Stakeholder Unions Are Suspended.
The Brotherhood Of Bolermakers was
expelled at yesterdays meeting of the
Central Federated Union because its del
egate failed to report with the committee
which conferred with the representatives
of the New York Metal Trades Association
last week on behalf of the striking marine
machinists The Blacksmiths' and Black
smiths Helpers unions, which signed
an agreement forbidding sympathetic
strikes, were ordered to repudiate it,
If they fail to do so, according to the rules
of the c. F, u, they will also he suspended
Judging from the report OF James p.
Archibald Of the Brotherhood of Painters
OH behalf Of the committee, a sympathetic
strike on behalf Of the marine machinists
is not very likely now. Archibald told
how the blacksmiths had signed the agree
ment and reported the failure Of Del
egate Mckay Of the Brotherhood OF Boiler
makers to appear. He said that the del
egate had told him that he was forbidden
by the executive committee of his union
to serve on the committee.
II am afraid" he continued, shat the
power and influence of the committee will
be weakened 80 much by these OBJECTIONS
that it will not be able to give the assistance
that it should. II cannot be helped now"
James Wilson Of the machinists said that
his organization did not want any financial
assistance. They would not have asked for
any sympathetic strike but for the fact
that injunctions were being constantly Sc
He declared that the machinists would
continue the strike if it took two years to
end it,
George Fl. Warner the other delegate
of the machinsts said that the strike had
cost the Machinsts Union 81 600 week
for three months So far the union had
spent $4,000 principally in keeping nom
unio n men away.
Delegate Mckay then took the floor and
repeated that his organization had pre-
vented him from serving on The committee.
Delegate Paulitsch OF the Amalgamated
Sheet Metal Workers said that the action
of the machinists in signing the arbit ration
agreement of The employers association
was as bad as the action Of the blacksmith
and helpers in signing the agreement while
the trouble of he machinists was on.
The Central Federated also suspended
these unions yesterday: The Drivers and
Holsters Union, Electrical Workers Union
No. 90, United Rammermen's Union, Re-
tail Clerks Union No. 2s4, and the Brick
handlers Union Hall for non-payment Of
dues.

deeply, claimed that oil with gum in

were the bases of the best varnsh But
whether he was right or wrong no one
knows. A violin consists of from thir-
ty to seventy pieces. We make violins
today just as they We're made in the
past, but we don't varnish them the
same. Some varnishes contained
ground amber. Recently. to the ruin of
a priceless Guarnerius, it's varnish was
