~TRONWORKERS. OPPOSE TRIKE IN NEW YORK. Many of the Leaders in Their Union Talk of Secession from the National Organization if Radical Measures Are Adopted. While officers of the New York Civic Federation are busy to-day try- ing to get officials of the American Bridge Company and of the Interne- tional Association of Structural Iron and Steel Workers to meet, with a view to settling their differences, there is a strong sentiment, growing stronger all the time, in the local branch of the International Association to out loose from the main body and keep out of trouble. The principal reason for this is the dislike among the local men for the radical methods of President Frank Buchanan, of the International Association. Buchanan has a strong ally in Frank Neidig, President of the local union, which is known as the Housesmiths and Bridgemen's Union. He believes that Buchanan should be backed to the limit in his demands. The head of the opposition ta this course is said to be Vice-President Samuel Parks, of the local union, who is now in Florida for his health, He is expected back in a few days, and it ds then the break will come, if at all. The Civic Federation has two points in view in its work. It desires first of all to persuade the officials of the American Bridge Company to meet Buchanan unofficially and have a talk. They think that (f this meet- ing can be arranged the Bridge Company officials can get Buchanan to forego his demand that the negotiations be conducted through the national officers rather than with the local officers. Tf, in the face of tlee feeling tending toward secession among the local men, he should insist that he handle the question, the Federation then ‘hopes ’ for the sake of the city and the effect such a move would have on public opinion to get Buchanan to permit the subway strikers to go back to work and make their fight altogether on such contracts as the Bridge Company may have with private concerns; in other words, he wants the subway eliminated as a factor in the struggle. With these ends in view, Samuel Donnelly, Secretary of the New York Federation, called at the Ashland House to-day, where President Buchanan is stopping, and took him and President Neidig to the Federation rooms, where they had a long conference. All Donnelly would say after the con- ference was that the Federation was trying to get the contending parties together. Buchanan would not talk, but Neidig said: “The President of the American Bridge Company met the national offi- cers a year ago‘and a contract was signed. It did not prove satisfactory to the local unions and was turned down by them, I mention this to show that he would be establishing no precedent by meeting the national officers at this time,” i Buchanan's threat to cause a general strike if his demands are not com- plied with has met with marked disapproval from the United Board of Building Trades, of this city. The general feeling among the local labor leaders is that President Buchanan should take up the offer of the American Bridge Company to arbi- trate its differences with its employees through local committees. They say there is nothing irregular in this, as whatever action the local com- mittees would take would have to be ratified by the national officers, An opening for a settlement along this line hag been made through a "reply sent President Buchanan to his letter addressed to the newly organ- ized Association of Iron Erecters. The reply comes from the firm of J. B, & J. M. Cornell, and is as follows: Replying to your favor of the 25th Inst., addressed to the George A. Fuller Company, American Bridge Company, and J, B. & J. M. Comell Company, in which you ask for a mecting with a committee from your national organization, I am requested to state to you that three representatives of the companies ad- * Gressed compose the New York Local Committee of the National Association of Manufacturers and Erecters of Structural Steel and Iron Work. This com- mittee is ready at any time to meet a local committee representing men employed in this city on the erection of structural steel and fron work. As the power of this committee ts limited to New York and vicinity, {t of course would be useless for vs to meet any natlonal c-mmittee from your organization. __ REST, BUT SET |OVER-OCEAN MAILS HARLEM WHOOPING'SLOW, LONDON SAYS): Milk Spilled, Police Sergeant|Postmaster Van Cott Declines Drenched and Neighbors Had} to Shoulder Blame and Re- |< THE WORLD: TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 33, i REPRESENTATIVES OF THE WAGE EARNERS WHO WILL TAKE PART IN CIVIC FEDERATION, FIRST ROUND FOR HIGHER LICENSE Assembly Takes Up New Excise Law and Those Favoring the Bill Show Winning Strength on Side Vote.

At this conference there were indica- tlons that the Excise bill would have a close call, but after a count of noses the Republican managers decided that they were in control and orders to take up the bill were given. George M. Palmer, the Democratic leader, was early In his seat, determined to fight the bill at every stage.
