ROLE OF COMFORTER.
Molineux Assumes 1t Toward Meyer,
to Be Executed To-day.

NEW YORK, May 20.-Roland B. Mo-
lineux did his utmost to-day to console
Fritz Meyer, who. in an adjacent cell in
the condemned mems quarters of Sing Sing
prison. was looking forward to tomorrow
as the day of his execution. Meyer is to go
to the electric chair for the murder of
Policeman Frederick Smith, in October,
1897, in the Church of the Holy Redeemer,
in this city.
Molineux paid little attention to Meyer
until to-day. Gen. E. L. Molineux visited
his son. Saturday. and told him to be
brave during Meyers execution. Mouneux
says he does not dread the death Of fell
low prisoner.
Two Sisters of Mercy spent an hour this
afternoon with Meyer, who talked freely
with them. They also talked with the
other condemned men. The death watch
was established tonight. Meyer spent
most of the day looking at pictures in
a historical work brought him from the
prison library. During the day he bade
goodbye dozens of times to the eight men
in the condemned cells.

Big Organizations of Philadelphia
Have Buried the Hatchet.

nave buried the Hatchet.
PHILADELPHIA. May 2o-The fight be-
tween the United Brotherhood Of Carpen-
ters and Joiners and the Allied Building
Trades League, which was begun nearly
three weeks ago. was officially declared of
to-day. The trouble arose over the refusal
Of the brotherhood to become affiliated
with the league in the campaign for an
eight-hour work day. with increased wages.
When the movement for fewer hours was
first put on foot 1t was thought advisable
by the building trades to form one or
every building trade in the city, so that
the fight for fewer hours could be car
ried on more systematically. 1t was the
plan that where an employer of one trade
refused the demands of the men all the
other trades working on the same opera
ton should strike in sympathy. Thirty
eight trades became affiliated in the league.
only two of the big trades, the bricklayers
and the carpenters. refusing to join.
The bricklayers were prevented because
Of technicality in their charter, but the
Brotherhood of Carpenters absolutely re-
fused to become associated. This resulted
in the league ordering all its members to
refuse to work with brotherhood carpen-
ter. thus putting the latter in the same
category as nonunion men. This declara-
tion Of war caused many thousands of men
to be idle for three weeks, until to-day,
when the United Labor League, which has
been chosen arbitrator, decided that the
Allied Building Trades League should
leave the Brotherhood Of Carpenters alone
to work out it's own salvation. The Allied
League accepted the situation and the
members of the two organizations will now
work amicably together.
The employers very generally signed the
demands of the various trades.

ONE ARREST MADE.

ONE ARREST MADE.
The most serious riot OF the day took
place late in the evening at the intersec-
ton of Tenth street and Washington av-
enue. in the course of which II. w. Stein
beiss, secretary Of the National Building
Trades Council, was placed under arrest
but released later.
A switch had been thrown at the street
intersection and when a Bellefontaine
car, loaded with passengers, came along
1t was thrown on a dead wire and off the
track as well. When the train crew start
ed TO set things to rights they were greeted
with showers of stones and compelled TO
abandon the work until patrol wagon
loaded with police officers appeared on the
ground in response to a riot call. They
quickly forced the crowd to disperse. max
ing several arrests while so doing. Mr..
Steinbeiss was doing his best to force the
crowd back and prevent a collision with
the police when he was arrested. He was
taken to the police station, but released in
a short time. it being admitted that his
arrest was an error. All the prisoners who
were locked up were booked as federal
prisoners, the charge against them being
disorderly conduct in violation of the in
junction of Judge Adams issued yesterday.
The Metal Trades Council met late this
afternoon, and after long discussion de-
cided to recommend to all affiliated unions
that they go on a sympathetic strike when
ever asked to do so. About $500 men are
affected by this action.
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock the ex-
ecutive committees of the Building Trades
Council and of the Central Labor Union
will meet to consider the question of
sympathetic strike.
The general opinion tonight among labor
men is that the strike will be ordered.
