BIG STRIKE is OFF.
FREIGHT MEN ADAM
DON THEIR FIGHT.
Handlers Accept Plan OF the Medi-
ators for Settling Grievances on an
Individual Basis = Ieamsters are
Blamed for Failure.

The strike of the Chicago freight nan
dlars came to an end at noon wednesday
AT q mass meeting the men Noleu 70 -

for reinstatement and on RECEIVING ~,
trv TO make such terms as thev coulo
with the officials The result OF the strike
was n bitter disappointment to the men
Thpv knew that the end had come Wheh
thev received authentic information lhat
their ranks were broken and that many
strikers. acting individually, had gone
back TO the freight yards and asked Tor
work.
President Curran opened the mass
meeting and made a long speech, III
which he bitterly assailed president
Young of the Transfers Union. he
took occasion also, without mentioning
any names, to say that some members OF
the freight handlers executive board MAD
played him false.
The whole blame for the failure Of the
strike is laid by the freight handlers at
tho door of the officers of the Teamsters'
Union. President Young's order to his
men to live up to their agreement ana
to haul freight of all kinds marked the
beginning of the end.
President Guaranteed his men that they
had no cause to lament the forming or
their union -3ssSince we organized only
short time ago." he said, I'VE have Sc
cured, through the strength that Hes III
unionism, two advances in wages. Inc
third time it appears we have faxed, but
through no fault of our own. In its IN
fancy, as our organization is, it has al
ready given 100000 additional to the
families Of the freight handlers. If YOU
vote to 90 back to work, go back with
the full determination to stick to your
union through good and through i'll.
The decision of the men to go back to
work in a body was largely the outcome
Of a meeting between President Curran
and the members of the State board of
arbitration held Tuesday night. Wednes-
day Chairman Job and the other mem
bers of the board saw the officials OF
the union again and told them frankly
that the men could not hope to secure
work unless they went back as the board
suggested and went back at once. The
State board had felt the pulse of the rail
road officials and knew that if the freight
handlers did not go back Wednesday they
could never go back
Chairman Job, Immediately following
the decision of the strikers to return to
work, communicated with the officials of
every railroad in Chicago, and asked per-
sonally that all the strikers be taken
back. The replies were in the main ia
vorable, the general managers saying
that they would provide for all that they
possibly could.
The State board of arbitration was
first called into the controversy, and af-
ter trying to effect settlement it was
side-tracked by the Chicago board of ar
bitration. This board failed to effect a
settlement, and the State organization
took hold once more.

DOG WINS IN ST. LOUIS COURT.
Animal Who Bit in Self Defense Saved
from Death.

Judge Sidener of the first district po-
lice court in st. Louis believes in the old
proverb that every dog has his day. The
parents of Willie Quinn had Abraham
Simon in court. His pet dog Jupiter had
bitten Willie and they wanted the dog
killed. 1t was shown that Willie was
busily engaged in tying an oyster can
filled with pebbles to Jupiter's tail, when
the dog bit him. Judge Sidener then rem
dered the following decision: ANY dog
has legal and undeniable right to bite
any man, woman or child who purposcly
and with malicious intent to disturb said
dogs peace and tranquility Of mind, does
attach or cause to be attached to said
dogs tail a tin can. A dog which bites
its prosecutor in such q case is acting
purely in self-defcnse."

CORN DEAL CLOSES.
The Price of July Option Falls Like
Leaden Plummet.

The July corn deal is over. The shorts,
Chicago dispatch says, settled with
Harris, Gates & Co. Tuesday for millions
and millions of bushels. Gates is believed
to have received close to so cents. The
market broke sharply when the settle
ments became known. 1t was at first be-
lieved that Gates had lost and let the
market get away from him.
With bounds and jumps the price of the
grain dropped down from 80 cents to
65A cents. When the news spread over
the board the panic grew worse and
prices continued to drop. Purchasers
Of corn in the country are left high and
dry. They lose both ways. The prices
they paid are far above what they will
now be able to get.
Gates, according to the Chicago dis
patch, has made $3,75O,OOO by the best
calculation that can be stated. He him
self is authority for the statement that
his holdings comprised 25,O00,OOO. Sam
uel Scotch, his manager, said that IS
cents was the highest figure in any of
the contracts made by the firm. With
the settling price at so cents there would
be profit of Is cents on the 25.OOO
600, or $3,75OOOO.
Gates never lost confidence when the
shorts were fighting him the hardest and
when men of millions entered the pit
against him he retained his easy bearing
and offered to bet $4,000 that July corn
would go to 80 cents Then. when no
one would take his wager, he sent the
price there just to show his power.
