THE STRIKE ON THE MUSEUM or ART.
TALKS WITH GENERAL DI CEsNoLA AND J. ~
CoRNELL-TROUBLE WILL CAUSE
SERIOUS DELAY.

General Louis p di Cesnola. director OF the
Metropolitan Museum OF Art. told a Tribune re-
porter yesterday that the strike among the work
ers on the addition 10 the Museum was exceedingly
unfortunate at the present time He said he had
heard that President Clausen OF the Park Board
had tried to bring about harmony among the
strikers, but had failed.
1T is really too bad" the General went on. that
there should have been a strike lasting all through
the splendid weather Of the last three weeks II
the men were fighting for higher wages there might
be an excuse for the strike. but, understand IT,
the fight is only one between two unions or course.
we cannot force the work on the building, which
belongs to the city although It is built for US II
the work had gone on, the roof would have been
put on and the plasteTng and other WORK could
have been done this winter. The effect OF this
strike will be only TO punish the Museum, and con-
sequently the public. The men who struck on the
building were the stonecutters. and IT is now I'M
possible TO connect the facade with the main part
of the structure. 1t is unfortunate that all this
time should be lost in view of the fact that IL
will be all Of two years before the addition can be
finished and uflly equipped and ready 10 be thrown
open 10 the public"
j. NJ. Cornell. OF j. b. & J. NJ. Cornell. who nave
the contract for the ronwork, said yesterday:
The present strike was begun against several
contracting firms, members Of the Iron League on
November T. for an increase OF wages OF ABOUT IA
per cent notwithstanding the fact that the iron
League had voluntarily advanced wages II per cent
IN the spring, feeling that that was all the state OF
trade warranted This strike has been directed by
the Housesmith and Bridgemen's Union. which rep
resents a minority of the structural workers EN-
poyed in the city, and whose members are prin-
cpally men from outside cities attracted mere Dy
building operations 80,
The Iron League has working agreements with
three OF the unions of their workmen, who are per-
fectly satisfied with the existing wages and hours
One OF the agreements is not to go on strike, but
settle all disputes by arbitration The Housesmiths
and Bridgemen's Union has uniformly refused at all
times TO agree TO this method. and has used In
timdation and assaults on the workmen VINO are
now employ ed to induce them to stop work 1t has
also employed all possible means with owners
architects and agents by threats OF trouble with
other trades allied In sympathy with II, TO prevent
the Iron League from proceeding peaceably with
their work but without success az all the work
on buildings stopped originally by reason Of the
strike is now progressing rapidly.
