worthy men who have been at Mach

extremely predetermined whether the
Beers will carry out their professed
intention to retire to the Lydenburg
hills. These people are inclined to
believe that the Beers will stick to

possible, and that, unless they sur
render, they will fall back to the
Dekaap valley, the most mountainous
portion of the Transvaal. A strong
objection to the Lydenburg district
is the fact that the native tribes are
very much unsettled"

RESORT TO THE BOYCOTT.
Demands OF Striking Street Car Men In ST.
Louis Refused and q Big Struggle
In Now On.

st. Louis, June 1S.-The long drawn
out controversy between the ST. Louis
Transit company and its striking en-
pIoyes has now simmered down into
a struggle between capital and labor
along the lines of a boycott. The
submitting of the question of the re-
instatement of the former employees
of the company to arbitration has
been the bone of contention in the
recent negotiations for a settlement
of the strike, but like all former con-
tentions it has resulted in nothing,
the railway officials demanding an I'M
conditional surrender on the part of
the men. AS result of the COM
panys action President Gompers, of
the American Federation of Labor,
has declared that he will do all in his
power to bring the influence of the
whole body of organized labor in
America to bear upon the local stu
alton in an effort to win the strike
for the union. Mr.. Gompers urges
the strikers to be law-abiding, but
advises them to make the operation
of the cars as expensive as possible,
by refusing to patronize them. The
boycott to be declared, strike leaders
say, will apply not only to the St
Louis Transit company, but to every
person, every business man, every as
