THE C. P. HE-UP
IS STILL IN FORCE
Conditions Are Exchanged But No
Agreement in Signt.

Vancouver. 8. c. March 6.-While
some negotiations are in progress,
looking to settlement of the strike
of the Brotherhood of Railway En-
ployes, there has been little practical
change in the strike situation during
the past twenty-four hours. A commit
tee of the Vancouver board of trade
has had several conferences with the
strikers in the hope of mediation with
the result that conditions of settle
ment have been interchanged between
the strikers and the company.
The strikers demand the return to
work of all peaceable employees and no
discrimina ton against the union. The
company is willing that the strikers
return to work as individuals, and that
none should be subjected to discipline
for anything that might have occurred
prior to the strike.
The company, however. declares that
it will not recognize the United Broth
erhood of Railway Employees. Meantime
the tie-up of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way and Steamship business continues.
A suspension of the mining of coal in
Nanaimo, likely to be handled by the
company'S blabor, is one of the in
direct threats should the strike con-
tinue.

ALL BRIDGE WORK
SUDDENLY STOPPED
Gigantic Strike Against Amer
lean Bridge Company
It Extends Also to All Companies
Using Structural Iron Manufac-
tured by That Company-The Va
riety Of Causes Which Brought 1t
About.

Philadelphia, March CA general
strike against the American Bridge
company has been called by the exec
utive board of the international Asso-
citation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers. This order includes all con-
struction work in the hands of the
company throughout the United States
and Canada, and involves thousands of
men in all sections.
When the order was received by the
House Smith Bridges Union number
three, of this city, strikes were called
on all operations where American
Bridge company iron was used in the
construction, although the erecting
contracts were in the hands of general
contractors who purchased iron from
the American Bridge company.
Frank Buchanan, general president
OF the Internationa union, and anoth-
er member of the executive board,
came to this city. AS a result of a con-
ference between representatives of sew
eral contractors and business agents
of the local union, the men We're order
cd back to work today on operations
in this city not being erected by the
American Bridge company.
An official of the union said today:
I'm New York the company locked out
the hosting engineers union. That ac-
ton forced between 400 and 500 of our
men to idleness. 1t was therefore
thought that if the fight between US
was to be forced by them it might as
we'll come now. The New York union
demands $3.50 per day after May 1, and
that is below the scale demanded by
the bricklayers' union
Other causes Tor the strike are said
to be the effort of the American Bridge
company to reduce the number in the
gangs of riveters who operate pneu-
matte hammers, and the employment
of laborers on work which the bridge
men say they should perform.
New York, March 6.-An official of
the American Bridge company said to-
day: The strike has been called with
out our receiving any prior notice of
any trouble. So far as we know, the
strike is in sympathy W III the hoistinS
engineers and reports from our fore
men throughout the country show that
everything is tied UP everywhere in
the country. We have always lived up
to our agreements with the men in re-
gard to the employment OF union men,
but the unions have failed to supply
us with union men. The question for
us to decide now is whether to employ
non-un1on men or stop work.
The organization ofiron manufacture
ers does not contemplate any action
against the interests of the men. 1t
does not intend to cut wages or do
anything unless driven to some action
by the men themselves"

Washington, March 6.-The develop
ment of commercial relations between
Porto Rico and the United States since
the transfer of that island to the con-
troll of this country has been phenom-
email. The people of Porto Rico now
find a market in the United States for
five times as much of their products as
they did in 1897, the year preceding that
transfer; and the people of the United
States find a market in Porto Rico for
more than five times as much of their
products as in 1897. Some figures just
compiled by the treasury bureau of
statistics covering the commerce be-
tween the United States and Porto
Rico in the calendar year 1902 and COM
pared with the figures of preceding
years fully sustain this assertion. They
show that the value of merchandise
shipped from Porto Rico to the United
States in 1902 was s9,634,176, against
s1,943, PSI in 1897: and that the value of
merchandise shipped from the United
States to Porto Rico in 1902 was Sl2,-
195, ,297, against 2,O23. ISL in 1897.
