Efforts to Settle Great
Chicago Strike.
Chicago's Mayor will Meet
Both Sides, Today.
Utmost Secrecy Observed in the Con-
ferences Held, Monday-Police Are
Stirred to Energetic Action on Ac-
count of Assaults.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-Mayor Harrison
will attempt, tomorrow, to settle the
stock yards strike. He will meet. to-
morrow morning, at 10 o'clock, the rep
resentatives of the strikers and hear
their side of the controversy and later
in the day he will meet the representa-
tives of the packers.
The numerous assaults that have
been taking place every day and night
in the neighborhood of the stock yards
have stirred the police to more energet-
ic action that they have taken hereto
fore. Inspector Hunt, who is in charge
of all the police stationed around the
yards, ordered. today, that all men
picketing the yards should be compelled
to move ON and should be arrested of
they declined to do so.
Chicago, Aug. 15.-What is believed
10 be tantamount to a reopening of
peace negotiations, emanating from the
packers, brought a session of the allied
trades conference board to a terminal
ton, Monday.
The board had been in session sever
al hours when messenger arrived
bearing word from the packers. A com-
hittee was quickly selected and left,
ostensibly to meet the packers. The ut
most secrecy was observed.
Strike leaders and the big packing
firms denied forcibly, Monday, that any
efforts had been made by either side to
bring about conferences looking to
peace in the stock yards. Despite these
positive denials suspicion that i'm
portant proposals are under considera-
tion was caused by an early secret
meeting, Monday, of the allied trades
conference board.
Pres. Donnelly of the Butcher Work
men. and George +. Golden of the Team
sters. have reached an open clash over
the collecting of funds to aid the men of
their respective organizations in the strike
against the packers. Matters reached an
acute stage, Monday. Donnelly declaring

'"rhe teamsters have plenty of money.
They don't need any contributions" said
he. But when We went to the mail car
riers we found Golden had been there
ahead of us
II don't care whether DonneIly objects
or not" said Golden. Il have volunteered
to aid the butchers and the postoffice
employees invited a committee from our
organization to see them. That is how it
came about"

the arrest of all picketers tagging around
the yard and dozen We're taken into
custody.

TO MAKE FIREPRooF MATERIAL
Philadelphia Chemist Uses Combina-
tion of Sulphur and Aluminium.


CHICAGO, January 21.-Joseph L. Ferrel
of Philadelphia threw handfuls Of excelsior
on a hot gas fire In the rooms Of the West
ern Society of Engineers. It smoked. but
1t did not blaze.
Then he placed pine shavings on top OF
the excelsior, pine splinters on top OF them
and piled pine shingles and Stats OF pine on
the supposedly infiammable material below
until he should have had a good-sixed bon
fire started. There were no flames, now
ever, except the blue ones from the gas.
Mr. Ferrel. who Is a chemist and the
holder of the Cresson gold medal. the high
est award given by the Franklin Institute
of Philadelphia for chemical discoveries,
had been asked to address the engineers on
the subject Of fireproof1ng wood and oom-
bustible fabrics. He told them It coule
be done cheaply. and then he made the
practical demonstration desired. To show
that theater scenery could be made as
impervious as wood the chemist held q
smoked little around the edges. there was
no flame.
SuIphate Of aluminium 10 the composition
Mr.. Ferrel used to flreproof the wood and
cotton His plan is to saturate the ma
terial under a pressure.
From a comm eroial viewpoint. MI Ferrei
said there was nothing in the way OF max
ing any theater safe from spreading names.
While suIphate of ammonia, which mas
been used, is expensive, sulphate OF aium

FEAR HIGHER RATES
OBJECTIONS TO SENATOR FRYE'S
PHILIPPINE SHIPPING BILL.
It is Claimed That It Would Restore
the Trade In Hemp to
London.

The Senate committee on Philippines gave
a hearing today on Senator Frye's bill ex-
tending the coastwise laws Of the United
States to the trade with the Philippine
Islands, so that all commerce between the
islands and the United States shall be car
ried by American vessels. The hearing was
ordered by Chairman Lodge on application
of Eastern cordage manufacturers. The
bill already had been reported favorably
by the Senate committees on commerce and
the Philippine Islands, but the protests
caused further consideration of the meas
ure.
A. P. Loring, president of the Plymouth
Cordage Company of Plymouth, Mass,
said American vessels should be given the
business between the United States and the
Philippine Islands as soon as they are pre-
pared to take care of it. He asked that the
time the bill takes effect be extended TO
April IL, 1909, when the Spanish shlps lose
their right, under the treaty with Spain, TO
engage in the Philippine trade on n par par
with American ships He thought by that
time competition between American vessels
would be sufficient to carry on the trace
without resulting In material advancement
Of freight rates. He said ne was wiliing tne
bill should pass if it did not result in an In
crease Of more than 25 per cent over the
present freight rates.
1t was brought out that the eastern cord
age manufacturers fear the passage OF the
bill would build up twine manufacturing
on the Pacific coast and wreck eastern IN
dustries 1t developed that the present
freight rates on Manila hemp amount to
about 46 cents per hundred pounds. and 1t
was estimated by manufacturers that the
freight rates. by the passage of the bill,
would be advanced fully 81 per hundred
pounds Under these conditions they rep
resented that the trade In hemp would re-
turn to London, where it centered prior to
the opening of Philippine ports.
Mr.. Loring and Edwin D. Metcalfe of
Auburn, N. Y, president Of the Columbian
Rope Company, both declared that they
did not believe there were enough American
vessels plying between Atlantic coast ports
and the Philippines to take care of the
cordage business.
G. F. Holmes treasurer and general man.
ager of the Plymouth Cordage Company,
explained the expectation of binding twine,
and declared that the duty on importations
does not in any way assist the manufac-
turers, as they export to the only countries
that could in any way enter into competi-
ton with them.
The Plymouth and Columbia cordage
told the committee they would agree to
enter into contracts with American ship
ping companies to pay 10 per cent increase
over the present freight rates paid to for
efgn ships for 100, 600 tons of Manila hemp
per year. The Plymouth company repre-
sentatives said that would be contribution
of $12, 500 a year from their company alone
as a subsidy to American ships
The hearing was adjourned at II o'clock
until pm. Mr. Lodge announced that the
shipping interests would then be heard.

tinued to gain headway. The bodies OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Beitel could be seen through
the flames and wreckage for an hour be-
fore they were recovered.
