Conference to be Held in
Pittsburg.

Of great interest to the striking ma
vhinists was the annual meeting of th'
stockholders of the Harlan Il Hollings
worth Company held yesterday afternoon
1t had been rumored for sometime past
that at the meeting several changes il
the officers of the company would be
made. There were no changes, however
and the old officers and directors We're re-
elected as follows: President, ii. r.
Cause; vice president, III. W. Cause
secretary. w. Dew. Dimock; treasurer
Samuel X. Smith; directors, III. II
Cause, ii. w. Cause. w. Dew Dimock
j. Rodney Cause and T. jackson Shaw
Many people were Of the opinion that
ait the meeting of the stockholders an
agreement would be made with the ma
-hinists whereby the men would return
TO work. As the majority Of the old
officers who have been fighting against
granting any concession whatever to the
machinists We're reelected. no immediate
change is looked for. That there is
some dissatisfaction among several ofilc-
ials of the company is well-known and
had the rumorcd changes been made the
machinists' rights would have mt once
been recognized.
Horace w. Cause, vice president of the
Harlan & Hollingsworth Company, was
quoted in one of the local papers yes
terday as stating that the recent con
ference between officials of the com
pany and the committee of strikers was
not asked for by the company. When
the matter was brought to the attention
of one Of the leaders of the strike last
night he stated that the conference was
positively asked for by an official of the
company or otherwise it would not have
been held. He further stated that the
reelection of the old officers yesterday
could have no influence on the strike
sitnation.
The management of the IIralan &
Iollingsworth Company is said to be
becoming more unpopular with its en-
ployeS if such a thing he possible.
The fact that the old officers were re
elected has made many of the employees
more dissatisfied than ever and more
trouble in other departments is expected.
The employees were in hopes that the
remorcd changes would be made and the
result OF the stockholders meeting yes-
terday was a great disappointment to
many of them.
1t is said that the torpedoboats Hon
kins and Hull are elephants on the
hands of the Harlan x Holingsworth
Company mt present. The extension Of
time granted by the government for the
completion of the boats was M some
time ago The company is subject 70 n
large forfeit for the boats not being
completed on time. There is much ma
chine work still to be done on the boats
and there are no machinists in the yards
to do it. Even with machinists work
ing on them they cannot be completed
in less than two or three months. More
trouble may also he expected from the
torpcdoboat Stringham. which will soon
he sent out on another trial trip. In ad-
tlition to the boats. ii is understood that
large quantity Of work is piled up in
the machine shop which should have
bern completed before this.
At yesterday mornings meeting in
Turn Hall the machinists were presented
with check for s25 from members of
Windsor Lodge. No. 80, Sons OF St
