TROUBLE IN BUILDING
TRADES is GROWING.
Local Situation Remains Unchanged
After the Meetings Last Night
Strike in Hudson County |nevit-
abIe--Are Out in Manhattan.

gracefully surrender, or. if it elected
to resist, be beaten into submission.
Both the employers association and
the building trades council held spe-
cial meetings last night, and each
was evidently determined to annul
the agreement and begin hostilities.
The battle will involve all the men
engaged in the building trades in the
county.
The employees of the Master Car
penters' Association of Manhattan,
who went on strike on May l and
returned to work last week after JUS
tice Gaynor had rendered a decision
against them, went on strike again
yesterday morning. The employers
reported this new violation of the ar
bitration agreement to the Master
Carpenters Association at the Build
ing Trades Club yesterday. A meet
ing of the general arbitration board
will be held next week at which the
case of the carpenters will be finally
disposed of.
The carpenters returned to work
by order of the Greater New York
district council of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters, their demands, under the
decision of Justice Gaynor, to be act
ed ON on July /. Their action in go
ing on strike yesterday is not only a
second defiance of the arbitration
agreement but also is in defiance of
the ruling of the officers of their own
organization. The belief yesterday
was that some of the old business
agents have been trying to restore the
old state of affairs when the arbitra-
tion agreement was not in operation.
under the arbitration agreement the
walking delegates have not the power
they had once.
President Lewis Harding of the
Master Carpenters Association of
Manhattan said last evening that he
could not tell what action would be
taken by the employers.

Many organizations of this city,

At the meeting of the Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners of Ameri-
ca, Local Union No. 65, in the union
rooms, last night, it was expected
that the trouble between the bosses
and the journeymen carpenters would
come to an end, but no agreement
was reached.
At union headquarters this morn
ing things were about the same The
men were determined to hold out un-
til the bosses gave them what they
asked for in the first place. All of
the men are working and have
enough jobs ahead to keep them
busy for months, they say.
The bosses are not saying much
about the trouble at the present
time. Everything in the building line,
as far as the bosses are concerned, is
tied up, for masons and bricklayers
cannot go ahead without the carpen-
ter work being done The bosses
may decide to give number of young
men a chance to learn the trade.
The strike of all the building
trades labor unions in Hudson coun-
ty is inevitable and will probably be
formally declared today. 1t is like
ly that the employers association
will fight the strikers through the
courts. The plan went into effect
yesterday, when Booth Brothers, mill
owners, of Bayonne, had several car
penters before Vice Chancellor Stew
nson, at Jersey City, on injunction
proceedings to prohibit them from
interfering with the workmen en-
ployed by the complainants, who
have decided to have an open mill,
as they cannot otherwise compete in
the market with the western mills.
The case was adjourned until Thurs
day, of this week, when the argu-
ments will be made.
The general strike grows out of
the strike of the millworkers who are
members of the carpenters union.
The employers association and the
building trades council are at vari-
ance over the construction of a clause
in the agreement entered into two
years ago. The Building Trades
Council insists that the clause debars
the employers association from us
ing any building trim that does not
come from union mills The employ
ers contend that the clause was draft
ed especially to protect them.
Neither side will yield one iota in
its contention, and the employers are
disposed to follow the lead of the
Essex county employers and declare
for open shops after declaring the
agreement no longer in effect. The
building trades council has shown a
disposition to dictate to the employ
ers' association and maintained its
right to order sympathetic strikes. 1t
has gone so far, while the efforts at
arbitration were pending, as to per-
nit the business agents to call out
carpenters who were working on
buildings where the so-called unfair
trim was being used, the protests of
the employers being disregarded.
The unions were bent on forcing
the mill owners to capitaulate
through their aggressive attitude to-
ward the employers association,
which 1t was supposed would either

WINNERS OF
THE PRIZES.
C. M. Macmillan, James Girls
WOId and julius Guttman Win
in Debating Contest.
SENATORIAL ELECTION.

The debate of the Young Mems
Literary Society in the Presbyterian
chapel last night proved beyond any
doubt the beneficial results to be OBJ
tanned from membership in such a So
ciety and participation in its meet
ings. Every one of the six speakers
acquitted himself creditably, and the
arguments were concise and compre-
hensive, and were delivered in excel
lent fashion.
The prizes were awarded by the
judges as follows, taking into con-
sideration, equally, augmentation,
rebuttal and delivery:
First, Charles NJ. MacWilliam.
Second, James Griswold
Third, Julius Guttman.
The prizes, which were the gifts
of the pastor of the church, Rev. ].
H. Northrup, We're presented by May
or Pfeiffer, moderator of the debate,
and were as follows: First prize, a
thirteen-volume set of Shakespeare's
works; second, a twelve-volume set
of Poe's works; third, Whittier's po-
ems. The first also received a prize
offered by the society, George Ba-
ker Pierce's principles of Argumen-
tation."
No decision between the two sides
in the debate was rendered by the
judges, who were asked to simply
name the best individual debaters.
The judges were Joseph e. Stricken,
j. Logan Clevenger and John A. Hit
zelberg, professor in the high
school.
Judge Adrian Lyon spoke on the
same question argued by the debat-
ers, following the debate.
The subject of the debate was:
Resolved, that the constitution
should be changed so that United
States senators would be elected by
popular vote.
Briefs on the question were sub
mitted to three prominent local men
bers whose briefs at that time were
in defense of the affirmative side. in
the public debate upheld the mega
tive, and vice versa. The Affirmative
speakers we're James Griswold, Rob
ert Comings and julius Guttman,
and their opponents were Charles
M. MacWilliam, Edgar Mullen and
John Peterson. Each debater spoke
in rebuttal also.
Mayor Pfeiffer presided as mod
orator. While the judges were out,
Judge Lyon spoke. He did not give
on the question argued in the debate
in a general way, bringing out some
points which had not been touched
upon by the debaters. Mr.. Northrup
gave a general talk on the work and
benefits of the society The audience
voted on the question, regardless of
the merits of the debate. Only about
half of those present voted, the ma
jority being in favor of such a change
in the constitution. The attendance
was small owing to the weather, but
a number of women braved the
profitable season, much of the credit
for which was due to the zeal and in
terest of the president, c. M. Mac
William.
The society will close the season
with a banquet in the chapel Thurs
day night. The members have invit-
ed all the local citizens who have
spoken before the society during the
as well as last nights judges
and speakers.
