It is claimed that unless every point in contest is conceded by the company a general strike of all boilermakers on the sys tem will be called either tonight or to morrow. Conceded enrly AH. There have been a number of ques tions which have arisen in the last few months at Silvis, and these were all taken up yesterday in Chicago, and in all but one point, the one on which the strike is directly based, the superin tendent conceded the position of the men. The strike is based on the em ploying of a bridge gang to do work which the boilermakers claim should have been done by boilermakers only. On this point Mr. Lloyd maintained that the gang now at work can not be released, but must finish the work un der way. The committee felt that oth- r concessions made wore sufficient to warrant acceptance of the terms under the circumstances, and the decision of the committee was wired to the men. The men this morning, however, de clined to accept the terms and approve the committee's decision. Meet Thin Afternoon. Another meeting and conference with the committee which conferred with Mr. Lloyd is being held this afternoon at the headquarters in Moline.
