FUND TO FIGHT S MACHINISTS Convention pblsal Strike Gomrite Employers Coinbrav pose Demands of Dnion Labor Organizations. CONSIDERI NG QUESTION OF NINE HOUR DAY MATTER OP WiAjGBS TO BE T.KFT entirely: EN TilE HAjNXvS of INTHVEDTJALi MEMERS OF THE ASSOCIATION. 'New Tork, June 12. The convention of the National Metal Trades' associa- tion continued its session today. The closing hours of the convention are be- j ing devoted to the completion of or - j gianization and final plans to strength en the hands of the manufacturers' in . their fight against the striking ma- ! chinists. The sum of $500,000 raised' by assessment is to tee placed at the dis posal of strike committee to be used in behalf of the employers . The commit tee is constituted as follows: William ! Schawshausner, Brooklyn; John Young, jmiwauKee; o. w . iw at Kins, Milwau kee; Chas. Bliss, Ansoniia, Oonn.; N." B. Payne, Elmira; W. D. Sale, Cleve land; Thomas B. Durban, Brie; Wil liam E. Lodge, Cincinnati and E. G. Gilbert, Scranton. Asked as to the use of this fund, (W. J. Chalmers, chairman of the press committee, said: . "I suppose we will use it as the stri kers do, to support their fellows, pay pickets,' and meet other general ex penses. We used $166,000 in the Cleve land strike, where we paid some men a bonus of $4 a day. There are mill ions more if they are needed. We hae Just received a telegram from the Pacific coast pledging 114 of 135 firms to;irnrnlbershlp. We have delegates from San Francisco, Seattle and Port land, and the rwest is with us. We seeK no trouoie tout propose to pro tect our interest . and industry. We are perfecting district organizations which will be in a measure independ ent, but all the members will 'be in the national association and "we will work together in harmony. We re gard the outlook . as satisfactory and are elated at the support that we are getting. . "We are suffering no loss arising from delay on contracts which we were fulfilling at the time our machinists struck, for all our contracts contain a clause releasing us from liability." Just before recess a committee con sisting of W. Grant King, of Buffalo, F. H. Stillman, of New York, and F. M. Shrink, of Seattle, .were named to report on the subject. The committee spent tthe recess in executive session. Sentiment is diver sified. There are advocates of a unl- - versa! nine, hour day, friends of a ten hour day with five hours off Saturday, ana a radical party tnat is for a straight ten ihour day through the en tire week. It is understood that the question of wages will be left entirely in the hands of individual employers and that no labor organizations will be recog nized.
