PLAN 10 CHOSE AN ARBITER
Proposition Of the President of the
Chicago Janitors' Union.
bitration Board Service as
They DO Jury Duty.

Chicago. March 23.-Residents OF
Chicago will soon be lodging arbitra-
tiCn board service as they now evade
jury service, if the plan of the Office
building janitors is generally adopted.
The union is in desperate straits for
a fifth member of a board to adjust
the wage scale with employers. I'VE
will submit no new names said Pres
ident FieldstaCk of the union. The
managers have rejected those We have
proposed and We have justly declined
TO accept one of their suggestion. If
! receive an adverse reply TO my last
communication | am prepared to pro-
pose this plan: That the arbters
chosen by the managers and by the
union, meet in a downtown Office and
proceed together TO the street. The
first man they encounter after leaving
the building shall be elected as she
fifth member of the board Should the
first decline 70 serve, the next will be
tackled, and so on, until one agrees.
Acordingto the agreement between
the Managers association and the
union. any difference must be settled
by arbitration. The present issue is
over a demand by the janitors for an
increase in wages Of about s. a month.

INVESTIGATE BEEF TRUST
Department OF Commerce and Labor
to Make Investigation.
4, Heing Conducted in Accordance
with Resolution Passed BY the
House of Representatives.

Washington, March 23.-The depart
ment of commerce and labor, through
the bureau Of corporations, is making
an investigation into the operations OF
the so-called Beef trust" A part Of
the investigation is being conducted
in accordance with a resolution passed
by the house Of representatives re-
Gently. Prior to the adoption of the
resolution, the department, through
its regular channels, had collected
and tabulated certain information re-
garding the beef trust The resolution,
which was drafted by Representative
Martin, of South Dakota, requested the
department officials to ascertain, II
possible, the cause of tie difference
in price between beef on the hoof and
dressed beef.
1t was pointed out that western
stockmen believed that they we're be-
ing Disseminated against by the
trust, and that the markets of the
country were being manipulated to
their detriment.
Neither Secretary Cortelyou nor Com
missioner Garfield, of the bureau Of
corporations, will discuss the inyesd-
cation in any way 1t is made perfect
ly clear that this investigation, as well
as all others conducted by that depart
ment, will be made by the officials Of
the department themselves without as
sistanCe, that the department will not
stoop to detective work in the conduct
Of the inquiry and that the proceedings
will be devoid Of any spectacular fea-
lures. There will be no public hear
ings, and publicity will be avoided so
far as possible.
The pending investigation is being
conducted by Commissioner Garfield,
under the direction Of Secretary Cor
teIyou. Beyond that fact, practically
nothing is obtainable. Whether the re-
suits of the investigation are to be
made public at its conclusion will de-
pend entirely on President Roosevelt.
