Notable Tie-Up.
NOTED MEN AID ARBITRATION

BOSTON, March 13-Through the
united efforts of representatives, of the
great mercantile bodies of the citv
seconded by the chief executives of state
and city in conference with the recognized
leaders of organized labor, the great
strike Of freight handlers and kindred
trades rc..l esented in the allied freight
transportation council was broken to-
night. Fully 10000 men who have been
IDLE four days will go to work in the
morning.
This result was attained at a confer
ence this evening at the office Of Gov.
Crane. me decision was at once report-
ed to the allied freight transportation
council at special meeting tonight and
unanimously indorsed
The settlement was the result of an
expressed determination of Gov Crane
and those representing the merchants OF
RCstCn to bring all possible pressure to
bear upon the New York, New Haven <.
Hartford Railroad company 10 adopt the
rules in force upon the Boston x Maine
railroad, fCrbidding freight handlers to
unload teams except at their own option
and cisk
All Of the old men for whom places can
be found will be taken back by the rail-
roads tomorrow, but owing to the sud
deEness with which the strike was ended
and the large number of new men who
have been installed it is likely that many
Of the old employees win tomorrow find
no Tacancies ready for them. Eventual
ly, it is believed, they all will regain their
ola positions.
Teams ters and 'lOngshoremen Will find
an unprecedented demand for their
services and traffic of all descriptions,
which has been virtually at a standstHl
fCr the last three or four days, Will be
resumed tomorrow with q rush
The Brine Transportation company, tne
loading and unloading of whose non union
teams precipitated the strike OF the New
York, New Haven and Hartford freight
handlers, does not appear to have figured
in the settlement of the present contro-
versy and as far as that company is con-
cerned. the sentiment against it on the
part of the labor unions is as bitter as
ever. Under the new arrangement. how
ever, union men will not be required to
load or unload this companys teams

PLANTS THAT PUT sMIRCH
ON POWELL CLAYTON
RESULT OF CITIZENS PLEl
sentative to Diaz's Land Is I'm
just to American Prisoners
for Personal Reasons.
SAYS HE rs A sPECULATOR

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Mr. Thean,
local counsel for Mr.. Mealy, the Amer
lean citizen who is held under an order
of court in Mexico for contempt, has
submitted to the state department
through United States Senator Nelson, a
long statement of the case from Mealy's
side, which reflects upon United States
Minister Powell Clayton. 1t is alleged
that the minister has misrepresented the
facts in the case to the department and
that he is interested in a rival company
which has affected his attitude toward
Mealy and his legal fight with the de-
velopment company which forms the
basis of the present action against him.
In sending the papers to the state de-
parIment, Senator Nelson wrote long
letter and referred to the accompanying
papers, among which is an affidavit in
Spanish by Juan Barrera, with an English
translation showing the alleged connec-
ton of Ambassador Clayton with certain
mining companies in Mexico in which
Mexican government officials also are in
tereSted. Senator Nelson reIers to what
he cans the serious import of tne charges
and suggests the improperly of a min
lister from this country being member
of a large mining company which is look
ing for favorS from The Mexican gov
ernment
He says such a minister will not be in
condition to protect an American citi-
zen against the encroachments of a COM
pany in which many OF the leading o1lcials
of the Mexica government are interested.
He says there is a RUE as to consuls
which does not allow them to engage in
trade in countries to which they are sent
and says that the necessity for such a
rule Should be much stronger in prevent
ing a diplomatic officer from engaging in
SnPcul9tivf mining enternriSpS The sem
ator suggests that the questions involved
in the Mealy case are important, espe-
cially as they affect the status of the am
bassador to Mexico.

whipping Republican members into line

Cuban sugar. They believe that tins will
be the outcome of the fight, and on this
they base hopes of carrying the next con-
gress.
They are now "egging'' on the fight and
are loading for big game. One of the
leaders said toUay:
This will mean everything to us in
close districts in Minnesota, WISCONSIN,
Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska and Cali
fornia. 1t gives us just the argument we
want. There is no doubt that this legis-
lation is backed by sugar trust. We can
prove it. They stand to make at least
$5,0O0,O0O by passage of the proposed bill
This poor Cuban talk is all rot.
Now what have we got? Republican
house leaders are bought up by sugar
trust. They are taking protection from
the only article on the schedule which
benefits the farmer. They are not TAX
ing the tariff from iron and steel. The
farmer gets no benefit from that. Il ey
are not taking it from glass or tin plate;
the farmer is not helped by that The in
fant industry of sugar beet does not
count; only farmers profit by that. The
sugar trust wants to fatten OF the ad-
ministration

Democrats approve reduction of tariffs
but they do not approve of singing out
the farmer and shielding the steel trust
