IT'S All EP WITH PARKS.
Board 0r Building Trades Regulates His
strikes.

The strikes of iron workers ordered by
Sam Parks since the shut down in the build
ing trades began we're officially repudiated
by the old Board Of Building Trades at its
regular meeting yesterday afternoon. As
Parks had, up to yesterday, controlled this
board, which is composed of the unions
holding out against the arbitration agree
ment of the Employers Association, this
action is the most crushing blow to his
prestige that he has yet received. Coming
on top Of his failure to force strikes in New
ark Pittsburg and other cities on the
contracts Of three New York firms, it is
regarded as a proof that his hold on the
unions is fast waning.

The jury for the trial OF Walking Delegate
Sam Parks for extortion was completed

half an hour earlier than ia customary, the

Parks is accused of extorting $500 from
Josephus Plenty, contractor. who was
putting in skylights in Jersey City and was
squared Parks for $500.
In getting the jury thirty-seven talesmen
of the special panel were examined. The
defence exhausted its five peremptory
challenges before the eleventh juror was
selected Then the defence challenged
John NJ. Waddell, a contractor, "for cause"
because, as he was an employee OF labor,
inferentally he was opposed to labor unions.
The Recorder did not allow the challenge
and Mr.. Waddell was seated.
One of the talesmen examined confessed
himself friend Of Big Bill Devery, Parks's
bondsman. He said that his judgment
would be influenced in favor of Parks,
owing to his friendship with Devery. He
was excused Another talesman salu tnot
while ne did not object to walking dele
gates he did object to Parks and the way
he fills his office. Several talesmen said
they had suffered from troubles with labor
unions.
While the tedious process OF selecting
jurors was going on a mild interest was
injected into the court room owing to the
appearance OF Big Tim Sullivan, the Con-
gresham, and a retinue of four men in
gray clothes and black sweaters, who came
to bail out one of Sullivan's constituents
The usual honors paid by court attendants
