MAY BREAK STRIKE
Four Chicago Roads Come
to Terms With Their Men.
NO CONCERTED ACTION TAKEN
Majority of the Strikers Are Ex
pected to Return to "Work Today . !
OUlcIalst of the Union Still
Unreconciled
CHICAGO, July 15. With "agreements
reached between, four railroads and their
employes, the great strike of the freight
handlers and teamsters that has parai
vzed the Industries of Chicago for a aveek'
Is apparently broken. A majority of JheJ
Atrlkars are exDected to return to work
tomorrow. Some of the more radlcaH
unionists may refuse to -accept the terms
accepted by the representative commit
tees, but apparently they will be able to
wield little Influence with the majority
of the strikers! A mass meeting of the
freighthandlers has been called for to
morrow, and upon, .the aotloh taken at this
meeting will depend theattttude of the
striking' teamsters. Their Natl6nal presi
dent, A. Lis Young; ordered them back to
work tomorrow, but Jf the freighthandlers
refuse to declare the strike off, somo of
the teamsters may refuse to- work. It
is conceded that their officers ex'erclse lit
tle absolute authority.
The first railroads- Xhat entered into
agreements with their men tonight were
the Lake Shore it "Michigan Southern;
the Chicago & Northwestern, the Nickel
Plate-and the Illinois "Central, Of tho
four, the Northwestern and Illinois Cen
tral accepted tho proposition, jnade upon
advice of ine teamsters b6arcT6f arbitra-"tion.-'The
Nickel Plate- anil' lake Shore
succeeded In getting their men to sign
i the scale presented by the roads July 1.
Consequently, neither the freighthandlers
nor the railroads claim a victory., As the
employes of the Lake Shore were the
first -to sign, however, the railroads are
expressing the greatest satisfaction over
(the break in the strike.
The freighthandlers will return to work
"without having obtained recognition of
their union, time afhQ a half for overtime
'or the abolishment of the: probation period.
On the other hand, the freighthandlers
'have obtained increases In pay, the small
est Increase being 25 cents "per day, gained
(by the truckers.
While the signing of the agreements
"breaks the strike. It docs not end it. It is
now still In progress so far as.20 of the
3A railroads in the city are- concerned,
President Curran and a few of his sup
porters are still unreconciled, and, state
that they will not recognize any of the
agreements. The fact remains, however,
that a majority of the freighthandlers are
'seeming tired of the strike and are eager
to return to work- It is probable that
they will be given an opportunity to do
eo tomorrow, for all the railroads arc
eager and ready to sign agreements simi
lar to that made by the Lake Shore Rall
"way. This agreement was signed tonight
"after all hope of a break In the strike
appeared to bo at an end.
Railroads Accept Scale.
While affairs were thus- apparently
reaching a crisis, several of the commit
tees appointed by the freighthandlers had
occepted invitations Issued by some of
the railroad managers and 'cniercil'Snto
a discussion of the strike situation. In
six. of the offices, those of tho .Michigan
Central, Wisconsin Central, Illinois Cen
tral, Lake Shore, Nickel Plate and Chi
cago &. Northwestern, the conferences
"were in progress. The executive commit
tee of the Freighthandlers "Union was
meeting with a committee of officials of
the Teamsters' Union, who were attempt
ing to compel them to settle the strike.
Chairman Job, of the State Board of Ar
bitration, was still endeavoring to bring
the railroad officials and the strikers to
gether. Then came the unexpected announce
ment that the employes of the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern had accepted the
scale offered by tho road July L While a
meeting of the Freighthandlers' Union was
considering tho news of the signing of
xne iaKo fanore scale, the committee which
vhad visited the Chloago & Northwestern
officials reported. They declared that tho
Chicago & Northwestern would pay 17
cents an hour to truckers, do away with
the probationary period, and pay straight
time for overtime. This was what the
committee had asked for, but acquiescence
-or tne officiate was considered a victory.
President Curran put the question of
wages to a, vote and he 17fe cents an
Thour rate was accepted.
When the news of the signing of the
agreement was imparted to the strikers,
there was much grumbling. They de
clared that there was a conspiracy to '
break the strike, and refused to admit
themselves beaten. Some of tho mem
bers of the executive committee coun
selled the men to accept the terms of
the railroads. They told them that the
struggle had. bpecune a hopeless one, and
asked them to declare the strike off. A
majority of-the men 'agreed"-with the
speakers, but a minority of radicals was
"with President Curran -and shouted down
the majority. An adjournment was taken
"until tomorrow morning, when another
meeting will be held. At this meeting
a final vote will be taken on the propo
sition of going back to work. There Is
a strong chance that the meeting will
decide against peace. This action on the
part of the meeting would have little ef
fect on the strike situation, however.
Twenty-five per cent win have returned 4
ao woric oy tomorrow morning.
Polijce Precautions.
.Eight hundred policemen were held In
"reserve at down-town stations or at the
railroad warehouses this morning In an
ticipation of a possible attempt tp raise
he embargo on freight. The 'situation
was regarded as even more serious than
yesterday, as the failure 6f conferences!
scheduled for today was believed to mean
that the merchants, who are suffering
over $1,000,000 loss every day of the strike;
would assume a determined attitude.
At meetings held yesterday, houses in
different lines, but especially those han
dling perishable goods, declared their in
tention of manning their trucks and at
tempting to take freight from the ware
houses of the railroads." After tbo-meet-4ng
of the teamsters last night, when it
was arranged that the freighthandlers
should make one last proposition to the
managers, the merchants changed tholr
plans of action the first thing today to
await tho result of the conference. Few
wore found to express hope that these
meetings "between the inen and .their for
mer employers would result in peace.
Said one wholesaler .this morning:
"We have gat to do business, even If
the militia has to be called out. A few
hours will tell tho story."1 -
One man said that the Teamsters Union.
had broken its contract made only a few
weeks ago, and nothing remained but, to
crush it If It persisted in staying out In
violation of its agreements.
Business Agent Hanks, of the Brick-
makers' Union, declared that should the
freighthandlers continue to refuse per
mission to move bricks from the freight
yardfc, between 10,00i) and 20.000 building
men would be out of work -within a week.
South Water street men called a meeting
this morning to confer with representa
tives of the teamsters and seek moans to
get their goods started.
The truckmen today learned that the
following telegram had been sent out by
Superintendent Seizor, of Uie Chicago &
North western Rallwaj at Boono, ia.:
"To Agents Along the Lino: Advise me
if you are able "to pick up good men who
can read and write, jiot over 35 years of
age. for. permanent work in Chicago as
'checkers and truckers. Pay, IS cents an
hour."
If this be a bona fide offer, the wage
offered Is half a cent an hour higher
than is'asked by the strikers in Chicago.
An Important move to end the war was
the following call by the teamowners for
a mass meeting:
-An leamowncrs. Dusmess men ana tne
-public generally who arc Interested in ter
minating existing labor troubles between
railroads and, the employes, are request
ed to attend a mass meeting to be held
in tho drill hall of the Masonic Temple
at 8 o'clock this " evening. July 15. 1902.
Charles J. Hart, President. Joseph W.
Haftj Secretary."
The men signing this call said the sit
uation had become unbearable, and they
considered a mass" meeting would result
in some plan for peace.
Unmolested by the striking freighthan
dlers, the. Illinois Central'Railroad Com
pany unloaded two fruit cars In Wood

eortlona from the ranks of the local force
of imported men have occurred, and tho
strike leaders say that all the helpers,
numbering 50 men, have quit at North

Turning suddenly to te younger man,
Loubet nad asked: "You know tho peo-,-ple.
Am I popular?" And. almost
breatfiless from Surprise, the other had
answered: "I do not think so, Monsieur

There was a moment of embarrassed
silence around tho board, which was

"You havo, of course, good reason for
that "unwelcome opinion; can I not sharo

""Monsieur le President," went on the

SALT LAKE, July 16. A telephone mes
sage just received from Park City, Utah,
cays that the magazine on the 1200-foot
level of the Daly West mine exploded
shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. There
were 150 men at work In the' mine at tho
tlmo the explosion occurred.
Eighteen dead bodies have already .been

mine prevent any one entering. It will be
two hours before the exact number or
dead can be ascertained. All phyelclans;
available have been sent to the scene or.

At 4 o'clock this morning 24 dead and
21 others in a dying condition had been
removed. One hundred and five men are
still n the mine. The tunnel Is full of
gas. and it Is impossible to penetrate far
into the mine.
HOPE FOR THE DESPAIRING
Victim of n Misfortune Offers Aid to
His Fellow-Sufferers). m
Infirmity, in whatever form It may pro
sent itself, generally makes Its victim an
objoct of pity and compassion. Mankind
Is quick to sympathize with the sick or.
afflicted. This is not, however, true of
ono particular kind, tho victims of which
are subjected to scoffs and sometimes
curses, although they suffer through no
fault of their own and no cure has ever
been found. I refer to tho men or women
(God pity them!) who snore and I wish
to say a word or two In their behalf.
No class is. more deserving Qf sympathy,
for, generally 6peaklng, people who enoro
suffer more than do those who are com
pelled to listen to the snoring. This state
ment may be doubted by some, but I bo-
Jlevo it to be true of the majority of
snorors. I know it Is true of myself, and,
I am sorry to say, I have quite a reputa
tion in that line. My friends havo told
me that my snoring was heard above the
rattle of Mausers on the firing line, and
drowned the roar of the train In tho
sleeping car. What have I not suffered
on account of It! What sleepless nights
I have passed when so situated that it
might have been disastrous in many ways
to have allowed a note to escape! The
many Invitations I have refused because
I did not wish certain friends to know of
my Infirmity.
How anxiously I endeavor to sscure in
hotels rooms remote from occupied por
tions, and how I listen, upon entering a
room, to ascertain whether I can hear any
signs of life in adjoining rooms. And If I
do hoar sounds that Indicate that the
walls are of paper only, what a terrible
sinking feeling cornea over me as I realize
that I must put In the night trying to
keep from snoring, and that, In spite of
all my efforts, it will be impossible to do
so. I may stretch myself face down
ward in tho pillow, repolved to stay in
that position all night, but it only results
In niy being awakened later on and find
ing myself flat on my back. Then comes
the query as to what awakoned me. Waa
it my own snoring? Or was that noise J
heard made by tho ladies in the next
room hammering on the wall to awaken
me? Oh, the agony of It!
On one occasion, in a hotel of a Western
city, I had a room with connecting door
opening into another room. I did not
know the other room wag occupied, and
turned in- to enjoy a good sleep. In tho
middle of the night I was awakened by
loud hammering on tho door and a de
spairing voice exelaiming: "For God's
sake, turn over!" Oh, the pity of it!
Another time, traveling In Central Wash
ington, after 20 miles of walking over a
rough road. I brought up about 10 o'clock
at night at a little wayside place. Tired
out and bruised by falls, I was taken up
stairs by the light of a candle, saw that I
was to share a room with eome half dozen
men, who wore already in their cots.
That one time I was too tired to take
any thought about my neighbors, and I
wont to sleep. To sleep to snore. To
make the rafters roar. One Wagnerian
note awakened me in time to hear a
fellow In the corner say "My God! They
ought to make him sleep In the barn." I
forgdt dfscretion; forgot that I was in the
wild and woolly West, 40 miles from rail
road; and, remembering only how much I
had endured that day, I reached out.
grabbed a neighbor's big boot and hurled
It Into the corner whence the voice had
come, yelling my compliments as it left
I my hand. L expected trouble to result.
but I just dldn t care. Strange to say,
there was nothing worse than a grunt,
and I soon dropped asleep again, and, I
suppose, took up the music at the pojnt I
'left off. When I woke up late In the
morning all my neighbors had left. This
experience will do to laugh over pow, but
there waa nigh to murder then.
And how can a man so afflicted ever
have the courage or heart to ask a girl
to marry him? You cannot well ask her
If she snores. Misery likes company, I
know, but she might resent the query. t
would hardly do to ask her' whether any
of the men folk around her house snores,
and. If so, whether she does not really
think there Is something inexpressibly
sweet and soothing about some of the
notes. She would think you were "lo
coed." But If you don't let her know be
fore marriage. Just think what a rude
awakening there would be from love's
young dream! My copy of "How to Pro
pose" makes no provision, furnishes no
hope, for my case. I am doomed to live
alone simply because I snore. Oh, the mis
ery of It! And, gentle woman! How many
noble women do you suppose are living
lonely lives simply because they could
not bear tho thought of the ones they
loved finding out that they snored? It
Is terrible. The only thing for us snor
ers to do Is to create a sentiment of envy
in placo of the pity that Is denied us.
Let It be known that to snoro Is indica
tion of a cheerful disposition, of a liking
for good living and good fellowship; tho
earmark (on-nosomark) of ono who will
make a gooji husband or wife, or a faith
ful friend. We shall Boon have every
one claiming to be a terrible snorer, and
our day will havo arrived. Wo can
stretch out In our hammocks at tho
beach and be lulled to sleep by tho
knowledge that all our friends will bo
told by our sleep that we are of the
right sort a friend to tlo to.
The 'world can keep Its pity. We don't
need it. ABAD S. NORER.

Story- of n Convicted Man, a Pardon
nnd a Pointer.
Detroit Free Press.
"A good many years ago," said a well
known Michigan lawyer who was reminis
cencing the other day, "I became greatly
interested In a state prison case. A young
farmer was charged with having driven off
10 out of a flock of 12 sheep and sold
them to a butcher. He put up a fair de
fense, but was convicted and sentenced
to a term of three years.
"There were plenty of people who be
lieved thit he waa perfectly Innocent, and
even the butcher who bought the sheep
came in time to doubt If he had identi
fied the right party. After the caso had
stirred up a whole county I took a hand
in it. In 'my petition to the Governor 1
had the evidence of the young man's
father, mother and sweetheart, and I
got eight of the jurors to sign It. I made
out euch a good case that tho Governor
took It under advisement and finally
agreed to issue a pardon. In speaking
to me of the case he said:
" 'Thero Is no sort of doubt in my mind
that this was a case of mistaken identity,
and I shall be only too glad to restore the
young man to liberty.'
"It became my pleasant duty to drive
seven miles over the muddiest pf roads
to bear the news to the parents that a
pardon wis to be Issued. The old man
was under the weather and in bed In "a
room off the parlor. The wife received me
and cobbed over the good news, nnd then
went In to break it to her husband. That
partition wall was thin, and they both
spoke in loud tones, and I plainly heard
her say:
" 'Oh, Samuel, there's a man here who

"I left the rejoicing farmhouse. Intend

pardon," said the lawyer, "but It present

good reasons why the young man couldn't

pardoned and sent home, and the Gover

Crop Conditions East and In Eng
land Arc Unfavorable Is Mar
ket Manipulated f
Many people are jumping into hopB. The
market Is just the kind for wild specula
tion, and those who are exceeding wise
look upon It as a bramDle bush In which
the Innocents will scratch out their eyes-
The apparent reasons for the bulltsn
market are poor crop conditions In New
York and England, and the fact that sup
ply is used up close to next crop. But
behind this, some observers think, la a
manipulated market LiUenthal Bros., for
example, are credited with holding be
tween SO0O and 10.000 bales. They are gus
pected of playing a bull game in order to
work their holdings for all there Is in
them. In New York tho market Is dull,
and the Lllienthals are suspected of try
ing to boom things out here in order to
get more back there.
The other side of the picture will be
turned when the new crop begins to come
In. If the bulls have not sold off by that
time the other picture mny not have the
rich colors of the present one. At least
30.000 bales of the Oregon crop will he
thrown on the market at that time, and
the effect may be interesting to watch.
The critical time of the market ia the
next three weeks. At the end of this pe
riod the size of the English crop win
begin to take on certain proportions.
Brewers touch present prices very gin
gerly. Before they enter the market they
will have to be convinced that the prices
are here to stay, and up to them for good.
A good deal of outside money either haa
already jumped Into the game or is wait
ing for a good chance to get In. Perhaps
some or many of the lambs will be fleeced.
Of counse, there are thousands of people
who are sorry they didn't buy up last Fall
when prices were at 10 cents. The higher
prices go, the harder It will be for hold
ers of small capital to do business. Val
ues are now about ICO per cent higher
than they wero last Fall. This means
that the man who could control a quan
tity of product for $4000 must put up SSO00
this year, if prices go no higher. But It
they go higher, then eo much more must
be the stakes. And If prices go sky-high,
banks will have to be "leary," thereby
adding more trouble.
If prices stay up, contractors who have
engaged product at 10 and 12 cents will
not have the pleasantest of relations with
farmere in gathering In at 20 cents or
over. It may be expected that some grow
ers will kick, and roar and raise a racket
If not outwardly, at leaet within their
souls.
The American crop this year Is estimat
ed at a little over 200,000 bales. California
will produce, according to present condi
tions, between 55.000 and C0.00O bales;
Washington about 35.000. and Oregon prob
ably S3.000. The total crop on the Pacific
Coast will 'not be far from 175.C00 or 1S0,
000 bales. New York, will have between
20.000 and 30,000 bales, against 60,000 normal
crop. Advices from there a week old are
that the hops are growing well, but that
the eeason is too far advanced for them

to make up much of what they lost from
cold weather. Late Information from
England is that that country will produce
about two-thirds of last year's crop, or
about 45,000 hundredweight, the equiva
lent of about 250,000 bales.
Last year's crop In Oregon was 72.000
bales. In Washington 29.000, and In Cali
fornia 50,000. Approximately, 500 bales
are left In Oregon. 300- of which are held
In Eugene. In California. 1700 bales re

Languid Japanese Lady.
Chicago News.
In a recent address in Tokio a promi
nent Japanese educator said: "Tho Indo
lence of Japanese ladles Is something
amazing. I know a daughter of a. cer
tain, peer, neither an old court 'nor a
feudal peer, but a brand-new one, and
this young lady's Indolence is really be
yond the, idea of ordinary mortals. She
will not' even open her mouth of herself.
As soon ns the time to retire to her bed
arrives she Issues her orders. 'Now I
will retire,' and at once three or four
maids spread the underqullts, help her
or, rather make her, for she simply stands
like a doll to change her clothes, and at
last the girl, swaddled In her night gar
ment, la put to bed Just like a person
suffering from a serious Illness and so the
poor thing goes to sleep and releases her
maids from tholr trouble till the morning,
when the dally routine ia resumed. First
of all she itsucs to the maids waiting in
her ante-room this extraordinary order, I
shall get up now,' and then the process
exactly the reverse of that of the night
before Is forthwith commenced by the
girls. Day after day this routine is gone
through and the spoiled child of the proud
upstart peer forces herself from her mis
taken notion aa to dignity to lead the life
of an Invalid and to cripple the normal
development of her body."

Senator Lodge merits all the congratu

of the enactment of the, bill for Ph'Mp

and long over this matter throughout the
entire session, and It la not extravagant
praise which describes thl Philippine bill
as "the most Important piece of construc

is certainly one of the most original and
most difficult, and in the framing of those
features of It which have run the gaunt
let of discussion. Senator Lodge has led
the way.
