UNION REGRETS DECISION.

The executive committee of the
Garments Union WAS in session for
several hours last night. Shortly be-
fore midnight President Cornelius
and Secretary Bowling issued state
ment, which contains no intimation of
an immediate strike, but. on the
contrary, suggests that further con-
ferences with the representatives of
the company before the employees
take a decisive step are very likely.
OF course the statement does not deal
with the possibility of the company
sending its instructors out on the runs
with students to-day, as it is gener-
ally expected it will, in which event
trouble may Immediately ensue. The
statement issued by the union fol-
lows:
The reply of the United Railroads to the
proposition submitted by the Carmens Union
is decidedly disappointing. The union had
hoped that the coneiliatory attitude 1t had
assumed and the moderation of the terms of
the agreement submitted by 1t would have
the effect of inducing the company to cease all
warlike preparations, and accept at least the
principal clauses in our agreement, and pro-
ceed to dispose of the minor matters in con-
ference. Instead the company has declined to
accept any of the new conditions proposed by
the Carmen's Union, and in Its very lengthy
statement giving It's reasons lor refusing 10
approve the unions proposition INDUCES IN
considerable sophistry, with the evident design
OF misleading the public on the merits of the
issues involved
In declining to approve Of the arbitration
plan proposed by the union the company tries
to make II appear that the union is endeavor-
ing to infringe upon the employers right to
hire and discharge. The provision submitted
by the union is not intended to destroy the
admitted rights of the company in this respect.
and does not warrant the strained construction
placed upon 1t by Mr.. Holland. Had the
officials of the United Railroads dealt exact
Justice to their employees during the last year
there would have been little or no necessity
for this arbitration provision; but such has
not been the case. The severity of the disci-
pline enforced has invariably been measured
by the standing of the accused in the union,
and the union in proposing the arbitration

CHAPMAN REVIEWS CASE.

Regarding the situation, which he
himself admitted looked very serious,
General Manager Chapman said last
evening:
The carmen to whom had been assigned the
breaking in of students refused to instruct
them after IL o. clock. This is. of course. a will
ful disobc6ience of the company's instructions
and a clear violation of contract. Last year
they refused to sign the cards of students who
had been ''broken in; this year they refuse
10 break them in at ALL We were compelled to
suspend a number of good men last year in con-
sequence OF their insubordinate action. This
matter will have attention In due time. The
answer and wage proposal of the company was
handed TO Messrs. Bowling and Cornelius to-
dav In their original interview and letter
these gentlemen asked that the company go
into a conference with the officers OF the union
over the proposed contract for the ensuing
year. and this conference or a written commun-
ication we expect in a few days In view of
the very generous application of the Straus
award which the company has announced. IL

the West by the conditions in the mines
and the cost Of living. Where q busi-

declared the Bishop.

Gus conditions during the anthracite
coal strike were not as bad in this re-
spect as the newspapers had made
them appear, although there was pick
eting and always would be in strikes.

stely do their men wrong" declared
Bishop Spalding.
He did not believe. he said, in SYM
pathetic strikes. When asked If he
would deny labor organizations the
right TO strike, he said the strike was
the one weapon Of labor organizations.
and 10 deny that right would be TO
deny die right to organize. But the
great object sought. he added, was to
bring ABOUT peaceful settlements with
cut strikes. Labor organizations, he
said had accomplished much good.

the company was shipping large quah-
titles Of provisions and stores to- Its
several carhouses and making other ar
rangements for a possible demonstra-
ton. 1t was also discovered that a
LEGAL detective agency had received an
order 10 place large number OF men
IN the various buildings of the company
about town. a fact that greatly added
to the anxiety of the general public,
which had received the news Of the
action Of the company In the light Of
an exhibition of determination tc
promptly meet any Interference from
any source.
Last night the executive committee
OF the Carmen's Union issued state
ment. which, however, contained no
intimation as 10 what action would be
taken in regard to the refusal of the
company TO grant the unions demands.
The tone OF the statement was exceed
ingly mild, and in it was expressed a
regret that the company had not been
a bit more liberal in its review of the
proposition OF the employees.
One of the prominent officials Of the
unicn stated that no trouble would oc-
cur for at least a few days"-that is,
not until a further conference had been
held. When the possibility OF the COM
pany attempting 10 put students"
aboard its cars to-day under the care
of instructors was suggested this off,
cial replied:
We'll, that is a different matter. If
they do that and discharge the union
men there is likely to be trouble"
Several prominent members Of the
Teamsters' Union stated last night
that their organization was in full
sympathy with the Garments Union,
and il the latter went out on a strike
the teamsters would very likely fol-
low and stop the rolling Of all wheels
in this city.
Yesterday afternoon a committee
from the Garments Union, composed
Of J. y. Copus, Robert Keyes and NJ.
James, held a conference with Mayor
Schmitz. who advised them to go slow
in ordering a strike and to be .ex-
tremely lenient in exacting COM
plianee with the conditions desired to
be imposed on the corporation.
The San Francisco call., 1904-04-07

question was clearly set forth in our state
ment of yesterday and there is nothing NOR
to say on that subject except to reaffrm our
intention not to assist the United Railroads
to educate strike breakers to take our places.
We have ceased breaking in students and
will maintain that position until negotiations
regarding a new agreement are concluded.
No serious friction has yet arisen, We are
pleased to state. because of action in this
matter and we sincerely hope none will arise
In conclusion we desire to state with emphasis
that If the professions of the United Railroads
in favor of peace are as sincere as are those
of the union there is little danger OF strike
