MAxIMo eoMEZ's BODY LIES IN
STATE AT HAVANA-CONGRES
ORDERS THREE DAYS MOURN
ING

Havan, June 1S.-The flags of every
nation represented in Havana are at half
mast over the legations and consulates in
honor of the dead general, Maxine
Gomez. and from Cabanis Fortress a gun
booms every half hour. In every street
there are long rows of Cuban flags draped
in mourning and even the poorest tene-
ments have draped their windows. The
Spanish club has the Castilan flag at
half mast.
The body of Gomez was taken to the
place where IL now lies in state in the
principal salon surrounded by great mass
es of flowers sent by relatives, friends
comrades, the government departments
and social and political organizations.
The body Is guarded by a detachment of
rural guards and several of the generals s
friends are acting as guard of honor.
There was a procession of visitors to
the palace today but the face of the
general was not exposed after it was
finally looked upon by the members of
his family Band concerts and perfor-
mances In the theatres, which are Gus
tomary on Sunday, as well as all social
gayeties, were suspended today.
Congress at a spesion session early
this morning decided that the period of
mourning shall continue for three days,
during which time public business will
be suspended. Both houses appropriated
$4,000 for the funeral which will take
place Tuesday.

BOTH SIDES PREDICT THE BIG
STRIKE WILL END THIS WEEK

strikers have come to the same way OF
thinking a referendum vote of the strilx-
ers will be taken on the question. This
official of the Federation of Labor de-
olared that by this means only could
the trouble be settled as he declared the
strikers would rather call off the strike
than accept the terms of settlement pro-
posed by the employers association.
In addition to this proposed plan to
bring the struggle to an end, the more
conservative element among the union
men devoted the greater portion of today
in preparing for the conference tomor-
row with the representatives of the em-
ployers' association and a committee
from the strikers ranks. This commit
tee is acting apart from President Shea
and his board of strategy" Unless
both sides to the conference show will

peace will result in failure. as so many

Chicago, June 1s.-It was freely pre-

association and the labor leaders that

progress for over two months. will be
thing of the past before the end of the

Efforts are now being made in two

adjustment of the difficulty. According

Federation of Labor, the strike will be
called off entirely by the strikers them

was decided today at an executive meet

morning with members of the teamsters'

these officials and bring a majority of
them to favor calling off the strike.
When this has been accomplished these
