In the course of his reply he said: §“I regret that you should ! in this letter have spoken at all of the use of the Federal army as you have there spoken. * * #* ] want to say one thing with all the emphasis in my power. In upholding law and order, in doing what he is able to do | to suppress mob violence in any shape or way, the Mayor of Chicago, Mayor : Dunne, has my hearty support.” | CHICAGO, May 10.—The committee j of labor men, appointed to call upon | President Roosevelt and lodge with | him a protest against the employment of Federal troops during the present teamsters’ strike, was granted an au- dience late this afternoon. The com- mittee consisted of Cornelius P. Shea, president of the International Broth- { erhood of Teamsters; Charles Dold, | president of the Chicago Federation of | Labor; Joseph O’'Neil, vice president of the Chicago Federation of Labor; T. P. Quinn, a member of the Canvassers’ Union, and T. Rickert, president of the Garment Workers' International Un- fon. Outside of the members of the committee, President Roosevelt and Secretary Loeb, no one was present during the conference. The following account of what occurred in the room was given out by Secretary Loeb: After presenting the protest to the President, Shea, acting as spokesman, said: “We are here as a committee to present to you a statement stating our position in this controversy be- tween the Employers’ Association and the Teamsters’ Associations. We have understood that they have asked your aid for bringing troops into Chicago. | We want to present our petition to you.” ANSWER OF PRESIDENT. The President said that he would read it at once, and after doing so said “l have read the petition you have presented to me, the conclusion of which is a request for a hearing before any action be taken by the Federal au- thorities relating to the Chigago situa- tion. As yet no suggestion of any kind has come to me from any source that 1 should take any action. Of the mer- its of the case, I am wholly ignorant. 1 have no knowledge of what the sit- uation is or of what steps should prop- erly be taken to end it. I feel, how- ever, that in view of the one state- ment, or series of statements, in your letter, I ought to say this: I regret that you should in the letter have spoken at all of the use of the Federal army as you have there spoken. No request has been made to me for ac- tion by the Federal Government, but at the same time, Mr. Shea, as you have in this communication to me brought up that fact, I want to say one thing with all the emphasis in my power. In upholding law and order, in doing what he is able to do to sup- press mob violence in any shape or way, the Mayor of Chicago, Mayor Dunne, has my hearty support. I am glad to be able to say this to you, gen- tlemen, before I say it to anybody else. “Now let me repeat that I know nothing of the facts of the situation. 1 know nothing of the rights or wrongs of the points at issue. What I have to say is based purely upon what I regard as the unfortunate phrasing of a let- ter presented to the President of the United States. I have not been called upon to interfere in any way, but you must not misunderstand my attitude. “In every effort of Mayor Dunne to prevent violence by mobs or individ- uals, to see that the laws are obeyed | and that order is preserved, he has the hearty support of the President of | the United States, and in my judgment | he should have that of every good citi- zen of the United States. “Now, gentlemen, it has been a great pleasure to see you and I am glad to { have had the chance to say this to | you.” | Quinn, who knew the President in his youth, said: “Mr. President, what | prompted us to come to you with this | statement is that for the past two or | three weeks there has been a continual | howl for the Federal army. I have | known you long enough to know that | you would not respond to a one-sided | demand; that you will not respond | until you have thoroughly investigated ) NO APPEAL FOR TROOPS. The President replied: ‘“Mr. Quinn, as yet the Mayor of Chicago has not made any appeal to the Governor, and | therefore, of course, the Governor has | made none to me; and as yet nothing ‘m the situation has -demanded action by me."” President Shea of the Teamsters' | Union then said: “Let me explain that. | The Governor has been requested by the committee of the employers to de- | mand Federal troops; the statement has been made in the papers. I im- mediately telegraphed Governor De- neen that we would allow him to ap- | point a commission. “Regardless of that, I want to make ! our position known to you in regard to mob violence. Every time a mob con- ! gregates, every act of violence per- | formed by either a union man or a sympathizer reacts to our detriment. | I believe that we are skilled workmen {enough in our particular craft to demonstrate to the business men of Chicago that it is to thelr interest to employ us. There s nothing at stake but the re-employment of citizens of Chicago who have been forced out of | their positions. Violence meets with | the condemnation of the officials, both | local and national, of our srganization. It does not meet with the sympathies of our organization. I simply want to | say that we will be fair, to preserve the business interests of Chicago; that the prosperity of our employers is our prosperity.” The President replied to ‘this saying: ““Mr. Shea, I can only repeat what I have said. /T am a believer in unions. I am an honorary member of one unfon. But the union must obey the law just as the corporation must obey the law, | just as every man, rich or poor. must obey the law. As yet no action has been called for by me, and most cer- tainly if action is called for by me, 1 shall try to do exact justice under the law to every man, so far as I have power. But the first essential fis thé preservation of law and order, the sup- pression of violence by mobs or indi- viduals.” the ‘This closed the interview, and committee withdrew. REFERENCES TO ARMY. J The sections of the union vetition Denounces Riots and Violence. Teamsters That the Words on Army Displease Him. lwhich referred to the army are as fol- ows: “You will therefore readily see that we have the right to demand arbitra- tion, a demand that has been repeated- ly spurned by the employers in the presence of Mayor Dunne of Chicagc. And why spurned? Because they open- | ly boast that they can spurn and that i { the troops under command will shooot | (down him who dares to openly protest {against - their action. They flatter themselves that the Federal army is their ready toal to act upon their sug- gestion—right - or wrong—and they : | therefore refuse to have any inquiry imade as to whether they are right or | wrong. { “Peace rests not upon the militia or | the army, but ypon the patience and long suffering of the toiling mass. The | army, so far as it has any effect, 1!! not to quiet, but to disturb; it is not | to terrorize, but to make the people | { meditate. They wonder what all this | ‘bluffing’ i8 for. Can a few soldlers | scare the men who make armies and | who compose the flower of American manhood? Are we serfs that we cringe at the mention of troops? “If the laboring men are willing, the deeision of an arbitrator without cannon or club will command the obedience of every toiler affected. Then if the decision of the man un- armed and alone can exercise this great power what is the use of this sacrifice of lives, calling out troops and making an opera bouffe of gov- ernment? It is evident that a blunder has been made somewhere, somehow. Let us ascertain its source. “Is it just or is it necessary to bring the United States army into Chicago | in’an effort to smother the cry of the toiler for arbitration? Is it right or expedient to attempt to stifle the de- mand for the settlement of controver- sy by court procedure? Is the pur- pose of the army to prevent the car- rying out of written contracts that are open to all who care to read them? Can you, our honored President, af- ford to use the forces under your con- trol to stifle laboris demand for peace and the methods of peace? “Why should our attempt to get and maintain peace be met by the army and by war? Every laboring man | knows these facts. What will be the results upon the citizenship of this | country if, when American citizens | ask for court procedure and order, they are met by the bullet and the | Jail? Is‘it not time to inquire as to the facts in the case? It is therefore better to recognize this law and deal | with it as such and make use of the | high trial of manhood of which it is given expression than to commit the folly of trying to crush it out, as| George III tried to crush out -the| spirit of unity and independence in | the colonies.” SCHOOL CHILDREN STRIKE. It was generally understood by both sides to the strike that there wanld be no distirbances while President’Roose- | velt was in the city. Notwithstanding | this passive agreement, there were a number of outbreaks, one of them tak- ing place on Michigan avenue, a short | time after President Roosevelt had passed along, and in which a number | of men were cut and shot. During the luncheon at the Mer- chants’ Club in the afternoon Mayor Dunne and President Roosevelt held an extended talk, in which the strike situation was discussed. The Mayor explained the present situation in the | city and told of the measures taken to | preserve peace and order. Mayor Dunne told the President that the most alarming stage of the strike had passed and that the police | have control of the situation. The | Mayor also informed the President that there is no need for Federal aid in Chicago at the present time. | George S. Pierce, a union teamster, ‘was shot and killed to-night by George | Waldron, a Deputy Sheriff, who was | guarding a Wells-Fargo Express Com- ‘l pany wagon. Waldron was formerly a | member of the Teamsters’ Union and Pierce taunted him with his change in employment. Angered by the language of Plerce, Waldron drew a revolver and fired one shot, the bullet striking Plerce just above the heart. He died while being taken to the hospital ‘Waldron was arrested. Eight hundred pupils of the Hne- dricks Public Bchool went on a strike to-day because a colored teamster of the Peabody Coal Company delivered | a load of coal at the building. Many | teamsters stopped near the school and | prompted the pupils in the strike. Police sent to the school are alleged to have used clubs on more than one pupil. The crowd quickly scattered. EXPLORER FINDS MAGNETIC POLE Special Dispateh to The Call. NEW YORK, May 10.—News comes from the Arctic that the expedition un- der Captain Roald Amundsen, which salled from Christlanija Norway, on June 17, 1903, has made highly impor- tant discoveries. Amundsen, who set out in a small craft with a crew of but eight men, has found the north mag- netic pole, whose discovery is originally credited to Ross in 1881, although many sclentists doubt that Ross really lo- cated this elusive guide to the compass and of the world. The North magnetic pole has been generally assumed by geographers as being on Boothia, the most northerly peinsula of the American continent, and close to King Williams land. It influence though its variations are not great. It is not to be confused with the terrestrial north' pole, the goal of explorers, which is situated some 1300 miles north of the magnetic pole. Amundsen is said to have made scien- tific observations of the highest value. In addition to this discovery the ex- pedition has gone from Greenland to South King Willilams Land and seems sure of completing Northwest passage, which navigators have been unsuccessfully trying to do for 400 years. g _ Amundsen, incident to these achievements, hag found & monument erected by Sir John Fr: ‘when the great explorer and 138 of his men were perishing in the ice.

A LETCHER MUST D0 FILL TERY Special Dispatch to The Call. TOLEDO, Ohio, May 10.—George E. Letcher, the wealthy Californian, un- doubtedly will have to serve the five-year penitentiary sentence im- posed upon him by Judge Donnelly | last winter for complicity in the Bryan arson. .case. The Circuit Court to-day confirmed Judge Donnelly’s decision on a motion for a new trial, which he had refused. ’ The point in question was the admis- sibility of the evidence of a co-con- spirator. € such evidence could be used conspiracy must be shown. If this point had car- Pratt would have been ruled out. As Pratt is now dead such action would be equiv- | alent to Letcher’s release. The court’s ruling is so conclusive that, even though carried up, a new trial is not considered as a possibility. —_———————— Santa Ana Man Honored.
