Chicago, May ~. opinions vary as
to the number of strikers who will be
reinstated now that the teamsters'
strike is practically ended, but the
general belief is that 35 per cent is. a
conservatives figure. This estimate
comes largely from union sources. The
employers, maintaining that the En-
ployers' Teaming company was a per-
manent institute on, placed the percent
age of strikers who would get their
old places back at even a lower figure.
The Employers Teaming company will
employ no union men at all.
B The total number Of men on strike,
including O0sshelpers, is 3,772. From
the most trustworthy estimates 800
of these will get their places back in
the course ofstime, leaving 2,472 who
will have to seek other employment.
During the day committees of the
various local unions of teamsters Wis
tied the employers to make the best
terms possible regarding the rein
statement. A committee of coal team
sters called on the officers Of the Pea
body Coal company; another commit
tee visited the officials of the CONNER
cial Exchange, the organization OF
wholesale grocers; still another COM
mittee made a call upon the express
managers. The various department
store managers received committees
from the delivery wagon drivers.

FOLK SAYS THE COMING FEW WILL SEE
SETTLEMENT OF MANY GREAT PROBLEMS

Edward Rosewater made a strong
speech for President Roosevelt's pro-
posed railroad rate legislation. Pres1-
dent Roosevelt's policy Of the square
deal, Mr.. Rosewater said, is simply a
reiteration of the Confucian and bible
idea of the golden rule. Using this as
a basis, the speaker declared that rail
road managers showed little respect
for the rights of the people. Rebates,
he said, originated when railroad man,
ayers and directors became financially
interested in commercial enterprises
and began to extend to them privileges
which they denied others. The only
way to prevent it, he believed, was to
have national law to prevent a rail
road director from being engaged in
any business other than of managing
railroads.

closed yesterday, A, G. Frost of Chi

waukee Railway company, becomes
the sole owner of the franchise of the
Kenosha Electric Railway company.
The operation OF the local line
passed under the direction of Mr..
Frost in the afternoon Not change
was made in the management or the
policy except a formal notice that
printed transfers would be granted to
all passengers at once.
The deal was concluded by Mr.
Frost purchasing all the stocks and
bonds of the company which were for
merry held by Bion J. Arnold, the we'll
known electrical expert Of Chicago,
who built the line. The consideration
was $35O,000 Mr.. Frost stated that
ne would take immediate steps to con
meet the Kenosha line with the lines
of the Chicago & Milwaukee company
to the west Of the city, and that he
would open the through line to Chi
cago with a banquet on December 2.
Willis Russell, who has been the
superintendent for the Arnold com
pany in Kenosha, will remain in his
present position under the new man
agement. The purchase of the Ke-
nosha line by the men backing the
Chicago and Milwaukee will evidently
give that company monopoly on the
street railway business in Kenosha
The franchise extends for fifty years.

GOVERNMENT WILL FIGHT
PLEAS OF PACKERS.
STATEMENT BY MOODY
Attorney General Declares That
Claims of Indicted Meat Trust OF
ficials Are Observation-Disclosures
ton Secured by Garfield Was
Given Voluntarily.

Washington, Nov 17.--Attorney
General Moody makes a statement
with reference to the pleas in bar
filed by the defendants in the indlct-
ment against the beef packers pend
ing in the district court of Chicago
Eight Of the ten pleas filed by the
packers are based on the alleged con-
duct of Commissioner of Corporations
Garfield in making an investigation Of
the affairs of defendants in pursuance
of law and in special obedience to
resolutions of the house Of represen-
tatives requiring him to make such
investigation. One of these was that
Garfield promised them, for what they
did with respect to the giving Of tes-
timony and the production of docu
ments, that they should receive the
immunity provided by law; also thar
the testimony thus obtained from the
defendants was delivered to the de-
paltment of justice and to the district
attorney and by the latter used be-
fore the grand jury to obtain the in
dictment.
Attorney General Moody admits
that Garfield made the investigation
and that he secured from the defend
ants information and access to their
books, but that this was given volun-
tarily by the defendants. The attor
ney general says:
''The government denies in point
of fact that Garfield did compel the
several defendants to attend and tes
tify and produce documents before
him; or that he did subpoena any Of
the defendants to appear before him
and testify Or produce documentary
evidence; Or that he waived the oath
which he was authorized to require
of them; or that he promised them
any immunity whatever in the prem
Uses; or that any evidence obtained
from the defendants was delivered to
Or used by the department of justice
or the district attorney before the
grand jury which found the indict-
ment"
The attorney general asserts in
most positive terms that none of the
information obtained by Garfield was
used before the grand jury, and fur
Their says that he is informed by Gar
field and believes that at certain
stages of the investigation the de-
PENDANTS declined to give information
unless they were put in a position to
obtain immunity provided by the act
Of congress and required by the con-
stitution of the United States and
that when such instances occurred,
acting after a conference with the at
torney general, Garfield refrained
from pursuing the inquiry further and
made no other attempt to obtain the
information, Documentary or otherwise,
along these lines
The attorney general denies that
the government obtained any papers
from the defendants otherwise than
by subpoena. The government has
decided to resist all pleas in bar
urged by the packers, and has pre-
pared an answer which will be filed
early next week.
