10 STATEMENTS IN DISPUTES ISSUED Utile Change in Labor Situa tion; Both Sides Moderate in Their Language The building trades disputes re mained unchanged to-day, according 10 both the union leaders and the contractors, although it was said ' that several more of the Master Bricklayers' association had signed 'The "day was marked by the issue of statements by H. M. Brooks, head of the Central Labor Lnion. on be h-ilf of the xecutive board or the carpenters' union, with which he is officially identified, and by the Mus ter Bricklayers' association. Both Hie modern. e in their language and set lorth the positions both sides '"ftir. Brook's statement is as fol 'UV,| wish to present the following statement in regard to the contro versy of the Carpenters' union, No 287, and the. building contractors ot "First there has been no strike called: the men working on the job were only asked to milt work In moral support of the movement for better conditions, und no men were ordered to quit work by the business agent until this morning, when a few men who are weak-kneed were told to report at once. "The matter would not have gone this far had the bosses met the com mittee on Wednesday afternoon. Now whv do the contractors refuse to meet the executive committee, nnd why do they say we have 110 organization lik el h.c bricklayers have" Such lias been the report niade to some of the members. The bricklayers have not got the mem bership that the carpenters have in "'"Most ofthe contractors are in favor of signing the scale, und at least six of them have at this time signed, yet they would not give us a conference, and two of the laigest contractors have not been reached as yet in regard to taking up the matter .In conference. "Are they afraid of the commit tee or a little fellow like the busi ness agent, who wants the men ..0 have only their just rights and the men to be 011 a more friendly basis an" feeling with the employers, which has not existed In this vicin ity up to the present time, and make the union working man to bo looked m> to and not down? „„„„„ •Now, if the employers will agree m meet the executive board in a conference this matter will be set tled in a short time, and the men return to work. Lei us have peace und a better understanding, and the world will look brighter to the men and their employers. "I have not called n strike and do not intend to at this time. There is no strike on at present. The statement of Master Brick layers' association handed out to dav is as follows: "The Master Bricklayers associa tion desires it understood that the present misunderstanding between Its members and the bricklayers union is not of the Master Brick layers' making. The union has asked (he contractors to advance their wages from 65 cents to 75 cents an hour. This, in view of the ( scales of the other building trades ot the city, we have thought to be unreasonable. AVe offered to compromise on 70 cents an hour. The men have re lused this offer. To give them the whole amount asked would advance ihc cost of bricklaying In Harris burs about $1.30 a thousand, which we have thought would be a great hardship to the prospective builder, especially for the man who'ha* saved up money with which to build a home and who must make every dollar count. We have always tried to deal reasonably by our employes and mean to do so now." The American Association for La bor Legislation, of New York, to-day forwarded to representatives here the following: "That the protective labor laws of Pennsylvania are endangered by the bill authorizing the Governor 'to i suspend any restriction relating to labor contained in any law' is the declaration made by the American Association for Labor Legislation here to-day. "Crging that a public hearing be given on this measure (H. R. 1637), tire "association says: "Although this suspension would be for a period not longer than the duration of the pres ent war, the proposed law is so worded that any exemption would apply to all employments, not to designated establishments furnish ing war supplies, or to special proc esses, or even to special industries. Any exemption under this proposal must be sweeping, having the effect of temporarily wiping the law oft the books.'"

CASE Full Crew Complaint Given to Superior Court at Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, May 5. Arguments were heard In Superior Court yester day on two appeals of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company from deci sions of the Public Service Commis sion. Both decisions from which ap peals were taken were made on com plaints of the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. The first complaint arose over the operation of a train between Harris burg and Philadelphia with a crew consisting of an engineer, lireman, conductor, hrakeman and flagman, but no baggagemen. The complain ants alleged that the train was oper ated in violation of the full-crew law in that there was no baggage man. The train consisted of a bag- Dr. Ferdinand King, a \e*v York City physician and author says: "There can be no strong, vigorous, iron men nor beautiful, healthy, rosy-clieeked women without Iron—-Nuxated Iron taken three times per day after meals will increase the strength and endurance or weak, nervous, run-doAvn folks 200 per cent, in two weeks' time in many instances.

Railroad Contention The railroad company contended that the law requires a six-man crew only on trains consisting of a bag gage car and three or more passen ger "coaches," and that sleeping cars are not passenger coaches with in the meaning of the act. The de cision of the Public Service Commis sion was that a baggageman be car ried on this train.
