Twenty Thousand Idle Work- men Await the Set- - tlement. Towns in Massachusetts Suffer Se- verely Because of the Compulsory Stagnation of Business Due to Industrial Differences. BOSTON, March 12.—With twenty thou- sand men idle, their ranks likely to be greatly swelled by sympathetic votes of the Building Trades Council and the Bos- ton Central Labor Union, which will meet to-morrow night, and the entire city be- gmning to suffer from the effects of con- Ele to-night in the strike situation is the row may lead to a settlement. This conference, which is due in a large measure to the influence of Governor | Crane, was arranged late this evening at a meeting of representatives of the Bos- ton Chamber of Commerce, the Boston Associated Board of Trade and the Bos- ton Merchants’ Association with the State Board of Arbitration. Everybody present realized the seriousness of the situation, and after an interchange of opinions it was decided that the best way of getting at public opinion would be to call a conferencé of the business men of | the city. During the day Governor Crane had a long talk with the committee of the Al- liea Transportation Council, having the but at its conclusion he announced that he could see no way at present of solving the problem, Later he sent for Mayor Collins and the two ex- ecutives were in conference for some time. He said further: “Until the railroad officials consent to having the differences considered, by the arbitration board there is nothing more that we can do. They are obdurate, therefore our hands are tied. The Gov- ernor and myself have done all in our power to render assistance.” The answer from Senator Hanna does not leave a further opening for working for an immediate settlement. The railroad company against which the strike is chiefly directed, the New York, New Haven and Hartford, shows no in- iration to ask for interference by the | National Civic Federation and reiterates what it has sald from the first—that its duties as a common carrier are defined by the law and that it is compelled to handle all freight delivered to it, whether by union or nop-union teams, and that it hzs no option in the matter. This posi- tion, if adhered to by the company, may | result in the refusal of the federation to interfere in the quarrel, as it desires a request from both sides before taking up the matter, Freight business at the various rail roads, wharves and docks has been a most at a standstill to-day, and the mo is be- coming a serious matter {o merchants. The strike of the most aggravating features of the day and its effect was quickly felt at hotels, restaurants and places having accommo- dation for only a limited supply of coal. The brewery emploves will, it is said, be locked out by Friday if the strike con- tinues, as the supply of coal on hand at the various breweries will give out by that time and work will have to be sus- pended. The meetings of the to-morrow night are awaited with great interest. It is well known that the Cen- tral Labor Union is not pleased with the manner in which the strike has been con- ducted, especially with the fact that it was rot consulted before the strike was ordered. There is asvery strong feeling against ordering a sympathetic strike on | this account, but it is the general belict that, although such action will be bit- terly fought, the meeting will indorse the strike to the extent of ordering out the ninety bodies affiliated in its membership. It is also belleved that the Trades Council will take similar action as _a matter of principle. The effect of the strike is being left severely in near-by manufacturing towns, At Lynn shoe factories employing in the sggregate 3000 hands have been forced to stut down becawse of the failure to re- ceive consignments of leather, and some other establishments are running on haif time. At Somerville a pork packing con- cern which ordinarily employs 1200 hands has lald off about half of the men and ay be obliged to suspend operations en- tirely.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 12,—Sec- retary Root to-day made an argument before the Benate Committee on Military Aftajrs in support of the blll creating a general staff and cqnsolidating the Quar- termaster’s, the Commissary and the Pay bureaus of the army under one head, to be known as the Supply Bureau, He sald that the experience of the de- artment during the war with Spain had gemonllrnted the wisdom of this consoli- dation, and that it was demanded by al considerations of e: fmdlency, efficiency and economy. He sald the creation of a general staff would give an officlal stand- epecial work In the War Department.

National Lawmakers May Find New Way Out of the Tangle. Full Conference of the Opposition to Cuban Concessions Will Be Held To-Day to Consider the Question. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 12.—Over- tures have been made for compromise of the conflict over tariff concession Lo Cuba, and there are evidences that the | two elements will come together, probably on a proposition to have the 20 per cent | reciprocal reduction apply for one year from next December, and covering the | sugar crop. ! It is understood that Chairman Paync and Representative Dalzell made the overtures toward an agreement. Une of the leading members of tne opposition | said that Payne and Dalzeil hau made the suggestion to him and bad asked for an answer. This was followed by a h: canvass of opposition members, whic developed wide difference of views. Representative Witllam Smith said no | compromise would be accepted until at a meeting where it cowd be considered de- liberately. Representative Tawney sald the limitation of time was immaterial and that no compromise could be effected which affected manufactured products without similarly affecting unmanufac- tured products. Soon after the overtures of compromise were made the leaders of the element op- posed to the Ways and Means Committee plan called a conference in the rooms of William Smith. Thirty members were present and the discussion lasted about two hours. The sentiment was rather | unfavorable to accepting the plan, of 20 er cent reduction for the year from next ecember, and some of those present fav- ored rejecting the plan. But it was urged against this-course that so long as over- tures for adjustment had been made in good faith, it was only proper to meet the committee representing the Ways and Means, and Payne and his assoclates therefore were advised that they wouid be met by-a committee from thq other side. During the meeting the statement was made that one of the beet’'sugar advo- cates had been assured by representatives of the Ways and Means Committee that the plan of compromise would not cover this year’s sugar crop, and would appiy only to the crop of next year, harvested prior to December, 1903. Some doubt ex- isted, however, as to these assurances, and it was considered quite vital to learn | with definiteness whether the 2) per cent reduction would apply to two crops or to one. It was stated afterward by Ways and Means Committee members that the com- promise plan would affect two crops—that of this year and next—allowing 20 per cent off on each. There was no purpose, it was stated, to limit the reduction to a single crop. This matter probably will be left to the arbitrating committee, with the indications that the beet sugar conferees will insist on limiting the reduction to one crop, that of next vear, and with that limitation will be inclined to accept the plan of compromise. A full conference of the opposition to Cuban concessions will be held to-morrow prior to meeting representatives of the ‘Ways and Means Committee. —_—— TRAINS WILL HAVE QUICK TELEPHONE SERVICE Railroad Companies‘Axra.nga to Pro- vide a Novel Convenience for Their Patrons. CHICAGO, March 12.—In connection with the overland limited trains, the man- agements of the Chicago and Northwest- ern, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads have decided to provide a quick service telephone system for the use of patrons of trains arriving at stations in Chicago, Omaha and San Francisco. This innovation, the first of its kind in the world, will be started about April 1, when the equipment will be ready for service. Many patrons of the overland limited are business men, to whom such telephone service will prove valuable. | There will be a special wire connection between trains and stations and rapid connection will permit the use of a tele- phone to within thirty seconds of the leaving time for the train. It has been decided to make up the overland limited | trains at least forty-five minutes before | the scheduled leaving time at both ends of the transcontinental route. The tele- phone will be In the rear of the observa- tion car, which will be nearest to the sta- tion entrance, and the receiver will rest on a mahogany desk. There will be . a v h telephone boy Iir charge. — Given a Banquet by Clerks. o —_—— -+ SUPERINTENDENT OF DELIVERY WHO WILL BE TENDERED A g BANQUET SATURDAY EVENING. M.

L O e 0 a2 KEEPER OF COIN TAKEN T0 JA Former Officer of Macca- bees in a Serious Predicament. et PORT HURON, Mich, March 12.— Charles D. Thompson, ex-supreme finance keeper of the Supreme Tent, Knights of the Maccabees, who some time ago con- fessed to a shortage of 357,000, was ar- rested to-day on a complaint sworn out by Sheriff Maines. ‘The warrant contains nine counts, four of which (‘hal{')goe Thompson with having embezzled $7, between February 12, 1801, and August 12, 1%1. Four other counts charge him with having violated the State law regulating the responsibility of insurance agents to their companies and the ninth count charges him with the larceny of $57,000. Thompson. when arrested, was taken to the Police Court for arrignment. He re- fused to plead and the court entered a plea of not guilty. Bail was fixed at $5000 and was furnighed. His examination was set for March' 18. The Maccabee officials are not named in the complaint, which was made by Sheriff Maines on information and bellef secured in court from Sunremec Recorder George J. Siegel and his books. The county of- ficials say they had become convinced HORSE INFLIGTS HORRIBLE DEATH Unseats Rider and Drags Him Into Waters of a Slough. Special Dispatch to The Call. | BAKERSFIELD, March 12—William Delay, a young man employed as a line rider by Jewett & Blodgett in the Sunset district, left this cit$ last evening on ‘horseback for Sunset with some mail. Not long afterward a riderlass horse was seen standing in Panama Slough, six miles south of this city. When the animal was | roped and led from the water the body of | the young man was found hanging from a stirrup. Delay evidently had been thrown from the horse, which was but partially broken to ride, and then dragged to his death mn the slough. In his hand was tightly clasped the mail which. he was carrying to Sunset. His foot was tightly wedged in_the stirrup. Delay leaves a mother and two sisters, one of whom, Daisy Delay, is a school teacher in Callente.

PR ens sobilib et T sl e “Saved My Life and K ot MeFrom l@ Asylum” Mrs. Wilcox is Now in Perfect Health Through No OtherAgency Than PAINE’S Celery Compouad Earnest and Candid Statements Made by a California Lady. The absolute need of an honest and gen- ulne invigorator and health giver in the spring season is deeply impressed on the mind of every thinking and intelligent man and woman. The bappy cure of Mrs. J. E. Wilcox of ‘Winters, Cal., through the use of Paine’s Celery Compound, created widespread as- tonishment and joy amongst her friends and neighbors, who were exceedingly anx- fous regarding her condition. The best medical treatment failed even to give Mrs. Wilcox a few days of relef from her sufferings of mind and body. At last, Paine’s Celery Compound saved her from a terrible end and planted her feet firmly on the rock of health. Read Mrs. Wilcox's letter of testimony, dear reader, and if you remain obdurate and unbelieving after such an earnest and convincing confession of cure, nothing but a direct act of Providence can snatch you from the dangers and perils of your posi- tion. Mrs. Wilcox says: “I feel it my duty to tell you what | Paine’s Celery Compound did for me. Some years ago my head troubled me so that it seemed I should be crazy. 3%t was caused by overstudy. I asked the #dvice of two doctors who gave me medicine to no effect, and I did not know what [ ‘would do. I did not want to see any one, everything seemed so strange. I had a tired, lagging feeling, my bowels were out of order, my kidneys troubled me, and I felt badly, but before I had taken half of one bottle of Paine's Celery Compound I felt like a new person. Four bottles cured me and I would recommend it to all who feel the way I did. I can’t praise it half enough, for I know it saved my life and kept me from imprisonment in an insane asylum, which is as bad as death. DIAMOND DYES. The only pu\a and un- adulterated. Never crock!
