P1TTsBURG LOCKOUT ON AGAIN.
Builders Object to Demand of Men and
Withdraw Peace Proposition.

Pittsburg, Aug. 6.-Unexpected developments
in the peace move of the Builders Exchange
League caused a fresh break in the plans Tor
the general resumption of operations next week.
After the proposals for the ending of the lock-
out were sent yesterday to the Building Trades
Council which stipulated that the league shouIo
employ only union hosting engineers pending
settlement of the scale. it was discovered that
with one exception, not a contractor in the city
was employing union engineers as such or hao
recognized the engineers union. No attention
was paid to the other contractors by the work
men, but they singled out A. & S. Wilson d Co
as the firm to attack and compel to sign the
union scale
The discrimination against Wilson & co. was
not relished by the league. and when a reply
to the proposition made by the league for a
settlement was received at the Builders EX-
change to-day demanding that the proposed
settlement be made at once and not within ten
DAYS, as specified, the league decided to with
draw the whole plan and stand on the original
requirement that the workmen of all trades
return to work on the Wilson contracts on eX-
actIy the same conditions as existed before the
strike began when the questions of employing
union workmen and the wage scales would be
arbitrated at once. go
places the lockout in the same position as 1t
was a week ago, and the fight is still on.

MAY DTSBAR LAWYERS.
Brooklyn Bar Association Consider
ing Several Cases.

Colonel Norman 6 Dixie chairman of the griev-
ance committee Of the Brooklyn bar Assoclaioh'
said yesterday the committee contemplated taxing
action in the cases OF several members OF the
BROOKLYN bar whose conduct recently would seem
to give the association grounds to appeal to the
Appellate Division for their expulsion from the pro-
fession.
The committee is said to have been moved to ac-
tion by the remarks made recently by Justice cay
nor in the case of James A Murtha, jr-. the law
yer accused by a client Of retaining moneys PAID
TO him in the settlement Of an action and who LETT
the city before he could be served with an order
to show cause why he should not pay over the
moneys Justice Gaynor remarked that Murthas
case should be presented to the Bar Association and
the District Attorney for action.
The committee is also considering the cases OF
Baldwin F. Strauss. who has figured recently IN
matrimonial difficulties: Benjamin F. Chadsey. who
was involved in an alleged nlismanagement of
estate in the Surrogates Court and who disap-
peared shortly before he to be tried on Grim
inal charge in the County Court, and Benjamin 4.
Valentine accused of professional misconduct in
connection with a real estate transaction.
Colonel Dixie said yesterday
In regard to the case of James A. Murtha, jr;,
we have the affidavit of his client, Mrs. O'Donnell,
not in session but that does not prevent us
placing the Murtha mater before the Appellate
three wives. If we could get the three wives to
come together we could do something but sup

committee but the difficulty is that they cannot

Valentine severely criticised recently in an
opinion by Justice Wimot N. Smith.
District Attorney Clarke said that Valentine had
been indicted for perjury and subornation OF per-
jury on charges sent to his office by Justice
Marean On March 25 1902. however. the indict-
ments had been dismissed in the County Court
the ground Of insufficient evidence. Mr. Clarke
admitted that he had the Murtha matter in hand.
