THE BTFFALO STRIKERS
Now Seem Further From Settle
ment Than Ever.
GRAIN sHovELERs DETERMINED.

They Again Demand the Unequivocai
Abrogation of the Contract with
Mr.. Conners-F Freight Handlers Vote
to Ignore Bishop Quigley's Advice.
Buffalo, May 2O.-The grain shovel
ers last night adopted resolutions re-
pudiating all agreements made with
the Lake Carriers association and de-
manding the unequivocal abrogation
of the contract with Mr.. Conners.
The striking freight handlers altheir
I meeting voted to ignore the advice OF
/ Bishop Quigley, in which he urged
them to return to work under the terms
granted by the Associated Lake lines
at the conference yesterday afternoon.
! The action taken at these two meet
ings, 1t is thought, will end for some
time to come the negotiations which
have been in progres for over two
weeks to bring about a settlement Of
! the dock troubles.
The grain shovelers will refuse to
make any further propositions to either
the lake carriers or to the contractor,
and as the lake carriers some days
ago decided to withdraw from the cou-
flict the indications are that the strike
will be permitted tlo wear itself out.
The final conference between Con-
tractor Conners and the men was held
yesterday afternoon. The men an
nounced before they took part In II
that If it did not result in some agree
ment they would break off negotia-
tions. At this conference the strikers
proposed that there be inserted in the
agreement already reached with the
Lake Carriers association clause
governing the appointment of boss
scoopers. This clause provided that
the grain shovelers should submit the
names of ten men for each elevator,
out of which list the contractor should
select his boss scoopers. Mr., Con-
ners refused to agree to this PROPOSE
ton, and the men left the conference.
At o'clock President Mcmahon re-
ported to a meeting of grain shovelers
the result of the conference. A wild
scene ensued. The men poured out
their wrath upon the president and the
committee for having attempted to
make such terms, declared they would
have refused them even If the con-
tractor had accepted them, and, in tho
midst of denunciations of the con-
tractor, the committee, and even Bish-
op Quigley, resolution was adopted
10 lIe tutCl Iudl INC 6AStullNC NOA-
mittee representing the strikers should
establish an Office and wait there for
r. the Lake Carriers association to come
to them to agree to break the contract
with Mr.. Corners,
Another resolution was adopted pro-
hibiting the officers or the executive
committee from negotiating further
with Mr.. Conners or making any ad-
vances to the Lake Carriers associa-
ton.
Yesterday afternoon Bishop Quig-
ley reopened st, Bridget's Hall for the
use of the men. The grain shovelers
however, refused to occupy it, and es-
tablished headquarters elsewhere.
The International Seamen's union is
to take part in the struggle. 1t Is
claimed that the crews on the vessels
are assisting in the work of unloading
grain here. A committee of members
of the union is to begin work immedi'
ately for the purpose of melting the
crews of lake vessels to leave theil
ships.
