Final overtures for the settlement
of the strike were made at meetings
of the two unions last night. At the
instigation of the members of the Chi

handlers agreed to send committees to
all the railroads today. This agree

announced to the union men that eight
of the largest railroads entering Chi
cago had agreed to pay 1711 cents an
hour to truckers, and pay for over
time and to do away with the demand
for probationary period of service.

Lafayette, Ind, July 15.-About a
month ago William Haines, an inmate
of the State Soldiers Home, filed a
affidavit against Frank NJ. Thrift, a
hospital attendant, charging him with
assault and battery. The complaint
was made before Justice of the Peace
Shaw, and Thrift was arrested by a
constable from Shaw's office. Subse-
quently the complaint was withdrawn
and the affair was investigated by
Commandant Stormont, of the home,
who made full report of the testi-
mony to the board of directors.
Haines Was Late at Supper.
The testimony at the investigation
shows that Haines for some reason
was late at supper call and was in q
part of the room where he should not

Thrift, according to his own evidence,
took Haines by the shoulders and
pushed him along to his room, and
finally, when Haines resisted him,
threw him on the bed, but did not hurt
him. Haines declared that Thrift
threw him on the bed after Thrift had
trounced him about the room and had
struck his head against the bedsuead
and injured him.
Thrift Is an Inmate Also. SzG
Witnesses testified that Thrift
caught Haines by the shoulders and
pushed him along, and because he did
/ not move fast enough continually
"churned' him along with his knee
There was considerable dispute i'm the
testimony as TO whether Thrift used
more force than was necessary in han
ding HaineS. COmmandant Stormont
relieved Thrift from duty as d hospi-
tai attendant. and has him employed

ANTAGONIsTIC STATEMENTS
What the Railway Managers Say and What
the Union Replies.

the MON heplies-
The lilrOad managers have issued
a state nent which says: The rail
roads decreased the wages of all their
freight handlers in April last. June
a further increase in wages to all
freight handlers was made by all rail-
roads, effective from July l. July Z
the men were called out without hav-
ing requested conferences with their
employers.
1T would seem from information
obtained from reliable sources that the
present situation is as follows: All the
freight houses are open and equipped
for the handling of the regular busi-
ness.
1T is reported that the teamsters
are about TO strike, and that many of
them have already declined to haul
freight to and from the railroad sta
tiOns. In this they are violating an
agreement which they made recently
with the merchants. with which agree
ment the railroads have no connection
At the time that agreement was en-
tered into a board of arbitration was
formed as between the teamsters and
the merchants for the purpose of set
ting any differences that might arise
under their agreement The chief con-
troversy that seems to exist at the
present time is whether or not the
teamsters will carry out their agree
ment with the merchants. The rail-
roads are ready to receive and able to
handle freight, and in doing that are
performing their full duty to the pub
lie as common carriers"
In response President Curran issued
a statement which declares the strike
still on. and says: I'VE have done our
duty these last two days. no matter
what may be said regarding our
