of Labor to help win the battle for the
strikers is making itself felt.
Representatives. of various busint IS
houses besieged the headquarters of the
Street Railway Union to-day protes ing
against boycotts declaring that they were
unmerted and unjust.

are advised to act slowly and with care
in declaring boycotts and TO take no steps
without according a hearing 10 those
against whom action is proposed.

pay the regular quarterly dividend of IA
per cent as guaranteed, regardless of the
losses to the company on account of the
strike.

ment at q fine of 81. The decision in view

culed. The charge of assault and battery

Havana. June 21.-It is probable that
Estes G. Rathbone, the suspended director
of posts, will be arrested within the next

that they have evidence duplicating him
beyond any question.
MIR. Rathbone's replies in the course of

the inspectors, were regarded as very I'M
satisfactory, more than establishing the
suspicious that have been forced upon the
Investigators during the last few weeks

extent as to compel them to look upon Mr.
Rathbone as guilty.
1t is also understood that the authori-
