Boston, Aug 15.-For the 3Sth time since the war of the rebellion the surviving veterans who fought in the union army assembled to-day in annual encampment gathering in Boston The encampment of the veterans as well as of the subsidiary organizations, including the National Woman's Relief Corps, the Ladies of the G. A. R., the National Daughters of Veterans, the National Sons of Veterans and other organizations was formally opened to-day under cir cumstances which seemed to prophecy a most successful week of parades, reunions, receptions, business and en- joyments. Throughout yesterday and during the night the Grand Army veterans and the members of the af- filiated organizations arrived steadily in this city from many sections of the country. Massachusetts Sons of Veterans stationed at the railroad terminals received the incoming dele gations and took them under escort to their hotels or headquarters. The American was seen everywhere, and red, white and blue bunting, the seal and badge of the Grand Army, and the words "Fraternity, Charity and. Loyalty" the motto of the order, were shown from the fronts of busi- ness houses, hotels, theaters, newspa- per offices and residences from one end of the city to the other Nota- ble in all the display was the city's greeting to the veterans as spoken by the flowers on the public gardens where beautifully designed beds had been made to reproduce the stars and stripes and the various insignia or the various organizations
 The visitors expected q week of ac- tiyity. There were fifteen events scheduled for to-day, principal of which was the parade of the union ex- prisoners of war, the Massachusetts naval brigade, iackies and marines from the warships in Boston harbor and others.
 Of this parade the men of the c. A. R. were to be spectators. Their

3O,OOO MEN IDLE.
Fight to a. Finish Between Trade Employers and
 Union Men.

New York, Aug 15.-To-day is the third and possibly decisive week in the controversy which threatens to put stop to building operations in this city for months to come. It is declared by the leaders of both sides that everything points to a fight to a finish between the labor unions and the building trades employers asso- citation over the question of the open shop.
 There are now about, 30, LOCO men out of work, including skilled mechanics and laborers, as the result of the present difficulty. There are about 6O,000 skilled workmen in the build ing trades i'll this city who would be affected by a general strike or lock- out. Tn addition to these it is esti- mated that 45,0OO helpers and labor CTS and 15,000 employees of material men would be thrown out of work, making a total of 100000. Their loss in wages would amount In round figures to $1O,OOO,OOO a month, in ad- ditfon to which the capital of the l. GOO members of the building trades employers association and the mil- lions of dollars invested in property undergoing improvement would be tied up
 The employers declare they are de termined that the arbitration agree ment year ago shall be repeated with the open shop policy as the alterna- tive.
 In connection with work on the rapid transit subway, where the orig inal dispute arose, there is possibility of steps toward settlement, arrange. ments having been made for con. ference between the unions and Con- tractor Mcdonald. Thirteen organiza. tions of workmen will be represented. Counsel for the building trades alli- ance have announced their determina- ton to push the suit in which it is sought to have the employers associa. ton declared an legal combination.
