statement several other women were in
the room at the time, and messenger boys

emily enjoying himself and spent his
money freely. The girl is of the opinion
tina most of the old mans money went
for .refreshments.' She denies having
taken any money from him. and the
police are inclined to believe her.

of herself yesterday and put the officer
who arrested her to all kinds of trouble
in the effort to bluff him II of taking her

turbance and was fined $40. She spent

WILL SOON BE AT AN END
Secretary P. j. Mcclure Makes a
Prediction with Reference to
the Strike That Is Now
in Progress.

Secretary T. ]. Mcclure met the
grievance committee of the Building
Trades council at the strikers head
quarters on Lackawanna avenue yes
terday morning. The strike situation
was thoroughly gone over and dis
cussed. In the evening Mr.. Mcguire
attended a meeting of Carpenters
union No. 563, which was held in Car
penters' hall. At the conclusion of the
regular order of business he delivered
an address to the men,
At the conclusion of the meeting Mr..
Mcclure was seen by a Tribune man
and spoke at some length upon the
general condition OF affairs. Asked in
regard to the situation, he sad
THE general situation I consider to
be very good and I think the outlook
for a speedy termination of existing
difficulties to be also very good.
have seen several of the members of
the Builders exchange today and they
seem to be strongly in favor OF concili-
alton. think that next week will see
an end to the present strike"
He was asked regarding the state
ments made by members of the Build
ers' exchange to the effect that the ar
sidered by them, because the difficulty
had been arbitrated before the strike
began. He stated in reply:
"The arbitration plan is nEer con-
sidered by the national organization
except as last resort. We always
prefer conciliation before arbitration.
Evidently some of the members of the
exchange are not we'll up in the defini-
ton of arbitration.
Arbitration in all cases means the
referring of a discussed question to
third disnterested party Cancellation
means the settlement of existing diff
culties between the two contending
parties. This is always the best
method, for they are both more liable
to know each others desires and are
therefore better able to deal with the
question than third party.
The statement, therefore, that arbi-
tration was held before the strike is
! absurd, as no third party was called in.
Asked regarding the statement made
that he would be present at the meet
ing of the Exchange on Tuesday night,
he said: Il shall leave the city some
time tomorrow, but A. C. Cattermull,
| of Chicago, the president of the ex-
| ecutive board of carpenters, is in the
city and he will take my place here.
Mr.. Cattermull will be present at the
meeting if he is invited to be there, but
| not otherwise. He will be ready at any
| time to meet any member of the En-
change who may desire to see him."
1t is understood that the Building
Trades council are sending circulars to
all the Building Trades councils in the
surrounding cities. asking them to re-
fuse to handle any stone cut by Frank
| Carlucci.
