Chicago Strike Leader Declares
Business Rivalry Is Back of
Labor War.
Shea Charges Attempts to Bride
and Purchase Strikes to Hurt
Rivals.

Chicago, June 1.-The interest in the
teamsters strike today conferred in the
grand jury investigation. President
Shea has stated that he was offered
$4,000 two years ago to order strike
of teamsters employed by one business
house in order that rival might be
benefited. Albert Young, former pres
ident of the teamsters, said he was
going to tell the grand jury the $40, 900
story and give the names of those
present when the offer was made.
Speaking of efforts alleged to have
been made by the coal dealers to force
the office building managers to use coal
thruout the year instead of substituting
gas during the summer months, Presi-
dent Shea said:
F'The records Of the teamsters show
that the strike benefts-sOme $50 ,OOO-
were not paid by the Transfers organi
zation.'
The teamsters leader made similar
charges with references to the streetca1
strike of 1908. ..
"The coal teamsters went out,' he
said. '"They tried to bride me to order
| the men back to work. -.
Ten thousand dollars, he declared, wa:
the price to have been paid for the USE

st. Petersburg, June 1.-(7:10 p.m.)
An evening paper today printed a
sensational story from a Paris corre-
spondent saying he was in position to
state that after the passage of many
kilograms last night between the French
foreign office and the French embassy
here, M. Bonpard, the French ambassa-
dor, is returning hastily to St. Peters
burg from Paris at the request Of Rus
STA to arrange for peace negotiations,
France having agreed, if Japan s terms
are too onerous, to undertake to ask
the concert of all the powers to compel
both powers to mediate.
At both the foreign office and the
French embassy the story was denied,
but there is reason to believe that M.
Bompard is bringing a direct message
from Foreign Minister Delcasse urging
Russia to make peace.

The extraordinary council at Tsar-
skoe-Selo yesterday reached no conclu

Christiania, June 1.-All party feel

Washington, June Japan is seri-.
ously considering the infection OF sig

information which reaches here is to be
believed, she may send Admiral Togo
with his powerful feet back over the.
course pursued by Rojestvensky to the
