METAL WORKERS oppose AGREEMENT
A Letter From Secretary of Union Read at
c. F U. Meeting

letter from George X. Lloyd. secretary OF the
Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers. read at
yesterdays meeting of the Central Federated
Union which stated that his union still op-
posed to the arbitration agreement Of the Building
Trades Employers Association. One complaint
that the agreement with the employers which
the union already had would be violated If
the Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers accepted
the agreement. Another that the arbitration
agreement prevented sympathetic strikes. while
the agreement already in existence allowed sympa-
thetic strikes under certain conditions The writer
stated that 1t not the as labor unions had
been led to believe. that the Amalgamated Sheet
Metal Workers were opposed to arbitration.
ION the contrary the letter continued. we
have agreements with employers to run until Sep
TENDER l, 1906 which have arbitration clauses.
Now, we assert positively that delegates have
never ordered strike, unless 1t against non
union men or against employer violating the
agreement, except with the approval of the asso-
citation, and they could not settle strike except
with the approval of the association. If any of
our employers have ever paid, or offered to pay,
was done to permit that employer to violate his
agreement with US
After the reading OF the letter a number Of dele
gates reported that their organizations had con-
trbUted various sums of money to the Amalga-
mated Sheet Metal Workers TO enable them to
continue their night against the arbitration agree
ment.

NO SYMPATHY STRIKE.
One Not Expected in Shpyards
TroubIc-C. r. u. Suspends Union.

The threatened strike in the shipyards in sym
pathy with the marine machinists brought up
at yesterdays meeting of the Central Federated
Union and the Backsmiths and Helpers Union
and the Brotherhood OF Boilermakers vgor-
ousIy denounced for their action in apparently pre-
venting a sympathetic strike. The representative
of the boilermakers not present at the last
meeting OF the Central Federated Union committee
and representatives Of the New-York Metal Trades
Association in reference to the strike of the
chinists. in which the demands of the machnists
positively and finally refused. In the mean
time the BaCksmiths and Helpers Union has
made an agreement with the employers which for
bids sympathetic strikes. and has refused to go on
sympathetic strike.
The Blacksmiths' and Helpers unions were or
dered yesterday 20 repudiate the agreement and
failing TO do So will be suspended by the Central
Federated Union. The Boiler Makers Union was
suspended because its delegate refused to obey the
command of the Central Federated Union to attend
the conference with the employers.
James p. Archibald. who made the report of the
failure of the unions to get the Metal Trades As
ISOLATION to yield. said:
These trades which failed to assist the machnists
in a sympathetic strike have weakened any support
the machinists would have had. The delegate Of
the boiler makers said that the reason he did not
attend the conference was because the executive
committee of his union had refused allow him
TO attend it. 1t is pity that these three unions
have taken this action. The employers refuse abso-
Iutely to grant the demand of the machinsts for a
minimum wage scale of 50 a day. l am afraid tho
power and influence Of the committee can accom-
pIish nothing else, and that the movement in sup
port o. the machnIsts is weakened

time the bOilermakers. in the midst of the strike
talk, had two friendly conferences with the en-
ployers. Secretary Hunter. of the Metal Trades
Association, he said. was really the walking dele
gate of the employers.

sympathetic strike is cOntempla ted.
