BUCHANAN ACCEPTS NEW UNION.
VIM Grant II . Charter, and II VIII Take
In All Derelicts hut Parks's Pals.

Frank Bucha nan. president OF the Inter-
national Association Of Bridge and Struc-
tural Iron Workers, has offered charter
TO the New York Housesmiths' Union II
it will arrange to take in the iron workers
still remaining in the old Parks union,
Local No. 2. The fact came out after
conference between the labor committee
of the employers association, the execu-
tive committee of the Iron League and
the executive committee Of the new
housesmths' union.
The employers, though anxious to have
the tangle Strengthened out, in order to
start work on n number of contracts which
are hanging fire, agreed to leave the con-
ditions under which the charter will be
accepted to the new union. Its seer cretary,
P. c. Mcclure, said last night that his union
did not intend to worry about Looal No. 2,
hut If the employers wanted all friction
ended the new union would take in all
the old men except the Parks element.
Parkss closest followers do not expect
to be taken into the new union. When
the ema lgam ton is effected they will
have no union. Most of them will go to
other cities, and that will be the end Of
Parks's union.
The result OF the negotiations will be n
nounced early next week.

The mysterious shooting and attempt
to steal cab driven by Charles Miller i,
employed by Nodine 4 Son, Brooklyn

a few minutes before the cal! for cab that
was sent out with Miller in char ge, police
protection was temporarily Withdrawn.
Strikers frequently have attacked the
dri vers who have taken theiI places.
No arrests have been made. As no one
was injured and litt!e damage was done
to the horse and cab, it is not likely that the
culprts will he app, ehended. The livery

fact to-day hat the two women who had
been lowering about Abcel for day or two
were Miss Eleanor Anderson and her sister.

son had had an interview, but no outsider
was pre- sent at it. Other persons say that
Miss Anderson was heard to say that she
still loved Aheel. Miss Anderson and her
companion left Welland for New York at
o'clock. Her doings while in Weiland

that she will not be party TO pushing on
the prosecution OF Abeel.
