M0LDERs POSTPONE ACTION.
Executive Board Empowered to
Make New Contracts.

Full power to act in the matter OF making
new. contracts with their employers was
delegated by the ST. Louis iron rnolders
yesterday afternoon to their executive
board.
After a heated debate as to whether to
strike the conservative element won out at
the special meeting Of the n1olders at Wal
hAlla Hall yesterday afternoon. and tmme-
diate action was deferred until Tuesday
night, when the executive board will report.
With the other members OF the Metal
Trades Council. the iron molders desire the
nine hour day at ten hours pay. Their con-
tracts expired last March. but they did
nothing toward making new ones until
after the machinists had fought out the
same issue and established a precedent.
June a committee OF the laborers called
upon the managers of the twenty-eieht
firms employing iron molders and stated
their demands. These were not generally
granted. At present only three firms work
their iron molders but eight hours. These
are the Koken. the Globe and the Banner
Iron Works. which employ about fifty msld-
ere cut Of the 500 belonging to the local
union. The present trouble does not affec,
the stove molders. as their contracts are
binding until April. 1902.
