That's What Employers and Work.
men Are E1pecting.

After a year cf extraordinary depression In the
shop trades, especially the metal business employ
II these trades and representatives of local and
national unions who were seen yesterday predict a
boom for the year 1906. Among the contributing
causes is the fact that there is TO be no change
in the national administration. In the last year
business at a low ebb in the various shops
and foundres and from the time the Democratic
and Republican conventions were talked of up 10
the election men were continually laid off.
A representative of the Townsend-Downey Ship
building Company said yesterday that last year
had been one of unprecedented dulness in the
trade. but there was reason why the coming
year should not be a good year. He went

long time, and it viii be- their fault If 1895 Is not
much better than 1914
Another employer said that the revival in the
iron trade in the fall would have good deal to
do in stimulating enterprise in the shop trades
William McInerney. secretary-treasurer of the
Pattern Makers League of North America said
that the fact that there would be change of ad-
ministration had already shown itself The situ-
alton has already begun to improve. he declared
and continued:
We have received word from locals throughout

have done so already, We have no trouble with
the employers and no strikes are Anticipated
There may be minor troubles with individual EN-
ployeTs which cannot be avoided in a large or
ganization. but they are Insignificant.
Bernard Lavey, delegate of the Iron Mouders'
Conference Board Of New-York. and fits vicinity
which takes in twelve unions said that since the
election foundrymen were beginning to take on
