GIVE UP THE FIGHT AND REPORT
FOR DUTY BUT ARE NOT GIVEN
EMPLOYMENT.
HANDLING THE LUMBER
CAUSE OF THE HITCH
Hope to Settle the Teamsters Troubles
Now and to Reopen the Yards Within
Few Days-Situation Is Practically
as II Has Been for Some Weeks.

Bright and early this morning at the
entrance to every lumber yard in the city,
crowd of men assembled to resume work
after the long strike.
Shortly after the usual time, they all
walked back again to their homes. There
was no work, they were informed, and so
the shut-out is still on. Not a lumber
yard i'll the city is selling stick of lum-
Der today.
1t was reported on the streets Saturday
that the trouble was nearing an end and
that the men were willing to return at the
old scale.
Sunday morning the carpenters, mill
workers and workingmen held a joint
meeting and decided to return to work at
the old scale, stating that as they were
aware the shut down was throwing 400 or
500 carpenters out of work and putting
stop to all building operations, they were
willing to give up their demands and re-
sumo work at the old scale; which was S.
for carpenters, So for woodworkers and S,
for laborers, all to work a Io-hour day.
New Question Involved.
AS soon as this understanding was ar
rived at, it was submitted to some of the
lumber dealers and it was believed that
they had agreed to take the men back to
work OH condition that they would be al
lowed to let the hauling of the lumber to
contractors. Then the tcamsters con-
ceded the 10 hours but asked $3.50 for a
days work.
Dealers, however, would not listen to
the demands of the teamsters or compro-
mise at the terms offered by them
AS all the lumber dealers could not be
got together yesterday. the matter could
not be considered final and as soon as a
regular meeting of the managers of the
lumber yards was had (held this mornine)
it was found that the proposed settlement
would entail conditions that would tend
to make the hauling Of the lumber by con-
tract an inconvenient one.
After the meeting the following circular
was issued for the benefit of the public by
the lumber dealers:
"A hitch has occurred in the negota-
tions for the re-opening of the lumber
yards. 1t is understood that some diff
Guilty has arisen in regard to handling the
lumber by contract and until this matter
can be adjusted the yards will remain
closed"
May Soon Be Settled
1t is probable, however, that the diff
Guilty will not last long. 1t is estimated
that there are not less than 1000 men out
Of employment.
1t is understood that the teamsters are
themselves willing to return at the old
scale, but that the other teamsters, who
succeeded in gaining their point and who
are members of the union, will not allow
1t as their employers would then be in
position to go back to the old SCALE
AS there are not 20 teamsters employed
altogether by the lumber companies it is
probable that they will find some way of
arranging the matter before many days.

Chairman w. ID. Clark of the board OF
county commissioners was asked TODAY
when the letter instructing the county at
torney to begin prosecuting county and
state license delinquents would be delivered
to Mr.. Brcen. He replied:
we don't want to take snap Judgment
on anyone. Nor do we wish to impose any
hardship ip by acting too hastily, but we will
transmit the letter to Mr.. Brecn in a day
or so." '
Then Mr. Clark stated that manv of the
people and firms on the list of delinauents
were coming in with their license money.
and that day or SO of grace would be
granted in order that none might COM
plain that he had not had sufficient warn
ing.
Pay! Pay! Pay!
But we're after them and we will make
them pay if all the officers who have
the work of making the collections and the
work OF enforcing them by law do their
duty said Mr. Clark.
Mr. Clark expressed the opinion that the
publicity given his letter of instructions to
County Attorney Breen had already done a
great deal Of good and that the county of
silver Bow is already good deal Of
money ahead as a result.
Many people have criticised me for
making the letter public and letting the
papers have it," said Mr.. Clark: but I
think that was the proper method to pur-
sue--not for the purpose Of making the
people who did not pay their licenses noto-
rious. Not at all; but to enforce the col
lection of the licenses. We could not get
them collected otherwise, try as hard as
we might"
Object Of Publicity.
He explained then that the publication
of the intention of the commissioners to
prosecute and the names of the people
behind with their licenses was step
adopted by the commissioners because all
other plans to get the licenses collected
had failed.
1t is UNDERWOOD that the letter of in
structions will be handed over to Mr.. Breen
within day or SO, unless all the people
who owe back licenses come up to the CAP
tain's office and put down their money.
More licenses were paid at the county
treasurer's office today

NON-UNION MEN TAKE CHARGE OF
PUMPS AT THE COlLlERIES AND
THERE is NO TROUBLE.
[BY ASSOCIATED PRESS I


Hazleton, Pa, June 2.-There has been
an almost unanimous response in the
Hazleton district on the part of engin-
eers, firemen and pumpmen, to the strike
order of the executive board of the United
Mine Workers.
All the companies filled the places Of
strikers with non-union men brought here
from Philadelphia and their agents saw
the operations of pumps will not be in
terfered with.
Everything is quiet here at present
There will be a special meeting of the
Clerks Protective association tonight to
urge the local merchants to offer their
sympathy and support to the strikers
The merchants will also meet II s
stated that resolutions will be adopted con-
demning all business men who furnish
supplies to the special officers and non
union men hundreds of whom are stationed
at nearly every coliery
In order to avert trouble, the coal com.
panies will keep their special officers at
the mines until the strike is over.
The presence Of these men in the citv
especially at night, is liable to be the cause
OF an outbreak. Colliery clerks who re-
fused today to take charge of fires or
pumps were discharged.

London, June with the exception of
United Kingdom is holiday-making today
in honor of the conclusion of peace in
| South Africa.
The streets everywhere are thronged
with people who every now and then re-
lieve their overstrung nerves by AN out
burst Of hoarse cheering, or by braying
penny trumpets
The tone Of King Edwards message to
the people and the absence thcrefrom, of
any note Of exultation, seems, however, to
set good example, and while giving a
free vent to their own feelings, Great
Britain is showing small desire to crow
over their late enemies.
Flags and bunting are everywhere dis
played. Church bells are ringing, salutes
are being fired and there is general jubila-
ton on all sides
Crowds of surburbanites poured into
London at an early hour and converged
toward the usual centers, the Mansion
house, Royal Exchange, Trafalgar Square,
ETC., and quickly bedecked themselves with
tiny nags, buttons and badges.
At intervals, some enthusiast starts sing.
ing God Save the King" which is taken
up by the happy throngs and is heard for
miles through the neighboring streets
iron one end of the metropolis to the
other.
On Stock Exchange.
The earliest demonstrations on the stock
exchange, where the members arrived NJ
an early hour, commenced at the bdding
up of South African securities and con.
soils. On the official opening "T.od Save
the King was sung by all present and =
telegram was dispatched to Lord Kitcb.
ener as follows:
THE members of the London Stock
Exchange join with the rest Of the British
empire in rejoicing at the end of the
heightened campaign. Peace with honor
is fitting prelude to peaceful coronation
celebrations. Heartiest congratulations
to your lordship and brave boys"
The members of the stock cxcbarco

a singular fact is that the news of the

Many Of the provincial exchanges closed

Torchieht PROFESSIONS.
Great torchlight professions are being
arranged for tonight, and illuminations
which were in course OF preparation for
the coronation are being hurried on so
that they may be lit up tonight

did not attend the Verccging conference
will come in Of their own accord.
