CONFER TO AVERT A STRIKE
EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES
TOCETJJER
TOGETHER.

Representatives of the National Founders Asso-
citation and of the Iron Mouders' Union OF North
America brought together through the
efforts Of the National Civic Federation yester-
day to discuss in friendly way demands affect
ing $1,000 people throughout the United States
Canada and the Sandwich Islands. The meet
ing took place in the office of Ralph NJ Easley,
secretary of the Civic Federation, in the Church
Missions House. Fourth-ave and Twenty-sec-
ond-st. The National Founders Association was
represented by w. D. Sargent. president. of
New-York: F. F. Towne, vice-president, of
Stamford, Conn: A. c. Pessano. of the George
V. Cresson Company. OF Philadelphia: r. D.
Reed, of the II. b. Smith Company, of West
field, Mass, and John A. Penton, secretary and
commissioner OF the National Founders Asso-
ciation. The Iron Moulders' Union OF North
America was represented by Joseph F. Valen-
tine. first vice-presdent. of Cincinnati Ohio: NJ
]. Keough second vice president; David Black
Editor of The Iron Moulders' Journal; w. A.
Perrine. business agent of the Iron Moulders
Conference Board. of New-York. and James
Flanagan, of Elizabeth, y. J.
The associations of employers and employees
are both represented in the Civic Federation.
The meeting called to avert labor con-
fict all over the country demands made
by the union, the principal one being the nine
hour workday. The present workday is ten
hours in most of the foundries. Other demands
are wage scale and a change in shop
rules. The latter two were the only demands
discussed at the conference. which will be re-
sumed to-day, when the nine hour workday de-
mand will up. At yesterdays conference
il was found that the question OF wages and
shop rules would require time to investigate. as
every branch Of the trade has Its own rates.
and in many CT the branches piecework Is the
rule.
1t was agreed TO appoint Joint committee Of
two employers and two employees to get statistics
regarding the wages and shop rules in the vari
GUS foundries and report at another conference
which WILL be held May /. The committee
was made up of A. c. Pessano and John A.
Penton representing the employers. and Will
. lam A Perrine and Joseph F. Valentine. repre-
senting the employees.
a statement was made behalf Of the en-
ployers, which said in part:
We expect that everything will be settled
amicably The conference so far has been mar
mouious and each committee has been given
full mower to act The refusal of the local en-
ployers last week to grant the nine hour work
dav was onlv provisional We believe that
eventually the nine hour workday Will come.
David Black. representing the union, said that
Il looked as If an amicable agreement would be
reached on every point
