No Radical Steps viii be Taken Until
Vice President Valentine Arrives.
At a meeting of the Moul3ers' Union
last evening, the present trouble which
the moulders are having at several Of
the Worcester foundries was discussed.
1t was expected that joseph Valentine
of Cincinnati, first vice president of the
International Union, would be present,
but he has not yet arrived.
1t was announced last evening that
three more union mouldars had been
discharged at the Allen foundry and
that the firm had decided to have
nothing more to do with the union.
The moulders substantiared the state
ment which appeared in yesterday 9
Spy that the Allen firm had recedeo
from their agreement with the moul-
ders. and that it would go back to the
former scale of wages, ~, $225 and
$3.50 per day. This leaves but few of
the 2S or 30 moulders employed at the
foundry, making $3.50 per day. A mem
Der of the Union told a Spy reporter
that the firm called The shop commit
tee of the Moulders' Union into the Of
fee asst Wednesday and said that the
old schedule Of wages would be adopted
and the men must work 10 hours.
The moulders are now awaiting the
arrival of Mr.. Valentine, and no radl-
cal steps will be taken until he ar
rives. He is expected daily.

asmuch as the other foundries in the
city have not granted the demands Of
the union.

FATAL MIS-STEP
Little Clarence Brooks
Killed by Cars.

Clarence Brooks. u years old, son of
Fri S. Brooks, 81 Grove street, watch
man in the Grove street works of the
Washburn & Moen works, was crushed
to death under the wheels Of a freight
car in the Boston and Maine freight
yard, about o'clock yesterday after
noon.
The Brooks boy, in company with
James McQuirk and Frank Callahan,
two of his playmates, had been about
the yard north of the freight house a
large part of the afternoon. About 5
O'Clock a switching engine with three
freight cars attached pulled out Of the
house. and Brooks attempted to steal
ride
AS he swung himself aboard the car
his foot slipped and he was thrown
under the cars. The forward trucks of
one car passed over his body and the
engine was stopped just as the wheels
of the rear truck started to go over
him, holding the body in such manner
that it was necessary to back up the
car before the crushed and mangled
body could be moved.
The boy lived about five minutes after
he was taken from under the wheel.
He was disemboweled; both legs and
one arm were also crushed.
The police were notified and the am
bulance sent to the scene, in charge
of officer Knight and Driver Wilson
They removed the body to Sessions
undertaking rooms, where it was
viewed by Medical Examiner F. H
Baker.
The boys father learned of the acct
dent soon after it took place and hur-
ried to the scene. He was frantic with
grief and it was with difficulty that he
was restrained from rushing to the
spot where the body of his son was
lying. The sight was terrible and the
trainmen thought it best that the
father should not see the body.
The boy was a member of the fifth
grade and attended school in Salisbury
Hall. He was a bright little fellow and
universally popular with his school
mates and teacher.
