LITTLE IRON STRIKE LEFT.
The New Union Supplied the Strikers Places
as Fast ~ They Quit.

The strike OF the housesmiths, which the
employers say has not stopped work on a
sin gle building, began to peter out yester-
day. Police guarded all the buildin gs, and,
fear Of the Parks zen tertainment committee
being removed, strikers kept returning to
work all day.
A subcommittee Of the international and
local committee Of the iron workers, which
is supposed to be engineering the strike,
tried to get the board OF represen tatives,
composed of the delegates OF the skilled
trades which have signed the arbitration
agreement, to take sympathetic action at
their meeting yesterday, but the committee
was turn ed dowr.
As far as could be learned, the only people
who really struck we're members OF Local
2, who had joined the new House
epniths' Union 70 influence the members.
They werc working here and there in the
gangs on buildings, and when one went
out he temporarily threw the whole gang
idle. p. c. Mcclure. secretary OF the new
union said yesterday that his organization
supplied the places Of strikers as fast as
they went out. He described the strike as
q burlesque.
4We have turned down Buchanan, he
said, because after protesting to fight
against the Parks element at Kansas City
he wanted us to keep the Parks crowd In
power"

RACE FUSS AT MAINE DINNER.
F. A. Munsey Says It's No State for Jews
Promptly COntradicted.

Promptly COntradicted.
The first dinner held by the Maine Society
OF New York since it's incorporation took
place at the Manhattan Hotel last night.
About 800 men and wo men were there.
Judge James McKeen, president of the
society, was the toast master.
Mayor Cyrus w. Davis of Waterville, Me.
who also Ia Democratic member Of tho
present Maine Legislature, made a speech
criticising the Maine committee of the St.
for the Maine exhibit He said that he was
sorry that the Legislature had not had the
forethought to make an APPROPRIATED n
for suitable building.
Frank A. Munsey was the next speaker,
and he stirred up quite fuss.
Il wish it were possible for the four COL
leges OF Maine to unite and form one great
State" said Mr.. Munsey. Il said to Presi-
dent Chase of Bates College the other day
that If such an amalgamation could be
brought about would be very glad to do
something handsome for it.
Maine is great State for training men
and women. Ii is the Scotland of America,
and in Scotland we get the peerless race of
the world with whom no one can compete
mot even the Jews. II is historical
fact that there are few Jews in the State,
IL II not, Mr.. CEalTHlan!
1There are quite a number" replied
Judge McKeen,
II didn't know that" said Mr.. Munsey
There we're very few when left it,twenty-
one years ago.
Mayor Davis took umbrage at Mr. Nun
sey's tone in speaking Of the Jews. He
jumped up and said with some warmth.
"There are large number Of them in
Maine, and they are our best citizens,
Mr. Munsey apologized. He said: Il
mentioned it as a fact. and not as re-
flection on the Jews. They are industrious,
and take care Of their own people. They
have industry, working capacity ambition
and strong religious sense. But the Scotch
are superior to the Jews, and the Jews can
not get the advantage Of the Yankees
G. F. Hartman, the next speaker, tried
to smooth matters over.
"The alteration between Mr.. Munsey
and the Mayor of Waterville prompts me
to tell story" he said, and told one to show
that the Yankee is the only man who can
compete with the Hebrew. and that the
Scotsman is the equal OF the Hebrew only
on his native heath.
The other speakers were the chairman and
Major Holman F. Day Of Gov. Hills staff.

PRESIDENT MKETS LEADING

Effort to Reach Agreement as TO Precise
Form OF LeEisIation Neeessary--FOur
Michigan Members Ready TO Renew
Alliance with the Democrats,

WARRINGTON. Nov. Io.-An important
tonight between the President and leading
members of the Senate and House. The
President had as his guests at dinner Speaker
Cannon, Representatives Payne, Dalzell,
Tawney and Hemenway and Secretary OF
the Navy Moody, Immediately after the
dinner Senators Aldrich. Allison, Platt OF
Connecticut, Hanna, Spooner. Hale, Lodge
and Wetmore joined the party:
The direct object OF the conference was
to get an agreement between the Senate
and House as to the precise form OF the
legislation to be proposed for approving
the Cuban reciprocity treaty as ratified
by the Senate last spring.
There is some difference OF opinion be-
tween the two bodies on this point and the
President is as anxious as the Republican
leaders in both houses to have the details
Of the programme arranged amicably In
advance Of taking up the subject.
The House members appear to think that
irregular tariff bill. fixing the rates on Cuban
imports according to the reduction provided
for in tho treaty is necessary, while the
Senators are inclined to favor a more simple
bill, setting forth merely that Congress
approves the treaty and authorizing the
Executive to pronulgate 1t.
lHcTt ~ every Itd6OL W DelcNo VildI al
agreement will soon be reached and that
the question will be disposed Of at the pres
ent session without row between the two
houses.
After three hours Of discussion to-day
the Michigan delegation adjourned with
out having reached decision as to what
it's position will be upon Cuban reciprocity.
A majority Ia disposed to vote for bill
to carry out the provisions Of the treaty,
but four Of the members are unalterably
opposed and are willing to renew the old
alliance with the Democrats for tho purpose
Of defeating the legislation by removing
the dinerential on refined sugar.
The majority desires to have the delega-
ton act as unit In favor OF the Presidents 3
policy and is endeavoring to win over the
Ainsirgents. Another meeting will be
held Tomorrow.
Although no formal conference has
been held on the subject, word has
been passed around among the Demo-
Gratis Of the House to stand for an
amendment to the Cuban reciprocity
measure to remove the i.o5 per cent. diff
ferential on refined sugar and also for an
amendment to eliminate the Ave years
provision In the treaty. during which time
the pledge ia made to make no change in
the tariff duty on sugar.
The Democratic stood as unit in the last
Congrese for the removal OF the diherential
on refined sugar.
