| When James Smith arrived at Care
St. Lazare after rather tiresome trip
from Cherbourg, where he had landed
from one Of the North German Lloyd
liners, he had just $50 francs in his
possession. He might have lived on
this money for two months until he
should have been able to get position
as valet for one Of his numerous Amer
ican countrymen in that city, but this
thought never entered his mind. He
was a man of far greater talents and
had his faee not been too familiar to
the officers of the great ocean grey
hound who warned his fellow passen-
gers against playing cards with him,
he would not now have been in this
embarrassing position AS it was, he
had, however. to make the best of II.
His suit-the only one he had, by the
way-was faultless and for few
francs he bought an elegant second

Chicago, August 4.--According to
the leaders OF the packing house strike
certain powerful influences have been
brought to bear on the packers and
peace negotiations will probably be re-
lnewed tomorrow afternoon between the
strikers and their former employees.
The announcement was made by
President suchardt OF the Federation
OF Labor and j. J. Keppler, business
agent OF the machinlsts' union. Neither
Mr.. schardt nor Mr.. Keppler would
reveal the identity OF the peacemak-
ers. but said that the men who are
about to intercede were not identified
with any OF the other peace efforts.
Il am not at liberty to give the
names OF the parties who are trying
10 bring about another conference

and conferred with several inhuen-
tial men by appointment and at the
solicitation Of disinterested parties.
Just what they are doing or how many
OF the packers these gentlemen saw.
I do not know. ! am convinced that
they are successful In measure from
the fact that was asked IL President
Donnelly would return to the city soon,
and IL conference for Friday after
noon could be arranged satisfactorily"
Mr.. Keppler said that President Dom
nelly would return to the city today
and the matter would be laid before
him.
Il believe the parties who are try
Ing to bring about another conference

men win meet the packers more than
half way"
Today Robert Collins and James
Moore OF Cleveland. who came here to
secure work In the packing houses,
were intercepted by pickets while on
their way to the stockyards. Collins
was badly beaten. robbed and left un-
conscious In the street where he was
found by milkman. Moore escaped
by running. Frank Polaski, who ad-
mlts that he was doing picket duty in
that locality, has been arrested on sus-
picion Of connection with the assault.

JUDGES DESIRE
BETTER INCOME
Lawyers Join Movement to
Press Measure Before
the Coming Legislature

With duties more arduous than those
that fall to the lot of the Judges in
the rural counties, and subjected to the
higher cost of a metropolitan living,
some of San Franciscos Superior
Judges have determined to make an
other effort to have the Legislature in
crease their salaries. Judge Graham
Is said to have inaugurated the pres
ent movement which was advanced on
Friday by meeting of legislators, law
yers and Judges in Judge Kerrfgan s
chambers. Among those present were:
representatives Anthony and Tread
well, Senator Lukens of Alameda, for
mer Judge Charles w. Slack, Attorneys
Matt Sullivan, ]. ]. Barrett, c.. 8.
Wheeler and w. S. Goodfellow.
Judge Murasky made a talk favoring
the increase, calling attention to the
outside counties. which are paying
$4,000 a year to the men on the bench,
while the Judges of San Francisco, Ala
media and Los Angeles counties are do
ing much more work and obliged to pay
more for their living.
1t was thought that the Superior
Judges should receive a little less than
the Supreme Judges, but that the raise
need not apply to all Of the counties.
The San Francisco members could start
the bill in the Legislature and other
counties that approved Of it could joln

salaries, but the effort was not guided

INTERNATIONAL STEEL
ooMBINAHON FORMED
British. French, German and Belgian
Makers Join With Trust
I'm America

LONDON, Dec. 17.-Confirming the
report of the formation of an interna-
tional steel rail- pool, a telegram from
Barrow says: THE agreement, which
was signed by all the representatives
of the British, French, German and
Belgian makers, extends for a period
of three years and is likely to include
American makers over certain zones.
1t was felt that the European agree
ment left the door open for severe
American competition, so overtures
were made, though not so much on the
question Of price as on the zones to be
allotted to the European and American
makers, respectively.
A scheme has been mapped out and
practically agreed on both by the
Continental combine and the United
States Steel Corporation. 1t is anticl-
pated that the new pool will come into
operation January 1, and under its
auspices it is expected that the price
of heavy rail sections, now IS shillings
per ton, will be lifted to 100 shillings.
The combined interests of all the large
steel mills of the four countries will
be settled in a London office, through
which all the business will pass and
from which orders will be allotted.
