Early in the meeting yesterday. rep
resentatives OF the Central Labor Union
arrived and advised that the COMMITTEES
wait upon the Brewers Association for
the purpose OF bringing to an end the
STRIKE. which the Central Labor Union
could not recognize. The advice prevail
cd, and the committee went to see the
members Of the Brewers Association in
conference at the Office of Leon Tobriner
When the proposition was made to
the members of the union in meeting at
the Hotel Royal the committee encoun-
tered a stumbling block. The drivers did
not want TO accept the terms recommend
ed by the committee
Back to the Brewers Association went
the committee yesterday afternoon and
another conference was held. According
to report there was much plain talk and
both sides worked nearer to the real bot
tom Of matters than they had ever done
before. Mr. Dietrich of the Central Ia
Dor Union, acted rather as a mediator
and did much to bring about the final
amicable adjustment. The contract finally
adopted was then brought up for consid-
Grafton. According to the statement of
Mr.. Tobriner, this contract was the one
which II had been the intention OF the
brewers Association 20 submit TO the

over the committee at once set out for a
meeting, which was fixed for 8 o'clock last
night

We're loud in irsrecommendation that
the contract last proposed should be ac-
cepted. The general feeling il appears
was that the Drivers Union was getting
more concessions than did most new
unions
Finally a vote vas taken and il was
decided to accept the contract. The COM
mittee was instructed to have the con-
tract signed at once by the parties inter-
ested. Mr.. Tobriner was found at the
Ebbitt House and he signed the contract
on behalf of the Brewers Associat tfoD
With few exceptions everybody appears
Well satisfied. Concessions were made on
both sides. The first demand for an in

was no attempt made to interfeS with
/ Wu Ting-fang, who delivered the annual
! Fourth of July Grafton at independence
Hall today, but he received a most cor
dial greeting. The exercises were opened
with prayer by Bishop o. w. Whitaker
Councilman jacob Henderson delivered
an address and the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was read.
There were between 5000 and 1000 peo-
pie who stood in the intense heat in In
dependence Square to listen to the Chi
nese diplomatist.
The Fourth of July, 1776, he said, mark
ed an event of transcendental Importance
in Anne erican annals and had powerfully
influenced the course of political deveI-
opment throughout the world. July
Fourth had been made memorable, too,
by other events of national Importance
and he cited the fact that on that day
in 1926, John Adams and Thomas Jeffer-
son, two OF the foremost signers Of the
DECLARATION of independence. took their
flight tOsether to the world beyond. 1t
was on a Fourth of July that Nicksburg
surrendered to Grant, and on the same
day three years ago that the news of
the great naval victory off Santiago
spread like wildfre throughout the coun-
try. He added:
According to popular belief. China is
as far removed from the United States
as the east is from the west, not merely
I'm geographical position. but in other
respects also. China is an Eastern mon
archy; the United States is a Western
Republic. The one is old; the other is
modern. 1t might seem that there could
be no bond of sympathy between the two
But not so. The truth is that the Gov
ernment of China and the Government of
the United States rest upon the same
foundation-that the people are sover-
eign. You believe in the choice of public
officers through the ballot box; We
through the examination hail. In China
we endeavor to attain the same end of
good government by different road. The
competitive examinations are open to all.

fact that the announcement of the with
drawal of the allied troops from China
WHICH the Beers had long expected
would give an impetus to business, was
almost wholly without influence upon
trade last week. Its only effect was to
increase transactions in Chinese loans at
rising quotations. In all departments
the boerse had very bad week, with
lower quotations everywhere. The
causes were the unsatisfactory reports
from the iron centers and the general in
dustrial situation. In addition to these
factors the small offer made by the
Swiss government for the stock of the
SWISS Northeastern railway, preparatory
to the naturalization of the line, against
which the German stockholders are Wig
orously protesting, had a depressing eff
feet.
The weakest spot in the market was
the iron section, due chiefly to the fact
that the quarterly report of the Laura
works showed $4,000 marks less earnings
than the report for the corresponding
period Of last year. The discouraging
comments of the directors increased the
weakness of this department All iron
shares fell oft, the declines in some cases
reaching seven points.
The pig iron syndicate is trying to
stave off price declines and is Offering to
make years extension of delivery on
CID contracts, provided customers pledge
themselves not to buy foreign iron.
Nevertheless English pig is now selling
in Germany al 30 marks below the syndi,
cate price, causing an expectation that
the syndicate will make large reduc-
lions.
The general industrial situation is re-
garded as less favorable "The most
hopeful Of the optinists must now
admit says the Vossische Zeitung to-
day, that our business has entered upon
q crisis"
The mortgage bank scandal continues
to exert depressing influence. Shares
of the Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Pomer
anian banks have been the subject of
lively speculation and nave fluctuated
violently. First class banks continue to
buy the obligations Of the Pomeranian
bank, but the market for ether mortgage
bank obligations is very dull.
Speaking generally, bank stock is weak
and declining. Domestic government
loans are stagnant. the quotations being
practically stationary. Italians. how
ever, were frlner throughout the week.
