METAL TRADES HOPEFUL.
The Business still Dull, but the outlook
Is More Favorable.

The annual convention Of the National
Metal Trades Association, which began
on Wednesday at the HStel Aston. ended
yesterday. The following officers we're
elected for the coming year: President.
+. X. Copeland. Sullivan Machinery Com
pany, Chicago; first vice-president, Howard
p. Eells, the Bucyrus Company, Milwaukee;
second vice-president, j.. H. Schwacke.
William Sellers 4 Co., Philadelphia; treas
urer, WillGm Lodge, Lodge and Shipley
Machine Tool Company, Cincinnati. The
commissioner and secretary will be re-
appointed. The following statement was
made on behalf Of the association by Com
missioner Robert Wuest:
While there were no official reports az to
the condition Of trade throughout the United
States there were informal reports during
the convention from every part Of the country
Of an encouraging nature. There is an in
creased demand for men in the metal trades
generally for the first time since the fall Of
last year and we hope that the worst Of the
business depression Is over. The increase
in demand for men does not mean that trade
is brisk again, as It Ia still far below the normal,
but It is the first indication OF a change from
the stagnant conditions which have ruled for
six or eight months. There are no labor
troubles on hand at present and none in sight.
Practically all the strikes which took place
" ere between the LIST Of June and the list Of
November, 1907. before the effects Of the
business depression began TO be felt in the
shops. The association decided TO stand by
it, open shop policy, which has ruled among
It's members for the last year or two.
