A BIG STRIKE COMING.
Labor Troubles In New York Will
Afi'ect About 10,000 Men.
GAUSE OF THE DIFFIGULTY.
l‘wo Organizations Have a Dlfl‘erence
With Regard to the Right to :Do
Certain Work—Vlalking 'Deie-
gates to Decide the Matter.
NEW YORK, March 9.——-,A big strike, in-
volving more than 10,000 men, is in prep-
aration, and within 24 hours the workers
on all the new ofl‘ice buildings in this city,
including carpenters,steam fitters, masons,
cement layers, tile layers and helpers, ma-
chinists and engineers, will probably quit
work in a body. ‘ .-
Among the big buildings affected are
William Waldorf Astor’s new hotel, the
Bank of Commerce, the New York Life
building. the Central National Bank
building and the Bowling Green building.
The board of walking delegates meets this
afternoon at the headquarters, 139 East
Fifty-ninth street, to discuss the strike.
The board of walking delegates and the
Central Labor union look upon the Ele—
vator Constructors’ union as a nonunion
organization, and they say that if these
men are not laid ofi a. general strike will
be ordered and 10,000 men will stop werk.
Secretary Henry of the Central Labor
union said that, while a general strike had
not yet been declared, he had no doubt it
would be, as he did not expect that the
nonunion men would quit work before the
time of the meeting of the board of walk-
ing delegates.
The center of the storm is in the Inter-
national Machinists’ union, of which
James O’Connell is grand master, and
which controls the 10,000 men who are to
be ordered out.
O’Connell is on his way here from Chi-
cago, and it is expected that on his arrival
he will take charge of matters. The cause
of the strike is a dispute between the ele-
vator constructors and the machinists as
to whose province certain work beiongs.
The Elevator Constructor}? union was at
one time afliliated with the board of walk-
ing delegates. But now it is no longer
afliliated, and both the board of walking
delegates and the Central Labor union
look upon its members as nong‘ion men.
Little Hope of Settlem. .E.
George Warner, delegate of the Interna-
~‘tional Machinists’ union, notified the C.
L. U. of the impending strike. He said
that at one time his organization, which
had controlled the work for years, paid
dues to the Elevator Constructors’ union,
but had ceased doing so as soon as it left
the two central bodies.
He said he had talked with the represent—
atives of the Sprague company and the
Otis company and that they had ignored
the claims of the machinists.
“If they do not- employ the menwho are
entitled to this. work,” he said, “strikes
will be ordered in the shops of the Sprague
and Otis companies here and in the Otis
company’s shops at Watsessing, N. .T.,
and in’all the large buildings in which
they [have contracts.
, “More than this, general strikes of all
the trades represented in the board of
walking delegates will follow.”
The C. L. U. has indorsed Warner’s re-
port, and Warner says that the strikes will
be ordered, as there is no hope that the de-
mands made upon the companies ‘will
be complied with.
The machinists say that for a long time
the work usually conceded to them has
been given to the elevator‘constructors.
This includes engines, pumps, ma-
chinery, hoisting apparatus and work on
the dynamos, where the cables are run by
electricity.
These elevator constructor men, the ma—
chinists say. are nonunion men, and the
machinists will fight them to the last ditch.

Late in the afternoon the dead bodies of
Nicholas Pefl‘is, James geating and Nicho-
las Pufi‘eto were recovered. Joseph Zucca
is still missing and is no doubt dead.
