CHICAGO, May 1S.-A conference which Is regarded as the first practical step towards settlement of the labor war was held last evening between the attorneys for the Building Contractors Council and representatives of the un tons involved In the tie up in the build Industry. Though the meeting was In formal and preliminary it was without results. Men participating in It ex pressed the opinion that it had smooth ed the way for negotiations that would effect a hasty termination of the strife The meeting was held behind closed doors. The union men present were F. A. Davis, for the hoisting engineers; George V. Geary, for the bridge and structural iron workers; William Mar tin, for the stationary engineers; Luke Grant, for the carpenters; Gus Hoyt, for the plasterers, and Thomas Lynch, for the architectural iron workers. Attorney Knight, representing the building contractors' council, informed ths labor men that the contractors were willing to confer W'lth the representa tives of the individual unions, an ar range for a settlement of the trouble, regardless of the building trades coun cil, the final terms of the settlement with the building trades council to be determined afterward. The only stipu lation was that the parties to the con ference should not be present as rep resentatives of the central labor organ ization. More conferences are to be held soon. If the sentiment for mutual concilia tion continues, it may be expected that as a result of the peace negotiations Joint arbitration committees of the bosses and their locked out workmen will be called together and will effect an nndestanding which will make the la bor war a thing of history. Meanwhile Mayor Harrison Is bent on making another effort toward bringing the labor war to a close. His new plan to bring the contesting sides together contemplates the ignoring of the build ing trades council and the building con tractors' council for a time. ANOTHER BIG CORPORATION. New Consolidation of Copper Proper ties Soon to Be Perfected. NEW YORK. May 12. It has just been learned, according to the Times, that a new consolidation of copper properties is soon to come into the field. It will take over a number of Mexican and United States copper mines, and be known probably as the Pan-American Copper Syndicate Com pany. One of men interested in the project said that it was' now sure of success and that the company will be incorporated with a nominal capital ization in New Jersey, probably within the next ten days. "It will b put on a conservative ba sis," said he. "The aggregate capital ization of the companies to be merged is over $70,000,000. and the new corpo ration which takes them all in will I be capitalized only at $11,000,000 to 19, 000,000.
