tion at Caracas rejecting upon the Of
hcial integrity OF his predecessor there.
Francis B. Loonais. and reply to Mr..
Loomis' charge that he inspired the
publication of newspaper article re-
lating these stories.
Mr. Bowen absolutely denies any re-
sponsibility for the publication of the
stories from Caracas rejecting upon the
Integrity Of Assistant Secretary OF State
Loomis while he was minister at that
capital. This raises the direct issue of
veracity between himself and Mr..
Loonis. the latter having directly
charged that Mr.. Bowen caused the pub
lication of the stories in a New York
newspaper and with having circulated
the stories by telling them TO various
Americans who visited Caracas.
Says He Made No Charges.
Mr.. Bowen,s statement, 1t is under
stood, expressly diselaims that he has
made any charges against Mr. Loomis.

Mr.. Bowen called the attention of Sec
retary Taft to the fac5 that he had for
warded certain papers bearing on this
subject from Caracas to the State De-
partment during the last few months.

handed them to Mr.. Bowen this morn

Street Troubles May Resume.
At police headquarters this morning
a feeling was expressed that active
trouble on the streets would resume to-
day, and in consequence provision for
200 additional officers was made to guard
an increased number OF wagons to be
sent out by the employers.
In the rank and file of patrolmen
there WIS expressed the opinion that
unless Il Fiolent change in the situation
soon came the State militia would be in
Chicago shortly.
In the hope Of effectfng a conclusion
of the Chicago strike as fayorabIy as
possible TO the interests Of organized
labor, President Samuel GomDers of
the American Federation of Labor, left
for Chicago last evening.
Before leaving, Mr.. Gompers said that

This promise was qualified. however,

CHICAGO, May l6.-This day daWned
with strike clouds hanging more threat
eningly over Chicago than at almost
any time since the Transfers Union
declared q boycott against Montgomery
Ward & Co.
The teamsters' joint council adjourned
with the announcement by President
Shea, Of the international Brotherhood
of Teamsters, that union men will
stand pat" The council had been called
a second tine to consider the llItimatum
issued by the team owners associa-
ton that their drivers must deliver
goods TO strike bound Trims.
Earlier IN the day the teaT1 owners had
postponed action, but the Lunbermen' )
Association, sitting al the same time as
the stand pat" team drivers, adopted
resolutions giving the drivers until
Thursday to answer the question why
contracts with the employers should not
be fulfilled The Lun1bermen employ
about 5000 teamsters.
City Councils Peace Move.
A peace commission of five aldermen
will seek to end the labor strife today
BY q vote of IS tU 20 last night the city
council adopted resolution creating a
special committee TO wait upon the
leaders of both sides of the controversy
for the purpose of urging that the strike
differences be submitted to some tribu-
nal for arbitration.
TO show that. osters:bly at least they
were peacefully inclined" the team
sters responded to Mayor Dunnes re-
quest for meeting with the new COM
mission created by the city council.
The strikers committee of fifteen will
meet the mayors committee in the city
hall. The teamsters said they were
anxious tc avoid a spread of the strike
ard would go as far as the employers
70 confine the struggle within its pres
ent limits.
Besides turning down the team own
ers the teamsters' council also scorned
the demands of the Iiverymen's Asso-
