tinued his statement before the Senate
interstate commerce commission today,
giving details of altered abuses of the
private car system. He presented some
of the features of the testimony brought

serted that Armour & Co In some cases
charged several railroads 81 so per ton of
freight for the ice usei ard paid the
roads a rebate of 81 per ton. Refriger-
ating charges and freight Charges, he

a member of the Pennsylvania state sem
ate and a fruit dealer. said that the Ar

contended, but the prices depended upon
supply and demand.

Regulate Use of Union Label.

The use of the "union LABEL or other
extraneous matter on the caution notice
latel of tobacco packages by manufac-
turers is declared by the actiong COM
missioner of internal revenue to be in
violation of regulations and will be hence
forth prohibited. This decision follows
closely upon a similar decision In relation
to cigar boxes. The commissioner holds
that the caution notice is distinctively a
government label, designed as protec-
tion against fraud and as a warning to
persons against violation of law In the
use of boxes or packages and failure to
destroy the stamp when the box or pack
age is emptied. He regards the imprinting
OF the union label as not in harmony with
tie spirit and intent of law. There is no
objection to placing the label on the pack
age or box. but 1t must not in any way
deface the caution notice.

STRIKE LIMITED
TO ONE MORE DAY
GomperS Spends Busy Day in
Chicago
C0NFERS With THE MAYOR
Little Opposition Is Made BY Strikers
to Delivery of Goods and condi-
tons Are Again Almost
Normal.
CONFERS With THE MAYOR

Chicago, May 17-It Is highly probable
that the next twenty-four hours will see
the end of the teamsters strike in Chi
cago. Although none of the labor leaders
will so acknowledge, it is generally un-
derstood tonight that the programme for
calling off the Atrilze has already been
arranged.
Tomorrow morning at o'clock a meet
ing will be held between the teamsters'
joint council and a committee represent
ing the teamowners association. 1t will be
made plain to the teamsters that the
business interests of the teamowners rem
der 1t imperative that the boyeotts be
lifted 1t will then be agreed by the
teamowners and teamsters' joint council
that the demand of the teamowners to
make deliveries to boycotted houses with
union drivers be submitted to arbitration.
This arbitration is to concern only the
teamowners association, and the team
sters'. the members of the employers
association being in no manner interested
in 1t in an official sense. Pending the
decision of this board of arbitration, the
strike is to be called off, and such mem
bers of the teamsters' union as are able
to work.
This will end the strike entirely with the
exception of the strike against Montgom-
cry Ward & Co. and as it is not expected
aggressive measures will be adopted by
either side. the trouble in this direction
will be allowed to die out gradually.
Gompers Has Busy Day
President Samuel Gompers of the Amer
lean Federation of labor was very active
today in all efforts made toward settling
the strike. He conferred with members
of the teamowners' association held con-
ferences with the teamsters', and had an
extended talk with Mayor Dunno. He re-
fused to state the results of his days
work. but expressed himself as being con-
fident that the strike would be adjusted
within a short time. The manner of the
settlement, he declined to discuss, but
said he was in favor of almost any plan
that would bring about an honorable ad-
justment.
Little if any opposition was made today
by the strikers and their friends to the
making of deliveries by non-union
drivers in fact the streets had almost
assumed their normal condition, and there
was little to indicate that a strike of
such large proportion was in progress.
The authorities have taken hold of the
strike fever in the public schools with
a firm hand, and this afternoon Judge
Mack of the Juvenile court. sentenced
one boy to be imprisoned at the John
Worthy school, which is a branch of the
house of correction. and two at the Pa
rental school. while a fourth was released
on probation.
Six warrants were sworn out today
for the parents of young strikers in the
Harrison school district, and they will
be arraigned in court tomorrow morn
ing.
