UNIONS WILL TIE UP
ALL TRANSPORTATION
Peace Fails Between Contending Fac
tions in Chicago and Labor War
Inevitable.

CHICAGO. Nov. 1s.-Peace in the city
railway struggle seemed nearer at hand
until late last night The striking en-
ployes conditionally abandoned their de-
mand for a closed shop, and Mayor Har-
rison and the aldermanic mediation
committee nourished a hope that cars
without police might be running within
two days.
President Mahon net the heads OF
Chicago's various carHnen's unions. and
the sentiment prevailed that II peace
should come out OF the city hall confer
ence it would mean practically a labor
surrender.
Accordingly 1t was given out at mid
night that rather than lose the strike
completely the unions will tie up the
transportation facilities of the entire
city. The company has effected plans
for opening up three more of its trunk
lines before the close of the week. The
general plan OF procedure drawn UP by
the police and the management provides
for the starting of the Indiana Avenue
electric cars today. the Halstead Street
tomorrow and the State Street cable
trains on Friday.
The use of police upon the cars of the
Chicago City Railway Company is justi-
ned by an. opinion given by Corporation
Counsel Tolman at the request of the
city council.

LIEUTENANT'S PENSION
FOR CHARLES R. VERNON
Raised to the Position for One Day.
His Record Is a Spot
less One.

Commissioner West has decided upon a
novel course in relation to the retire
ment OF Private Charles r. Vernon, of
the Police Department. Private Vernon
has been a member of the force forty
two years, has occupied every position
from private 10 acting superintendent
and was captain for a good many years.
His record is exemplary. and he was re-
duced at his own request. because old
age precluded active duty
Recently the Commissioners desired to
retire him on a lieutenant's pension Of
$75 per month. but the Comptroller of
the Treasury decided this could not be
done. and that q. policeman could only
be retired according TO his actual rank
Now Commissioner West proposes 70 re-
duce police lieutenant T. B. Amiss, of
the First precinct, 70 the rank of ser
geant, and Sergeant Williams to the
ranks. promote Private Charles r. Yer
non to be lieutenant, for one day, re-
tire him as lieutenant at S75 per month,
and then reappoint Lieutenant Amiss
and Sergeant Williams to their former
POSITIONS. Lieutenant Amiss' action is
voluntary.
A letter from Major Sylvester, accom-
panying the papers, gives the record Of
Private Vernon. which rs a most hon
Orable one.

YON STERNBURG THINKS
A TREATY IMPROBABLE
america Aware of Commercial
Strength and Unwilling to Com
promise With Germany"

BERLIN, Nov. 1s.-The "Chemnitzer
AIlegemeine Zeitung" prints an inter
view with Baron Speck Won Sternburg,
tho German ambassador 20 the United
States. in which he is quoted as saying
that a commercial treaty between Ger
many and America Is hardly probable,
"as America is aware OF her own
strength and is unwilling TO sGcrifice her
advantage by compromise"
The German government hf said, is
making every possible effort TO remove
the difficulties in the way of exporting
German products to America. but eau
ton is necessary. as the German export
trade might easily be injured instead of
aided
Asked whether he thought Their. was
any prospect of easier custom house
treatment for German goods in Ameri-
ca, the ambassador said he thought not,
inasmuch as GERMANY was not in po-
sitiOn 10 legally force such treatment by
retaliation. While complaining of Ger
man-AmeTican relations. Won Sternburg
assured the interviewer that President
Roosevelt and the American Government
had a strong desire to make permanent
the friendship between America and
Germany.
