REFUSE MAcH1N1sTs' DEMAND.
Metal Trades Branch Says Business
Will Not Warrant Raise.

NEW YORK, August 24.-The officers Of
the New York locals OF the International
Association of Mach1nists and the Anal
gamated Society of Engineers were notified
yesterday afternoon at a conference with
the executive committee of the New York
and New Jersey Metal Trades Association
that the general demand made on behalf of
1900 machinists for an increase of %
cents day in wages had been refused. On
behalf of the employers the following state
ment was given out after the conference:
In view of the present depression In
business and indication Of the continuance
of such depression the members of the
branch came to the conclusion that they
could not consistently grant general in
crease in wages to machinists OF to any
other trade
the final action on the subject:
Whereas it is the sense of this meeting
of the New York and New Jersey branch
Of the National Metal Trades Association
that the present industrial conditions and
outlook for future business do not warrant
a general increase in wages, and
whereas the branch, notwithstanding
these conditions desires to be absolutely
fair to its employees; therefore. 1t Is
Resolved, That the branch hereby re-
quests each of its members to consider care
fully the wages Of the machinists in his
employ, and If a member determines that
a machinist is entitled to advance in
wages that he grant to such machiniSt such
an increase as he believes he Is entitled to
receive"
The executive committee of the machin-
lists will have a meeting on Wednesday to
determine the question Of ordering a gen.
eral strike.

ROOSEVELT AGAINST BRYAN.
Norman E. Mack Says That Will Be
Political Situation Next Year.

UTICA, August 24-State Committeeman
Norman E. Mack of Buffalo and his family
stopped in Utica yesterday afternoon on
their auto tour across the state. The COM
mitteeman managed to have himself inter-
viewed before he left to visit David b. Hill
at Albany. Mr.. Mack holds to the opinion
expressed several months ago, that the only
hope of democratic success next year lies
in the nomination of Bryan for President.
The mention of numerous men as candidates
for the republican nomination has not
changed his belief. formed some time ago,
that President Roosevelt will again be the
candidate of the republican party. Mr.
Mack said:
THE republicans. believe, will nominate
Roosevelt. His speech at Provncetown
Tuesday strengthens the impression that he
is to be nominated again. l believe that
sentiment in the republican party will force
the nomination of Roosevelt just as the
feeling in the democratic ranks will favor
the nomination of Bryan. The republicans
will have to nominate Roosevelt to stand
any chance of success and the democrats
will be forced to nominate Bryan for the
same reason
If President Roosevelt is not nominated.
Mr. Mack believes that Gov. Hughes will
be the most likely candidate for the repub-
lican nomination.
