talk up the matter with the teamsters joint council committee tonight Chicago, May 20.-On the shoulders of the managers of the express com panies. resident in New York city, rests the possible settlement of the team sters' strike in Chicago.
 After a night spent in conference the members of the Employers association and the executive committee of the h. ternational Brotherhood of Teamsters reached an agreement upon all points except the reinstatement of the drivers of the seven express companies. When these men went out they were warned by the Chicago managers of the ex- press companies that If they went on strike without grievances of their own that not one of them would ever again be employed by the express companies. After extended conferences between the two sides to the strike, the follow ing terms were announced by the Elm ployers' association, and with the ex- ception of that relating to the express drivers, accepted by the teamsters:
 That the teamsters should recognize the integrity and permanency of the Employers Teaming Co, which is to employ non-union men and remain pledged to the policy of the open shop.
 That the drivers for the express com panies abide by the declaration of.the companies of the forfeiture of their positions when they struck.
 That all desirable non-union men shall be retained, and that no discrimi- nation shall be practiced against union men in filling the vacancies, save that men who have been guilty of lawless- ness during the strike shall not be en- ployed.
 These terms were conveyed to the members of the teamsters' executive committee at an early hour to-day. A vigorous protest was made against the attitude of the express companies, and the teamsters proposed that 20 per cent of the express drivers should be taken back, the managers of the com panies to pick the men. The compan. les absolutely refused to accept the modified proposal. The managers said that they would refer the matter to the general managers for final reply.
 It was decided by the teamsters to await this reply before taking m ac- tion. and the settlement of the strike, or its continuance, was held in abey- ance.
 Opinions vary as to the number who will be reinstated when the teamsters strike is settled. The general belief is that B per cent is a conservative fig ure. This estimate came largely from union sources. The employers place the percentage even lower.
 The total number on strike. includ- ing 800 helpers, is 3,77a From the most trustworthy estimates 1900 of these will get their places back in the course of time. leaving 2.472 who will have to seek other employment.

FIRES A PISTOL
TO CALL MAYOR
Seeking Interview Demented
Man Shoots Twice In
der City Hall Window
STARTLES THE TAX MEN
Wants Policeman to Unearth
Treasure for Him That He
Says Is Buried in Yard

The clerks in the Tax Collector s
office at the City Hall were suddenly
made to think of other things than
the collection of taxes yesterday af-
ternoon by the sharp report of two
pistol-shots fired directly under their
window. This startling serenade was
intended for the Mayors office, but it
was misplaced because of unintelligent
reasoning that the chief executive
occupied the whole City Hall.
Louis Salinas of 1852 Howard
street happily thinks he has wealth
immeasurable buried in his back yard.
but declines to dig 1t up without Off
cial and expert assistance. Some
time since he called on the Mayor and
asked that policeman be sent to his
house to help unearth the treasure.
But no civil service policeman ever
digs, and the minion of the law so
informed the foolish citizen.
Louis Salinas is persistent, so he
again sought the Mayors assistance.
He was willing to yield share of the
wealth If the Mayor would help him,
he afterward explained.
Accordingly the native of Chile
went to the City Hall again, but not
seeing any externalssign of the Mayor
about the place, he fired two blank
shots from an antiquated pistol to at
tract the attention of the municipal
ity's head man. Salinas determined
to find him and have a talk with him.
The disturber was overcome by sew
eral policemen and witnesses of the
shooting, and now he occupies a
padded cell in the detention hospital
at the City Hall.

We make no threats, but something
must be done now"
After q brief consultation the COM
