SHARP REPLY TO BUCHANAN,
THE ESILDING EMPLOYERS SAY
THE UNION BROKE FAITH.
Plumbers Have signed the Arbitration
Augmentation HOusesmiths at
WOrk-New Board OF Building Trades
Not for sympathetic Strikes.

The board Of governors Of the employers
association issued this tatemcnt yester-
day in regard to the Endorsement Of Sam
Parks's attitude made by President Bu-
chanan Of the International Bridge AID
Structural Iron Workers:
With reference to the statements OF Mr.
Buchanan. 1t is u fact that the union did
make an agreement with the members OF the
National Association OF Structural Iron Man
facturers, Of which the Iron League were
members. His assertion, however. that the
employers broke this agreement. evidently
made to mislead should not pass uncor-
rected They did not break the agreement;
IL was broken by he union.
This was notably so during the teamsters
strike and afterward when strikes were called
in sympathy on buildings at Fifty-hYth street
and Fifth avenue, Hotel Imperial new addi-
ton; New York Telephone Company build,
ing Bloomingdale Bros new addition ana
others, notwithstanding the fact that the
agreement distinctly stated that there should
be no sympathetic strikes. and that before
any strikes should be ordered the matter
in dispute should be arbitrated without cessa-
tion of work. The attitude OF the local union
has certainly been one OF obstruction, ana
this attitude is dictated. not to very large
extent. but absolutely by single person.
the business agent, who assumes to be dictator
in the building trades. The members of the
Iron League. finding themselves unable TO
obtain material ASSISTANCE from tnt
Association of Manufacturers or from MIR.
Buchanan, in compelling the local union to
live up to its agreement. were reluctantly
forced to withdraw from that body.
c. L. Cheney. secretary OF the Iron League
said yesterday that the situation was i'm
proving and more and more individual
housesmths were returning to work daily.
1t was announced yesterday afternoon
that the Plumbers and Gas Filters Union
had signed the arbitration agreement.
The delegates of the unions in the build
ing trades which have signed the arbitra-
tion agreement met yesterday at Curran 8
Hall, Eight y-sixth street and Third avenue,
and formed permanent organization to
be known as the Board Of Represent atives
Of the Building Trades of New York and
Vicinity A statement issued on behalf OF
the board, after its organization. said In
part:
The board intends to remain neutral in.
the present fight between the employers
association and the unions which have not
signed the plan of arbitration of the asso-
citation. but its unions are prepared 10 protect
themselves in case circumstances warrant IT,
II is the sense Of the board that the delegates
of unions signing the arbitration agreement
have lost none of their rights but one and that
was the indulgence in foolish and fratrlcidal
sympathetic strikes There have been few
complaints about the arbitration agreement.
We feel that when everything is Strengthened
out and the plan in full operation both the
union men and the employers will be the
gamers.

RIDDER DEFINES YELLOW DOG.
Mcclellan Won't DO Because He's Been
Too Close to Croker.

Herman Ridder. who returned yesterday
from short vacation, remarked that
when he spoke Of Congressman George B.
Mcclellan as a man the German American
Reform Union would not support he did
not mean any personal offence or any re-
fiection on the character of the Congress-
man
"Ke has been unfortunate in his associa-
tions,' said Mr.. Ridder. He has been
40 close to Croker that people cannot be-
lieve that he would be free from the
Croker influence
Mr. Ridder gave his definition OF a yellow
dog ticket.
"Any man who could approve the acts
of Croker under the last Tammany ad
rinistration fits that definition OF cand-
date" said he I'VE believe the Democratic
candidate for Mayor should be a man as
independent and OF as high character
as the Republican candidate. Mr. McClel-
Ian has been regarded rs Croker man
always and for that reason do not believe
he ia the right man to head the ticket"
