Life Investigators.
New York, June 3.--Liberal extracts
are published of the report made TO
the Equitable Life Assurance society
directors by the Frick investigating
committee. The report consists OF
thirty-eight printed pages. Its prin-
cipal points follow. closely the outline
forecasted several days ago and in
closing the committee declared:
Excessive salaries, excessive com
missions, excessive expenses and su.
perfiuous Offices should not be toler.
ated.
investments should be carefully
made and all the useful formal pre-
cautions employed to insure the loca.
ton of the moral responsibility of the
officers who are charged with the duty
of making them.
The committee, having pursued its
investigation of the present manage
ment of the society sufficiently far to
convince 1t that the personnel of the
management should be radically
changed and the methods of conduct
ing the business of the society brought
back to sound legal and ethical lines,
begs to be relieved from further duty

TRANSFERS, JOINT COUNCIL APP.
POINTS COMMITTEE WITH
FULL POWER TO ACT.
Employers Refused to Meet Strikers
Committee Unless That Body Was
Given Full Power to Enter Into an
Agreement Terminating the Present
Trouble-Conferenc Will BE Held
at Once and End of Strike Is Likely,

Chicago, June THE transfers
joint council at night appointed CON-
mittee with full power to settle the
strike and conference will at once
be arranged with the employers.
This appointment of the committee
follows the announcement of Attorney
Mayer, who, speaking for the employ
ers' association, said two days ago
that no more conferences would be
held with the men unless the commit
tee came to the meeting with full
power to act and this power must be
explicitly stated in writing. The
teamsters promised to appoint the
committee Monday night, but instead
of doing so sent a committee TO ar
range individual settlements with a
number of the large dry goods houses.
This attempt failed completely, the
employers having announced that no
separate settlements would be made
and that II the strike was declared on
1t must be declared off in every direc-
ton. Failing in the efforts to effect a
settlement with the stores Tuesday,
the teamsters' joint council at night
appointed the committee which 1t had
agreed to appoint Monday night. 1t
Is composed of one representative OF
each union involved in the strike and
is headed by w. j. Gibbons, president
of the teamsters' Joint council
At mass meeting of the truck driv-
ers called to consider the question of
arbitrating the demand of the Team
owners association for deliveries to
the boycotted houses il was decided to
decline the arbitration, notwithstand'
ing the fact that the agreement be-
| tween the teamsters and Teamowners
association contains a provision call
ing for arbitration In exactly such
cases as the one under consideration
The action of the truck drivers, how
ever, loses much of its importance
compared to the appointment of com
mittee empowered by the men to set
tie the strike No action will be
taken by the teamowners pending the
meeting OF the strikers COMMITTEES
with the employers. President Shea
of the teamsters was not present al
the meeting of the joint council when
the committee was appointed.
