WOULD AVOID TROUBLE
Are Willing to Have Non-Union Men
Employed by Package Delivery
Companies to Deliver to Boycotted
Houses = Strike May Be Ended
Soon.

Chicago, July s. Setting aside all
precedent the union teamsters today
suggested the employment of non
union teamsters by the package ex-
press companies in order to avoid a
strike of the union drivers of those
companies. This was the direct result
of Injunction orders restraining the
package express companies from re-
fusing to deliver to boycotted houses.
Meeting Called for Tonight.
Because Of lack Of funds and con-
fronted with secessions from the
ranks Of the strikers, the teamsters'
joint council has called special meet.
ing Of that body for tonight to decide
whether the strike, which has been in
progress for nearly three months, shall
be continued, and If so to devise means
Of raising money to pay strike bene.
fits
No Money, No Strike.
Strike benefits for 1000 of the rail
way express drivers were due Sunday
but there was no money In the treas
ury Of the union to meet these claims
This lack Of funds caused great dissat
isfaction among the express drivers
and 1t was freely predicted last night
that many Of these men would apply
to the express companies today fol
work The department store drivers
also threaten to mutiny. The treasury
of the local union, of which these men
are members Is also depleted, and
several hundred of these men have
served notice on the officials Of theil
union that unless they receive the full
amount of strike benefits they are en-
titled to they will be compelled to seeF
work. Committees from these two
unions have called on President Shes
several times in the past few days anG
requested that he put an end to tha
strike. So far Shea has refused to lis
ten to their plea and told them tina
the strike would be continued indefi
nitely Unless Shea takes some actor
at once, these men declare that the.
will go back to work as individuals ant
withdraw from their unions.

BOTH RUSSIA AND JAPAN AN
NouNcE PEACE COMMITS.
SIoNERS.
ARE ALL STRONG MEN
Character and Ability Of the Repre-
sentatives Assures the World That
Everything Possible to Bring About
Peace Will Be Done.

oyster Bay, N. Y, July 3.@Omclal
announcement was made by President
Roosevelt Sunday Of the names of the
Russian and Japanese envoys to the
Washington peace conference. The
character and ability Of the men Sc
lected by both belligerents is an earn
est Of the desire of their respective
governments to conclude, If possible,
the tragedy being enacted in the far
east. The plenipotentiaries are:
Russian-Ambassado Muravieff, for
merly minister Of justice and now am
bassador to Italy, and Baron Rosen
recently appointed as ambassador to
the United States to succeed Count
Cassini.
Japanese-Baron Komura, minister
Of foreign affairs, and Kogoro Taxa
hira, minister to the United States.
President Makes Statement.
By direction of the President, secre-
tary Loeb made the formal announce
ment in the following statement:
"The President announces that the
Russian and Japanese governments
have Informed him that they have ap-
pointed plenipotentiaries to meet here
Washington as soon after August L
as possible. The Russian plenipoten-
tiaries are Ambassador Muravieff, for
merly minister Of justice and now am
bassador at Rome. and Ambassador
Rosen. The Japanese plenipotenti-
aries are Baron Komura, now minister
of foreign affairs, and Minister Taxa
hira.
Will Have Full Power.
tIt is possible that each side may
send one or more additional repre-
sentatives. The plenipotentiaries OF
both Russia and Japan will be intrust-
ed with full power to negotiate and
conclude treaty of peace, subject OF
course to ratification by their respec-
tive home governments"
A day or two ago the Russian and
Japanese governments formally com.
tmunicated to President Roosevelt the
names Of the plenipo otentiaries they re
spectively had selected. Acting as an
intermediary the President communi
Gated the names of the Japanese en-
voys to the St. Petersburg government
and those Of the Russian representa-
tives to the government at Toxic. Hav
ing received from both governments
assurances that the selections were
satisfactory, the President, according
to his agreement with the belligerents
authorized the public announcement Of
the ENJOYS.
| No Tentative Agreement.
Some delay was occasioned in the Sc
lection Of the plenipotentiaries by the
insistence Of japan that the ENJOYS o1
both governments be clothed with full
power to conclude peace and to nego
tiate permanent treaty. The Jap
anese government indicated pointedly
that the emperor would not permit his
ENJOYS to enter upon tentative con
ference in which japan was to define
it's terms, and then let Russia decide
whether the conferees should. proceed
with their deliberations. The Toxic
government insisted that the plenipo
tentiaries should have conferred or
them treaty making powers, and the
negotiations should be entered upor
in spirit of perfect sincerity.
