Bryan says that Speaker Clark's declara-
ton in favor of annexation was a very
indiscreet utterance for one occupying q
position Of authority and points out that
il had much to do with the result because
of the use made of il Mr.. Bryan is of
the opinion that it was unfortunate any
way that reciprocity was brought forward
First, because it gave the projections
lists Of Canada chance to appeal to anti
American prejudice.
Second. because II turned attention
away from the real reason for tariff re-
duction and laid emphasis upon the idea
that a tariH tax hurts the foreigner in
stead OF the consumer at home
He adds: "'The Dennocrats favored
the Taft I.aurier agreement because it
made beginning at tariff reduction.
Now that IL has been rejected il is the
part OF wisdom to proceed with tariff
reduction for the benefit Of our own
people without waiting for the aid or
consent OF any other nation.
Protectionists in this country will
use canada s action as an excuse for
opposing reductions. but Democrats will
not out OF spite permit continued extor-
ton by the tariff barons Of this country
merely because the tariff barons Of Canada
are To be permitted To continue their
lmpositions on our northern nei ghbors"

IF SIXTEEN BUILDING TRADES
UNIONS no NOT GIVE IN.
Mechanics VINO struck In sympathy with
Marble workers Have Only a nay or
Two to surrender at the Demand
Of the Big EMPLOYERS Association.

= The board OF governors Of the Build
ing Trades Employers Association was
empowered yesterday at the largest
meeting the association has held to de-
clare lockout Of the 10000 members
OF sixteen unions which are on strike on
sixty buildings in support Of the strike
OF the marble workers. IL was said that
the lockout would be continued until
the sympathetic strike was declared of.
The vote was unanimous.
The meeting was held az the Builders
Exchange. 30 West Thirty-third street.
to act on the sympathetic strike of the
sixteen unions at the new Vanderbilt
Hotel. There are about 1000 members
in the Building Trades Employers As
sociation. representing thirty-two trade
associations. and 700 members attended
the meeting.
The board of governors proposes to
meet this afternoon and give the sixteen
unions very brief time to call the strike
Oh. with the alternative of n lockout.
The unions OF marble workers involved
are practically locked out already. az
when the employers began to fill the places
of the strikers they decided never to
recognize these unions again.
President Benjamin d. Traitel OF the
Building Trades Employers Association.
who is also on the board of governors,
said after the meeting:
The board Of governors under the rules
of our association would have had the
power 10 declare the lockout in any case.
but we wanted 10 ascertain the sentiment
of the membership Of the association
before we acted in such a serious matter.
The unions will get a very short warning
from the board only day or two. and the
lockout will go into effect at once II the
warning is not needed.
The lockout will not affect the brick
layers and men in one or two other crafts
that remained az work. but II the unions
remain obdurate the shutdown will throw
them idle eventually. The employers
have stood by the unions this season and
last season, when building operations
were less than normal. with many thou
sands idle and unusual competition for
work, and have paid the highest union
wages all the time We have lived up to
our agreements with the unions. but the
unions have not lived up TO their agree
ing this action when it was useless 70 de-
lay any longer"
The marble workers went on strike
about eight weeks ago in all the shops of
the Marble Industry Employers Associa-
ton and on all the buildings whore they
had the contracts for marble work 10
enforce demand for an increase in wages.
The sympathetic strike az the Vanderbilt
Hotel WAS declared by the board Of busi
pess agents Of the unions in the building
trades last Friday when the employers
began to put men 10 work in place OF the
striking marble workers
The new municipal building and several
other large st structures have not yet reached
the stage where the installation of marble
work begins and are not affected by IN"
strike The marble work or most of il, !
If started after the iron workers and
mechanics in several other trades are |
