CHICAGO LABOR TROUBLES.
Employers Opposition to Recognize
ing the Building Trades Council

Employers Opposition to Recognize
ing the Building Trades Council.
The effort of President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor to bring
about settlement OF the Chicago labor
troubles has apparently failed. He was in
formed yesterday by a delegation of con-
tractors that the only way a settlement.
could possibly be effected was by the unions
withdrawing from the building trades coun-
ell. Mr.. Gompers was told that the con-
tractors associations are willing to make
agreements with the individual unions, ma
tiCDal and international, and also to make
the American Federation of Labor a party
to the agreements. but that no settlement
can be made with the unions of Chicago as
long as the building trades council stands.
Mr.. Gompers replied to the contractors
that, as he was a representative of the men
and practically the agent of the building
trades council. he could countenance no
such settlement this and would not
agree to it. He defended the existence of
the building trades council on the ground
that 1t was for the best interests of the
l3boring men, in spite of mistakes which
might have been made. The conference
then broke IN.

RUSSIA BUYS COAL.
Large Shipment From This Country
to supply Present Deficiency.

PHILADELPHIA. July 27.-The recent
purchase of Pennsylvania soft coal for
shipment 10 CrOns.adt on Russian account
was followed today by the announcement
that the British steamship Hotasu has been
chartered to load 1000 tons of the same
cargo for Gutujewsky. Russia IL is
thought probable that the coal Is intended
for railroad consumption. Russia Is Just
now suffering from coal famine, the i'm
portations from England and Germany,
added to the rather meager supply from
her own mines. being insufficient for the
demands of her rapidly growing Industries.
More shipments to the cars country are
looked for.
The United States government is in the
market for vessels to carry coal to the
philippines, for which IS per ton is now
paid as freight. A board Of inspection has
Just finished an examination of the ship
John A. Briggs. which recently arrived al
this port from Puget sound. with a view Of
purchasing her for coal hulk, to be sta
toned at Manila The result of the ex-
animation was not made public. but 1t is
likely that the vessel will be purchased W

recently bought Cor this purpose,
