FCrty-fve Transfers of the City
Strike for 81,
STREETS GETTING DUSTY.
strike Decided Upon Last Evening r.
Council Committees Reiuse 10 Raise
Wages from $3.50 20 "a Per Day.

AS a result Of the failure OF the city
to comply with the demands Of the
Transfers union for an increase in
wages from $3.50 TO $500 per day, As
teamsters employed by the city in the
sprinkling and street departments
have gone on a strike, and all but three
OF the sprinklers are idle.
The action was decided upon at
meeting Of the union in Federated
Trades hall last evening The petition
for an Increase was presented to the
council several weeks ago, and strong
arguments were advanced by the rep
resentatlyes Of the union for granting
the same, They contended that owing
to the advance in price Of horse feed
and the decided advance Of living ex-
penses, II was impossible 10 make ends
meet at the present wage Of $3.50 per
day.
The council committees that had the
matter in charge, decided at their
meeting on Thursday evening not to al
low the increase demanded, and the
Transfers met last evening and decid-
ed TO strike. The result is that only
five sprlnklers are running today and
the streets are already getting very
dry and dusty. Superintendent Hines
and Supervisor Condie recommended
that the wages be increased to 1915
per day, which would be acceptable to
the union but the committees refused
even that
The sprlnkling department Is affect
all but three OF its drivers are out
while in the street department only one
out of seven drivers has quit and Mr..
Condie stated this morning that his
place had already been filled. Superin-
tendent Hines is not so fortunate, how
ever, as he has not received a single
application for place on the sprink-
ling carts, The health department is
not affected at all by the strike as fhe
drivers of garbage wagons are receiv-
ing $3.50 per day with steady employ
ment, which was one OF the demands
OF the sprtnkliRg car drivers rejected
by the council
II Is quite probable that the commit
tee will meet this afternoon and recon
slider their action, and compromise the
matter so the sprinklers can be put on
again right away.

u,uys = Lenqth of Trial Uncertain - SRerfpS Office
Exceedingly Busy.

The district attorney, Mr.. Eichnor, Is
inclined to the belief that two Jurors
will be secured Monday, by reason Of
the fact that the open venire for 80 jur-
ors returnable Monday morning at 10
o'clock Is being served upon citizens In
the county out OF the city, men VINO
are not likely to be so familiar with the
case as are residents Of the city
Il think II is likely we will get the
two Jurors by Monday night" said Mr.
Eichnor. 1T Is question Of "a or AZ
hours"
what have you TO say as to the
length OF the trial?"
"As to the length Of the trial proper
have nothing to say now. 1t depends
greatly upon the time consumed by the
attorneys for the defense In cross-ex-
aiming our witnesses This much
can tell you, we shall take our time
and put our evidence In properly"
From the statement made by counsel
for the accused, the defense VIII put on
several witnesses, as It Is quite likely
that tie states witnesses Will be ex-
amined and cross-examined within two
weeks.
Assuming that the jury Is completed
by Tuesday night. and the taking OF
testimony begins on Wednesday morn
ing, II will require Is days actual time
to get In all the evidence and argu-
ments. This Is based upon the state
ments made by counsel for defense that
the case will not be given to the jury
before the Goth of June at the very ear
lest The probabilities are then. that
Il will take until the 26th or 9TH OF
next month to try the case
