INTERNAL BOX CASE.
Much ofthe Mystery Cleared Up-An AT-
 rest int y,,iuent.

| New York, May 12.-Much of the
 mystery surrounding the placing of an internal machine on the pier of the Cunard company was cleared up to- day and an arrest may be made at any moment. The police have learned that the box was taken to the pier from boarding house in West Thirty-first street, known as the "Currie House. and patronized principally by theatri- cal folk. The police also know the name of the man who sent the box from the house and have a good de-
 scription of him. Who this man is,
 however, Inspector McClusl<ey declines to say and the proprietress Of the es- tablishment on being questioned by re- porters regarding her boarder would
 say nothing except that he engaged a room about a week ago, that he paid
 his rent and that his effects were still in the house. To the police, it is said,
 She had furnished full information. When asked what the motive for
 placing the internal machine on the
 pier was, Inspector McCluskey con- tented himself with the mysterious re-
 ply that it was obvious"
 The tracing of the box was brought
 about by the voluntary statement of
 Joseph Rooney, Ninth Avenue .ex- press man, who went to the Cunard
 pier to-day accompanied by one of his drivers. Peter Bathe, who declared himself to be the driver of the green wagon which delivered the box con- taining the internal machine at the pier. Rooney and Bathe afterwards
 went to police headquarters and made
 detailed statement. Bathe said that
 on Thursday afternoon he was accosted on his stand in Ninth avenue by man
 who asked him to cart box from the Currie house to the Cunard pier The man paid him twenty-five cents and he went to the house where woman helped him to carry down the box from
 the second floor. He then drove to the pier, taking with him, for company, two fellow expressmen, onesof whom sat on the box on the way. After
 hearing the mems story Inspector Mc- ! Cluskey was satisfied that they were innocent of any complicity in the dy- namite plot, and dismissed them after getting a full description of the man who hired Bathe to cart the box. The man is described as being an Ameri- can, of medium height, with. dark hair i tinged with grey and well dressed in | light clothing.
 Detectives are keeping a watch on 1 the house tonight, evidently on the expectation that the man may return.
 He has not been seen there since Sat
 urday morning, the day when the box | was discovered on the pier One pecu- liar fact is that no one in the house
 remembers having seen the box brought in,

 Concerning the tean1sters' strike one of our leading men said yesterday: 'The report published in one of the pa- pers that the leading wholesale grocers had signed the teamsters' proposition is not so Not one of them has signed it. We don't propose to sign away our liberties.''
 Said another prominent man: We are willing to give higher wages, short CT hours, etc., but we will not sign away our right, as free-born American citi- Zens, to hire whom we see fit to hire. We will not yield up that right to any union. It is a preposterous demand. We will not be put under restrictions compelling us to say to applicants for work, You are all right, your character is all right, you are competent and able to do good service. but you are for bidden, in this free country, to work because another set of men say you shall not work Where is free America if we give in to such despotic dictation? Are unions to rule this country and take away the God-given right of every man to work, whether he belongs to a union or not?''
 Another leading man said regarding the hackmen's strike: we are getting all the help we want, and we are get ting all our horses shod whenever it is needed. We are willing to give liberal wages and hours, but we won't submit to the slavery which the union men ar bitrarily demand. We propose to sub- init to no such dictation as is proposed"
 Last night another meeting of the Teamsters' union was held at Union hail. Some small addition to the list of signers of the agreement was reported, but the chief firms are still arrayed against the. strikers demands. One of the union leaders said if they could get Smedley & Co. to sign, the way would be paved to securing the others. This strike leader also said that If the big firms whose teamsters are still working did not sign to-day, these. teamsters would be called out. All of the team sters working for the big wholesale gro cers are still working for their bosses.

TO FIGHT UNIONS DEMANDS
IMPORTANTDETERlfINATION OF
 kEW FORK EMPLOYERS.
Building Trades' Association and the Iron League Start Movement for Ag- gressive Action Against the Labor UnIons-subway Strikers to he Or- dered to Work To-day.


 New York, May 12.-The most import ant development in the strike situation to-day was the expressed determination of the Buildings Trades association, composed Of the most prominent con- cerns in the building business in Man hattan and the Bronx. and of the Iron league, which includes most of the enl- ployers of iron workers in this vicinity to combine for united and aggressive action against the demands of the labor organizations. Upwards of 100000 workers will be affected by the action of the employers.
 While some instances of violence oc- cured among the strikers in Brooklyn an understanding was reached between a committee of the Central Federated union and the leaders Of the striking rockmen and excavators that the men on the subway shall return to work to- morrow.
 The governors of the Building Trades association met to-day and practically decided to attempt to form a union si1n- liar to the labor unions.
 The meeting was attended by all the governors of the association with but two exceptions, and the sentiment in favor Of united and aggressive action was unanimous.
 As a result the following letter was cent out to every labor employer engag- ed in building in Manhattan and the Bronx. numbering between 2,000 and 5000.
 '"The time has arrived when employers of labor in the building trades are fac ing a, serious situation and a meeting will be held on Friday, May 15, for the purpose of determining conditions. You are earnestly requested to be present.
 Signed: Warren A. Conover,
 President"
 The trades to be affected have a mem bership os more than 100000 men. Most of these already are out of work either through the lockout of the drivers, by rhe masters, or their own strike. The Iron league also held meeting, J. M. Cornell, presiding, and took action upon the strike of the inside architec- tural iron workers which is now in ef- feet. On Monday the inside architec- turaI iron workers in even the smaller shops went on strike, and this was fol- lowed by most of the big concerns lock- ing their men out. It is estimated that through the strike and lockout about 5000 men are out.
 The secretary of the league, c. M. Cheney, gave out the following state snent: 3>s a 'r.'
 '"The Iron league and a committee from the Architectural. Iron Manufav- turers' association, and the Wire Mant1- factures' association met in the Fifth Avenue hotel this afternoon.
 "A strike committee was formed and resolutions passed for unanimous re- sistance to the strike of the inside arch ttectural iron working which is now on."
 The Mason Contractors association met tonight and endorsed the action taken by the governors of the board of building trades in calling for general meeting of those engaged in the build- F ing business.

Cotton Letter.
(Special to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
New York, Jan. 16.-May cotton sold
at $50 today, or ten points over the high
point reached some time ago. Then
profit taking began. Under the circum-
stances no one could be blamed for TAX
ing profits. On Monday May sold at SCI,
and this meant an advance of thirty
points. Three thousand dollars profit on
a couple of thousand bales in a week
That is making money very rapidly
enough to make a conservative trader
sell out half of his line. if not all. By
taking profits on nearly all his cotton
he is in shape to buy back on the first
smash. If none comes and the market
looks all right, it is an easy matter to
buy higher. 1t was the profit taking that
proved a feature today. Liverpool closed
in the air, six or seven points up, the
lin sight" figures, according to New
York were 10000 bales under last year,
and May cotton in New Orleans ruled
around nine cents most of the day. What
more could one ask for bull factors?
But the market has had good advance,
it will require active speculation to car
ry on the advance, and around nine cents
one can look for a setback. For this
reason we regard profit taking on any
further advance as the part of wisdom.
One can always get in the market at
a moments notice. 1t is not so easy to
sell out when the price starts down. A
pile of cotton has changed hands around
these figures and we would rather take
profits and wait for a setback than buy
more here. There is no change in the
position and will not be. If we don't
have a decided increase in receipts, the
market will start again for nine and
quarter cents. While the buying Juror
is on, take some money out of long cot
ton and stand ready to buy cotton on the
first break of fifteen points. Cotton in
sight to date 1901, lis bales.
Cotton futures ranged today as follows.
