Parks Victory to
Cost Dearly in
New Y ork.
Means a Decrease
in Building Oper-
ations.
Special dispatch to The Call.

- EW YORK, Sept 24-By the
N victory of Samuel ]. Parks
before the convention Of the
National Association Of Bridge
m and Structural Iron Workers
at Kansas City IT is estimated
that there will be less building operations
begun In this city the coming winter than
there has been for many years.
Expert builders to-day said 1t would
make at least $4,000, 900 difference in the
years record and there would be no great
resumption. until Parks and his men were
finally conquered Members OF the En-
ployers, Association were emphatic in de-
claring that the removal Of the ban
against Local No. 2 by the convention
would have absolutely no effect on their
present plan Of campaign 1t will be the
capitalist who will be the faltering one.
He will prefer to keep his money in his
strong. box rather than see 1t lie idle by
possible cessation Of work on his enter
prises.
1.-THE Employers Association is abso-
lutely unconcerned whether Parks won or
lost at Kansas City. so far as its cam
paign Is concerned said L. K Prince,
vice president of the organization ''Of
course, 1t regrets to see tnat a convicted
felon is leader Of 1000 workmen. We are
recognizing that his apparent victory out
there will postpone the dissolution Of his
empire. We will go ahead dealing only
with unions that have signed the arbi-
trary agreement
'These union men who have followed
Parks blindly will be enthusiastic now and
no doubt will reaff1rm their allegiance to
him with extravaganza demonstration, but
the time is coming when they will realize
what this has cost them The realiza-
ton will be forced on them by the dis
covery that this winter there will be less
work for them than there has been in
many years.
$50 far as concerns building operations
now under way, 1t is safe to say that the
Euployers' Association feels perfectly
easy. It has enough iron workers in the
independent union to supply it's demand"
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept 24-Sam
ticalIy in control of the convention of the
International Association Of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers. Parks and his
friends are reticent about what they will
do with their power, but it is claimed by
the Parks element that r. z. Nedig,
president of the union Of which they are
members in New York, and Frank Buch-
anan. president Of the international as
sociation, have been repudiated and will
be. deposed.- Parks says that Nedig was
deposed before he left New York for the
convention, but that upon the return to
New York Of the delegation decisive ac-
ton will be taken In regard to Nedig.

GREIF A WINNER.
Nominations for County Clerk brought
The San Francisco call., 1903-09-25

ular deputy in the office of the County
Clerk, was an easy victor over Colonel
Thomas F. O'Neil. Leon Samuels of the
Twenty-ninth Assembly District placed
Greif in nomination. He spoke as fol-
lows:
esteem it a great pleasure to be able to
participate in the deliberations of this con-
vention, but esteem IL q greater pleasure and
a higher honor TO be able to present to you
the name of that grand man, that loyal friend.
that noble, stanch and stalwart Republican,
John ]. Greif. CApplause) The office OF
County Clerk gentlemen, in years past, has
been the storm center of many a political bat
tie, but despite the fact the battle has Waged
hercely above the heads Of the incumoents or
that office, no matter how fiercely. no matter
how strong the opposition. there has been one
man in that County Clerks office who mas
been thoroughly free from the breath OF suS
picion, and that man, gentlemen, is John D.
Greif. (ApDlause.)
The speaker continued at great length
praising his candidate. Time was called
on him and he had to desist. A. Van der
Nafllen Jr., who was a candidate for the
nomination, took the platform to second
the nomination of Greif and also appealed
to tho delegates who intended to support
him to throw their support to Grief.
Thomas Maher placed Colonel Thomas F.
O'NeiI in nomination. He said he knew
Mr.. O'Neil had no chance of securing tho
nomination, although he had some days
ago. He praised the colonel highly. He
told of his splendid military record and
of his high standing in the community.
The friends of George ]. Boyne evidently
advised him to withdraw from the fight
and his name was not mentioned. A roll
call developed the following vote: Greif,
29912; O'Neil, 1919.
Cheers were given for Johnny Greif
and he took the platform to thank the
convention and also to indorse the ticket.
Cheers were given for Henry ]. Crocker
and the entire ticket. The delegates left
the hall in numbers.

Miners in support Of mill men at Color
ado City and other points who had for a
long time been contending for an eight
hour day The mine owners, alleging that
a large percentage Of the men desired to
work if protection were assured, called
upon Governor Peabody for troops, al
though the local authorities denied the
necessity for such course. The Gov
ernor, however, decided that troops were
needed and on September ordered al
most the entire National Guard OF the
State, about 1000 men, to the district, un-
der command of Brigadier General Chase.
Since that time several prominent mem
bers of the Miners Union, including all
the members Of the executive committee,
which had the strike in charge, have been
arrested without warrant and held in the
guardhouse. Habeas corpus proceedings
were begun in their behalf last week
General Chase and his legal advisers held
that though martial law had not been
formally declared, 1t was really put in
force by the order issued by the Governor
directing the troops to maintain order,

diction.
