That the company was also confident or securing this treat was snowa wnen workmen placed rails along the curb ing from Taylor street to the depot. After lying along the street for tnany weeks the rails were removed and hauled away. Why the change waa maae nas not keen revealed, but the franchise does not grant the company right-of- way along Seventh street.

(United Press Leasee Wire.) Chicago, April 11. A trlk of com mission teamsters will begin next week, unless the council of the unions and ex ecutive committee of the drivers' local receive encouragement by Monday In their attempts to obtain better condi tions or increased wages. If a strike Is ordered 650 drivers of wagons in the trade of South Water street, which controls the city's supply of vegetables, eggs and butter will quit their wagons and ask their fellow team sters to stop the tratfio of tbe market. A general strike with the . riotous scenes of the bia- strike of 190S and interference with the trade of the entire city is threatened. On this account every effort Is being made by those most interested to prevent the strike. At a meeting of the council tonight, the drivers' committee was allowed dis cretion to act.
