ting Strike.

Chicago, June S.-A conference be-
tween a committee representing the
transfers union and committee rep
resenting the employers failed utterly
to settle the strike Wednesday, anG
peace now seems further off than ever
The teamsters' committee was ap,

Tuesday night, with power to act, and
when the conference began everything
indicated that by night a settlement
would be effected.

split were the question of maintaining
police guards on the wagons manned by
nonunion men as soon as the strike
should be declared off and the questions
growing out of the attitude of the ex.
press companies, the danger of in,
creased hostilities and extension of the
fight is now renewed.

partly by his absence from Norway
had suspended his rights and duties as
king of Norway. One of the causes
for the desire in Sweden and Norway
for separate consular systems was the
fact that Sweden is protectionist and
Norway is for free trade, and also be-
cause of Norway's more extensive sea
trade and other Emergencies of COM
mercial interests.

it is said, are being drilled and armed
