ing under the arbitration agreement OF
the Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton. The strike was not only agairst
the Employers Association Of Roofers
and Sheet Netal Workers Of Greater New
York and adjacent cities. but also against
the independent employers. The demands
are an increase Of wages from n to $3.50

in the number Of helpers and apprentices.
Before the strike was ordered the en-
ployers offered to pay the sheet metal
workers A.25 q day up to the end OF the
year and $3.50 on and after Jan. 1, but this
offer was rejected
Among tho buildings affected by the
strike are the New York Central station.

the Hall OF Records. the Kniokerbocker
Hotel, Forty second street and Broadway:
Columbia University and about 100 smaller
buildings. The strikers made their head
quarters at the Manhattan Lyceum, 90

had struck In forty-seven shops. Forty
independent employers, however. had
granted the demands, and their employees.
100 in number, had gone back to work
All the buildings on which there were strikes

Of the general arbitration board Of the

The executive committee decided that the
strike was in direct violation Of the arbitra-

strikers to return to work pending arbitra-
ton. Failing to do this within reasonable
time the union will be declared out Of the
arbitration agreement. The employers
emphatically denied a statement By the
strikers that they had promised to raise

Miss wallayy Lands on Deputy shorin's
Nose for BeIittling the President.
Miss Lillian Wallavy Of s02 West 16oth
street said In the Yorkville police court
yesterday that the reason why she struck
Ralph Davis. a deputy sheriff employed
by the Pennsylvania Railroad was that
she 1would not stand for the deputy sheriff
running down Teddy
The deputy sheriff asserted that the
young woman knocked him down. but the
with this assertion. The trouble occurred
Thursday night when most Of the inmates
Of the nenagerie were asleep.
The deputy sheriff had made an appoint
ment to meet William Lewis OF Bank
street in the park and Lewis was to bring
along some nice girls. Miss Wallavy was
one Of the girls that kept the tryst. Police
man Faherty was busy brushing away
mosquitoes as he patrolled outside the Ar
senal and kept an eye on tho hippopotamus
tank to see that no one carried Of the city's
live stock.
The sounds Of commotion and the cry,
Don't shooti Don't shoot!" brought him
to the eagle cage on the run. He saw
what appeared to be fight with small
sized crowd surrounding it. Tho deputy
sheriff was lying on the. Asphalt walk and
lewis was holding down his arms, while
Miss Wallavy was kicking him. .
"Yes, I kicked him. but not hard.
knew he had o gun and was just kicking
him to find out which pocket the pistol
was In" she said to Magistrate Cornell In
court.
She found the deputy sherih's pistol
pocket and extracted the weapon and
turned IL over to the policeman. It was
big revolver, but an examination in court
showed that 1t was unloaded and 80 rusty
that 1t couldn't 60 of anyway.
The young woman declared that the
deputy sheriff struck her in the face and
no was in court on a charge of assault
Lewis backed up the young woman In her
complaint, but there were several witnesses
who asserted that the young woman struck
Davis first. One OF these was Annie Mason.
tho matron Of park cottage, near which
the row took place.
From the testimony Of the various wit
neeses 1t seems that the conversation at
first was more or less pcetical and then
drifted to the peace treaty between Russia
and Japan. Miss Wallavy thought the
deputy sheriff was trying to belittle the
President and she landed on his nose In
remembrance.
Magistrate Cornell was convinced that
Davis wasn't looking for fight and dis
charged him.
