PRESSMEN REFUSE TO WORK . . Reverse Their Decision Reached ? Monday and Vote tc Stay Out New York, Nov. 12.?The print ers' stride situation was more com plicated than ever last night. New York presmen's union No. 51, which had previously decided to reojin its international organization if per mitted to do so in a body and then return to work, reversed its decision today and voted to stay on strike. Criticism by other "seceding press men" is believed to be responsible for the change of attitude. Meanwhile hundreds of pressmen and feeders who reported for work were prevented from carrying on their trade because of the lack of ; compositors, who are on a "vaca tion." Compositors are said to . hold the key to the situation and un til they return to work little hope is held out for a fell resumption of woik in the larger shops of the city. It was stated that 20 more shops resumed partial operation yester * da*, making 130 operating in all, but a canvass of the plants showed lit tle improvement over conditions Monday. Charles Gaiicn, Elwood Melsy and ; George Crowe, representing Phila delphia pressmen, attended a meet ing of local No. 51 and promised that the Philadelphia local would ccnrribute $7,500 weekly if the local pressmen would fight employers to a finish. A letter also was read from the Chicago pressmen prom ising a weekly contribution of $5,000. ST GAR TO BE RELEASED 15,000.000 Pounds Were Strike- j hound at New Orleans New Orleans.
