PLANS WERE Misunderstood.
Railway MagnRtes Expected an In
quisition-AII Are Coming.

New York, March 14-It developed to-
day that President Roosevelts acceptance
of Mr.. Morgans invitation to see and
talk over the railroad situation with four
railroad presidents had been misunder-
stood by the latter, who expected the
interview TO be something of an inquisi-
ton.
The four presidents, or some of them,
got ready for a sort of Interstate Com
merce hearing. President Roosevelt to be
the whole commission this time. II was
expected that the President would see
each of the four railroad heads sepa-
rately. and that each would undergo a
searching examination, consequently vo-
luminous preparations We're made.
A man connected with the New York
Central said to-day: president Roosevelt
has not invited the railroad presidents
to come; rather. 1 understand. he said
he would be glad to talk TO them if they
did come. II was not plain to them at
first whether they had been invited or
whether Mr. Morgan thought it would be
a good thing if they made the trip"
The uncertainty was Strengthened out
to-day as to just what the President S
attitude on the matter is, and as "a result
the railroad presidents will make the
trip-without the voluminous reports. The
matter will be settled definitely to-mor-
row.
President Hugitt, of the Northwestern.
left Chicago yesterday for New York TO
talk the matter over with President New
man, who as in conference with Presi-
dent Mellen to-day, as was President Nc
Crea, of the Pennsylvania
President Newman declined TO say any
thing to-day about the misunderstanding
which had existed or the plans that
would be depended upon.
The matter is now settled. and we
shall avail ourselves of the opportunity
to see the President" was all ne would
say It is considered more than probable
that the railroad presidents will not go
together. but that they viii see the Presi-
dent separately.

PLUMBERS STAND PAT
Journeymen See No Reason
for More Arbitration.
PARLEYs AT A STANDsTILL
Builders Are Awaiting Receipt of
Formal Request for n Conference.
Master Plumbers Want Clause Re
gerred Back for Interpretation.
tVOrkmen Hold II Unnecessary.

All OF the many organizations concerned
with the threatened strike Of the building
trades in this city are awaiting the next
move Members OF both the master build
ers' associations stated yesterday that
they had not as Yet received the request
from the Building Trades Unions Alliance
for a conference. Neither organization
has held a meeting. and there has not
been even a conference of members. The
Trades Alliance is awaiting "a reply TO the
conference invitation. and will DO nothing
until the meeting Saturday night of the
special committee appointed. consisting Of
seventeen members, one from each trade
represented. The journeymen plumbers
are also awaiting the result Of this pend
ing conference.
The Master Plumbers Association is
sued. through Robert B. Caverly. chair
man Of the press committee a statement
outlining the position Of the master plum
bers and vOicing the desire that the dis
puted clause In the arbitration award
over which all the trouble has arisen be
referred back 70 the arbitration board for
Interpretation. The journeymen are stand
ing pat and refuse to accede 10 this. say
ing that the Interpretation of the disputed
article is plain. even to the most ordinary
mind, and that the bosses -persistently
violate 81 in both letter and spirit
There is considerable difference Of opin-
ion among the master builders. One OF
them stated positively that in his opinion
the master plumbers were all wrong; that,
as the journeymen declared the interpre-
tati0n Of the disputed article is plain and
unmistakable. 1t provides explicitly that
the old contract between the two should
be re-enforced.

Provisions of Contract.

This contract provided that the master
plumber could employ either union or
nonuuion men. but that ne could not COM
pei the union men 20 work in q nOnunion
shop. and that the journeymen could
work for Whomsoever he chose. This con-
tract was temporarily suspended during
the arbi ration, he said. By mutual con-
sent. and the master plumbers were TO
employ mixed men il they so desired But
the article disputed provides a resumption
of the old contract, thus doing away with
the mixed shop.
The man in question, one OF the biggest
builders IN the city, shows all the papers
iu the case from the time Of the lockout
last March % make his argument clear
When asked what view the master build
err would take. be replied that they
woUid undoubtedly 90 as they did after
the lockout. wnen they compelled the
master plumbers 10 arbitrate. This
could easily be done, he explained, by
Withholding contracts and work from
those shops violating the arbitration
agreement He admitted freely that ne
could not go on without union men, but
he anticipated no trouble, for the reason
that the parties concerned would be
forced 60 live up 10 their agreement.
The Washington herald., 1907-03-15
Defend the sInste-z.

On the other hand. another man prom
inent in the Master Builders Association
asserted that the master builders were
carrying out the disputed article 70 the
letter. and that if the j0urneymen did
not live Up to it they could not expect
the support OF the master builders. and
the association would strongly resist any
unjust strike. He said that all the mas
ter builders had strike clauses in their
contracts. and could afford to shut down
indefinitely. and iatimated that they
would take such a step ana see VINO cOul1
hold out the longer.
