ther intrusion. But during her absence a
year ago the body of Richard Hugh Vail
OF Islip. was buried i'm the cemetery be-
side the bodies of his parents. This caused

the non-union employees as they were leav-
ing work between 3 and o'clock by means
of placards which were pinned to the per-
sons of the pickets. back and front, with
small American flags.
The police did not interfere. as the pick
cts walked up and down in couples in
front OF the shop. but the detectives en-
poyed by the firm tried to prevent the EN-
ployes from seeing the placards by lining
up between them and the employees. The
pickets, who were strikers from other
shops, put on the placards at the head
quarters of the Women's Trade Union
League. No. 43 East 22d street, and We're

SHELDON NOT ALONE.
Other Insurance Officials I'm
der Investigation.

George T. Sheldon. the deposed president
of the Phenix Insurance Company. may not
be the only official of the company who
will be called upon 10 answer criminal
charges for participation in the looting Of
the colpsnys funds to an amount esti-
mated at at least S1.OooOo0
With the discovery OF the forged resolu-
tion in Mr.. Sheldons handwriting giving
him the power to dispose of the company s
securities as he saw fit. the District At
torney's Office is interested in discovering
how the resolution could have been entered
in the minute book of the board OF directors
and yet remain unknown TO the directors
without the cognizance OF others in au-
thOrity besides Mr.. Sheldon.
Though the resolution appears on sub
stituted page in the minute book of 1893,
the authorities have not yet been able 10
learn whether the insertion of the page
was made in that year or later. 1t ap-
pears certain. however. that the existence
OF the resolution was known 10 at least
one other official of the company, il not
more, and that Mr.. Sheldon could not have
made use of the PheniX for his own pur-
poses without somebody else In the COM
pany knowing about IL.
Acting upon this information. the Dis
trict Attorneys Office is nov making a
thorough investigation to discover whether
any improper use of the funds of the COM
pany was made as a result of cOllusion on
the part of the company's officials. AL
ready Charles r. Roster. who was secre-
tary of the company up to two days ago,
and the members Of the board of directors
have been examined by the District Attor-
ney. in the effort TO discover when the
forged resolution was entered I'm the minute
book of the company.

II is now TO be war 10 the end between
the striking waist makers and the Associ-
ated Waist and Dress Manufacturers, the
arbitration proceedings from which so
much was expected having fallen through
Morris Hillquit and John Mitchell the ar
bitratOrs chosen by the waist makers, had
a long conference with the representatives
OF the Associated Waist Manufa cturers yes
tcrdsy. but the employers would not agree
10 arbtrate the question of recognition Of
the union on the ground that it was not
question for arbitration. The representa-
tives OF the union held that this was prac-
tically the only thing to be arbitrated, and
nothing was done.
The executive committee OF the Asso-
ciated Waist and Dress Manufacturers.
therefore. met yesterday at the Hoffman
House and formally called all negotiations
off. Marcus NJ. Marks, president of the
National Association of Clothiers, who first
suggested arbitration. attended this meet

consideration of the decision of the manu-
facturers. In a statement, Issued after the
meeting. by I. r. Hyman, president of the
Associated Waist and Dress Manufact-
urers. il was declared that ''the represen-
tatives Of the waist manufacturers in the
conference stated that the manufacturers
would under no circumstances agree 10 en-
ploy only union help nor enter into union
agreements; that they were perfectly will
ing 10 have any complaint of employees or
grievances Investigated. considered and
settled by the arbitration committee. but
that the question OF closed shop was
not open for consideration
The employers have now made arrange
ments 10 increase their forces OF special
policemen 10 protect the strike breakers.
Anticipating = long struggle. the strike
leaders have decided TO issue appeals 10 the
other unions for financial assistance
A supplementary statement by a member
of the executive committee of the employ
ers says:
The demand for recognition or the union
cannot be divided or compromised. There
fore II was not arbitrable. We would not
care II all our employees we're IN the union.
but We would not let the union control our
shops by agreeing with the union to employ
