S"ch-S: t MASS MEETING OF STRIKERS AFFILIATED EMPLOYES MET IN MUSIC HALL YESTERDAY. At on Open Meeting of the Strikers of the Various Local Manufactur ing Establishments, Chairman Campbell Asked the Lodges to Meet nnd Delegato All Executive Power to Their Representatives in the Council Foundry Men Quit Work at Penn Avenue Shops, With tho exception of a big mass meeting of the striking machinists, ear builders, boilormakcrs, etc., of this city yesterday afternoon, there wero few new developments In the strike situa tion. About (inn hundred and fifty men employed in the foundry of tho Allls-Uhatmcrs company on Penn ave nue, have now, however, quit work, as a result of tho refusal of the tar makers to work with non-union help ers. Yesterday afternoon's mass meeting was held In Music Hall and was well attended. Chairman Ituiiiplircy H. Campbell opened It by explaining tbe purpose of the gathering. Ho declared that It was called lo bring together the members of the different lodges adulated with the council, and have them arrange meetings to be held al most Immediately, at which they would pnss the recommendations of the council that the delegates bo given executive power, In the conducting of tho strike. Such powers would Include the levying of assessments, giving of benefits, nnd the appointing of various committees tn assume charge of de tails oC the campaign which will bo mapped out. Tin lodges wero also asked to place their entire member ship at the disposal of tbe council delegate:--, to furnish them all neces sary assistance. PLANS TO P.AISIO FI'XDS. Certain plans alrsady conceived fur the raising of funds will bo put Into execution within a feu days by the council. Chairman Campbell then em phasiced tho fact that all lodge mem bers ni-o requested to keep away from the Delaware, Lackawanna Ss West ern railway station anil studiously avoid any acts of violence. A special committee will bo appointed whose members will take care of the matter of dealing with Imported men.

SUGGESTIONS MADE. l.emarks from those present were then asked for, and a number of the strikersvolunteered suggestions, princi pally dealing with tho course to bo pur sued In deallngwlth the Imported hands. One and nil spoke strongly against scenes of riot, such ns occurred Mon day afternoon at the Lackawanna sta tion. Meetings' of the pattern workers and blacksmiths will be hold today to act on the recommendation of tho council. The former will meet this morning at -121 Lackawanna avenue, and the latter at :i o'clock this after noon in German Odd Fellows' hall. Tho machinists have already voted upon it, and meetings of the bollermakers and Federal Labor union wero held yester day afternoon and night, at which it was adopted. A letter was received yesterday by Chairman Campbell from Hns'luess Agent John IL Brown, of tho Klmlrii machinists, evidently written before Monday morning, in which the asser tion was made that all the machinists, blacksmiths ui'd bollermakers weio sure to strike at the appointed hour. Communications from Wilkes-Harro In formed Chairman Campbell that the Vulcan Iron works have granted tho men's demands. The employes will work ten hours with eleven nnd a quarter hours' pay until September, and will then begin work on a nine hour scale. foundry; closf.d down. Tho closing down of tho Allls-chal-mers company's foundry was caused by the coro workers refusing to work with non-union helpers. Their with drawal from the foundry rendered tho iiiiiiiuiers uetpiess unit tiip company then decided to close tho works. None of the foundry men ask the nine-hour day, but It was merely their scruples against iiim-unlou men which occa sioned the strike. There were no new men brought Into tho city yesterday by the Lackawanna, according to the strikers, and tho day passed off quietly and without any thing to mar the general harmony. Today tho convention of car builders will be opened at Hulfalo. Tho as sembly has been called for tho purpose of effecting a national organization, as at present the only national osso. clatlun with which the unions aro af lllluted Is the American Federation of Labor, Thero seems to be a general opinion of conlldenco among tho strikers that their cessation from labor will not bo of long duration, as at the Allls-Uhnl-mors shops alone, there is said to bo over one and a half million dollars worth of work which should b( Im mediately attended to, ami tint men argue far more than tho differenco in wages Is lost by the company's Inn blllty to turn out theso jobs, Chairman Campbell, u ronersatlon with a Tribune man. said: "This matter of arbitration spoken about fs u question w bother there Is Cooking-with Gas FREE DEMONSTRATION, We liaic secured (he services nf Miss Emily Harion Colling To lectuic on and deiiiuustiatc the ART OF COOKING WITH CAS Or, How lo Male CooMiij LVsy, l.ecluie. and demonstrations dining ths week rciniiiciulng May SO cirry iifttrnomi at tt n'clocl,-, at 007 Linden .licet, lhaid nf Tude biiiiuinc.

There seems to he nn elToit tn proie Inconsistency on the pirt of Hie iiriclilul-ls Involved ill this matter bo c,iuo we will not consent to betray the other liie unions who have Joined with us and allow ourselves to be Used to thwart the others. Nnw, lu this matter It Is necesssiry lo inn. elder the movement locally almost entliely and we want it distinctly understood that nut until 'lliui-ilay, May i, did the agreement of the N.i tlcin.it Melal Trades association with the In ternational Association of Machinists enter di rectly Into this matter. When the notice r.nnc In lis last fall that the limn had arrived for the Hist half liour'ii reduction, according to the Xcillon.il Melal Tiade.s association agrrciiicnt, it was .accompanied by a list of the members nf that association, which contained the name nt tho Pliksoii Manufacturing company. A com. milee (nt which 1 was a member), appointed merely to secinn Inhumation as to their inten tions, WSs informed they had withdrawn. Mr. Mcl-.ticii furnished this information In a rather vague way, as to the time, and we were aller wards Infoimed fiom our headquarters that their wllhdiaw.it was not yet auctioned. We iritainly felt Ju-lllled in concluding there might he an eftoil to evade this very nine-hour day itEirciuciit on the part of the Dickson company. However, be that as It may, It eliminated tho National Melal Trades association fiom the mat ter. Then r.teclrlu Cily lodge began the very care ml and thoiougli work which has resulted in the f i ti 1.1 1 1 ii nf a Metal Trades council of the Central Labor union of Scranton, Pa., not jet unite complete In its details, nor as caiefully cl.i.sslllcil as It will be later, but very effective for the pin pose of securing the nine-hour day. In doing this we presented the matter lo the other unions nf mel.il workeis and let them ai t for themselves, and they freely and unani mously decided they would like to have the nine-hour day, too. We want the public to ileaily uii'l.'iM.iiul Iheie ale Hie oilier factors in this moicuicnt besides the machinists, all of whom are capable ol deciding stub a question for thcni-flvcs. The way ..icy have decided it we all know. Tbe machinists must not be con sidered as haling leading sliings on them. These other live unions have been enumerated so often it Is nnt iicicssary at this time to re peat llieir n.uues. In diavving up a joint peti tion in piesent to one employers it was, nf iniuse, neics-.ny for Ihe machinists lo be still siiboidinate lu their gi.iud lodge and abide by its iiilltijjs, and as long ns we did this we weie enliiely at. libeily to be panics to the joint petition decided on by the nther five unions besides ourselves, the delegates of whom com pose the council mentioned. Xnvv let the people of N'l.infou undeisfaiid just what me have met with in our clients to secuie as woilby a thing as the nlnc-lioii. da v. We considered any committee nt the twelve delegates (two fiom each of tho six unions) would be competent to represent all the lneiii biis nf the .uious unions in any of the shops of the city, but we knew- if this was attempted we could be met with that stereotyped speech of welcome about "our own emplnjes aie al ways weh nme lo a conference," etc., etc. So wo decided the council would select a committee nf "uur own employes" at each shop ti repie ent the council and act in the name of the council. Ihe advantage of this ought In be ap patent. Unh shop crnftnian Jn joining his in spcitive uninii committed his interests to it, ami eaih union in turn committed its inlcicsts, through its two delegates, to the council. Tho action of the council, however, had to bo taken b.iik to eaih lodge for latifU.ition by the indi vidual members before becoming binding, hut by being alllliated in this way it expedited m.it teis, because It a committee was selected by the inuncll it lepie.sented all the craftsmen of Ihu loumil and could, thereloie, be limited lo fvvo or three men, regardless of what craft they were, and we weie fiee to select the most suit able null. When a (ounnlttce so composed and accompanied by mjself as chairman of the coun cil, called on Mr, Mcbairn euly In May and pie-enlcd the petition of Ihe council and claimed tliat in so doing we i-rprc-ciitcd the sentiment nf- his men. acting thiough their unions, be did not hcilaic tn espic.ss his dis. plc.isuie, and intimated that it u.is in the in line of an inteifeieuee on the put of an :is-o-nation ur organization in a mejsmc fmciun to his shops. In almost the same breath he infmincil Us Ihe petition could not be cuii-lcl-eted by himself or the olliceis nf the shops here, but that II would have to be foiw.iuhd to the itllims of sumo association the Dicksnn ci.m p.iuy had, been nbsoibod by and pa-cd on by Ihein. The expression was u-ecl that Ihe inncein was "vvnilh millions." We undeistood that It was dcirci we should get the iiupios.loii that we "vveii! up against the teal thing now," Tho occasion, however, was taken lo point nut to Mr. .Mi I., lien the iiiion-Ileiiey of his pn.s(ion in objecting to an association having anything tn do wilh the attitude of Ids lucu toward his company, when the attitude of his company Kiw .11 it his men was to he governed by au asso ciation. W heaid nothing of a National Melal 'liades aRiccineiit then, cither. Now at the last minute we aie liifiunied the concent is under null .in .igieement, and when we weie mi in- clinic. I 1 immediately sent our president an ex act copy of tho petition as piesontril hy the i cmiic II and asked him If the machinists should ihange it as far as it mmcrucd llirin. lie gave lis positive InsiiiK liens not to do so, both speci fically and by ntlicl.it ciicnlar. No. -I, which has been published as his ultimatum, nii'l why should we consent now lo be used ns llie weapon wilh which tu defeat these other five unions.
