DESIRE TO BE HEARD.
Requests Received From a Number of
Jewish Organizations,

Following the appearance here of the ex-
ecutive council of the Bnai Birth, a num-
ber of other Jewish organizations have ad-
dressed themselves to the President and
Secretary Hay, requesting an opportunity
to be likewise heard by them upon the
status of the Jews in Russia. The President
has, however, after discussing the matter
with Secretary Hay, come to the conclu-
sion that the ground was completely COW
cred at last Mondays conference; that he
has nothing more to say on the subject at
this time. and consequently that no useful
purpose would be served by additional hear
ings. Secretary Hay has been charged to
make such a reply to the Jewish organiza-
tions.
The petition prepared by the council OF
B'nai Birth has not yet been forwarded.
This cannot. in fact, be done officially and
1t may be that the extreme publicity given
to the petition by the press of the world,
for undoubtedly 1t will be printed in Eu-
rope, will be regarded as sufficient to meet
the needs Of the case.

LOCKOUT COMPLETE.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Ten thousand en-
ployes Of the George A. Fuller Construction
Company were thrown out of work today

grounds as those maintained by members
of the association. ~
Today the 10000 laboripg men who are
idle because they are members of building
trades unions have, been served with the
ultimatum of the combined contracting
constructors. That ultimatum is that they
will remain idle SO long as the individual
unions refuse to sign the plan or agreement
of arbitration and conciliation proposed by
the employers association.
