inc Amaigamatea society IL willins .
be Swallowed Up.


TORONTO. Ont, April 7i.-Dsputations
OF the Brotherhood Of Carpenters and Of
the Amalgamated Society OF Carpenters
interviewed the Executive Council Of the
American Federation Of Labor here to-
night and proposed amalgamation Of the
two bodies.
The deputations represented that unless
the strike In New York was declared on
1t would be impossible to make progress
toward amalgsmation. They proposed that
the New York strike be declared OF upon
conditions mutually honorable. and that
committees OF both organizations meet In
twenty days to effect amalgsmation. The
Executive Council will act on the matter
tomorrow.
The news that the Amalgamated Society
OF Carpenters IL willing to be merg ed In the
bigger trades union, which ordered q gen.
eral strike against it's members TO compel
the society TO take that very step. was re-
ceived with some surprise last night by the
builders to whom IL was communicated.
Tho Amalgamated Association. though
the smaller organization. has the
powerful Board OF Building Trades behind
II. had been protesting ever since the strike
began that Il was fully able to I'LL the places
OF the , Brothe,hood strikers and would
tractors. whose business was being hurt
by the strike (the merits Of which didn't
concern them in the least, we're anxious TO
have II settled on any terms.
President Sam Gompers Of the American
Federation OF Labor, when he was here, a
week ago, suggested a scheme Of amalga-
nation and an Immediate settlement OF the
strike pending the carrying out Of the plan:
Amalgamation had already been suggested
at the New Orleans convention of the feder-
alton. but no steps had been taken TO carry
out the plan completely.

The Sultan's officials at Tangier i'm
plored the Spanish commander at Melilla
not to take the step, but the pretender had
threatened that unless he did he would

land, and, as Melilla Is dependent upon
these supplies, Spain yielded to what was
practically the Inevitable. Furthermore,
II she had not complied she would have
