FOR WAR
National Metal Trades Association
Appropriates $500, 900.
MACHINISTS TO BE CoMBATTED
Employers Are Perfecting Their Or
ganizatiOn and Evince a De-
termined Spirit.

New York, June 12.-The convention of
the National Metal Trades association
continued its session to-day. The closing
hours of the convention are being de-
voted to the completion of organization
and the final arrangement of plans de-
signed to strengthen the hands of the man
ufacturers in their fight against the strik-
ing machinists. The sum of $500, 900 raised
by assessment is to be placed at the dis
poSaI or strike committee to be used
IN behalf of the employers, That commit
tee is constituted as follows: William
Schwauhausner, Brooklyn; John w. Young,
Milwaukee; S. W. Watkins, Milwaukee;
Charles Bliss, Ansonia; N. B. Payne, Ell
mira; w. B. Sayle, Cleveland; Thomas E.
Durham, Erie; William E. Lodge, Cincin-
natl and E. w. Gilbert, Scranton Asked
as to the use Of this fund, w. J. Chalmers,
chairman of the press committee said:
What Chalmers Says.
l suppose we will use it as the strikers
DO, to support their fellows, pay pickets and
meet other expenses We used S166 900 in
the Cleveland strike, where We paid some
men bonus of $4 a day. There are millions
more II they are needed. We have Just re-
celVed telegram from the Pacific coast
Pledging ia out of 135 firms to membership
we nave delegates from San Francisco Seat
tie and Portland and the west is with us
We are gratifled to receive their support We
know nothing of a Cancellation committee
from Toronto or elsewhere and no man not
member will get hearing before us. We
seek no trouble but propose to protect our
interests and industry. We are perfecting
district organizations which will be in
measure independent, but all the members
will be in the national association and we
will work back and forth in HARMONY We
regard the outlook as satisfactory and are
elated at the support We are getting
We are suffering no losses arising from de-
lay on contracts which we were fulfilling at
the time our machinists struck, for all of our
contracts contain strike clause releasing us
from liability.
Question of Hours.
The convention will this afternoon dis
pose of the important question of hours
of labor. Just before recess a committee,
consisting Of w. Grant King of Buffalo,
F. H. Stillman of New York and ]. M
Frink Of Seattle, was named to report on
the subject. The committee spent the
recess in executive session. Sentiment on
the subject of hours is diversified. There
are advocates of a universal nine-hour
day, friends of a ten-hour day, with five
hours off on Saturdays, and a radical
party that is for a straight ten hour day
through the entire week.
1t is understood that the question of
wages will be left entirely in the hands of
individual employers and that no labor or
ganlzatlon will be recognized

with the rebuilding of Galveston it is
expected that some definite propositions
will be made to the people of the north

said. are favorable to the plan here out

is THERE Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury
ILLEGAL Taylor has directed
one of the immigrant
IMMIGRATION? inspectors noF in
the northwest to
make special inspection along the Ca
madam border from Michigan to Washing
ton state to ascertain whether there is
any truth in the reports that immigrants
are coming in at points in those states
contrary TO law. The secretary himself
does not place much credence in the re-
ports. An inspector was stationed in
northern Minnesota for five months last
year and there was so little for him to
DO that his services were dispensed with.
Since that time there has been a renewal
OF complaints which the secretary de-
termined to have investigated in order to
satisfy complaints and the departments
that there is no ground on which to base
such charges.

Metal Trades association. If it is to be a
fight to a finish, well and good, say the
men who are thronging Alexanders hall
these days.
Oscar Anderson, president of the local
branch, said this morning:
To-day is pay day for our boys. We have
just received over $1,000 from the grand

ing. The married men will receive Sc and
the single men 81 week.

the Federation of Labor in Mankato. Hearty
resolutions, pledging support to the machin-
lists, were passed. There were 260 delegates in
attendance and the gathering was one of the
most notable in the history Of the federation
AS to the twin city firms that have be-
come members of the Metal Trades asso-
citation, Mr.. Anderson and other officers
said that the firms did not represent the
important employers of machinists in this
territory. However, A. w. Strong, Sec
retary of the Twin City Association of
Employers, is authority for the state
ment that the Diamond, Twin City, Union
and Globe concerns have applied for mem
bership in the Metal Trades, and that the
fight must go on to a finish Mr. Strong
