CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 7.-Estab-
lishment of local wage conference or
adjustment boards throughout the
country to prevent unnecessary strikes
and lockouts in the building indus
try was urged here today by the ex-
ecutive council Of the building trades
department Of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor in session here. Under
the proposed plan announced by John
Donlin. president of the building
trades department arbitration OF
wage disputes is provided. and SYM
pathetic strikes in behalf Of unions
making "unjustified demands are pre-
fully tried out in several cities, in
cluding Cincinnati. he said.
"The new movement" he added,

and inspire confidence in the building
and investment public.

posed Of representatives of the build
ing contractors and the various
unions. Wage scales for the various
crafts will be established on an equi-
the trade. There will be no uniform
scale The board shall consider the
question Of advances or decreases in
wages as general living conditions
will permit.
plan" said Mr.. Donlin, "is that no
sympathetic strike can be called to
uphold the unreasonable or untustified
demands OF some particular union.
That is one Of our troubles today and
. situation that must be rectifled."
Conditions care Bad"
Reports received by the council.
President Donlin said. showed that
building conditions throughout the
country are very bad" but there is
some slight improvement. The high
cost Of building materials is also re-
sponsible for the slump in building,
the labor leader said. adding that
these costs had advanced 40 per cent
during the last few years. but had
only declined about 40 per cent up to
the present time.
The councils reports show that
the building trades unions are willing
to cooperate in reducing building
ing equitable wage reductions in line
with the falling cost Of living.
The executive council Of the Amer
lean Federation held a brief session

STRIKING GF|REMEN
Proposals to U. S. in Martha
Washington Case Embody
Demands of Men.
By the Associa ted Press


BUENOS AIRES, May e.-The pro-
posals of the Argentine government
for a settlement Of the Martha Wash
ington case now reported to be under
consideration by the State Depart
ment and the United States Shipping
Board. in Washington, are understood
to be to the effect that the Argentine
government will procure the unload
ing OF the steamer. provided the
United States government consents
to authorize that certain concessions
be made to the complaining firemen
Of the Martha Washington.
The concessions are said to COM
prise the conditions under which the
Dock Workers Union. boycotting the
steamer, informed Foreign Minister
Pueyrredon they would be willing to
unload the vessel. The conditions are
believed to be, in principle, the same
as those originally presented to the
Munson Line. the operators of the
Martha Washington. when the boycott
was declared. with some notifications.
The Original Demands.
The original demands precipitated
by the shooting Of a coal trimmer
aboard the Martha Washington, were:
81. That members of the crew who
SO wish may leave the vessel and OBJ
tain payment Of the wages due them
to date. The company is also to be
obliged to pay the mems expenses
while ashore and up to the time they
are repatriated, the cost Of repatria-
ton also being for the account of
the company. Wages will be paid up
to the time of embarkation for New
York.
''2. All expenses suffered by the
trimmer, Antonio Zalbidea, win be
for the account Of the company. In
the event of his death the COMPANY
must pay the funeral expenses.
"3. The imposition of article 1 was
due to the i'll treatment which the
members Of the crew complain was
on board ship: They can furnish
proof Of this i'll treatment. If such is
desired.
-. Until these conditions are ac-
cepted discharge of the steamer and,
in fact, all operations aboard the yes-
sci will remain at a standstill."
1t is known that during the course
Of the negotiations leading up to the
proposals now before the authorities
mands have from time to time been
altered, due, in part, to the fact that
the f1remen have since been declared
deserters by the United States consul
late here and the alleged illness Of
some Of them.
