THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1902.
STRIKE CALLED OFF
Chicago Freighthandlers Go
Back to Work.
THE MEN VOTE UNANIMOUSLY
Business Men of the City Entl
mate That the Strike Has Cost
Them Ten Million .Dollars.
CHICAGO, July 16. Renewed activity
on the part of Chicago business men fol
lowed the settlement of the freight hand
lers' and teamsters' strike today, and at
the close of business hours tonight thou
sands of tons of freight had been sent to
and from the various freight depots.
Every one of the 24,000 strikers who could
obtain employment had returned to work
by 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The strike,
it Is tstimated, cost the business men of
Chicago 510.000,000, and in order to guard
against such a contingency In the future
they are prepared to begin an educational
campaign in opposition to the sympathetic
strike. The labor unions will be asked to
forego the use of this potent weapon. The
business Interests which suffered throush
the strike will Join in pledging themselves,
It is. said, not to sign union agreements
which do not guard them against these
itrlkes. On the other hand, the labor
unions are fighting to secure the right to
abrogate agreements for the purpose of
ordering sympathetic strikes.
The frelghthanolers blame the National
officers of the teamsters for the loss of
the strike. They declare that the strike
shows the necessity for incorporating in
all agreements a reservation which will
permit strikes. Credit for the settlement
rests with the State Board of Arbitra
tion. It was the adoption of the sugges
tion of that board which led to the action
of the freighthandlers union in declaring
the struggle with the railroads at an end.
At the same time it is probable that even
had the state board not made Its sugges
tions, the fight would have been practi
cally over tomorrow, as the majority of
the freighthandlers had returned to their
work before the mass meeting at which
the strike was called off officially had con
vened. It was a knowledge of this fact
that had much to do with the action taken
by the union. Howover, the proposition
made by thp State Board of Arbitration
enabled the freighthandlers to retire
gracefully from the field.
The Association of Railway General
Managers, embracing every road which
enters Chicago, issued the following state
ment: "All of our old men now here on hand
for work reported at the freighthouses
at noon today and were put to work. No
conference was held with any committee
or otherwise since Tuesday, and no agree
ment was made with the union or with
any committee. The men simply reported
for work, and they doubtless expect and
will receive the pay offered July 1, and
which the railroad companies have been
Hilling all along to pay."
Curran Charges Treachery.
The little hall where the meeting of the
strikers took place was Jammed to euffoca
tion and thousands were unable to ob
tain entrance. It was a brief meeting,
only long enough for an angry speech by
President Curran and the vote which
followed.
"lenJjBaijl Mr. Curran, "we came out
like men; we 'have acted like men and
we should not so back like sheep, but
there has been treachery in our camp.
Yesterday when I was about to use the
telephone the wire got crossed and I
heard one of the members of our execu
tive committee talking with a railroad
manager. He was encouraging the man
ager to hold out, for he told him the
strike was almost broken. That is a
sample of the faith that has been kept
with me. The officials of the Truck Driv
ers' Union have not kept faith either, and
It seems useless to continue the fight any
longer. Shall we go back and ask for our
old jobs?"
In this simple form the matter was put
to a vote, and almost Immediately a
great chorus of ayes had brought to a
peaceful end one of Chicago's most seri
ous and threatening labor situations. Mr.
Curran, In the course of his address to
the men, said:
"I am going to organize the freight
handlers all over the country, and when
we decide to fight again, it will not be a
struggle between the freighthandlers in
Chicago and the railroads, but between
the freighthandlers all over the country."
It Is believed the roads generally will
allow the truckers 17 cents an hour, and
minor concessions granted by the propo
sition of July 1.
The proposition accepted by the men
was in effect the one given to President
Curran by the State Board of Arbitration
earlier In the day, although the proposi
tion in Its proper form was not placed
before the men. This proposition was as
follows:
"To the Freighthandlers of Chicago:
The Illinois State Board of Arbitration,
after a thorough investigation of the'
present freighthandlers' strike in Chi
cago, and the complications which have
grown out of that strike, recommends to
the officers and members of the five local
anions of the Freighthandlers' and
Warehousemen's Union of America that
the men return immediately to their re
ipective plaoee of employment and apply
for the positions held by them previous
to the strike.
"We further recommend that the em
ployes of each of the several railroads ap
point a committee to confer with the
management of the railroad by which
they are employed for the purpose of ad.
lusting existing difficulties."
The railroad managers, when told of
the vote to return to work, said that
wherever possible the old men would be
taken back. A small percentage of the
new men, however, will be retained, for
t time at least.
Nowhere was the news of the settle
ment received with more pleasure than at
the warehouses, where thousands of men
fathered from other points of the various
roads to take the places of strikers were
longing to return to their homes. They
tad been well fed and given good sleep
ng quarters, but the big majority of
.hem, being accustomed to the comfort of
.heir homes, were tired of "being
lorded."
The merchants had Intended to make a
letermined effort to resume shipping this
uorning, but when a prospect of peace
tgain appeared last night they decided to
n-ait a little loncer before taking action
vhich It was, believed certain would pre
!lpltate violence.
COXVEVnOX OF MIXERS.
n7IIl piect Today to Settle the Gen-
err.l Strike Inwne.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 16. Tomorrow
nornlng the National convention of the
Tnlted Mlneworkers will assemble In
Tomlinson Hall to discuss the advisabll
ty of calling a strike to aid the strik
ng anthracite miners.
The action of the convention Is uncert
ain, although the situation tonight indl
ates that there will be no walk-out of the
oft-coal men. There are so many cir
cumstances, howex-er. that may change
he situation that speculation regarding
he result of the convention Is practi
ally worthless. If President Mitchell
rould declare his personal preferences, it
rould not be difficult to foretell the out
come. At present, he controls the situa
tion absolutely and can swing the dele
gates either way. He will not say openly
what he wishes, however, asserting that
it Is the province of the delegates to de
cide regarding the strike, and that while
he is willing to advise, under no circum
stances will he assume to dictate to the
convention what It shall do. He said
this afternoon, however, that the conven
tion would take action which would re
sult in the winning of the strike by the
anthracite men In the East,
Believe Settlement Is In Sight.
OMAHA. July 16. Matters In the strike
situation on the Union Pacific began to
clear today to some extent, and the shop
men who' are out profess to believe that
a settlement is In sight. Strike leaders
say that the recent visit of President
Burt and other officials to the shops In
the West and the continued desertion of
new men will have a salutary effect In a
short time. Present Burt refused to
make any statement, but another official
said that the road knew nothing of a set
tlement, and had no concessions to make.

TORONTO. July 16. The International
Molders Union has adopted a resolution
providing for the recognition of cards of

tent of allowing their ho!dcrs to work a

WASHINGTON. July 1G. Having prac
tically adjusted the question connected
with the surrender to the Chinese of the
control of the City of Tien Tsln, this
Government has been asked to Interest
itself in me settlement of the grave dif
ficulties growing out of the insistence of

shares of the war Indemnity In- gold In

Wu came early to the State Department
today and had a long Interview with Sec
retary Hay, In the course of which he pre
sented a cablegram from the two leading
members of the Chinese court, who are
primarily in charge of the negotiations,
'j ne message brings out for the first time
the fact that It is now a difference of
method rather than disposition that divides
the powers, and that all seem willing to
do what they can to make It possible for
China to carp- out her heavy obligations.

STORM IN NORTH DAKOTA
Much DnmaBc to Property, but Xo
Loss of Life.
FARGO, N. D., July 16. A section north
and south of Grand Forks was visited bv
a terrific wind and hall storm last night,
causing great damage. At Conway the
hail was the worst ever experienced, and
It is fearod the damage to crops will be
heavy. At Thompson, south of Grand
Forks, three churches were demolished,
one house destroyed and the' passenger
depot and platform partially carried away.
At least io per cent of the telegraph poles
between Grand Forks and Thompson, 14
miles south, were blown down. At Win
nipeg Junction a caboose was blown Into
a ditch and two trainmen were Injured.
At Belmont the wind destroyed the Luth
eran Church, a schoolhouse and the resi
dence of the Brooks brothers. No fatali
ties are reported. Off of railroad and tele
graph lines great damage is feared.
Hard Storm In Illinois.
PF.DPTA Til Tnl.. ir .i- ij
and rain storm swept over the country j
north of Peoria this forenoon. Telephone
and telegraph wires are down, and it is
impossible to get definite Information
concerning the losses. At Chilllcothe.
lightning did great damage. The steamer
Speed was blown ashore at Heney Island,
but not seriously damaged. So far as
known, no lives were lost. McLean Coun
ty was struck by a, storm today that al
most approached a tornado. Trees and,
small buildings were blown over, and'
much other damage is reported.
Xo Lives "Were Lost.
ST. PAUL. July 16. While it now seems
practically certain that no lives were lost
in the terrific storms that devastated a
portion of the Red River Vallev. near
Grand Forks. N. D., last night, the loss
to farmers will be extremely heavy. Hard
ly a farm In the pathway of the storm,
and It was almost 100 miles long by 10
wide, but had its farm buildings either
demolished or damaged to some extent.
The loss to the wheat crop Is reported to
have been very heavy.
The cablegram, which Is from Viceroys
Lieu Kun ilh and Chang Tung, Is as fol
lows: "According to reports of a conference
held by the foreign Ministers at Pekln on
the indemnity question, the United States
is willing to accept silver, Great Britain
:s willing to accept silver In accordance
with the plan of amoiUzatlon up to 1910.
and Russia and France propose the col
ltctlon of import duties In gold. It Is
also known that Japan has not taken any
decided position. The revenues of China
amount annually to 80.000,000 taels, 50,000,00
taels of which Is set aside for the pay
ment of the National debt How can
the remaining 30,000,000 taels be made to
satisfy the administrative requirements
of 22 provinces?
"Attempts to ral3e revenues from new
sources on the part of the provincial au
thorities have In many cases created local
disturbances. In case heavier taxes be
Imposed, an uprising of the people will be
the natural result. Since the various
payments admit of no delay on the dates
on which they severally fall due, money
has to be taken from other funds in order
to meet the pressing demand. It has al
ready appeared to be beyond China's abil
ity to make the payments even in silver
In accordance with the treaty. The for- !
eign powers Know iuii well the financial
resources of China. When the indemnity
question first came up for discussion the
total amount was repeatedly reduced. Now
the willingness on the part of the United
States. Great Britain, Russia and France
citiier to accept the silver or to pay duties
in gold. In spite of the divergence of the
views, shows that all appreciate the fact
that to make payments, in gold is a bur
den too heavy for China i bear. Inas
much as the foreign powers have shown
such consideration for China, we feel It
Incumbent upon us to make renewed rep
resentations on the subject, to the end
that ?n arrangement which shall be both
reasonable and feasible may be found."
China Ripe for Rebellion.
VICTORIA, B. a. July 16. Pekln cor
respondents of Chinese papers received
here by the Oriental liners arriving yes
terday state that a big rebellion la being
organized by the ex-Boxer leaders, Tung
Fu Hsiang, Prince Tuan and Lan King,
who are In Nlngshal, and that they have
the assistance of the army of General
Tung Fu Hsiang, whose army was ordered
disbanded, an order which the soldiers
refused to comply with, but. Instead, took
up their arms and Joined the rebels. The
intention is to Invade Pekln and place
General Tung Fu Hsiang on the throne.
'J nese correspondents agree that China
never .was so ripe for rebellion, the natives
having been dr.ven to It by the cruel acts
of the officials.
Corn Crop a Total Loss.
SAUK CENTER, Kan.. July 16. About
$400,000 damage has been done to the crops
within four miles of Sauk Center by the
hall, rain and wind storm last night.
Corn Is almost a total loss, and wheat and
other crops will average little more than
one-third.

RESTORING THE CAMPAXILE.
"Work Begins on the Collapsed Bell
Tovrer at Venice.
NEW YORK, July 16. Within a barri
cade surrounding the ruins of the cam
panile, workmen are sorting Into separate
heaps the marbles, statues, broken bronze
bells, copper rooting, carvings of the col

correspondent of the Herald. SIgnor
Kasi, Minister of Public Works, and
SIgnor. Calderon. Director of Fine Arts,
have arrived from Rome, to conduct the
Inquiry Into the causes of the disaster.
It is now thought the collapse was due
to the east wall of the tower having been
damaged by lightning In 1745. when the
republic built a new wall against It. The
two walls, never Joined properly, and the
old wall began to settle in 1SS0. The two
were united with Iron and thus made
stable. Against the east wall was the
Sansovlno logetta, which greatly needed
repair, as rain entered where the wall
Joined the campanile. At this spot work
men last week cut through the new wall
Into the campanile to put steel supports.
The old wall Instantly fell some inches
lower.
Half a million lire ($100,000) has al
ready been subscribed for the rebuild
ing of the tower, which will be the work
of several years.
VENICE. Italy, July 16. Offers of money
to aid in rebuilding the campanile con
tinue to be received from abroad. Includ
ing offers from America, but there Is a
disposition to make Its construction a
purely national affair, and to rebuild the
structure exactly as it wwa prior to the
collapse, without foreign assistance. The
cost Is estimated at G.000.000 lire.
