washington Dec 29-At the instance Of
President Roosevelt who has interested himself
n the reports from abroad Of naassacres and
contemplated massacres of Jews in Kishineh,
the State Department is making active inquiry
, through its diplomatic and consular officers
with view 10 ascertaining the exact situation
as affecting these people. The United States
consular agent at Odessa already has been heard
from and he informed the State Department to-
day that there has been no fresh outbreak at
Kishinef reported.

proves the situation to be serious as reported.
Mr. Wolf said that he had been impeIled TO call

the matter a character OF seriousness which
otherwise might not have been accepted.

G. A. FULLER &C. In.
JOINS OTHER EMPLOYERS.
Building Trades Association Ercited
accepts duplication.

The George A. Fuller Company was taken
into the fold of the Building Trade Employers,
Association yesterday. its application for mem
bership being accepted at exciting meeting
Of the Board of Governors There was consid-
cradle opposition on the part of some members
Of the board TO taking in the Fuller Company.
on account of it's opposition to the plans OF the
Employers Association during the summer. and
they voiced their sentiments in peppery speeches.
which were much applauded. The accession
of the Fuller Company makes the Employers
Association the strongest and most compact
body Of contractors in the building trade in the
country.
The application of the Fuller Company was
made some time ago. but the Mason Builders
Association, which suspended the Fuller Com
pany two years ago for failure TO pay a fine Of
$500 for alleged violation of rule of the
ganization. OF which the Fuller Company was
then member. had something to say. The
Mason Builders Association is the largest body
in the Employers Association, and held that the
Fuller Company should conform to its rules be-
fore it could Join the latter body Several
months ago President Mcconnell of the Fuller
Company admitted that the company not
then in the Mason Builders Association. and
said that the company got out because it did
not like some of the rules and that he had
heard that fine had been declared
The fine was paid yesterday. and when the
board of governors met 1t was thought that there
was nothing to do but pass favorabIy on the
application. Some members Of the board. how
ever, violently objected TO the admission Of the
Fuller company. They said that when the
Building Trades Employers Association was
making its fight for its arbitration agreement
and against the Board Of Building Trades the
Fuller company started on the opposite tack
and got up an independent plan of arbitration
recognizing the Board of Building Trades OF
which sam" Parks was then the czar. They
also called attention TO a remark alleged to have
been made by President Mcconnell. of the Fuller
company. questioning the ability of the en-
ployers in the association to carry out their
plan on the ground of inexperience in dealing
with labor
One member said in an excited speech that
when the Fuller Company had trouble it Op
posed the Employers Associations plans. but
when it fell out with Parks's union and got into
trouble itself it wished to get into the En-
p1oyers' Association.
When the opposition had talked itself out
tho in favor OF admitting the Fuller Com
pany took the floor. They said il would be a
foolish course. when they had won the tight for
the plan Of arbitration, to keep up a fight with
a big firm which was now working In harmony
with the association. 1t was shown that all the
grievances against the Fuller Company were OF
the past, the peace party said. and should be
allowed to remain buried.
