airy next, as the ceremony Will be con-
Quoted under the auspices of the Ma

As the address of the Governor will
be delivered the day before the inaug-
uration of his successor, Governor

may confront San Francisco.
AT the meeting of the hackmen it
was decided that hacks will be fur
nished for funerals, but in no case will
a union member mount a hearse or
handle any article belonging to the
undertakers; and those hacks which
are to be provided for funerals are to
be those only which belong to union
members. The retaliatory action OF
the hackmen BODIES inconvenience to
the public where the burial of the dead
is concerned.
The question of permitting members
of the union to return to work under
stated conditions was discussed for
some time. 1t was finally decided that
such permission would not be granted
unless the employer in question should
concede all the terms of the hackmen s
schedule. A special committee was ap-
pointed to take charge of the fight and
represent the union in all matters at
issue. with the understanding that it is
powerleSs to grant or accept conceS-
sions without the consent of the union.
The members voted to advise the
public that the present issue is neither
a strike nor a boycott, but q lockout,
forced upon them by their employers
because of their demand for better
wage. The demands of the union are
for 81 so a day for all members regu-
larly or steadily engaged or employed.
Ten hours in twelve to constitute a
day, and that they be compensated at
the rate of 25 cents an hour or any
fraction thereof for all overtime: that
no member of Hackmens Union, Local
224, furnish his uniform or whip at his
own expense; that all extra drivers
when engaged for one day shall receive
the sum of So, days work to consti-
tute the same as appears above and
the same conditions for overtime; that
all extra drivers receive 81 so for driv-
ing all inside funerals, and for all out
side funerals, including wait at train
or electric car, drivers shall receive 81
that all extra drivers when engaged to
drive short hauls shall receive the sum
of 81 so. and that the service of the
driver is at the disposal of the employ
er for the space of five hours for the
performance of the work herein named.
STABLEMEN ALSO FIRM.
The Stable and Carriage Owners
Association also held a meeting last
night and were equally firm in their
determination not to yield to the de-
mands of the Hackmen's Union. The
stablemen declare that the fight could
not have come in a time more propi-
tious for them, they asserting that this
is the dull season for carriage work,
inasmuch as the families which are
the most regular patrons of their We
hicles are now hieing themselves to the
country. Many of the members of the
association will turn their horses out
to pasture pending a settlement of the

That the controversy between the
United Railroads and the Carmen
Union is nearing a crisis was evidenced
yesterday in a statement given out by
the latter concerning the justice OF
the stand taken by the carmen, in
which, as in former statements, IL is
averred that the United Railroads is
seeking to checkmate the union by in
sisting on concessions at variance with
the agreements of the arbltrauon
boards findings, and that the union
purposes TO press its demands
Previous TO the issuance OF the
statement, which comprises some SOOO
words and which reviews the street
car situation from the time OF tne
award to the present, there was con-
ference at the headquarters OF the ar IA.
mems Union between Presioent Cor
nelius and w. D. Mahon of Detroit
president Of the Amalgamated Assocla-
ton OF Street and Electric Railway
Employees. The situation was reviewed
in detail, but it was not stated what
action, If any OF a definite nature, was
decided upon.
There is to be a conference this
morning at the offices of the United
Railroads between President Cornelius
and Secretary J. H. Bowling OF the
Garments Union and the representa-
tives Of the United Railroads, at which
the union men will ask the company
10 concede the demands affecting the
rights Of individual members Of the
union employed by the United Rail-
roads. as promulgated by the Car
mems Union some time ago. The re-
vivaI of this issue as one of the main
contentious of the carmen, and its en-
phatic inclusion in the statement
given out yesterday as one of the lead
ing grievances, is regarded as signifi-
cant in view of the determined atti-
tude Of the company on the other con-
cessions demanded by its employees.
WILL CONFER TO-DAY.
At the offices of the United Rail-
roads it was stated that there was no
change in the situation so far as the
company was concerned, and that the
stand taken by that corporation was
unalterable Reticence and optimism
pervaded the offices of the COM
pany. where It was intimated that
an amicable settlement would un-
doubtedly be the outcome of the sit
uation. despite the fact that the COM
pany does not intend making conces-
sions. To this view the officials of the
union. however. were not inclined.
The report of concessions to be made
by the union, which emanated from
the offices of the United Railroads,
was not confirmed by the carmen.
1t is understood, however. that the
conference to-day may deal with
