Decide on ADMISSION of

From the Hall Pending the Discus
sion of the Report-The Contest
Promise. to Be Warm and Interest
ing.

Kansas city, Sept. 2s.-The creden-
tials committee today presented two
reports to the convention of the Inter-
national Association of Bridge ana
Structural Iron Workers on the status
of local union No. 9, New York CITY,
whose leader Is Samuel ]. Parks. and
which was recently suspended by
President Buchanan. The majority re-
ferred the matter to the convention for
final action, while the minority repors
declared the suspension of the union
was unconstitutional.
Parks and his fellow members were
requested 10 leave the hall until the
convention had disposed of their case,
and this they did peaceably and with
out ado.
The report of the credentials COM
uittee was read Immediately after the
convention was called TO order. The
shop, or inside, men were seated, as
were practically all the other delegates
save those from the contested New
York delegation. The majority report
referring the Parks matter to the con-
vention was received without demon
stration But as soon as the secretary
had finished reading tfle minority re-
port a dozen delegate jumped to their
feet ard demanded recognition. Presi-
dent Buchanan declared all were out of
order and after some delay requested
that all members Of Union No. with
draw. Parks was already on his feet
leading his followers toward the door,
and with witty sally at the presi-
dents expense all made their way
toward the committee room, where
they awaited any summons that might
come from the convention. At the re-
Quest of several delegates President
Buchanan instructed all newspaper
representatives and spectators to with
draw and in moment more the long
expected fight over the New York deae-
CATION was on behind closed doors. A
heated argument ensued Immediately
and loud words of the delegates could
be heard plainly In the hallway Parks
smiled complacently and said: We
VIII wen. Just wait. The convention
will decide in our favor within fifteen
minutes"

The election board is at work on the
Emmett Dickinson county case and will
probably render decision very soon, as
all parties are desirous that the matter
should be settled quickly. From the
preliminary statements made 1t was ap-
parent that the sole question at issue
is whether or not any convention was
held. The Dickinson county people
hold t;,a thara was never at any time
a legal convention for at no time did
a quorum of the members of the con-
ventionN take part. To have made the
convention legal at least eight persons
should have taken part and that just
half of the convention was not auehor-
ized to do business. The point is one
that the election will have to face
squarely.

MAY CLOSE ITS PLANTS.
Steel Corporation and Amalgamated
Association Can Not Agree.

Pittsburg. Sept. 23.-The United
States Steel Corporation may close all
its sheet steel plants IN the near fu-
ture, unless the Amalganated Assocfa-
tion viii consent to a reduction under
the same plan as agreed upon last fall
The reason for this attitude is an over
stocked market and the dullness OF
trade at this time of the year. Last
year the Amalgamated Association ac-
cepted a reduction of per cent on all
material made for foreign orders and
the steel company, it is said, Intends to
make similar reduction this year.
President Shaffer, of the Amalga-
mated, stated he felt sure the limit
would not be changed and that exist
ing conditions do not warrant it.
