UNIONS WANT ARBITRATION
Request Building Trades Employers to
Consider Plan for Joint Board.

A meeting Of the board OF governors ot
the Building Trades Employers Association
will be held to-day at which the requests of
unions In the building trades for joint
convention Of contractors and representa-
tyes OF the unions will be considered The
purpose OF the proposed convention is TO
adopt a joint arbitration plan similar to
the one that was abandoned after prevent
ing many strikes for about seven years.
About hundred thousand building me-
chanics in more than thirty unions were az
fected by the old plan OF arbitration. a
general board had been formed. composed
OF an equal number OF employers and
members OF a union in each trade. This
board settled disputes by arbitration which
otherwise were liable TO end In strikes.
The abandonment OF the arbitration plan
came after q strike of one OF the trades
when a court decision was rendered againsr
the carrying out OF the disciplinary rules
formulated by the arbitration board.
Some of the unions which want an arDl-
tration plan now were ranged against the
old board, and IL is thought a change OF
sentiment has taken place.

PRESIDENT TAFT EXPLAINS
Only Reciprocity with Canada
Now Under Consideration. 80.

Washington. Feb 1i--President Taft COM
mented to-day on the declaration he made
yesterday IN his address at the Psn-Amen-
can Commercial Conference 10 the effect
that he was In favor Of reciprocity with
the whole world. He explained that his
statement had been in the abstract and
that he had not said he was in favor at
this time of securing reciprocity agreements
with any country other than Canada. He
made il plain. however. that he would at
any time approve such u pact with any
other country where the conditions were
favorable and where the United States
would be the gamer and not loser.
No such agreements, so far as could be
learned, are contemplated at the present
time, and as TO the report that the United
States and Mexico were about 10 open
negotiations nothing could bc lesrned at
the White House. Sehor Casasus. special
ambassador OF Mexico. who is now IN this
country, is said to have made such a sug-
gestion.

member from Pennsylvania and his as
sociates had brought In rule after RUE
and had rushed legislation through with
cut giving an opportunity for amend
ment.
Under the closure rule which was
adopted by an Overwhelming vote the
only loophole left to the opponents OF
the measure was motion to recommit
the bill to the committee OF the whole
with instructions TO report certain
amendments. When the time came TO
do this. half dozen members were
ciamoring for recognition. MIR. Dalzell
was recognized by Speaker Cannon. He
urged that meat and meat products,
-four, prepared cereals, lumber and sew
eral other articles be put on the free
list. The Democrats were not shaken
by this and the motion was lost, ia to
191
The closure rule had been agreed TO
previously by a vote OF 1913 to 107. II
had been apparent for several days that
the reciprocity measure would have an
overwhelming majority in the House.
This seemed to make Its opponents all
the more bitter. The feeling displayed
was so intense at times that IL sur
prised members or both sides Of the
House.
Some of the "old guard" Republican
leaders like Dalzell, Of Pennsylvania,
and Fordney, Of Michigan. veiled but
thinly their predictions that the Repub-
lican party would be defeated by reason
OF what they characterized a departure
from the principle of protection and the
espousal of free trade
Mr.. Dalzell said he proposed to stand
where he had stood for forty years, and
to 'go down" with his party. Mr.. Ford
ney said he feared that Democratic
times were coming, and II made him
sweat blood" TO contemplate the melan-
choly tact. The other speeches from the
Republican opposition were in much the
same vein.
Speaker Cannon took no part in the
debate Yesterday or to-day. He was in
followed the arguments on both sides
with keen interest. There were loud ap-
plause and cheering tonight when on
the first record vote the Speaker called
Representative Ollie James, of Ken
lucky, one Of the leaders of the Demo-
cratic side. TO the chair. Mr.. James sat
there through the rollcall and when he
announced the vote the cheering was re-
Moved. This is said TO be the only time
q Democrat has been called to preside
over the House since the Republicans
gained control.
President Taft tonight gave a dinner
TO Speaker Cannon. The meal was de-
layed an hour while the House was vot-
ing on reciprocity. 1t is said the Presi-
dent sent word that he would change
the dinner into a breakfast if It was
necessary in order to pass the bill.

The final vote by which the bill was
passed was as follows:
