STATEMENT FOR THE CARRIERS.
Why the Mems Demand Was Rejected
Some Statistics of EIevating.

In connection with the action of the
Lake Carriers association in Cleve-
land in refusing to make further con-
cessions to the striking grain shovelers
a member of the association last night
authorized the following statement:
THE grain shovelers' union refused to
accept the propositions made by the
Lake Carriers association unless the
union could have the appointment of
the bosses and the hiring of the men,
but Mr.. Corners to hold the contract
and all the responsibilities connected
with it, The lake carriers have refused
To accede to this demand. feeling that
50 Iorg as Mr.. Corners was responsible
to them under his contract IL was not
fair to give the union the privilege of
appointing the bosses and selecting the
men to DO the work.
They looked upon the demand OF the
union as being entirely unreasonable
and made at the suggestion of men who
desired to have control individually of
the work. and as personal animosity
towards Mr.. Corners. There appears
nothing left for the lake carriers to do
but to proceed with the grain shovelers
in the same manner that they have
done Up to date. They can find no fault
with the manner in which Mr.. Corners
has performed his work.
The statistics OF the elsvating asso-
citation show that there has been. in
round numbers. 100000 bushels more
grain elevated from vessels in this port
this season than was elevated for a like
number of days in 1898 when the strik-
ers were all at work. This shows con-
ciusively that Mr.. Corners is abundant
ly able to carry out his contract to the
satisfaction of the lake carriers. doing
full justice TO the transfer facilities Of
the port of Buffalo"

Effect of Trusts on Labor.

Washington, May Thames W. Lee,
of Pittsburg, who has been fighting the
Standard Oil with little success, was be-
fore the. industrial commission yester-
day and spoke strongly against the
trusts. On one point he was quite con-
fIdent-that the general effect of trusts
was Injurious to labor. The effect was
to deprive laborers of competition, of
chance for employment when thrown
out of work and TO make them subser-
Went and poorer citizens. Speaking
specifically of the Standard company's
treatment of its employees, he said they
were well paid and a certain class of
them received very high salaries. Still
the ultimate effect of any monopoly
must be injurious to labor.

On good authority it was stated last
night that the scoopers must >concede
something, and it is rot only possible
but very probable that they Will agree
to accept the terms offered by the lake
carriers. The action of the Lake Car
riers' association at their meeting in
Cleveland yesterday. including the
proposition made by the associa-
TONS representatives to the grain
shovelers of this city, and vot-
ing to make further conces-
sions. opened the way for a settlement
of the trouble on the basis of the last
proposition made by the carriers. which
will mean that while technically Con-
ners Will retain possession of the con-
tract he will have no control over the

mands OF the men will be granted with
the exception of the complete abroga-
ton of the contract.
Where Lays Peril to the Strikers.
During the last twenty-fou hours a
number of shrewd, conservative men
who WELD great influence among the
leaders of the grain shovelers have been
at work. They have told these leaders
plainly that their stand for the complete
abolition of the contract has endangered
the victory already won by the men and
that if they maintain their radical stand
much longer all viii be lost. One of .
these influential men said last night:
THE situation is just this: During the |
first few weeks OF the season the grain !
pouTs into this port by the millions of /
bushels. For about ten weeks after that |
the shipment of grain here is compare |
