PARRY URGES WAR ON
THE LABOR UNIONS.
Says System Of Consultation Is Unjust
and May End in Chaos.

BUFFALO,, May 13.-Among the
speakers at the convention Of the piano
manufacturers today was D. M. Parry,
president of the National Association of
the Manufacturers. The never-ending
procession Of strikes, said Mr.. Parry
and the demands of organized labor are
arousing a fear that chaos in place of
order will be the rule
He condemned conciliation as now
carried out, as unjust, because it
simply meant taking the demands Of
the unions and scaling them down one
half.
anyone who objects to such arbi-
:tration, we are told, is against the
golden rule" said Mr.. Parry.
1T is remarkable the number of men
who are advertising themselves as
humble followers Of the golden rule
It seems to have become quite COM
mon phrase to boost ones self with.
''The conciliatory arbitration and So
called humanitarian policy is wrong in
principle land must inevitably result in
great injury as between classes Of
workmen and also in serious injury to
the industries Of the country, tending
to bring about general poverty instead
Of general material welfare
Mr.. Parry said immediate action of
manufacturers to combat the unjust
demands of labor unions was the soiu-
t1on of the problem.

An incident illustrative of the gen.

thus told by S. M. Sexton, editor Of the

lished at Indianapolis, Parry's home
town: "a cripple had a small grovery
near his works. Parry piled wagons on
the walk until no one could enter.
Parry refused to move his wagons and
the grocer caused the police to remove
them Thereupon Parry said he would
discharge any Of his employees trading
with the cripple. ). -.

WITH SINGLE UNION
John c. Havemeyer Says Challenge
Must Be Accepted by Organized
Labor AZ a%Body.

NEW YORK, May 13.-At a CONFER
ence between John c.. Havemeyer Of
Yonkers and the representative of the
local branch OF the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the details In reference
to the public discussion of labor ques-
tions were arranged.
Mr. Havemeyer says he does. not
propose to be drawn into a. discussion
with any single labor union. The ques-
tions to be determined are:
1.-Shall employers be permitted to
conduct q lawful business in a. lawful
way without the dictation Of walking
delegates from irresponsible and law
less unions?
2.-Shall employees who refuse to join
labor union be permitted to earn
| support Of themselves and families
by honest labor?
These questions will be divided into
about twenty subdivisions. Owing to
what he considers misunderstanding
of his invitation. Mr.. Havemeyer has
sent reply to the letter Of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and joiners
Of this city, saying they have mistaken
the character of his invitation in two
respects. He says:
I'm the first place, I did not propose
a debate or discussion. The meeting is
solely that the trades unions of
Yonkers may have an opportunity of
presenting their side of the question.
In the second place the invitation is to
all Of the unions and not to any single
one which may be disposed to accept.
II do not wish to be technical, and
will say that If the carpenters, ma
sons, and plumbers were to accept I
should be satisfied. To secure better
understanding and prevent delay per-
NIT me to make a more definite state
ment regarding the proposed meeting.
lit will be presided over by men
Of undoubted character and fairness,
subject, if desired, to the approval Of a
committee of unions.

as a political or other meeting"

NEW YORK, May 1s-Pending the
arbitration of their grievances most
of the 5000 strikers returned to work
on the subway today. Twelve hun
dred members Of one union of the rock
men and excavators refused to obey the
instructions of their president to re-

if they did so they would be assessed
for the support of other members of

LAND HOLDERS FIND THEM
SELVES UNABLE TO ESTAB-
LlSH POSSESSION.
Fox "Farmers" Are Complaining That
They Are Not Protected as Les
sees of the Land.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 81
James w. Witten, the special agent OF
the general land office, who investigated
conditions in Alaska last summer
has given the officials here a hard nut
to crack in determining the status of
the islands on which the experiment
of raising foxes has been conducted
for number Of years.
Prior to 1901. the islands were leased
to the holders, and the government
took steps to encourage those engaged
in the industry. In that year the as
sistant attorney general for the inte-
riOr department decided that the inte-
rior department had no right to issue
leases for the islands. and since then
the occupants have been without any
thing to show on what authority they
are in possession.
AS far as the leases go the islands
appear to be a sort of no mans land, as
the treasury department also asserts
that it cannot rent them out.
Fox Farmers Complain.
Mr.. Witten says the holders Of the
fox farms are complaining that they
are not protected. Many OF them have
been in the business for years under
what were thought to be valid leases.
Now that the leases have been de

Blue Foxes Raised.
Blue foxes are raised as it was found
that the silver gray fox. the fur of
which is extremely valuable, was OF
such a wild untamable nature that i,
would not live in the conditions neces-
sary on the islands
The largest number Of foxes killed
last year was 1865, on Little Naked Is
land. in Prince William Sound. It was
stocked in 1895 with twelve pair Of
blue foxes which cost the proprietors
$3.50 per pair. The four men on the
island have built houses and other i'm
