Members of the State Board of Arbi- | tration Are in Hopes of Speedily | Adjusting the Existing Differences. | CHICAGO, July 7.—Hopes of a speedy | settlement of the strike of the freight | ndlers’ union, which was declared to- | day, are entertained by officials of the: union and members of the State Board of Arbitration. The officials of the union| at a conference to-night told Chairman | Job, of the Board of Agpitration, that t were willing to permit employes of different companies to meet official of the same to discuss the wage scal providing a joint conference should be | held at which officials of the union would | be permitted to act as advisers to the | men. The arbitration board is now work- ing on the matter in an effort to bring about a conference between the railway | managers and committees representing'the | the railroad officials have oftered p from the beginning of the con- e the troversy there is littie doubt the strike | can be settied satisfactorily to both | sides if the conference is arranged. Lack of unanimity already permeates Labor was ignored when the order was issued for the men to quit work, and its| | executive officials are somewhat uffended | | and are jnclined to let the freight hand- | | lers fight out their battle in their own | | way. There are 12,000 freight handlers m | | and ‘about the various freight houses of | the twenty-four railroads centering in Chicago. Of this number more than 9000 are now involved in the strike. Some of the men who quit work to; did so un- | der protest. Notably this was the case in the freight house of the Lake Shore and | Michigan Central Railroad. The men there employed were receiving | all the consideration they had asked. | "hey forced to strike, however, by | ilhe strike. The cago Federation of | | were o he order of the executive committee of | their union. Before going out the men | informed the railway officials of the sit- | uation and sald t would seeK an im- mediate return order from the authorities | that had ordered them out. | MAY JOIN THE STRIKERS. | The sudden suspension of customary | operations by the freight handlers to-da occasioned ble trouble in and | about the railroad warehouses and stations, but the inconvenience and | delay wer it a drop in the bu what will happen to-morrow and latey in the week if the strike shall not be set- tled sooner. 5 To add to the present difficulties of the | rallroads, the teamsters’ and truckmen's | ‘.union threatens to join in a sympathetic | strike. If this shall occur, it wil alf:(‘li {all in-coming and out-going frelght of | every kind. Every railroad in Chicago to- | day accepted all freight offered. While it was confessed by several railroad of- ficials that freight was not being moved | | as_expeditiously as heretbfore, yet it was led weil. | The various freight houses and yards, | however, disclosed a large accumulation of unmoved freight and cars loaded with freight. There was no trouble or disor- der in or about any freight house. | Anticipating the possibilities of such a | strike, the railroad companies had brought | to Chicago 2 number of men to take the places of the strikers. These men were intercepted by pickets of the strikers and | most of them were induced to join the | Freight Handlers’ Union. MANY SYSTEMS AFFECTED. | The principal railroad systems affected | by the strike are the Chicago, Cincinnati | and St. Louis, Chicago and Great West- | | ern, Baltimore Ohio, Erie, Atchison, | Topeka and Santa Fe, Chicago Terminal Transfer Company, Lake Shore and Michi- | gan Southern, Chicago, Rock Island and | Pacific, Chicago and Alton, the Monon, | Chicago and Eastern Illinois, Wabash, | Grand Trunk, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, the Pennsylvania, Chicago and | Northwestern, Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul,_ Illinois Central, Michigan Central and Nickel Plate. [ These roads control over 100 warehouses | | Although officials: of the Teamsters' | Union_have declared that no instructions | have been given to the teamsters as to | backing up the freight handlers, the sym- | pathy of the teamsters was made ap- | parent to-day. When the men walked out | of the Tllinois Central warehouse the | teamsters who were receiving or unload. ing freight immediately took thelr trucks away. The strike was called by a committee | appointed at a meeting of 1000 freight | handlers held last night. The committee | was instructed to call a strike within | forty-eight hours unless the railroads | should meet the demands of the men at | once for an increase in wages, extra pay for overtime and holidays, and recogni- tion of the union. Action was taken on | those instructions sooner than was ex- | pected. The committee went first to the Tilinois Central and Wisconsin Central freight houses on the lake front. The | men walked out with cheers and marched | across the viaduct on Union street with | their union cards tucked in their hats. RESERVE /| FORCE OF POLICE. | By messenger and by telephone all other | members of the Interior Freight Handlers’ | land Warehousemen's Union were called | | out The men called out include foremen, | check, recheck, receiving and delivery | clerks, sealers, callers, weighmasters, | stevedores and elevator men. | Chief of Police O'Neill, when notified | that a strike had been called, sent or-| ders to his subordinates to make every | preparation to preserve order. Two hun- dred and fifty men were called in from | outlying stations to form a reserve force | to be stationed at the downtown stations. | From the stations the men went In| squads to the different yards. | W. C. Brown, vice president of the Lake Sh‘:]r and Michigan Southern Raflroad, | sa “About S0 per cent of our men went | out, but the remainder, with the addi- | tional help which we have hired, are han- | dling our freight as well as could be. business is not tied up and will not be. J. T. Harahan, second vice president of the Dlinois Central, said about half of his company’s 450 men had struck, but| he had vardmen close at hand to take their places. Harahan said he thought the strike could have been avoided if the men had been willing to consult with the roads through their own commissioners instead of through their union. WILL TREAT WITH MEN. “We have no trouble in adjusting dif- | ferences with our engineers, firemen and | | other employes,” said Harrahan, “but the | freight handlers presented a document through the officers of their union and| we, of course, could not deal with them | through third parties.” | It was reported to-night that the Illi nois Central was bringing 400 men from | the south to take the places of strikers. Other roads were sald to be taking simi- lar measures, bringing in men from the ccuntry districts or other citles on their systems. Chairman Job of the State Board of Arbitration said: “I have sent letters m‘ the managers of the twenty-four roads affected and to President Curran of the | freight handlers, offering the services of} the board in attempting to bring about a settlement. So far I have received no reply from any of them.” BLOOMINGTON, 1il., July 7.—The rail- roads are rushing section men into Chi- cago to take the places of striking freight handlers.

For the past few days Mayor Martin and all the other city officials who were defzated have been conniving for the pur- pose of holding on, and it was whispered about that they intended to steal the of- fices. To-day Mayor Martin and City Clerk Cottle refused to surrender their of- fices, and it was only when Chief of Po- lice Haley threw them out of the Cou cil chamber bodily that Mayor Wors- wick, the people’s choice, was allowed to | preside. For ten minutes this morning the Coun- cil chamber was a scene of pandemonium. The Martin administration nad maintain- ed a guard of five policemen in the City Hall all night to keep the Worswick peo- ple out. Not oniy this, but they nad locked the doors of the chamber until Mayor Martin and Clerk Cotue could ar- rive and secure their seats. At 8:3) o'clock the doors were ovened and the people were let in. Martin and Cottle oc- their places, and Councilmen rie and Porter were in their accus- | tomed chairs. Mayor Worswick, accompanied by Clerk Belloli Jr. and his City Attor- F. B. Brown, entered, accompanicd y John E. Richards. Richards asked Mayor Martin what he intended to, do, and who his attorney w but he re- ceived an ur factory answer. Wors- wick called Chief of Police Haley and told him that if he did not obey what orders he gave him he would suspend him. TUMULT IN THE HALL. Mayor Martin calledjthe Council meet- ing to order at 9 o'clock. the same time Mayor Worswick advanced toward the chair and demanded his place Mayor. He was totally ignored, and Mar- tin started -to read paper. Worswick began an address to the Council. Then the excitement commenced. Two May were trylng to address and pr the same meeting. Clerk Cottle, in the meantime, had started to call the roll, and Clerk Belloii stepped forward and began the same task. The Council chamber was crowded. Cries of “Throw him out!” were heard, and Worswick motioned to Chief of Police Haley. That officer caught Cottle by the back of the n. and arm, dragged him from the clerk's chair and shoved him ;hli"Jugh the chamber and out into the ha Worswick then instructed Belloli to call the roll, but Martin interrupted him by starting to read a statement. As Mar- tin persisted in reading, Worswick di- rected Haley to remove him. Martin, who is a large, robust man, refused to leave, and Hal reached for the ex- Mayor. s he Martin caught hold of the d with both hands. Haley broke his grasp and dragged Martin toward the door leading to the private office. Martin grabbed the door-casing, and here an- other struggle ensued. He was finally put out. Martin attempted to enter again, and was again forcibly ejected. In the meantime Cottle came in and tried to get in his chair; but Haley grabbed him, and, taking him to the door, gave him a shove whi sent him sprawling in the hall. Hale was cheered every move he made. During this iting period the audience surged forward and cried ‘“‘Put him out!” “Throw out the push The work done by Haley was just what about a hundred determined citizens had decided to do if Chief of Police Haley had refused to obey the Mayor's orders. Thc leaders of the citizens' movement held a meeting last night and determined to balk any attempt of the Mackenzie crowd to steal the offices. This morning they met and attended the Council in a body. NEW MAYOR’S MESSAGE. After the ousting of the Mackenzieites Mayor Worswick called the Council meet- ing to order. City Clerk Belloli called the roll and Mayor Worswick read his mes- sage. The message renews on behalf of himself and the Council their ante-elec- tion pledge that they will co-operate to | give San Jose an honest, economical'and businesslike administration, such as hon- est, careful and prudent men apply to their private business. He shows that the city has commenced each of the past three fiscal years with an ever-decreasing cash balance, notwithstanding a_growing ircrease in revenues, and that all funds except the cash basis fund are unreason- ably depleted. He finds that there has been large waste of money in the pur. chase of city supplics; that three deputies have been allowed the Clerk, where but one is necessary; that the office of clerk to the Fire and Police Copmission is a sinecure, and he recommends that no appropriation be made for its continu- ance. He also recommends the abolish- ment of four of the five kindergarten schools, the saving to be applied to the decrease of the deficlency in the school fund. LEGAL FIGHT CERTAIN. The following appointments were then announced by the Mayor: City Attorney, Elected and Tempest Results in the Municipal Buildin g - 5 F. B. Brown; City Engineer, C. H. Pieper; Superintendent of Streets, W. F. Blake- lee. City Clerk Belloli announced the ap- pointment of Charles J. Lightston as dep- uty clerk. These appointments were all unanimously confirmed. An adjournment was then . taken the Council until Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. Attorney E. E. Cothran been re- tafned by Martin and his assoclates. They will begin quo warranto proceedings to oust Worswick and the rest of the ticket. The matter of registration is to be at- tacked. Under the ruling of the District Attorney the old register was used at the last city election, and this is claimed to have been illegal. Another point is that City Attorney Partridge decided that reg- istration closed three weeks earlier than it did, but District Attorney Campbell ad- vised the clerk to keep registration open, and in that way several hundred votes were added.

L, July 7.—Having voted, after a strike of two months’ du- ration, to return to work, the motormen and conductors of the United Traction Company here lost no time to-day in making application for their old places. At the offices of the company the men found less than 150 vacancies for about 400 or 500 applicants. The railfoad officials 1e-employed as many of the old men as were needed without displacing those who had been taken on during the strike, and others were placed on the waiting list. in Pawtucket the strikers have refused o abide by the decision of the Street Railway Employe: nion and they will not return at present. The strike began early in May, when the Union Traction Company, being com- to reduce the hours of its em- ployes under a new labor law, refused to grant the denjand of the men for the same pay as wag recelved for the longer day. TRAINMEN ASK BETTER PAY. More are be- Owners of Canadian Northern Will Not Submit to Demands. WINNIPEG, Manitoba, July 7.—Cana- dian Northern trainmen, including con- ductors, presented a schedule to-day and demand recognition inside of thirty-six hours. The engineers and firemen are meeting, and will likely come to some decision. McKenzle of McKenzle & Mann, owners of the property, says the road will spend a million dollars before any organization will be recognized. The Northern has imported sixty men from the south to replace the strikers. Strikers’ Places Are Being Filled. KANSAS CITY, July 7.—To-day /283 men were working in the Union Pacific shops at Armstrong. The force has been gradually increased day by day since Wednesday, when 263 men were employ- ed inside the fence. All the gates to the big yard are guarded, and watchmen see who enter or leave. The union men have an equally strong picket system. These pickets watch ihe gates as close- Iy as the railway guards. Thus far there has been no violence at Armstrong and no threats. e RN Carpenters Strike in Baltimore BALTIMORE, July 7.—Two strike or- ders went into effect to-day and 1400 workmen afflilated with the Carpenters’ and Garmept Workers’ unions quit work. The carpenters demand $3 a day and nine howrs’ work for every day except Sat- urday, when the day shall be one hour shorter. The number of garment work- ers on sfike is about 600. eir griev- ance is that employers require them to VATICAN ACTING WITH EXPEDITION Will Give a Prompt Re- ply to Judge Taft’s Proposition. e ROME, July 7.—A member of the com- mittee of Cardinals which is examining | the propositions submitted to the Vatican authorities by Judge Taft, Governor of the Philippine Islands, with regard to re- ligious affairs in the archipelago, has offi- cially informed Bishop O'@orman of Sioux Falls, 8. D., who is a member of Judge Taft's party, that the committee expcets to be able to reply to Judge Taft's propositions, submitted on July 3, by next Thursday night. The Vatican is priding itself upon the expedition with v\;hlch this business {3 being done on its side. The note to be given by the Vatican to Judge Taft will contain, as did Judge Taft's note to the Vatican, a set of con- tracts with clauses of agreement to be sigred by both parties. Great difficulty continues to arise as a result of Judge Taft's request that the iriars in the Philippines be withdrawn the Cardinals especially insisting that the friare of other than Spanish nationality, although they belong to the four reli- glous orders concerned, remain, as well as a sufficient number of Spanish friars, to teach the Spanish languu% in the unt’ versities on the islands. Horace Higgins, manager of the Man- ila-Dagupan Railway, has arrived here to consult with Judge Taft. —_— Your First Duty to Yourself 1s to look after your own comfort.

MANILA, July 7.—A large number of Moros from Mascu, island of Mindanao, armed with twenty-one rifles, planned to ambush a pack train of the Lake Lanao columns, but the Americans were warned in time and anticipated the attack. One shell from a mounted gun dispersed the Moros. The Moros in the towns of Mascu and Bocolod are growing more aggressive. General Chaffee has advised General George W. Davis to disregard the insult- ing letter received from the Sultan of Bo- colod and to remain unaggressive unless attacked, or until an overt act be com- mitted.

CHICAGO, July 7.—The grip of the Gates clique on the local supply of co tract corn and the plight of the “shorts” were again made evident to-day, when July corn broke the record of recent years by going to 843 cents. The next sale was at 83% cents. The market opened with corn for this month’s delivery wanted at all the way from 77 to 79% cents.

LONDON, July 7.—Winston Spencer Churchill, Conservative, and Ivor Churchill Guest, Conservative, in the House of Commons to-day raised the question of the “rustication™ of the cadets of the Royal Military College, 3a1dhurst, as a result of their fallure to denounce the persons guilty of starting the recent fires at that institution.

No charge had been formu- iated against individuals, but the cadets who had left Sandhurst all belonged to companies. whose quarters had been set cn fire.

Kansas Firm Is Forbidden to Use Stock and Grain Quotations. KANSAS CITY, July 7.—Judge Hook, in the District Court to-day in handing aown a decision in the suit brought by the Chicago Board of Trade against the of kansas City to prevent the use of the Chicago board’s quotations, held against the bucket shop on almost every point. An appeal to the United States Supreme | Court will be taken, as I its suit flled a year ago the Chicago Board of Trade claimed a proprietary right in its quota- tious, and under the new bucket shop law scught 1o compel grain speculators in dif- ferent States to pay for the use of them. | The Christie Company fought the case on | the ground that the Chicago Board of Trade was itself a bucket shop without standing, and, further, that its quota- tions were public property. The suit was in the form of an application by the Beard of Trade for a temporary injunc- ticr. . Judge Hook granted the temporary in- junction. Christie’s attorneys announce that a supersedeas bond would be given, which would operate to stay the eXecu- tion of the decrees pending appeal. With the injunction stayed, it will be poasible for Christie to continue getting his quo- tations by secret means, as he has been tor contempt of court. The suit also enjoins the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Postal Tei- egraph Company from distributing or giving the Chicago board’s quotations to the Christie Company. The decision was something of a sur- prise_tc Christie and his attorneys. It had been expected that it would be in live with the rulings of the United States courts at Cincinnati and Indianapolis re- certly, which declared that the Chicago toard was without standing in court be- cause of its violation of the anti-bucket shep law. ———— k!31!'.VEEI])GE NOT AFTER THE VICE PRESIDENCY Indiana Senator Says That Under No Circumstances Would He Accept Nomination.
