CHICAGO STRIKE
ALMOST SETTLED
Union Button Will Still be Dis
played by Teamsters
EMPLOYERS GIVE IN
AND WITHDRAW DEMAND FOR
ITS ELlMlNATioN--LAST OBJ
sTAcLE HAS BEEN RE-
MOVED.

Chicago. June 23-All obstacles
which have prevented the ending of
the teamsters' strike appear to have
been eliminated and indications to-
night are that unless something un-
foreeeen develops. hostilities will
cease within a short time.
At the meeting today between a
committee representing the strikers
and J. V. Farwell for the Employers
association the question of conspicu
Gus display of the union button, which
has been opposed by employers dur
ing peace negotiations, was settled.
This question Is TO be left to employ
ers individually the association agree
ing to withdraw its demand for elm
ination OF the union emblem
AS the button proposition has been
the chief stumbling block during the
latest efforts to reach a peaceable set
Element OF the difficulty, it is the gen
eral belief that the trouble is drawing
to clcse as all other terms of the
settlement made by the employer:
have been accepted by the strikers
representatives. The matter will nov
go before the unions general commit
tee, then be referred to referendum
This vote will undoubtedly favor sci
tlement.

PLANS OF LOCAL ENGi-
NEERs WERE SUB

Last night NEE ing OF the
Board Of Local Improvement OF the
city council was held and the matter
of the proposed new sewerage system
was taken up. Some months ago the
city council employed Engineers VIII
bur T,istlewood and George f.
Dewey to make surveys and an esti-
mate Of the cost of a new outlet sewer,
They completed their work several
weeks ago but their report and the
protiles were not acted upon until last
night.
In view of the fact that under the
new improvement law which goes into
effect on the 1st OF July, several
streets win probably be paved. Mayor
Parsons very timely decided that the
first steps toward improvements
should be TO settle the sewerage sys-
TEN, which at present, 10 say the least,
Is very Incomplete, called he meeting
last night and urged that some ac.
tion be taken
The plans OF the engineers were
carefully gone over and 1t was decided
that before making any report 70 the
council, 10 secure the advice OF an
expert san tary engineer and the loca
engineers were instructed to lind ou'
what the serv ces would cost the city
The plans and estimate of the loca
engineers were matie for sewer =
run down Commercial avenue. They
made two plans. One is to run a rou
and half foot brick sewer from
Thirty-fourth to Twenty-eighth and
six foot sewer for the balance OF lh'
distance, locating pumping station
at the lower end and SO that the sew
erage win empty into the Ohio beloy
the Halliday elevator, The estimates
cost of this plan Is sS0,o00
The other plan Is the same as tn
above except to have the outlet q
Tenth street, and making a four an
half foot sewer from Second stree
10 Tenth street, and doing away wit
tho lower pumping station. This wi
make saving of about $4,000 in tn
cost, but will empty the seweras
in the Ohio right in front OF the cit
The engineers found that nearly a
of the present sewerage system ca
be ut lized and made to drain into tn
proposed outlet sewer.
The members of the conmitt'
agreed that the latter plan with Il
outlet at Tenth street would be Il
most acceptable. as all the sewe
south of Tenth street drain into q
Tenth street sewer.

but part Of this gain was lost Friday,
while yeals gained a quarter. The
