ARBITRATION THE ISSUE
OF ANOTHER BIC STRIKE
Emplying Lithographers Will Lock out the Union
Men if They do not Agree
to Arbitrate

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
NEW YORK. March 14-After a SER
les of futile conferences between the
employing photographers of the coun-
try and representatives of the various
unions in the trade, ten thousand
skilled workmen in the United States
and Canada will be locked out tomor-
row morning unless an eleventh hour
settlement is reached, and this is not
expected.
For several years there have been
serious differences between the en-
ployers and their workmen, the history
OF the conflict being very similar to
the disputes between the builders and
their workmen which brought on the
big strike in New York last spring.
So seriously did these troubles inter-
fere with the business of the employ
ing photographers that they suspended
work in some cases and much Of the
business went abroad. Both employers
and employees have strong national or
ganizations and last January the en-
ployers decided to require all the
unions to enter into an arbitration
agreement by which all disputes would
be settled without strikes or. lockouts.
A letter to this effect was sent to the
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1904-03-14

unions throughout the United States
and Canada. Before the unions them.
selves. however, could consider the
proposition the presidents of the In
ternational associations took the mat.
ter up and formed an offensive and
defensive alliance to oppose the plan.
Then the employers issued an ulti-
matum. informing the unions that un-
less the arbitration plan was signed
by March Is by the various representa-
tives of the unions they would no
longer deal with them as unions, but
would require each member of a union
to sign the agreement as an individual
before he would be allowed to work.
A final conference was held, but moth
ing was accomplished.
The chief objections to arbitration
on the part of the union men are that
II is contrary to the constitutions of
some of the unions. that arbitration
usually operates against the working
men and that many questions, such az
the open or closed shop, can not or
should not be submitted to arbitration.
The employers contend that they are
simply seeking stability in trade con-
ditions, and that they are willing to
arbitrate any difference that may
come up.
