SHOCK FOR UNIONS.
No Conference Until Shipyard
Strike Is Called off.

The Marine Trades Council which ordered the
sympathetic strike of al. the trades In the TOWN
send-Downey yards at Shooters Island. has met
a rebuff from the New-York Metal Trades Asso-
ciation. 1t was learned yesterday that while the
council was ordering the Strike on Monday nght'
it had letter from the association agreeing to
proposal to appoint committee to meet IKE
committee of the council, with the object OF aroi-
trating the difficulties. Though apparently the
council had made such arbitration impossible by
taking aggressive action letter from the councl
was received by the association yesterday asking
for meeting Of the two committees at p. M to-
day.
II. C. Hunter. commissioner Of the association
made the following statement last evening: IN
the Townsend-Downey yards the departments are
all running. except the painting department.
Twelve painters have been hired, who will go TO
work at the yards tomorrow. Men are returning
to work in large numbers in all the yards. ana
many of the strikers are conden1ning the strike
Mr.. Hunter then made public a letter which he
had written to the Marine Trades Council by in
structfon Of the executive committee Of the asso-
citation after long session rejecting the PROPOSE
ton of the council The letter said in part:
Inasmuch as the Marine Trades Council has de-
clared a sympathetic strike against the Townsend
Downey Shipbuildng Company: and this strike was
been notified Of the appointment of the committee
Of this association to confer with OF
that the committee Of the association will not CON

Gil until this strike is declared off,

smiths at Shooters Island. the ut&h who signed
an agreement, lasting until next September. when
the blacksmths' strike settled. by which all
future disputes would be settled by arbitTStion
Mr.. Downeg also said that the result of the trouble
would be probably open wards everywhere-that is
yards where union and non-union men were indis-
crminately employed. One Of the men at Shooters
Island yesterday morning had two teeth missing,
