EMPLOYERS ORGANIZE
Attempt to Minimize the evils Of
.s-'.r '@7z. "9% IInionism. @-, - -ss

Buffalo, n Y. April 3.--The fifth annual
convention of the National Metal Trades
association ended yesterday. Perhaps the
most important action Of the convention
was the adoption of a resolution instruct
ing the. president and commissioner to
communicate with other associations SINH
lar in scope to the National Metal Trades
association with view to forming a per
manent national organization OF employ
ers. 1t is not the aim OF the ASSOCIATION
to oppose labor organizations, but rather
to combat the evils that have grown out
of uniollism and to secure harmony pc
tween capital and labor. + .'r
The boycott was condemned as coward
ly and un- American. Members of the as
ISOLATION were instructed to patronlze boy-
cotted firms in preference to all others
and the abolition Of the boycott will be
one of the primary principles of the pro-
posed national organization. -.
!. 1t was decided that the question OF
hours was a purely local matter upon
which the association could. take no uni
form action -E@ &. b.: ;.5
The following officers were elected:
President, S. w. Watkins, Milwaukee;
treasurer, r. A. Geier, Cincinnati.

Experimental Work a Success.

IhTG6 years ago chemists or the COM
pany were studying the problem of treat
ing the nickeliferous ,pyrotites so that sui
phur therein contained might be freed and
saved for use in the proposed sulphite pulp
mill. 1t was a problem that metallurgists
did not consider practicable, but Mr.
C1ergue needed a sulphite liquor and had
ores containing sulphur. and he thought
a way might be found by which one could
provide the other. To-day the way has
been found and now works for doing this
are in actual operation here. ,.-! ,..-+
1t has taken years Of experiments and
vast sums of money to make the thing
possible, but its benefits should be great.

The Contract Let.

After considering the sidewalk
matter for several months past
the Council has finally decided to
push the work of building the
walks at once, and at a meeting
held last Friday evening at the
tenn pOrary mayor s Office on Law
yerS Row a contract was given
the firm of Kelly & Pope for the
construction of cement walks on
both sides of Main and Market
streets, on both sides of College
streets and on one side of Bird
Avenue, North. The contract is
for ten cents per square foot, aud
this was the lowest and best
bid made.
The city estimates that this
contract will involve an expendi-
ture of approximately eight
thousand dollars, and only per
centage Of this amount will have
to be paid by the city as in a
large mum Der of instances prop
erty holders are anxious for the
pavementS to be built and are
ready to pay for them as soon as
they are completed. In instances
where property holders desire
the city to pay for the work and
allow them time to pay for same
this arrangement will be made
and upon a satisfactory basis to
all concerned. This means that
ali fences surrounding front
yards on these streets will prob
ably come down as soon as the
cows are taken off the streets,
and the appearance of Colum bus
will be improved very much.

General Strike Ordered.

The long -drawn-out trouble be-
tween the trainmen and the M.
& O. Railroad eliminated yester-
day at noon in a general order
from the Order of Railway Train
men for all conductors, fagmen,
brakemen, switchmen and others
to strike. The entire line of the
system from St. Louis to Mobile
and from Artesia to Montgomery
is involved in the order, and it is
understood that serious incon-
yenience to the road has already
resulted as a result of the men
going out.
Railroad officials. locally and
otherwise, as well as trainmen, re
fused to discuss the situation and
it is hard To learn just exactly
what effect the strike order has
had. At noon yesterday all
switching at Artesia had ceased
and the crews stopped work, and
it was said that passenger trains
and freight trains would run
through to the ends of their di-
visions, when they would be tied
up. The noon train from Artesia
arrived on the Extension all right
yesterday a half hour late and
the northbound train also
reached this city on schedule
time yesterday afternoon.
It is too early to tell just what
effect the order will have. Rail
road men, that is representatives
of the company, state that only
a few men have gone out, while
train men claim just the opposite.
To what extent the strike order
has been observed will be made
known to-day. The cause of the
strike is presented in the fol
lowing
Some time ago the conductors
and brakemen demanded a % per
cent increase in wages. This
demand was refused and the
men have since modified their
demands from time to time until
now they insist upon per cent
increase in the wages of passen-
ger men and a 10 per cent in
crease for freight men. On Apri l
the company voluntarily made a
5 IL per cent increase in pay,
and it is believed that they will
go no further General Manager
G. S. Clark and Superintendent
of Transportation H. w. Clark
are at present in Maryland at
tending to the e-interment of
the remains of their parents.
They declined to meet the rep
resentatives of the trainmen in
st. Louis, as they will be unable
to do so, but consented to confer
with them at Mobile on yester-
day. This, however, was unsat-
isfactory to the men, and they
quit work yesterday. "

Up They Go.

The Council has finally decid-
ed the COW question once for all,
and after June 10th cows will
not be permitted to run at large
on the streets of this city. This
step is made necessary by the
decision to luaugurate the work
of building the cement side walks
at once and the desire of many
citizens to remove their front
yard fences and to beautify their
grounds. AS will be seen from
the notice of the Mayor in this
issue the law will be enforced
after June 10th.
