secretary of state is another evidence
that the president does not appreciate
the gravity of Mr.. Loomis' offense

The New York Herald is exnltant
because American diplomacy In the

with Wall street." The Herald adds:
There is a greater game ahead. Mr..
Morgan must feel sure that his interests
will be safeguarded with former bust

is the program of those who believe that
the government can properly be made

Being Planned for July 5th

Chicago, May 29.-That the labor

meeting of the Chicago Federation of
Labor during the day when arrange
ments were made for holding a strike
demonstration on July 5. On this date
a monster parade Of the strikers and
the affiliated unions will take place.
At the days meeting each union af-
fliated with the central body was rep
resented by three delegates. The
strike situation was discussed in all
Its details and the sentiment Of the
meeting was that the teamsters should
continue the fight until the seven x
press companies offered some sort of
q compromise. The officials of the ex-
press companies are still obdurate in
their declaration that no concessions
need be looked for from their side, so
the matter of settlement through this
channel seems as remote as v
With owe 1000 police and deputy

are principally lumbermen and river
drivers and will be assigned to the

$50 drivers already engaged by the
lumbermen this additional force will
put the lumbermen in fairly good
