Witnesses Charge Corruption.

CHICAGO, June 14.-Edward Hines,
secretary OF the Lumbermen' 5 associa.
ton, and T. J. Mcmahon, business
agent of the Brick and Tile Team
sters' union, testified before the grand
jury regarding labor graft charges
today. Neither would discuss what
happened in the jury room.
John Driscoll, who claims to have
settled 400 strikes by the use of money
aggregating $4,000, this afternoon
gave the grand jury many details con.
cerning the alleged corruption in
labor circles, showing that blackmail
and extortion have been practiced in
Chicago for many years, especially by
the teamsters. Driscoll admitted tn at
he received salary of over $1,000 a
month for adjusting strikes. but
claimed his work was Legitimate. He
never received any graft himself.
President Shea said today: ~ do
not expect any results from the inves.
tigation. The whole sensation about
terrible graft will be exploded as a
bluff. The whole thing was done
simply to discredit some one through
the newspapers.

Railways Resist Rates.

KANSAS CITY, June 15.-Suits will
be filed in the federal court in this
city tomorrow by all of the railro ad S
doing business in Missouri, to enjoin
the state board of railroad and ware.
house commissioners from enforcing
the maximum freight rate law enacted
by the last legislature. The law takes
effect tomorrow. Similar suits will
be filed at St. Louis and St. Joseph,
The decision to oppose the bill was
reached at a conference between the
lega! departments of the various rail-
roads. The contention is made that
the lower rates are confscatory and
so unreasonably low as to make it
impossible for the railroads to com.
ply with the schedule. The greatest
reduction is upon livestock, amount.
ing in some cases to 80 per cent.

Discussing Milk River Project.

WASHINGTON, June l7.--Assistant
Chief Engineer Davis, of the recla.
nation service, who has just returned
to the national capital from an exten.
sfve trip through the west, where he
inspected various irrigation projects,
among them the Milksriver irrigation
project in Montana, says that as far
as the interior department is concerned
there will be no let up in the consum.
nation OF this project and that board
of consulting engineers will convene
in Montana next month for the pur.
pose of outlining theiwork of the ser.
vice as far as this project is con-
cerned.
He said that the project will cost
many millions of dollars and tina, the
original apportionment of $1,000, 900
would be used in the damming of the
Saint Mary's river and the construc.
tion OF a reservoir at Saint Mary's
lake and reclamation work in this
vicinity.
Speaking of Messrs. Gait aud
Grath, of the Canadian and North.
western Development company, who
have been in Washington for the pur-
pose OF arranging matters with the re-
clamation service so that the interests
OF both company and service be pro.
tected, Mr.. Davis said that these gen
tlemen hal been in the city for many
days endeavoring to reach COM
mon understanding, but had failed up
to the present time. To accede to the
requests Of the Canadians he says
would mean the ultimate defeat of the
government in its irrigation propa-
ganda in Montana for the reason it
would mean engineering fea:s that
would be SO difficult and costly as to
ieOpardize the project.

Labor Leaders Accused.

CHICAGO, June Is. - The greatest
scandal Chicago has ever seen, &C.
cording to State Attorney Healy, is
to follow the disclosures made today
before the grand jiry by John c.
Driscoll, when the former secretary
OF the Associated Building Trades
and Coal Team Owners associ alton,
reveals the entire history Of the deal.
ings between the employers and union
labor leaders, particularly that
branch of union labor represen by
the Teamsters' union.
1t was learned late tonight that one
of the statements made by Driscoll to
the jury was that President Shea of
the Teamsters' union accepted $4,000
at the time of the stocky ards strike
last summer. The strike began on
July II and lasted for nine weeks.
About sc, 900 men were thrown out of
work and millions of dollars were lost
by the packers in business and by the
men in wages. According to Drisco!l's 5
story he went to Shea to see if the
teamsters could not be prevented from
going out on sympathetic strike.
Shea is said by Driscoll to have re-.
piled: ut will cost 5000 to keep
them at work.
Driscoll declared that he raised the
money and paid it to Shea, and that
the labor leader was not able to pre-
vent the men from walking out. Dris.
coll afterward, according to his story,
demanded the return Of the money,
and Shea declared he paid it over to
two men connected with the Teamsters'
union.
