Chicago, March 20. After tho con
ference between representatives of the
International Association of Machinists
and the. Administrative Council of tin
National Metal Trades Association,
ended at 10:30 this morning, President
James O'C'onnell, of the union, declared
that strikes would bo called immediate
ly iu all parts of tho United suites Hud
Canada. Such strikes will iuvolvo
100,000 men and cuuso to bo shutdown
for an indefinite period plants having
an aggregate capacity of millions oi
dollars. Chicago labor troubles aro ro
spausiblo for tho disagreement, which
is expected to precipato tho general
machinists' strike. Were it not for
tho fact that leaders of tho Machinists'
Union refused to call off strikes that
now oxist in Chicago, Columbus, O.,
and Paterson, N. J., tho manufacturers
and leaders, it is believed, would have j
como to an umicablo agreement and
arbitration would havo been perman
ently established between tho National
Metal Trades Association and the Inter- j
national Association of Machinists.
Tho members ol tho executivo board
of the Machinists' Union, however, re
fused to call off tho Chicago strike, aa
they declined that if they did, tho
Chicago local union would secede from
the International Association. When
the refusal of tho machinists to cud the ) ated
strike was presented to tho maufactur-
ers, they issued an ultimatum to tho
labor leaders, and on their refusal to
agreo to its provisions, nil negotiations
wero broken off. .
Bofaro leaving tho rooms in which
he joint conference was being hold,
'resident James O'Connell, of tho In
ernational Union, declared that tin
union would begin immediately to call
strikes in all rmrts of the country. The
first of these strikes will bo called in
Cleveland. After all tho largo cities j
shall have been tied up, strikes will bo ,
called in tho machino shops of all the
railroads in the country.
After meeting iu sepcruto confer
ences, all the afternoon, tho manufact
urers and the labor lenders began a.
joint meeting at 8 P. M., at which the
manufacturers submitted to the ma
chinists a proposal for arbitration.
They asked that all strikes and lock
outs bo called off pending tho arbitra
tion of the difficulties bv a committee
consisting of the presidents of the two
organizations and two members from
each association, whose decision shall
be accepted as final.
On the second proposition the two
associations were united. Tho labor
leaders refused 'to agree to tho first
proposition, and submitted a demand
for immediate and separate arbitration
of the Chicago difficulties. This the
manufacturers refused to ratify, and
the conference broke up, both sides
making what amounted to a formal
declaration of war. Tho declaration
of machinists took tho form of threats
of an international strike made by Pres
ident O'Connell and Organizer Reed.
The manufacturers then presented
their side of tho question in a set of
