CHICAGO STRIKE is EnDED.
Big Tie-Up Co1lapses and Strikers Seel
Their Old Jobs.

Big cup CollapSes ana Strikers Seek
Their Old Jobs.
The strike of the Chicago Transfers
was declared off Thursday, closing one
of the most important chapters in the
city's industrial history. The end was
a stampede on the part of the striking
drivers to get back to their jobs. Lack
of funds, general dissatisfaction with
the leaders, desertions by hundreds,
led to the collapse
Headed by the lumber teamsters,
who came to an understanding with
their employers, the express drivers
and the department store drivers fell
into line, the three unions that COM
posed the fighting force of the labor
side of the battle throwing up the con-
test. The effect was to swing the other
unions around, and the troubles were
given their quietus. The strike fever
had abated.
The coup de grace was administered
late at night by the teamsters' JOINT
council itself, which declared tho strike
off and ordered the men back to work
Strike leaders admitted utter defeat
and advised the 5000 men who remain
ed loyal to the union to apply to their
old employers for work.
The revelations of the one hundred
and five days in which the strike ran
from start to finish are prophesied by
prominent citizens connected with the
difficulties to mark the dawn Of a bet
ter understanding between the employ
ers and the unions and to mean much
to Chicago commercially. The fact that
the strike was won and the transfers
were forced to seek their old places
without condition is expected to act as
an impetus to business. On the labor
side the strike is expected to he pro-
life in good results. The exposures
made by the grand jury of corruption
among the leaders have already had
their effect, and are expected to place
uniOnism on safer and more conserv-
alive plane. Sympathetic strikes, it is
predicted, will no longer be q fad.
Although unionism of the legitimate
sort does not suffer by the abandon
ment of the strike, the close of labor
hostilities is considered a death blow
at INSCRIPTIONS leaders.

China Facing Financial Crisis.

A dispatch from Shanghai says: 1t is
stated here that a serious financial crisis
may develop, owing to the present condi-
ton of the markets. Several of the best
known firms operating in the city are said
to be affected. The situation is due to the
fact that the markets have been glutted
with imports sent here for sale to Russians
and Japanese, while neither beligerent has
shown any inclination to purchase the
goods, and they have been left on the hands
of the merchants

After an exhaustive Investigation
covering period of several months,
Joseph L. Bristow, special Panama
railroad commissioner, has submitted
to the secretary Of wa- his report on
trade conditions as affected by the
isthmian railway and its connections

The commissioner finds there is good
ground for the complaints concerning
the restrictions Of commerce that were
made possible by the monopolistic
combination between the railroad COM
parry and steamship companies under
the domination of the transcontinental
railroad lines prior to the taking overof
the Panama property by the United

Curious Game of Chance.

Here is a curious game, and one
which is very popular in India-so
popular, indeed, and so ruinous in it's
results that the British Government is
now taking steps to prohibit it.
1t is known as "barsat ka satta," and
it consists in wagering every morning
as to the quantity of rain which will
fall. For this purpose most of the
houses have reservoirs, into which the
rain falls until it reaches certain
height, when it is carried off through
pipe. The more heavy the fall of rain
the more speedily are the reserY rs
filled, and the game is always won by
those bettors who guess the exact
time when the water will begin to
overflow. This may not seem very ex-
hilarating pastime to Americans, but
in India the natives are passionately
fond of it, and they gamble so feck-
lessly while playing it that many fami-
lies have been ruined thereby.-Ex.

Sergeant Varrell and Sergeant
Chones wanted at orderly room at
once"
Picture, if you can, the dismay on
the faces of the two sergeants. For q
moment they lay as if paralyzed, so
ttunderstruck were they. Then they
jumped up and dressed rapidly.
Somebody must have seen us last
night" said Chones.
"Or else they came to the room after
we were gone, and found that we were
not here"
"Great guns! I wish we hadn't gone.
This on top of the other charge will
break me sure" moaned Chones.
swell, you'll have my company for
certainty. I'm a nice escort for q
prisoner, I am. Whatll we sayp"
"Deny the whole thing. Say we
slept in another room. But if they
saw US on the street it's all off"
just then the regimental orderly SER s
geant appeared at the door.
"Hurry up you fellows, the G. o. is
waiting" he said.
"All right. I'm ready. Come on
Vary" said Chones, and the trio
marched down to the orderly rooms.
"My head feels like a washtub," said
Varrell in whisper, as they waited
outside.
"Mine is worse than that" replied
Chones.
The sergeant major appeared, and
after reprimanding them for taking
so long to come, marched them into
the colonel's Office. Both men felt they
we're goners, and had visions of
parade of all the N. G. O's on the
square, where, after long papers had
been read, they would have the stripes
cut from their arms by sthe drum
major. And they knew they would
not get off lightly, if indeed, a term of
imprisonment were not added. For
the offense was fragrant one.
The colonel sat behind his desk, look
ing over some papers, and at the en-
trance of the prisoner and escort, he
looked up, and spoke briefly thus:
Sergeant Chones, the summary of
evidence, taken at your preliminary
hearing, has been returned from
Ottawa by the general officer COM
manding, and he orders your release
on the ground of lack of evidence to
convict. Released and returned to
duty"
"They were still dazed when the
sergeant major marched them out, and
they did not regain their speech until
the other sergeants crowded around to-
shake Chones by the hand, at the hap
py outcome of his arrest.
"They don't know anything about
last night" whispered Varrell. "Oh,
joy"
"Shut up" said Chones. "Come on
to the mess you fellows. It's my
treat" L. r j.

Total excessive Sundays. &c days
amounting to overpayment OF $3.50.
The following are Mr.. Trent's fig
ures for the number OF days in half
months:
Iwilei dump, 73 divided equal 1sA
Kalia dump, Al divided by equal
2Oh.
Excavator tenders, LA divided by s
equal Is.
Garbage wagons, $50 divided by 81
equal is 1921. (Not exactly his fig
ures.)
1t follows. OF course, that the fig
ures should DO l5ls In the last column.
And right here the surplus Sundays
complicate matters. The only basis
for arriving at true results is to figure
on the actual number of days worked.
There were 25 actual working days In
July and one half-month working days
would therefore be l2h.
Iwllei dump, SO days. necessary re-
duction 3 days; total so divided by four
equal 12M.
Kalia dump. 81 days; necessary re-
duction days. total 20 divided by 2
equal 12k.
Excavator tenders, 1O2 days; neces-
sary reduction 2 days; total 100 divided
by 8 equal 12h.
Garbage wagons, 2SS days; neces-
sary reduction 25h days; total, 2s2h
divided nv q ANAL 1911
To harmonize Mr.. Trent's figures
with the above subtract above deduc-
lions and also excess OF Sundays. thus:
Iwilei dump-73 less 3 less s equal
so; so divided by 4 equal 1914.
Kalia dump--il less 6 less equal 81;
81 divided by 2 equal 1914.
Excavator tsnders-l44 less less 10
equal 1874; 124 divided by s equal 1914
Garbage wagons-3s6 less 251s less
35 equal 325h; 325h divided by q
equal 15h.
