favorites in the 2:19 pace, which proved one
OF the most exciting of the week. In the
sixth heat Miss Coleridge had the lead up
TO the last stretch. when Coast Marie came
in like a vhirlwind and finished a half

gansport horse, she was played strongly by
local admirers. John NJ. took the 2:3O pace,
like finding the money. He finished all three

WHY IRON LEAGUE rs OUT.
Left National Association to PreUent
Spread of Tie-Up.

Since the threat made by Sam Parks on
Friday night that strikes Of ironworkers would
be ordered in every city where members OF the
Iron League have contracts. the fact that the
Iron League has Withdrawn from the National
Association of Structural Iron Manufacturers
and Erectors has been very much discussed
The withdrawal of the Iron League from the
National Association took place over month
ago. but nothing was said about IL until last
Tuesday when 1t was mentioned incidentally in
a statement replying TO letter sent TO the en-
ployers by Frank Buchanan. president of the
International Association of Bridge and Struct-
ural Ironworkers. The following reasons We're
given for this withdrawal;
The members of the Iron League. finding
themselves unable TO obtain ma erial assistance
from the National Association of Manufactures
or from Mr.. Buchanan in compelling the local
union to live UP to its agreement. were reluct-
antly forced to withdraw from that body"
Among the numerous statements floating
around yesterday was one to the effect that the
league proposed a general shutdown of iron work
all over the country in the establishments OF
members Of the national association, in order
to bring tranquility here. The representatives
of the Iron League, however. say that one OF
was to avert the precipitation of such shut
down, which might have thrown a million people
idle in the various building trades. Inc tactics
therefore, that the Iron League wanted to avoid
are the tactics that Parks and the HouSesmiths
Union are talking Of.
