TO TRY TO END STRIKE.
CiUic Federation to Confer With
Metal Trades Association.
SOME MEN GO BACK TO WORK

The New-York Civic Federation. organized to
settle and avert labor troubles. decided yester-
day to try to settle the shipbuilding strike. 1t
happens that Lewis Nixon, president OF the
United States ShipbuiIding Company, is chair
man OF the executive board of the federation.
The sympathetic strike OF boilermakers was
not extended TO his yard. He is therefore ex-
pected to use his influence to bring about
settlement. ...
conference will take place to-day between
committees of the New-York Metal Trades As
so,iatcn and the Civic Federation, at which
it is expected a basis of settlement will be
reached This was the result of conference
held yesterday between the executive commit
tee OF the association and committee of the
federation, consis ing of Marcus NJ. Marks A. B.
Smith ana Emerson Mcmillan. The federation
committee said that Its object was to get in
formation about the strike.
President Theodore Smith OF the Metal Trades
Association said that any suggestions Of the
federation would be RESPECTFULLY considered.
1t asserted last evening by Wallace
Downey, of the ToWnsend-D -Downey Shipbuilding
Company, that the strike showed evidence OF
going to pieces. Ship calkers and carpenters
who had struck were returning to work dt the
yards, but far could be learned none OF the
boilermakers who went sympathetic strike
in the other yards went back.

TALK OF EXTRA SESSION.
No Decision Yet Reached By Presi-
dent ROOsereH.
[Br TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE ]

Washington, March 13.-Ciossip regarding the
Instability of calling Congress in session two
three weeks before the first Monday in De-
cember has been general since the determine
ton OF the Republican steering committee this
morning to adopt the amendment TO the Cuban
treaty postponing the operation OF it's pro-
visions until they have received the approval
Of both houses OF Congress. Such a course finds
both advocates and opponents among the Lead
Of the Senate. The President has for some
time said that he would call an extra session
If the Cuban treaty did not ccma to A vote IN
the Senate, and he now holds that he would
be fully warranted in doing in view nf this
amendment That he will do before the
middle Of November is, however. most unlikely
and he has not yet decided to do SO at that time
Mr.. Roosevelt maintains that it would be only
just TO Cuba 10 secu.c the operation Of the
treaty before this years sugar crop Is marketed
but leading Senators argue that the passage Of
an act approving the treaty before that time
would have little effect the market in Ha-
vana. They say that the decreased duty will
certainly be anticipated by the BUYERS. and the
only effect Of postponnnent would be TO cause
Cuban sugar to be held in bond until the pro-
visions of the treaty went into operation.
Other reasons are advanced. however. which
might make IT advisable to call Congress in ses-
sion a few weeks earlier than usual. many or
them such as are always heard before a PrAsi-
Dental year The fact that there will be gen.
eraI election next year, and that II ~lll be de-
sira BILE TO have Congress Complete its business
and adjourn without enCTOaChing on the cam
paign, is set forth. In the opinion OF some Sen
ators no time should he lost in gaining the
Cuban trade and those who hold this view be-
ieve it would he wise to call Congress in special
session early enough 10 perfect the reciprocity
agreement before undertaking the regular legIs-
Iat1ve grind Anothe- reason is that the Demo-
Gratis have already determined Ia engage IN a
long tariff debate which Will consume much
time and few weeks added to the beginning
of the session might give them their opportunity
without interfering with the public business II
II also belleved probab that there VIII be some
financial legislation to be considered, and in
view Of the many conflicting opinions on this
subiect il cannot be enacted with expedition
There are some Senator's. however. who regard
an extra session as fnjudiCioGS- They advance
the proposition, anomalous as II may seem, thac
the shorter the session the greater the amount
of legislation accomplished. They cite the large
amount of legislative work performed IN every
short session and the weeks wasted at the be
ginning of every long session. and say that with
barge arno1.nt Of work before it Congress VIII
settle down 10 business more promptly and VIII
move more steadily than would be the case were
several weeks added 10 the beginning OF the
session.

the exports Of Germany to the United States in

business was exceptionally good. The company
was unable to avail itself fully OF the passenger
possibilities owing to the accidents to the
