Chicago Employers Vote for Finish
Fight against Union Label"

Chicago, Dec. 23.-The struggle between the
Liverymen's and Undertakers' Association and
the Livery Drivers Union. which for the last
six days has seriously interfered with the burial
of Chicago's dead. hearses carriages
have been available for funerals, is to be fight
to the finish. all efforts looking to a settlement
OF the strike by Cancellation having been aban-
doned tonight For the last two days the pros
poets for a settlement by arbitration seemed
bright, but to-day the contending parties got
further apart than ever. and all peace negotia-
lions have been declared off by the employers.
At a meeting tonight of the employers af-
fected by the strike il decided to open for
business tomorrow on the open shop" princi-
pie and employ union non-union men. Be
fore this decision reached arrangements
were made to petition one OF the Circuit Court
injunction restraining the strikers from in
terfering with the business of the employers.
The union officials predict trouble when the
open shop" plan is tried.
The employers tonight called on Police Chief
ONeill for further police protection against vio-
lence and picketing. He said: The police have
been ordered TO extend the utmost protection to
funerals. If you experience trouble. call up the
nearest police station. and If that does not help
call up
Chief ONeilI's plan is to have policemen ac-
company all funerals in Chicago
Members OF the association said tonight that
should the police fail to maintain order the
Sherln would be called upon, and should he fail
the Governor would be appealed to.

DENIED BY Mr.. STURGIS.
Commissioner Did Not Try to Get
BinnS to Haze Injunction Vacated.

Fire Coz missioner Sturgts denied the story
printed in The Tribune yesterday, that he had
asked Deputy Chief Binns 10 vacate the injunc-
ton which 3inns has secured to prevent the
making of an eligible list from which Mr.. Sturgis
can appoint new chief. The story was that the
Commissioner had sent for Binns from his head
quarters in Long Island City, and had a confer
ence. in which he tried TO persuade him to have
the injunction vacated. but that Binns refused.
II also said that a number of deputy chiefs who
gathered at the rooms of the Civil Service Com
mission Monday morning had gone there with
the understanding that arrangement had
been made between Binns and the Commission
er. and that they had waited a while. and then
been informed that the examination would not
take place. When asked as to the facts in the
case Commissioner Sturgis said:
The story is absolutely untrue in all essential
particulars Taking it seriatim. no effort what
ever made by Monday last or any
other day, to have Deputy Chief Binns cause
Such injunction. by the way, was obtained
against the Civil Service Commission, and not
against me. either individually or officially.

Civil Service Commission on Monday went there

WANTS LAND GIVEN CITY.
Then South Brooklyn Ferry Might
Be Profitable, Says Engineer.

Eugene Mclean. chief engineer Of the Finance De
partment yesterday submitted to the Sinking Fund
Commission his report on the proposed municipality
owned ferry between whitehaIl-st- and Thirty
ninth-st. South Brooklyn After considering the
several points for and against the proposition
Mr.. Mclean closes with the statement that mas
much as the persons who the land around
the terminal at South Brooklyn would benefit
much by the establishing of such a ferry, they
ought to present the land for the terminal to the
city before the city even starts the work. If they
did this the city might hope to build and proftaby
operate ferry. He thinks the city could then
make initial outlay to buy such Manhattan
terminal lands as are needed and 10 cover the cost
of the alterations and improvements Of both ter
minals; the city could operate two boats of large
vehicle carrying type. devoting all of their main
decks TO teams and wagons, maintaining a twenty
minute Roadway. In addition. the city could oper-
ate two passenger boats and use one of the two
old ones now used as a reserve boat and for sum
traffic. If this were done he thinks the ferry
could. after South Brooklyn developed. operate
profitable ferry. Mr.. Mclean adds:
But with outlay. of 100000 as minimum cost
Dock Commissioner Hawkes., I of the opinion
that the annual deficit to the city which would
accrue would be altogether unwarranted.
There was no discussion on the report and a set
of resolutions authorizing the Dock Commissioner
TO devise plan TO carry out the engineers plans
was read. The report suggests only two new boats
and makes provisions for the rate at which
the boats shall travel. Borough President Swan
strom protested.
President Winter of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
invited TO speak. said he believed If a competent
ferry service established with the surface
connections his company would establish. it would
soon be self-supporting and amply repay the city
for its outlay.
II am not going to vote anything beyond the
engineers report Mr.. Grout announced when the
speakers were through, until have some re-
port from the Dock Department"
Mayor Low whispered to the Controller and Mr..
Grout consented to vote for the report and reso-
lutiOns amended so to leave the number Of
boats to be operated to be determined after dis
cussion Of the report the Dock Department is 10
submit
Mr.. Fornes said he was not prepared to vote on
the question. and as unanimous was needed
no roll was called and the whole subject went over
to the next meeting OF the commission.

New high records were made again yesterday
in the local cotton market but the advance was
lost IN the late trading, final prices being not

prices ruled firm for a time but soon broke
sharply under heavy liquidation and bear SELL

dency at New-Orleans and expectations of a
speculative setback. The declining tendency
was soon checked, however. by renewal of ac-
tive bull support. and before the end Of the
first hour prices were again soaring above all
previous records. with July in New-Orleans sell
ing around l4Il cents and the entire list in the
local market showing feverish strength.
New-Orleans sent heavy buying orders as
prices went higher. and around noon January

1880. and July al 1881. these being net gains
