mated Sheet Metal Workers, who out
against the employers association 900 strong,
are planning to denounce their treaty with the
Fuller Construction Company, and that several
others unions which signed this agreement are
taking {. similar stand. The reason. assigned is

employers, including firms in the employers

they were willing to admit Long lines OF appli-

nearly thirty seconds was experienced here yes
terday afternoon. The shock was of the longest

One of these, Building Construction District No

regain its control OF the building trades, at least
In q measure.
Mr.. Hayes attended q secret meeting Of delegates
from the districts last night at Gramercy Hall
Seventeenth-st. near Seco3d-ave. No one would
say what was done at this conference.
District Master Workman Farrell, of District AS
sebiy No. 253 said in talking the present build
Ing situation, that undoubtedly the walking dele
gates, independent of the question Of graft" had
been exercising too much irresponsible power He
continued:
The best remedy for too many eympath etic
strikes would be 10 put the walking delegate the
same footing az the idle men when he ordered a
general strike That Is 70 say, that he should get
no pay while the strike lasted, JUST the strikers
were earning money, Heretofore the pay of the

is in command Of the gepdarmerie, has gone to
Baku. Many Cossacks are reported to have
been killed in encounters with mobs. Cos
sacks patrol Baku nightly, and every tram car

adequate wages and liability to dismissal on
trivial pretexts. Thus far no serious disorders
