Walking Delegate is Endorsed By
 His Union

New York, Aug. f,A8y the action just taken at a meeting of the Housesmiths and Bridgemen's Union rejecting the re- quest of the Iron League for conference to settle the building trades troubles here.

A thousand cheering men marched behind and the police. on hand to act in an emergency, were swept aside unceremoniously.
 It is stated that scarcely a housesmith or bridgeman in this city is outside the union. and the decision to stand by Parks and the three men who were appointed on committee with him In the first in- stance and who demand recognition at the hands of the employers association before a settlement can be discussed, practically means that no great amount of building work can be done under present. condi- tions. because all other prances of the business are dependent upon the men enl- ployed in putting up the iron and steel work.
