BALANCE Fate of Engineers' Strife to Be Set tled at Today's Conference. SAN FRANCISCO, ' March 22. It In thought the conference between the Ma rine Engineers' Association and the spe cial committee of th steam schooner owners, of this port, tomorrow, will be the last to be held between the two or ganizations, and that either the matter will be settled or open warfare will be declared between the two bodies. At r conference held Wednesday morn ing all minor differences between the rules adopted by the engineers and those de manded by the shipowners were adjusted and the final test of strength will come on the propostion of manning the ships. The shipowners still insist upon their old ultimatum that two men shall be suf ficient in the engine-room of ships taking long voyages, and the engineers want three. Several propositions have been made to the engineers by the shipowners, but all have been refused because the engineers feel they cannot stand long trips with out three men in the engine-room. In the event of an agreement being reached, all the steam schooners in the lumber trade, which have been idle so long, will at once cut to sea. In the event that no agreement is reached, a lone and disastrous strike might result that would raise the price of lumber to a higher mark than it has been on this Coast for years.
