New Proposals for Mediatioa In

Determined efforts are now being made

joint meeting between the employers and
the striking unions. II was the senti-
ment Of an who attepded the meeting
Wednesday that should the meeting be
arranged between the two opposing inter
ests a settlement satisfactory to both
sides could be realized.
Meantime Samuel Campers, president
Of the American Federation Of Labor,
has been summoned from New York to
come 10 Chicago and see if he cannot
accomplish something through mediation.
Mr.. Gompers will arrive Sunday morn
ing.

ers vas called at the instance OF the
Butchers and Grocers' Association be-
carse Of the difficulty and Inconvenience
which would be caused the members of
the association should tie strike spread
TO the ice wagon drivers and the meat
wagon drivers unions. 1t was
primarily a meeting of business men
whose interests are not directly affected
by the strike, and Of the representatives
of the unions which would be drawn
into the issue between the packers and
strikers, should the order declaring a
boycott against the meat markets that
are buying directly from the packers be
Endorsed by the teamsters' joint council.
When the packers were told Of the in

tee all of them declined to make any
ommeD on what, IL any, success might
be expected from the meeting.

leaders, and several aldermen, an inves-
tigation into the sanitary conditions Of
the various packing plants where strike
breakers are being housed WAS begun

WRECK IN CHICAGO.
A Mother n Three Children =
Killed.

A mother and her three little children
were killed and a number of other per-
sons seriously injured in a collision Tues
day night between g w~estbound Balti-
more and Ohio local passenger train
known as No. II and a Chicago and Erie
freight train at the Brighton Park rail
road crossing at Western Avenue and
West Thirty-iinth Street, Chicago. The
collision followed a frantic effort on the
part of the crossing fagman to change
the course of the freight train, to the
crew Of which be had given q signal that
all was clear for them to back over the
Baltimore and Ohio tracks. The passen-
ger, train, which was approaching rap
idly, was struck by the freight cars, and
two of the coaches were overturned.
One of the freight cars crashed through
the woodwork of one of the coaches
where the four who were killed were
seated. They were a family Of five, ami
c. c. Schwartz, the father, was the only
one who escaped with his life. Although
taken from the wreck unconscious and
suffering from broken bones, it is be-
heved his injuries will not prove fatal

ed instantly.
A rigid investigation will be made To
determine who was responsible for the
accident. Coroner John E. Traeger, as
soon as notified of the wreck, fastened
personally with q force of men to the
scene to determine where the blame lies.
The officials of the Chicago and Erie
and the Baltimore and Ohio roads also
sent agents to the scene, and declare that
they will see to it that the guilty are
punished.
Late Tuesday night the police arrested
Harry Moore, brakeman, and Benjamin
+. Waller, conductor of the freight
train that caused the disaster. Waller,
in his statement to the police, declared
that the signal man in an adjoining tow
er was to blame for the accident, as he,
according to Waller, gave the signal for
the freight to come ahead, giving it the
right of way. After it had started he
reversed the signal, but then it was too
late to prevent the collision.
Besides Moore and Waller, six other
railroad men were taken into custody.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS or THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENSED FORM.
Mo Contest on Mccormick LUCKY
No. 1 Files on His Rosebud Claim
Selects Lands Near Herrick-
Protest Against G. Wainwright.

William Mccormick, who drew num-
Der 1, Monday, the opening day for the
6ling at Bonesteel, filed as the winner OK
the first prize in the great Rosebud lou
terry. The fling was made without con-
test. :,
Mr.. Mccormick filed on a piece OF land
inst north Of the edge of the first or the
government townsites from BoDestee,
which will be known as Herrick. Eight
of the first ten fled in the same vicinity.
Most of the filings were made within q
close radius of Bonesteel. Four out or
the first 100 failed to file.
There was one protest, that aganst
George Wainwright, of Oklahoma. IL Is
claimed his soldiers application was
made out in blank.
United States Marshal Kennedy, with
Deputies Rrostrom and Geo. G. Hunt, IN
spectors of the land Office, are guarding
the government funds.
The fun 100 claimants were received
into the Office at once and handled expe-
ditiously.
Two tented and magic cities, Herrick
and Burke, the one now containing l,ZUo
people and the other fewer, have sprung
up on the Rosebud reservation. The birth
OF the two cities occurred to the accom-
paniment of considerable fighting and
promiscuous shooting, which, with the
fortunate outcome that has character
lied all the shooting that has occurred
hear Bopesteel, resulted in harm to no
one. The only serious results are a few
black eyes and d~isfgured countenances.
and the promise Of almost innumerable
contests involving the town lots in the
new government sites.
Herrick, the first of the new towns
outside of Bonesteel, is the one formerly
called Gregory, but which it was decided
to call Herrick, after Gov. Herrick. of
Ohio. This proved the storm center of
interest, and will probably be the leader
Of the new towns.
The trouble arose over the uncertainty
regarding the conditions of filing. Soon
ers occupied every available space of
ground. raising tents and sleeping ON
their newly staked premises. They be-
gan to arrive on the ground Saturday
night and Sunday, and when 8 O'Clock
Monday morning came all the good lots
were taken. Then the regulars attempt
ed to drive out the sooners, with result
ing trouble, and the final determination
to contest at Burke. The contest was
between two factions, one headed by G.
J.. Conner, who admitted members into
his organization at 81 per, and George
Jeffers, whose members shook their fin
gers scornfully at the organization. The
LETTERS faction sailed in on the ground
Sunday night and two towns are now
completed on the site.
