Cleveland City Couneilmen Intervene
in Street Railway Strike.
DIREC TORS WILL NOT REC EDE
Delay Caused by Change in the
Original Proposition.
PREPARING FOR TROUBLE

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 24.-At 10
o'clock this morning the special committee
of the city council called at the offices of
the big consolidated company, and the
counter proposition made by the strikers
meeting last night was discussed at length.
The council committee will return to the
city hall with the reply of the company,
which it will there submit to the committee
of the men.
The action of the attorneys of the strikers
in submitting to the men last night an
amended resolution instead of submitting to
them the original proposition of the rail-
way company is causing a delay in the
final settlement Of the strike. The directors
of the Big Consolidated met this morning
and considered the amended proposition
which was signed last night by the men.
The directors unanimously decided to
stand by the company's own proposition.
The differences are slight, but the company
feels that it cannot recede from the posi-
ton it has already taken. Therefore, 1t
was announced: THE companys PROPOSE
ton or nothing"
This stand, of course means that there
must be further negotiations before peace
finally comes.
Preparing for Trouble.
Mayor Farley is preparing for possible
trouble. Today he held another military
conference. At it were the mayor, Gen.
Garretson, Gen. Barnett and Gen. Elwell.
At the conference detail plans to handle
riots, in case there is no settlement of the
strike. were thoroughly talked over. All
arrangements were made to bring soldiers
to Cleveland at the first sembIance of
trouble.

SIGNAL CORPS AUTOMOBILES.
They VIII Net He Ready for Several
Months.

The Signal Corps, which. some time ago,
accepted bids from one of the automobile
companies for the construction Of three
electric vehicles for the corps, expects to
get the first of these in about a month.
The demand for automobiles is so extensive
that, in spite of the number of plants
springing up over the country, it has been
impossible for any of the companies to
keep on hand stock enough for immediate
delivery, and from three to four months
was the earliest that any of the companies
would promise delivery of all the signal
service wagons
The first to be received will be a light
runabout. The others are heavy vans fol-
transporting materials and line equip
ments. They will be installed as soon as
received at Fort Myer, where there are O
number of buildings in course of construc.
tion for the Signal Corps. The new vehicles
will be used in connection with field drill
and are expected to help materially In The
wireless telegraphy experiments.
The experiments in this l.ne that have
been made so far by the corps have yo4
been as fruitful of results as some enthu-
siasts in the new telegraphy had hoped
The work is being continued slowly how

REJECTED ALL THE BIDS
New Proposals to Be Asked for Rapid-Fire
Guns.
Penalty Clauses to he Enforced ii
All Army Contracts Hereafter,
Says Mr.. MeikIejohn.

Acting Secretary Meiklejohn has rejected
all the bids recently received for about
s200,000 worth of rapid-fire guns for the
army, and has directed that new proposals
be invited. The ggs-Seabury Company
was the lowest bidder for this supply of
ordnance, but the department refused to
accept its proposal for the stated reason
that tie company is over year behind in
deliveries under an existing contract for
about sT00,0o0 worth of ordnance supplies
The acting secretary has also directed
strict enforcement of the penalty clauses
in all contracts unless specifically waived
by the department for good and sufficient
reasons.
Commended by Army Officers.
The announcement of Acting Secretary
Meikeljohn tnat hereafter the penalty
clause in all War Department contracts
would be enforced has met with general
commendation among army officers who
have the interests and efficiency of the
service in mind. The announcement that
one contract for rapid-fire guns has been
| held up because The contractors were al
ready a year Dehindhand in the delivery OF
a previous contract was met with an angry
denial by some of the representatives. of
| the firm, who declared they were victims
of conspiracy among their rivals
The acting secretary of war said today
| that he had not only held up the bid in
| question, but that from the date of that
action all contractors for ordnance sup
| plies We're warned that the penalty clause
| in their contracts would be enforced by
| the department would a civil contract in
| any court-that is. with reasonable allow
ance for floods, fires and ''acts of Provi-
dence."
The bid in question was from the briggs
| Sea bury company for s209, coo worth of rap
| id-fire guns. 1t had been approved by Gen.
| Burlington, chief of ordnance, in spite of
| the fact that the bidders were year behind
| in the delivery of guns ordered at the out
break of the Spanish war.
| Mr.. Meiklejohn's Statement.
/ When / discovered this" said Secretary
] Meiklejohn, Il Immediately held up the
| whole matter. Under the law l should have
been perfectly justified in awarding tho
contract to the next highest bidder, but a.
| there, was a difference of $4,000 in the
price, / thought there might be a suspicion
| of favoritism in this action and i have or
| dered new advertisements prepared ant
| there is distinct understanding among al
| the companies that hereafter the penalt!
| clause in their contracts will be enforced
| and they can reckon with this factor i'm pre-
| senting their proposals..
