They state that the employes will have to do one of three things thai Is, sign an agreement with the associa tion, declare a strike on lluy 1, or be obliged to work with non-union men. The association meeis tonight, and Its members talk very freely of what Is going to transpire. They say that If the union Is laboring under the Impres sion, that everything Is going tu tt smooth sailing for It after Friday. May 1, that It Is badly mistaken. Represen tatives of the organization, they aver, are expecting to continue at work In the same old manner as they have dur ing the past year. "What changes are likely to occur?" Inquired the reporter. "Well, for one thing, they will have to sign an agreement with us to the effect that they will not pull off our men Just because a non-union painter or carpenter, for Instance. Is working on the same building with them. This Is an unjust and an expensive treatment to us, and we do not Intend to tolerate such action any longer. There will have to be a stop to It." Expect Trouble. "Do you believe the union will agree to that?" "There Is the trouble; It has failed to agree to anything. t'nlon men want us to agree to certain conditions with them, but persistently refuaa to enter Into an agreement with us." "Did you ask them to work for no one but members of the association V "Some time ago we did. but have now abandoned that Idea. They can work for -whoever they please, but that Is not now the point at issue. There are other things more importunt than that. We cannot afford to have our business tied up Just because a non-union man, who is In the employ of some one else, Is at work on the same building. meeting tonight we Intend to draw up an agreement, and If U Is not satisfac tory to our employes they can make the most of it. Further than that, on the first of the month we Intend to put non union electricians at work; and If the union men do not like tt, they will have to quit. We intend to make them show their hand." Union's side. If. G.

At our At the meeting of the organisation last nignt inree men were appointed to rep resent the union side on a board of arbi tration. . Muyor Williams will be re quested to prevail upon the master as sociations to take similar' action. It the latter comply the strike will be at an end and the men will return to work pending a settlement It Is said that If this Is effected there will be no further tie-ups in the building line for a year at least, regardless of what the findings . or decision of the commission may be. The moment it goes in session the strike will be declared off. It Is yet to be seen whether or not the , master associations are willing to accept' this plan of arbitration. At the time it was nrst proposed various members bers of the organization want us to as sist them In their designs, he states, stated that they would have nothing to do uy uruniimiiK noi 10 worn lor any one wltn lt and they submitted a counter but them. "This is contrary to all rules of union Ism," he continued, "and we will not be a party to such a transaction. Any firm that is willing to pay the scale of wages and conforms tu other union regulations we will work for, and make no distinc tion between such an one and the asso- proposition In which they reserved the right of naming the entire board. ' ' The following self-explanatory state ment was drawn up at the council last night: "Believing that the sense which so unanimously prevailed at the mass meet ing held In the A. O. V. W. Hall to be elation members. There Is no othe the earnest jleslre of the fair-minded cttl course that we could pursue. If wo Mns and business people of this city.' would refuse to work for certain firms it would not be long until the association had everything its own way; and "could raise prices at its own will." A Precedent. The same difficulty waa experienced last summer with the Plumbers' Union and the Master Plumbers' Association. Finally the employes stgned an agree ment with the association not to work for any one but members of that or ganization. A few days later the Plum bers' Union was requested by organised labor to withdraw from the Building Trades Council. It did so, and has not since been affiliated with It. The elec trical workers say that they will not commit the same offense. Armstrong's ribs were crushed and' where neither the President nor any of protruded from one side, his collarbone was broken and there was a deep cut under one ear. With assistance he man aged to walk to the house, but died two hours later. BRIIT IS THE FAVORITE (Journal Special Service.) SAN FRANCISCO. April 28.
