Court Says Union Iron Works Nay
COMPLETE Contracts.

Replying to the statement published respecting
the appointment Of James Smith as receiver OF the
Union Iron Works of San Francisco. William Mel
son Cromwell of counsel for the reorganization
committee, said yesterday that he was INFORMED
that Judge Bailey rendered decision which "hlie
recognizing the appointment OF Mr.. smith as re-
ceiver of the United States Shipbuildlng Company
does not permit him enter into possession Of the
Union Iron Works The closing aragraph Of the
decision is as follows:

modified character as In no way to interfere with

erty and the receiver and his relations 10 u shaii
seem best.
The decision of Judge Bailey follows the prece-
dent established by Judge Putnam relating to the
Bath Iron Works Mr. Marshall of Guggenheimer,
Untermyer Marshall, counsel for the receiver
was seen after Mr.. Cromwell had made his state
ment. and said that the decision of the court did
not seem to him limit the power Of the receiver
10 any extent. He continued:
Our correspondents have informed US that the
Judge sustained all points. We have not
received the full decision yet but were informed
the Union ron Works Complete its Contracts This
for the purpose of preventing the cancellation
Of contracts by the government. The receiver
owns the properties. The Union Iron Works viii
be permitted under the decision to use the tools
necessary the completion Of the work on the
ships. That is all the limitation the receiver has
placed upon absolute possession.
The receiver is making every effort to bring
about an arrangement with the reorganization
committee by which the committee shall either ad
vance money to keep up the plants Of the ship
building company. approve of the issuance Of
receivers certificates. Mr. Degnan, assistant re-
ceiver said last night that there had been no con
ference yesterday between the receiver and the
reorganization committee. He admitted that a
conference had been expected, and that one might
be held any day.

CONTRACTS AGAINST STRIKES.
Pledges of Workmen Said To Be Against
Trouble in the Shipyards.

Henry c. Hunter, secretary of the New-York
Metal Trades Association issued a statement yes
terday in reference to the threat of a general
sympathetic strike in all the shipyards in support
of the marine machinists. The latter are on strike
for minimum wage scale of s. a dag. In his
statement Mr.. Hunter says. in part:
The only knowledge the members of the New
York Metal Trades Association have 5 the
proposed sympathetic strike in the shI yards is OBJ
tanned from the reports published in the
papers. No official notice of any such action mas
been communicated TO the associa ton. 1t is i'm
possible to what all the trades will do. but the
association believes that there will be sympa-
thetic strike by the labor organizations. which
have contracts with the stipulation that there
shall be no sympathetic strikes called on account
of labor disputes"
Mr.. Hunter also said that if the yards were
closed at present. either by strikes otherwise
1t would money to most of the shipydrd
ers The unions of some of the trades not men
toned by Mr.. Hunter have grievances of their
own, they say, and it is said, are willing to strike
if called on. These will be considered al the con
