GIVEN POWER
TO END STRIKE
Conference Committee Ap-
pointed by the Chicago
Teamsters' Joint Council
WILL MEET EMPLOYERS
Action Taken After Failure
to Effect a Settlement
With Individual Firms

CHICAGO, June 6-The teamsters'
joint council tonight appointed com
mittee with full power to settle the strike
and tomorrow conference will be ar
ranged with the employers.
The appointment of the committee fol-
lowed the announcement by Attorney
Mayer, who. speaking for the Employers
Association. said two days ago that no
more conferences would be held with the
men unless the committee came to the
meeting with full power to act, and this
power must be explicitly stated in
writing. The teamsters promised to ap-
point the committee last night, but In
stead of doing so sent a committee TO ar
range individual settlements with q
number Of the large dry goods houses.
This attempt failed completely. the en-
ployers having announced that no sepa-
rate settlements would be made and that
II the strike Were declared off 1t must be
declared off in every direction
Failing in the effort to effect a settle
ment with the stores to-day. the team
sters' joint council tonight named the
committee which 1t had agreed to appoint
twenty-four hours earlier. 1t is COM
posed of one representative OF each
union involved in the strike and is
headed by w. J. Gibbons. president of
the teamsters' joint council.
At a mass meeting of the truck drivers,
called to consider the question of arbi-
trating the demands of the Team Owners
Association for deliveries to the boy
cotted houses, 1t was decided to decline
the arbitration, notwithstanding the fact
that the agreement between the teamsters
and the Team Owners Association con-
tains a provision calling for arbitration
in exactly such cases as the one under
consideration. The action of the truck
drivers, however, loses much of its Inn
portance, compared with the appointment
of committee empowered by the men
to settle the strike.
No action will be taken by the team
owners pending the meeting of the COM
mittee appointed tonight to meet the
employers. President Shea of the team
sters was not present at the meeting of
the joint council tonight when the COM
mittee was appointed.

NORWAY SOON

King of Sweden in It's
Section of the Country
CRISIS CLOSE AT HAND
Speedy Dissolution of the
Dual Monarchy Is Now De-
clared to Be Inevitable

COPENHAGEN, June 6.-The Christi
ania correspondent Of the National Tfd-
enden says:
1T is the general opinion that dis
solution between Norway and Sweden is
now inevitable. but that it cannot oc-
cur without removing or suspending the
existing Norwegian legal power. Before
the end Of this week the Storthing will
have adopted resolutions which from the
instant they come in force will mean
the dethronement of the King.
The NorWegians maintain that the
King. by not revoking his veto given at
Stockholm of the law for a separate
consular representation and partly by his
absence from Norway, has suspended
his rights and duties as King OF Nor
way.
Under article XIII of the constitu-
ton, the Storthing will install respon-
sible government which. in the absence
Of the King. will govern In the Kings
name Notification of eventual changes
in constitutional situations will probably
be given to the powers by special mis-
sion"
LONDON. June 6.-The correspondent
of the Daily News at Christiania, Nor
way. says that the blue book published
Government order forhidding the en-
trance of Swedish warships to Nor
WoSl2n pOTlS WITHOUT per
mission. According TO the Swedish au-
thorities in London, the foregoing order
is not connected with the crisis as to
independent consular representation, but
is the settlement of a long disputed
question as to whether Swedish war
ships should be placed on the same
footing with foreign warships.
The Christiania correspondent of the
Times says he believes he has good au-
thority for saying that Sweden has tndi-
rectly assured Norway that no forcible
measures will be employed to keep her
within the bonds of the, political union.
The correspondent adds that the Govern
ment will to-day definitely place its resig-
nation in the hands of the Storthing.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at
Christiania says: Everything is quiet
here and there is a general desire to find
a peaceful solution of the crisis. Consid-
erable favor is expressed for an arrange
ment whereby King Oscar shall abdicate
in favor of younger member of the royal
house, for instance the Crown Princes
son Wilhelm"

NEW STORED FREMONT
Harry Cannon Will Open Up in
Business in Near Future.

Harry Cannon, of Fremont, son of
Sam Cannon, of the old and well
known firm of Cannon &c Gum, has
made arrangements to open a sort Of
general store in that place. The
time seems to be ripe for such an in
stitution, as since the retirement Of
the old firm and the closing out of it's
business, no store has come in to
take its place.
Mr.. Cannon has rented a location
and was in the city Saturday pur-
chasing his stock of groceries of the
H. l.. Spencer Company. His pur-
chases in this line amounted to fully
two a loads of merchandise. In
addition to the grocery stock Mr.. Can
non will carry a complete line of
shoes and gents furnishings.
The young man has had years of
experience in the store of his father
and is fully competent and capable
to meet the requirements and the
responsibilities which the new bust
ness will entail. Harry is a popular
fellow and everyone in the Fremont
neighborhood is greatly pleased that
the young man Is to remain in the old
town, and he will undoubtedly make
a great success of the enterprise.

case at court in which the city was
made defendant in suit brought by
Chas. Phelps seeking to enjoin the
city from making assessment against

paving.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Phelps conveyed a strip of his prop
erty about two feet wide abutting on
the paving from one of his interests
to another so that in the letter OF the
law 1t would appear that the property
abutting the Improvement was not
worth four times the improvement,
as is permitted by the law.
G. c. orvis, city solicitor repre-
sented the city. The court held for
the city and Mr.. Phelps will pay for
the paving benefits.

RAILROAD RATES
CONTROL MEASURE
COMBINATION or TOWNSEND
EscH BILLS ADOPTED.
MUCH LIKET THE HEPBURN BILL
President Discusses Proposed Leeis-
Iation and Holds That National
Regulation of Railroads is
of Vital Importance.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 31.- The
Townsend-Esch bill, a substitute for
the Hepburn railroad rate bill, as
adopted in the committee caucus last
night, was reported to the house to-
day. The measure gives power to
the interstate commerce commission
to fix a rate to replace one found
unreasonable and to enforce it. The
rate becomes effective on thirty days.
notice. Within sixty days the rail-
road may appeal to a new court of
transportation established by the
measure and composed Of five circuit
judges, appointed by the president.
The rate may be suspended on order
Of the transportation court but If sus-
tanned by that court then appeal lies
only to the supreme court and the
rate cannot be suspended pending an
appeal to the supreme court, a feature
vital to shippers.
When the republicans of the COM
mittee caucused, eight of the eleven
were for the Hepburn bill. The other
three were opposed, and as these,
with the democrats, formed a major
ity Of the committee, it was seen to
be useless to try to unite on the Hep
burn bill and a compromise on the
new measure was the result.
Colonel Hepburn said that there
was no substantial difference between
the new measure and his own, so far
as bestowal of power on the commits
sion and method of it's enforcement.
The Presidents Views.
In his speech at Philadelphia last
night President Roosevelt stated his
position on the railroad rate question
in the following terms:
There must be lodged in some trib-
unal the power over rates, and espe-
cially over rebates-whether secured
by of private ears or private
tracks, in the form Of damages or
commissions or in any other manner
which will protect alike the railroad
and the shipper and put the big ship
per and the little shipper on an equal
footing.
at was beyond question the inten-
tion of the founders Of u govern
ment that interstate commerce In 81
its branches and aspects should y
under national control. If the courts
decide that this intention was not
carried out and made effective in the
Constitution as it how stands, then
the Constitution will have to be
amended"
