by the statement at the headquarters OF

Jim Pairs Story.
In talking with the TELEGRAM-HERA
last evening about the strike, Jim Pail
said that RICE was the committee who
was appointed, and that he selected
himself as the one to invite all the
labor organizations in the city to join
in Il general meeting. That he was the
prime mover in the whole affair and
that he is the one who has got all
the boys INTO trouble. jim Pail further
said that Bill Rice was at the riot, and
that when the police made their charge
he appeared in the front line OF the
mob IN his shirt sleeves, so that the
police could single him out and not
shoot HIM. That as soon as
shots were fired by the police
Rice made his way TO the
rear of them and got out of the reach
of danger. That when he was asked
next day why he took of his coat he
replied that he did it to cover up the
dynamite cartridges which he had. Pail
said that no cartridges were seen by any
of the men and that Rice and his con-
federates were the only ones who
knew anything about them. In
explaining how it happened that so
many of the former employees of the
street car company were ut the riot,
Pail said: ''Rice told all the boys to go
to the north end of the city as there
was gong to be some fun. He had
been telling everyone that some1hIng
was in the wind, aud the others natur-
ally began to talk about it and declare
their intentions to go, not thinking for
minute that there was going to
be anything serious. That was the
biggest mistake that the boys have
made since the commencement of the
strike. But when there Is prospect of
anything exciting, there are always
plenty who are willing to be around.
That was the case with the boys" In
answer to the question as to whether
the plot to use the dynamite eminated
from the strikers union chorus of
voices answered "no."
Tie police last night arrested Emery
c. Webster, who is alleged to be the
Man who struck Detective smith.
He was found at his home, in the
north part of the city. and was confined
to his bed. He claimed that he had been
hurt IN digging ditch and that he was
unable to be moved. The police left
the house, but returned shortly and
found their man making preparations
for flight. They lost no time in taking
hun into custody. The charge will he
conspiracy.
TDe report that the carryalls would
be taken OH was again denied at the
headquarters OF the strikers. Their
financial condition is not very -four
isning, and they admitted that they
depended entirely upon the generosity
OF other labor organizations, and the
promises that have been made by them.
Most OF the men are out of money, and
cannot stand it to be out of work
much longer. The statement made that
the strike funds had been embezzled
and DOcketed by few who had an OBJ
Ject IN keeping up the strife, was de-
med by Pail. In refutation of this sew
eral said that they had had nothing but
q meal ticket, and that others had not
received "A cent. The horses on the
Carry-sns Are Playing Out,
az the strain upon them is too much.
In the agreement or contract which
the railway company asked the men to
sign, IS a clause which makes them
liable for any damages caused by their
carelessness. To this the strongest
objection was made, but 1t
appears that the union practice
methods which are altogether more
arrogant because there is no con
tract signed and nothing to warn n man
that he will be subjected to such treat
ment. II. W. Abbott was employed as
driver of carryall and worked two
and one-half days, furnishing his own
team, and was to receive s. per day.
When he came to receive hrs pay he
was made To- stand damages to the
amount of $l.50 for a slight break
which bad happened TO the vehicle
which the strikers had furnished.
