Proposal for Arbitration

During the conference the manufacture CTS submitted to the macG1inists a proposal for arbitration subs tanttally as follows:
 "All strikes and lockouts to be called off; an arbitration committee consisting of the presidents of the two organizations and two members from each associate who shall arbitrate all present and future difficulties and whose decision shall be accepted as final by both parties to the agreement.
 On the second proposition the two asso- citations were united. The labor leaders after holding a meeting refused to agree to the first proposition and submitted a demand for immediate and separate arbi- tration of the Chicago difficulties. This the manufacturers refused to ratify and the conference broke up, both sides mak- ing what amounted to a formal declara- tion of war. The declaration Of the ma chinrsts took the form of threats of an International strike made by President O'Connell and Organizer Reed.
 . The manufacturers presented their side of the questions in resolutions, which as- sert that the meeting just ended was call- ed upon the express understanding that the president of the International Association of machinists had not only approved of tine general form of the agreement indorsed by the National Metal Trades association, but had sgnified his intention to call his executive council together to ratasy the agreement; reiterate the refusal of the h. ternational Association of machinists to sign the agreement or order men back to work prior to arbitration and declare that it is the fundamental principle of the Ma tional Metal Trades association to abri- trate labor disputes only in the absence of strikes and lockouts. and in conclusion de.

GIGANTIC STRIKE
 IS THREATENED MachiniStS and Manufacturers Could Reach No Agreement. THE CONFERENCE IS ENDED President OConnell Says That Strike Will Now be Called Throughout
 the Country-First Will be
 Ordered in Cleveland, O.
THE CONFERENCE IS ENDED

Chicago, March 1S.-After the conference. between representatives of the Internation- al Association of Machinists and the ad- ministrative council of the National Metal Trades association ended at 1:3O this morn ing, President James O'Connell, of the union declared that strikes would be called immediately in all parts of the United States and Canada. Such strikes would in- volve 100 900 men and cause to be shut down for an indefinite period plants having an aggregate capital of millions of dollars. Chicago labor troubles are responsible for the disagreement which is expected to pre- cipitate the general machinists' strike. Were it not for the fact that leaders of the maohnists union refused to call off the strikes that now exist in Chicago, Co., lumbus, O., and Patterson, N. J., the manu- lecturers and the leaders, it is believed, would have come to an amicable agreement and arbitration would have been perma- netly established between the National Metal Trades association and the Inter- national Association of machinists.
 Members of the executive board of the machinists' union, however, refused to call off the Chicago strike, as they declared that if they did, the Chicago local would secede from the International association.
 When the refusal of the mactLnists to end the strike was presented to the manufacturers they issued an u!t!matum to the la5or leaders and, on their refusal to agree to it's provisions, all negotiations were broken off. Before leaving the rooms in which the joint conference was held, President James O'Connell, of the international union, declared that the union would begin immediately to call strikes in all parts of the country. The first elf these strikes will be called in Cleveland. O. After all the large cbles have been tied up strikes will be called in the machine shops of all the railroads ir the countrY.

will render selections along the line of
march. They will march from Seventh

are in good spirits. as many confidently
expect barge stage of water by June 10.
The rainfall at up-river stations during
the night averaged nearly half an inch.
but few places report rises. The weather
man, however. promises more showers.
and this is what has caused the rivermen
to be hopeful.
A rainfall of an inch throughout both
valleys, on top of what has fallen. would
bring the desired stage of water and fur
nish employment TO fully 1850 men at
Pittsburg. besides giving thousands OF
miners employment in reloading the emp
ties that are now In the south and walt
ing to be brought to Pittsburg. There is q
big demand for coal in the South. as the
