Drivers Who Are a Srke-Conference Between
Lverymen and Employees Results in No Agreement

White ribbon, the symbol Of temperance,
Is the sign Of recognition adopted by union

the union yesterday 1t was decided by the
Executive and Strike committees to adopt
ribbon of white. to be displayed in. a con-
spicuous place. either on the carriage or
the driver. to denote that its wearer is a
member of the cabmen's union.
The strike yesterday developed into Sc
rfes of conferences between committees
from the union and liverymen. but up to a
late hour last night no agreement had been
reached. and the indications are that the
strike will not be settled to-day.
James Hardy, one of the liverymen.
signed the scale yesterday and agreed to
recognize the union. All the drivers for
this stable went back to work Immediately
after the company had signed. The signing
of this company marks the second break in
the ranks of the liverymen's association.
and representatives OF the union claim that
others will follow to-day.

To-day tug attempted to reach her but
was not able to get within two miles of the
boat. Tomorrow another attempt will be
made.
This evening the mate and two sailors of
the Hopkins came to the city after a
perilous trip over the ice. They were near
ly frozen and tell an awful story of the
condition of affairs on the boat.
The three men who came in were John
Baker, mate. of Buffalo; Albert Walters of
Lorain. and William Yates of Detroit.
They were sent in by the Captain to learn
II anything was being done for the relief
of the boat.
The crew of the Hopkins. they say. Is
living on bread ard water. Their only food
on Christmas Day was a piece of bread a
slice of bacon and a baked potato for each
man. Since that they have had nothing
but bread.
The greater portion Of the trip of the
three sailors across the ice was made on
hands and knees. The boat has a crew of
twelve men. The coal supply. the mate
said. could not last twelve hours.
