Differences To-Day.
DEMAND FOR HIGHER WAGES
NEW ORGANIZATION OF RAILWAY
CONDUCTORS AND BRAKEMEN.
Increase of 20 Per Cent. Requested
from the Roads West of Chicago
Locomotive Firemen.

CHICAGO, Sept. Rehabilitation a
means of settling labor troubles proved
a decided success in Chicago to-day. One
strike was settled, one that was threatened
was averted and two were put in such shape
that it is reasonably certain that they will
be brought to an end tomorrow. The dam
ger of a famine through the strikes of the
packing house teamsters and the bakery
and cracker wagon drivers now seems a
thing of the past
The strike of the packing house teamsters
was effective to-day so far as the pickets Of
the union. stationed all over the city from
South Chicago to the North Side, were able
to discover, and not a pound Of meat was
moved by Swift & Co. by wagons. The usual
consignments by rail were made and not
interfered with.
Through the efforts of Frederick W. Job,
chairman of the State board of arbitration,
arrangements were completed tonight for a
meeting tomorrow between a committee
representing the teamsters and representa-
tives of Swift & Co. Both sides appear
anxious to settle the trouble, and 1t is
believed little difficulty will be experienced
in reaching a satisfactory adjustment OF
the controversy. Bakery and cracker wagon
drivers and coal and truck teamsters who
received the sanction OF the teamsters joint
council to strike at the plant of the William
Schmidt Baking Company because some of
their drivers had been transferred to other
branches OF the National Biscuit Company
and their wages reduced, quit work to-day.
The officials OF the company appealed to
the union for a chance TO arbitrate the
matter and a conference between the men
and the officials of the company will be
held Tomorrow to settle the trouble.
The strike of the excavating teamsters
came to an end after a lengthy conference
tonight. Nearly every excavating and sand
concern in the city was represented. Under
the agreement reached the men are to re-
turn to work at the terms demanded-$2
a day for ten hours work, with time and
half for overtime or Sunday work.

panied by Messrs. Wolmarans, Vessels

Hague and were given hearty welcome.

said he and his colleagues did not come
here in the character of political person
ages, but solely to obtain assistance for
destitute Boer families.
AT the reception of the generals at the
Town Hall General De Wet, in reply to the
bursomaster's speech, said: I'VE have
come to ask help for the widows, orphans
and other needy persons. Upon assistance
of this kind from England the Beers can
not count" The general also added: IF
England wishes to have the Boer descend
ants of the Husuenots as subjects before
God / am willing TO be a loyal subject
before God until the day of God shall come.
We wish to be loyal to the new govern
ment, hoping that the latter will carry out
its engagements"
At a subsequent luncheon General Botha
declared that peace, which had brought
them all they had desired. was due to the
mediation Of the Dutch premier, Dr. Kuy-
per, who had thus rendered service to the
Beers. General Botha also thanked Hol-
coined Messrs. Kruger. Steyn and .Reitz.
General Botha, again speaking: I'VE have
lost our independence and have endeavored
to obtain compensation from the new gov
eminent for our burnt farms. We have
every reason to believe no compensation
will be forthcoming. Help is absolutely
necessary to prevent the ruin of thou
