THE STRIKE AT ST. LOUIS RENEWED.
Street Railway Men Say the Company Violated
tho Agreement. Company Denies It.
(By the Associated Press

ST. Louis, Mo-. July 9.-The strike
against the ST. Louis Transit Company by
its former employees, which was declared
off on July End, was ordered renewed to-
day at a meeting of the Street Railway
Mems Union West End Coliseum. Tomor-
row morning at o'clock was the time
the company's lines
When the trike was settled on July
End there was discomfort among the men
over the terms of settlement and since
that time the dissatisfaction has grown
daily. Charges were made that the COM
pany had failed to keep the agreement
of July End, and dozen or more in
stances were cited tending to prove that
there had been breach of faith.
Several meetings were held durinpg the
week and committees were appointed to
procure proof of infidelity on thep art of
the committee. After a meeting of the ex
cutive of the Railway Mems Union, held
on Saturday, a batch of affidavits were
presented to the effect that men had
been employed by the company since July
End, in violation of the terms of the
agreement Of that date.
After a session lasting several hours
the executive committee determined to
call mass meeting of the street rail-
way men for today, and to recommend to
the meeting that the strike be declared
on again.
The representatives of the company
through President Whitaker, addressed a
letter to the men denying that the COM
pany had Intentionally violated the agree
ment of July End and declaring its inten-
tion to live up to every condition of the
agreement.
Edward l.. Mann, attorney for the COM
pany, appeared at the meeting and offer
ed to submit the question as to whether
the campaign had broken faith TO Joseph
w Folk, counsel for the men, and bound
the company to abide by Mr.. Folks iudg
ment in the premises. The proposition
was ignored, and by unanimous vote the
strike was renewed.
A member of the executive committee
said today that this was the second time
this company had broken faith with it's
employees and no agreement would be
accepted in the future that did not pro-
vide for the Reinstatement of all old en-
ployes within "a hours after the execution
of the agreement.
There will be no lawlessness or demon
stration of violence this time he con-
tinued. by means of vigorous en-
forcement of the boycott we hope to abb
solutely destroy the earning capacity of
the company"
The men claim that a verbal agreement
was entered into concurrently with the
written agreement and under the verbal
agreement the company had agreed to re-
employ all the old men in sixty days,
seniority of the service determining the
priority of unemployment.
The officers of the company declare
that there was no such verbal under
standing and that the only agreement
made by them was the written agreement
which was published at the time.

RICHARDSON TALKS OF I6 TO1.
Gratifed by the Favor the Platform Finds in
the East.
(By the Associated Press.

Washington, July 9.-The Post tomor-
row will print an interview with Repre-
sentative Richardson, of Tennessee, who
was permanent chairman of the Demo-
cratic convention at Kansas City, in
which he says, regarding the Democratic
platform:
THE conrolling reason for using the
phrase 16 to L in the platform was be-
cause some thought that, while free sir
yer was not the issue of this year, yet,
were it omitted, the very fact of the
omission would Civ it more prominence
and possibly cause it to be discussed
more than if it were simply repeated in
the platform. The argument was that if
it were left out of the platform it would
be an issue, but if it were put into the
platform it would be superseded by the
great issue of Imperialism.
II have been gratified to see that the
nominees and the platform have met with
so great favor with the Eastern press.
few have criticised, but only a few,
and the great bulk of the Democratic
press is once more to be in line with the
party. With this unanimity l feel quite
sure that We can carry enough of the
Eastern and Middle States to win the
election

his campaign, Mr.. Caldwell told this
one that occurred at Faison:
when / got there little Seawell,
from Carthage, who is a candidate
for some office on the Populist ticket,
was there. Having an appointment
at the same time we divided time.
During his speech he. said he had
been comparing the Democratic party
to sand-fiddler that runs in all di-
rectlons with equal facility. Then
he added:
"'When / was in Raleigh the other
day | met a beautiful young girl on
the street who said: Mr.. Seawel, you
didn't complete the sand-fiddler illus
tration in your speech the other day.
You ought to have added: And when
he gets caught and can't get loose
he just leaves the leg that's caught
and goes on without it,
1T wasn't one of our girls. I'll bet,
| replied, whereupon a man in the
crowd called out. No, it was\Jim

The incident caused so much mer-
riment and so ratified Seawell that

rassment as long as he remained in
Faison."

and Jink's School house, Lonnie j.
Sears president. In a short time an
other club will be organized at Green
Level in the same township. At every
meeting of these clubs members are
enrolled. If every township in Wake
county was organized as thoroughly
as White Oak we would carry the
county with majority of $500 for
the amendment

DEFENDED BY THE
IMPERIAL TROOPS.
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Japan is to be left to do all the fighting
in the immediate future General Mac
Arthur must respond to this demand. By
drawing upon the Philippine forces at
least a month could be saved in landing
troops in China.
Secretary Long this afternoon showed
how the Navy was responding to the call
for reinforcements by ordering five hum
dred marines to be assembled from the
several navy yards and hurried TO China.
1t is significant that these are the first
military forces to be sent directly from
the United States to China without in
structions to stop at Nagasaki for orders.
The marines will make up a force of $50
men as the department already has given
orders for the equipment of $50 marines
for similar service They will be sent
out on the first army transport available
for the service.
The Russian and the French Charge,
and the Chinese Minister were among
Secretary Hays callers today. Save the
Chinese Minister, they came as they
said, for information, but it is surmised
that their object also was to assure
Secretary Hay as to the willingness OF
the Governments of Russia and France to
allow Japan a free hand in the matter
of landing troops in China to quell the
Boxer disturbance. There is a suggestion
in the air that this perfect understanding
initiated by Secretary Hay has brought
about the quiet acceptance of at least
one of the most important condition
What this condition is cannot be learned
though it is expected to relate to terri
torial acquisitions.
