A report current three four months
ago, and denied at the time by representatives
of both companies, that negotiations were In
progress for the purchase by the United States
Steel Corporation Of a controlling interest in the
Nickel Corporation Of London, England. The
basis for that report developed yesterday when
it learned that Charles NJ. Schwab. acting,

capitalists, purchased an interest in the Nickel
Corporation and other nickel producing con-

PAPER STRIKE A VERIFIED.
4 TRUCE PATCHED UP BY THE MA
TIONAL CIVIC FEDERATION.

The National Civic Federation. through It's
representatives. in this city. averted a strike
in the paper industry yesterday which in a
short time would have seriously interfered with
the publication of nearly every newspaper in
the Eastern cities. The strike was to have been
started last night by the order of the Internal
tional Paper Machine Tenders Union and the
United Brotherhood Of Papermakers OF Amer
lea. and in a few days would have involved
about fifty thousand people
The principal mills involved in the dispute
those of the International Paper Company,
Great Northern Paper Company. Parsons & Co
and the Taggert Paper Company. The arrange
ment which averted the strike was reached at
a conference in the headquarters of the National
Civic Federation, Fourth-ave. and Twenty-sec-
ond-St., which lasted from II q. m. until = y. m.
There had been friction for nearly a year in
a number of the mills between the employers
and the employees and a number of individual
strikes followed. The mills had been running
night and day, six days each week. in two
shifts or tours Of twelve hours each six
months ago the unions demanded a sixty-five
hour working week by shutting the mills down
from o'clock on Saturday TO o'clock Mon
DAY morning some or the firms granted the
demand and some time later the Great North
ern company made attempt to introduce
a three tour system, by which there would be
three continuous tours Of eight hours each
seven days in the week. Though this meant
fewer hours OF work, the company with this
new arrangement raised the wages from S2f to
81 week, as II enabled the mills to turn out
more paper
The question Of working on Sunday was then
discussed, and 1t found that in the consu-
tulon or the union there was bylaw against
Sunday work They demanded a return to the
old system even though ii meant more work
ing hours. Other demands We're made on the
other companies and a general deadlock fol-
lowed, resulting in an order for the strikes
which We're to begin tonight
1t was decided at yesterdays conference 20
call off all strikes and defer all action until the
annual meeting of the two International unions
no Urhir talyeg
May. At this conference 1t is expected that q
uniformity of conditions will be reached which
Will be satisfactory to the unions this 10 be
followed by the signing Of agreements for wear
with all the companies. The companies recently
withdrew their quotations, fearing the disturb
ance that might be caused In the market by
impending strikes.

/ p. r. r. BUYS BLOCK FRONT.
THE NORTH SIDE OF THIRTY SECOND ST.
is ADDED To TERMINAL SITE.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has an
iarged its site for the union terminal station to
he built at Thirty third-st. and Seventh-ave,
In order TO have more room for the use Of pas
ssengers at the station and TO lay more tracks
There. The first plans for the station filed
showed that the site would cover four city
blocks. The blocks were those bounded by Thr-
-y-third and Thirty-frst sts and Seventh and
Eighth aves. and by Thirty-frst and Thirty
second SITS. and Eighth and Tenth ayes. The
company recently decided TO buy the block
front on the north side Of Thirty-aecond-st. be
tween Eighth and Ninth ayes.
Douglas Robinson, Charles :. Brown &
Co. who represent the railroad in the real es-
tate purchases or transactions have already
bought many parcels in the block front for tne
railroad. The properties in the block bought
are a follows: Nos 1874 and 396 Ninth-ave., 20.6
by IS feet and zig by 40 feet. respectively; Nos.
$50 and 377 West Thirty-second-st., 10 by Go
feet each; No. 361 West Thirty-second-st., 1S-9
by $50 feet: No. 337 West Thirty-second-st.. %
by $50 feet: No. ;}2l West Thirty -second-St..
16S by $50 feet; No. 500 West Thirty-second-st.,
90 by $50 feet.
Under the old plan the terminal site would
comprise four city blocks, and under the present
four and half blocks.

GREATsINGER ALSO RETICENT.
HE SAYS THAT THERE IS A VAST DIFFER
ENCE BETWEEN MANHATTAN
AND BROOKLYN

President Greatsnger Of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company said yesterday that he would not
discuss the stand which his company would take
IN regard TO the effort that IS being made by Com
missioner Dougherty. Of the Department OF Gas,
Water Supply and Electricity to have all the
electric wires in Brooklyn placed underground.
He said that il would be hardly practicable TO
change the entire system from overhead to an
underground trolley. He explained that there was
a difference between Manhattan and Brooklyn
in the matter of placing wires underground
Commissioner DOugherty has no authority under
the charter 10 compel the companies in Brooklyn
TO place their wires underground but il is under
stood that he may obtain such authority from the
Board OF Estimate and ApportionmeUt. He has
asked the various companies to send representa-
tiYes 10 have a conference with him on the sub
ject Monday. -larch 81.
It seems that mmissiOner Dougherty, under
standing that 1t - 7 be hard 10 compel the rail
road companies .e to the underground troll
