Chicago, May 10-PrOmises of peace and order for today, the presi- dents day, were made by both sides m the teamsters' strike. The Employers Teaming Co decided to reduce us teaming and delivery operations TOT to-day. The teamsters' joint councll has voted against general sulKe, and determined that no further sym pathetic movement should be made, except in case of teamsters ordered to make deliveries to boycOtted houses, in which event individuals should walk out. A statement of the situa- ton was prepared to be presented to President Roosevelt by strikers committee which desisted at his re- quest from meeting him on the way to Chicago. The labor representatives planned to inform the president Of le- gal proceedings which have been ta- ken by the employers, and make pro- position that the president act as an arbitrator of the differences. choos- ing as associates one man from ia- -bor's ranks and one from the employ CTS. The employers say they will nor officially approach the president.
 We have TO intention of hcthering President Roosevelt with our troubles said Levy Mayer. counsel for the Employers association, to-day. Tt is likely, however" he added, "that the employers side will get the presidents ear for quiet discussion of the situation some time during his stay here"
 Strike leaders declared that no or ders had been issued to the strikers to refrain from violence to-day, be yond instructions previously given out during the strike. but 1t was cur rent gossip that secret commands had been passed along the line ordering all teamsters to remain absolutely quiet and not to attempt the slightest interference to-day with the teams of the Employers Teaming Co.
 President DoId of the Chicago Fed eration of Labor called meeting of his special committee early to-day and perfected plans for the presenta- ton of labor's memorial or statement.
 II do not know whether we will be able to see the president or not" said President Dold after the meeting to- day, but I am satisfied we will get him to accept our memorial"

don't hang together we will hang sepa- rately." has become truism. Shall that farsightedness that was praised in Massachusetts be condemn ed in Chicago? Or shall that prrci day be condemned today. The fhou- sands of unions springing up as trees of the forest answer. no.
 Unionism has come to stay. It is merely the systemization of an inhert- tent law of human action.
 It is therefore better to recognize this law and deal with it as such and make use of the high trait of man. hood of which it is the expression than to commit the folly of trying to crush 1t out. as George the Thiri tried to crush out the spirit of unity and independence En the colonies.

ENJOYED THE RIDE.

Schuyler. Neb, May 10.-Presidenl Roosevelt's train stopped her a few minutes last night The president spoke as follows:
 .'I cannot say how have enjoyed passing through Nebraska to-day. passed through much the same region two years ago and 1t is an ever fresh pleasure to see the progress that you have made in this great agricultural state, the way you have pushed the fertile districts steadily west. what you have done with irrigation out in the western part of the state and what you are doing with the farm and ranch here. I have been glad to see the evi. dences of your material prosperity, bur, more than that. have been particular ly glad to see the type of man anG wo- man that you have produced hc-n in Nebraska. That is what really counts, and that is the reason that the crop in which I am most interested is the crop of children. And for that reason have been particularly pleased. in pass ing through this state. to see the great attention that you are paying to the schools. the great attention being paid to the boy or girl who is to be the citi- zen of 20 years hence. It Is In civil life. as it is in military life. Weapons have changed since the Civil war. tao ties have changed. but the qualities that make a good soldier have not changed So it is with citizenship. The qualities that make good citizen now are the qualities that made good citi- sen in the days of Lincoln and in the days of Washington. In the first place you have got to have honesty. If you have not honesty. the abIer you are the more dangerous you are. and honesty is not enough Besides being honest and decent. you have got to he a game man. and then you have got to have the saving grace of common sense"

+, III. BuSbee and A. c. Ricaud, at
tornryS for Schafcr Brothers, as well
as the members Of the Council of
State who were present in an advisory
capacity.
Mr.. f. III. Busbee addressed the
committee at some length, going into
history of the connection with the
bonds of his clients, and proceeding
TO make an exposition of their claims
TO settlement from the State.
Mr.. Busbee made no direct propo-
sition of the settlement, but intimated
TO the committee the minimum sum
which it was stated his clients would
be willing to accept in settlement of
the Schafer Brothers bonds.
This inferential proposition did not
include, as that made some time ago

bee, he also declined to say anything
whatsoever. stating that the mattei.

and that ne could not properly give

gentlemen, however. the News and

offer Of settlement made informally
by Mr.. Racua on his former visit
which was in round figures 100000
for the Schafer interests, has been
reduced in the last hearing to $780,

It is now "up to- the committee.
And then to the legislature.
