Growlac Dally Gravity "I Conditions Bewn Alarmlac to Baslaees M, Wfia Are Dlreet SaSTerers. B08TON, March 11 With twenty thou and men Idle, their rank likely to be greatly swelled by aympathetlo votes ot the Building Trades council and the Bostoa Central Labor union which meet tomorraw night, and tfaa city beginning to suffer from the congested traffic, the only ray of light tonight la tha hope that the confer nee arranged for tomorrow may lead to settlement of the strike. This conference, which Is due to a large measure to the In fluence of Governor Crane, waa arranged this evening at a meeting of the repre sentatives of the Boston Chamber ot Com merce, tha Boston Associated Board of Trade and tha Boston Merchants' associa tion with tha State Board of Arbitration. During tb day Governor Crane had a long talk with the committee of the Allied Ti importation council having the strike in charge, but at Its conclusion he announced that he could sea no way at present to solve the problem. Later he and Mayor Collins were In conference for some time. A little later the mayor Issued a statement that he had bo power to act.' Ha said: Exbaaet Their Resoareee. Until the transportation companies con" Sent to act on suggestions of the arbitra tion board there is nothing more that we can do. The governor and myself have dona all In our power to aid. The anewer from Senator Hanna does not leave a further opening for working for an Imme diate eettlmnant. There does not appear to be any necessity for closing the saloons. There Is no rioting and only when there Is can me power 10 close uiem De exerclsea. The railroad company again which the strike is chiefly declared, tbe New York, New Haven Hartford, shows no Inclina tion to aak for Interference by the National Clvlo federation and reiterates what it has aid from the, first, that Its dutlee as a common carrier are defined by law and that It Is compelled to handle all freight de livered to it, whether by union or non union teams, and that It has no option In the matter. This position, if adhered to, may result In the refusal of tbe federation to interfere In tbo quarrel, as It deslrea a request from both sides before taking UP the natter. ' Freight Baslaes Congrcsted, Freight business at the various railroads, wharves and docks has bsen almost at a standstill today and the moving of accumu lated merchandise is becoming a most seri ous matter to merohants. The strike of coal teamsters wae one of the most aggravating features of the day, and Its effect was quickly felt at hotels, restaurants and places having ao commodatlon ior only a limited supply of coal. Many of ths team of th Adams, Na tional, and local express companies whose drivers are not affiliated with tbo team sters' union were at work today, but it is stated that tomorrow all will be out with the exception ot the United States Express company's man, who belong to ao union. There is a movement to call out the ex pressmen who since the strike of tha Arm strong's Transfer company's men have been carrying more or less baggage across tbe city, Owing to tbo limited supply of coal at tbe breweries work will have to be sus ponded by Friday It tbe strike continues. Await Declslost with Interest. The meetings of the Central la bos union and tha Building, Trades Council tomorrow night are awaited with: Interest. It la known the Central Labor union Is not pleased with tbe manner In which the strike is conducted, especially with the fact that they were not consulted before the strike was ordered. There Is a very strong feeling against ordering a sympa tnetlo strike on this account, but It Is the general belief that although such action will be bitterly fought the meeting will Indorse the strike to tbs extent of ordering out tha ninety bodies affiliated la ita mem bersblp. . It is also believed that the Build' ' log Trades counoll will take similar action aa a matter of principle. Ths affect of the strike la being felt severely In nearby manufacturing towns: At Lynn shoe fac tor lea employing in the aggregate 1,000 hands have been forced t shut down be cause ot ths failure to receive eonslga msnU of leather, and some ether estab lishments are tunning on half time. At eomervllla a pork packing ooncera which ordinarily employs 1,200 hands. laying off about half the men and may be compelled to suspend operations entirely. Mora Recralte Tomorraw.

OPPONENTS TO RECIPROCITY CONSIDER IT Plan May Re Adopted t Have Reciprocal Redaction Apply for Tear front Kext De cember. WASHINGTON. March 12. Overtures hsve ben made for compromise ot the con flict over tbs tariff concessions to Cuba and there are evidences that the two ele ments will come together probably on a proposition to have the 20 per cent recip rocal reduction apply for one year from next December and covering the sugar crop. It is understood that Chairman Psyne and Representative Daliell made the over tures toward an sgreeraent. One ot the leaders of the opposition said that Messrs. Payne and Dalxell had made the proposi tion to him and had asked for an answer. This wss followed by a hssty conference, which developed difference et view. Wil liam Alden Smith said no compromise would' be accepted until after a meeting at which it could be considered deliber ately. Mr. Tawney'sald tbe limitation of time was material, that no compromise would be accepted affecting agricultural products Without similarly affecting manu facturing products. ' Conference Is Urld. Soon aftsr the overtures were made the element opposed to the ways and means committee plan called a meeting In the committee room of William Alden Smith. Some thirty members were present and the discussion lasted about two hours. The Sentiment wss rather unfavorable to ac cepting the plan of 20 per cent reduction for the year from next December and some , of those present favored rejecting the plan. But It was urged against this course that ko long as overtures for adjustment had been msde In good faith It waa only proper to meet the committee representing the ways and means and Mr. Payns and his associates therefore were advised that they would be met by a committee from the other Side. During : the meeting the etatement was made that one of the beet sugar advocates had been assured by representatives ot the ways' and means committee that the plan of compromise would not cover this year's sugar crop and would apply only to the trop of next year, harvested, prior to De cember. 1903. , . . Donbte of Aasaraaees. . Some doubt existed, however, aa to thoae assurances and it was considered quite vital to learn with deflnlteness whether the 20 per cent reduction would apply to two crops or to one. It was stated after ward by the ways and means committee members that the compromise plan would Sect two crops, that of this year and next allowing 20 per cent off en each. There waa no purpose. It -was stated, to limit the reduction to a single crop. This matter probably will be left to tbe arbitrating committee with the Indications that the beet sugar conferees will Insist cn limiting the reduction to one crop, that of next year; and with that limitation will be inclined 'to accept tbe plan of compro mise. A full eonferenca of tha onnoaltloa la Cuban concession will be held tomorrow prior to the meeting of representatives of the .ways and means committee, WILL REPORT EXCLUSION BILL Senate Committee Endorsee Mitchell- Kahn Meaanre Applying; to . - Philippines. WASHINGTON, March 12. The senate committee oa immigration agreed to re port the Chinese exclusion bill known as the Mltchell-Kahn measure.. It Is sub stantially the sams as the modified bill Submitted try the Pacific coast committee, only a tew verbal corrections having been made. A point which occasioned much considera tion by ths committee wae whether or not Chinese Should be excluded from the Phil- Ippinee or whether the whole proposition should be left to the Philippine committee. Tbe committee agreed to retain the provi sion of absolute exclusion, - taking the ground that the United States wanted to retain the Philippines tor the Filipinos and that the latter were aa much opposed to the admission of the Chinese as were tbe Americans. Another section of the bill which the committee debated at length was that ex cluding Chinese sailors from ships of Amer ican register. This .provision also was retained ln the bill,, but with a proviao to the effect that in case of accident, stress ot weather, or serious illness the captain of vessel may ship a Chinese crew for a voy age en which he may hav entered. The paragraph concerning the return of Chinese la changed so as to read as fol lows; The duty of returning said Chinese per son is nerooy imposea on uie master, owner, conaltfiiee or agent of the vessel. and on tha railway corporation.
