its meeting earlier In the evening the
street car situation was discussed at some
length and with some warmth
One or the mem bers of tho committee eX-
you that the whole of organized labor is up
In arms against this haste OF the Council
The members OF the Council had better
watch what they are doing. 1T
atoms they had not better vote
for this franchise as il is. We hold
their promises. and there will be the great
est shakedown you ever saw around tere.
If this franchise goes into effect you will
see the greatest boycott ordered in this
city that was ever declared by
organized labor and it will be one that will
have q wholesome effect. We want n
scent fare. and we propose to have
it. We also object to foreign
capital coming into this city and
Mt the end of thirty years selling
their plant and pulling out millions of dol
lars ahead. You mark my words, If there
are not some sorry men in this Council if
this thing passes"
The street car brotherhood was not rep
resented by ~ committee. but there were a
large numbe, of it's individual members
present. They came TO urge the passage of
the resolution relating to the wages they
shall receive. and the number of hours they
shall work. which they introduced at the
preceding meeting OF the Council.

Possible Strike In the Iron Trade.

PITTsBURG. April 24.-The Pittsburg Post
will say tomorrow that the probabilities
are that the iron trade Will witness this
year one of the greatest strikes that has
ever occurred in this part of the country.
Certain it is to occur if the Amalgamated
Association is not prepared to pare down
the figures in the next years scale with no
stinted hand. The manufacturers look
upon q reduction in wages as an absolute
necessity to the life of the business.
They cite the fact that labor in
the South is much cheaper. and that In the
East manufacturers are favored. Though
as yet no action has been precOncerted on
the part of the manufacturers and no for
MAJ conferences have been held. the feeling
is that this year iron workers in the Pitts
burg district must ask for no higher wages
than are paid else The feeling Is
general that manufactured have been dis
criminated against by the labor organiza-
tions in this part of the country, and that
they can best afford to settle the matter
this year. while the business Is stagnated
aud while pxotits are out of the question.

STRIKES DECLARED OFF.

Santa Fe Employs Withdraw All Their
Demands ana Ask to he Reinstated.
Topeka, Kan. April 24.-The Santa Fe
mechanics' strike. which has been In force
since Saturday. April s. was declared off at
6 o'clock tonight. after q half days confer
ence between the Santa Fe officers and their
employees. The company retains the new
men employed recently, but will give those
strikers for whom there are no places the
preference in hiring new men here
after. The strike extended over the
Atchison, Topeka 81 Santa Fe railroad
proper, but did not extend to the auxiliary
lines, and the agreement effected this even
ing ends the strike at oil points where 1t
existed. The strikers concede TO the COM
pany all essential points at Issue. The
principal Issue was the making of q new
contract, which the company refused to
make. and the employees have simply re-
turned to work under the old contract and
abandoned their claim. The question Of
wages was not involved. having been con-
ceded by the company just prior to the
strike. A proposition from the commit
tee of strikers was submitted to General
Manager Frey Saturday, but as 1t EN- bodied
negotiations for q new contract and tor
opening the subject of wages the PROPOSE
ton was peremptorily declined and re-
turned to the striking committee. On Sun
day another proposition was submitted,
Offering TO return to work under the old
to the strike. This was accepted by the
company Oh the condition that the new
men should be protected and retain their
employment. This evening the striking
committee called on Genera Manager
Frey and accepted the terms. The best of
feeling seemed to prevail at the meeting
and all parties concerned appear satisfied
with its outcome.
