NEW YORK, March 26.-Conferences be-
tween committees representing the North
American Trust Company and the Inter-
national Banking and Trust Company are
being held daily with a view to the con-
solicitation of the two companies. An off,

IS felt to the ultimate result of the
negotiations. The North American Com

RABID AGAINST UNIONS.


CHICAGO. March 26-The industrial COM
commission to-day began hearing testi-
mony in regard to the labor situation in
Chicago from the point of view of the
workihgman and labor leader. Few repre-
sentatives of labor were present, however,
and Commissioner Kennedy said that if la
Dor leaders did not take enough interest in
the work of the subcommission to appear
subpoenas probably would be issued for
persons whom the members of the sub
committee believe are able to furnish the
desired information.
Michael Hovey, of Glencoe, a contractor,
but for years member of the gas filters
union in Chicago. took the stand to-day.
Mr.. Hovey said he withdrew from the
union because of its arbitrary and sense
less methods with its men and because he
believed unions to be the worst enemies
workmen ever had. "A workman who be-
comes a member of a union said Mr..
Hovey, "endangers the existence OF his
own family. for through the restrictions of
the union his own son is not allowed to
learn the fathers trade. Unions, said Mr..
Hovey, were made up OF three classes OF
workmen first men who were always able
to secure work at best wages; second, men
who did occasional work, and, third, no
madic class, which, through lack of ability,
were forced to wander from town to town,
and for this reason many OF them became
tramps and thieves. For when a man is
hungry" continued Mr.. Hovey, ''he will
hesitate at nothing" Hovey, in speaking
of the trades unions, also said that they
made more tramps and more inmates of
penitentiaries than any other agency, and
that the trades union was the father of all
trusts.
Stuart Reid. general organizer of the
international Machinists' Union, was the
only witness at the afternoon session. Mr..
Reid told of all the negotiations which
led up to the machinists' strike and de-
scribed the new form of union agreement
which the Siemens S Halske Company has
signed. OF the business agents of the ma
chinists he said that they were not dicta-
tors, and not even leaders, but rather men
with purely clerical duties whom the man.
ufacturers were never asked to recognize.
AS to the employing of men he said that
his union left the manufacturer the abso-
lutte judge of the competency. attention
and sobriety of his workmen, and did not
interfere with discharges for good cause.
He charged the Illinois Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION with upholding lobby to defeat
all laws in the interests of labor and read
from one of its reports some congratulatory
statements laws defeated, such

negligence Of their employers.

Cemetery Trustees Indignant at the
Action Of the Council in Charg.
Ing For Water.
Say the Association Can Not Pay.
and May Be Compelled to Shut
OF the Flow.
Matter to Be Brought Before the
City Officials and Relief
Asked.

The recent action Of the city council
in adopting resolution cutting the.
free water list has caused considerable
ill feeling on the part of the trustees
of the Marshall Cemetery Association
and steps will be taken to induce the
city fathers to recede. from their po-.
isition as far as 1t affects the cemetery.
1t will be recalled that the council, in
refuse the demand of the school board
to have pipes laid to connect with the;
new Arson school and furnish water
gratis, as the city does at the other
schools, trimmed the water list and
adopted the rule that all the public and
semi public institutions except the
churches should be charged low
meter rate. Now comes the cemetery
trustees to say that unless this position
Is receded from they will be compelled
to shut of the city water and do the
best they can without 1t. as they are not
able to pay for the water used. The
association, which is composed of the
lot owners of Riverside cemetery, is
not better situated financially than the
city and school district. and the truss
tees say that they have to do a great
deal of figuring to make ends meet and
at the same time maintain the ceme-
terry in Its position as the most beauti-
Iful burying ground in the state. With
out water for the grass and foliage and
flor the lakes and fountains the ceme-
terry would soon become a dreary look
+ ing place. The trustees argue that all
the people Of the city. whether lot
owners or not are interested in River
side and its maintenance, and insist
that IL left to a vote OF the people the
latter would say almost unanimously
that water should be supplied free.
1t is probable that delegation rep
resenting the trustees will appear be-
fore the council at the next meeting and
will present their claims to the privi'
leges heretofore accorded. Failing in
this there is talk of circulating re-
monstrance among the citizens.
