Washington, May 10.-Secretary Taft
fairly took the breath Of the 800 rail-
way men, members OF the International
railway congress, dining Tuesday night
as the guests OF the American Railway
Association at the New Willard hotel,
when. after being introduced as 'the
apostle from the Philippines" he EN-
phatically declared that railway rate
legislation must come; that II the rail-
way men Of the country were wise
they would aid and not hinder II; that
the sentiment Of the country is such
that failure Of proper regulation meant
q campaign on the subject that would
do no good TO the railroada
Absolute silence reigned as Secretary
TAFT spoke his mind on the subject Of
rates. He was positively against gov
eminent ownership, be said, believe
ing that nothing 80 delaterious could
come to the country as this solution
Of the question. But" be continued,
~you can not run railroads as you
run private business. You must re-
spond to the public demand II there
a danger Of discrimination, then you
must allow the establishment Of some

The Hide and Leather Association,
one Of the members of the Team own
ers' Association, at a meeting of its
officials decided to make deliveries to
all firms regardless of whether they
were involved in the strike or not.
This firm handles all the merchandise
of the greater part of the drug stores
and boot and shoe manufacturers
throughout the city and should the
teamsters decide to call out the union
drivers employed by the firm, 1t would
affect $500 men.
At meeting of furniture manufac-
turers held Friday afternoon it was re-
solved that all teamsters employed by
firms represented should make deliv-
cries or be discharged.
The employers association at meet
ing Friday afternoon at the Union
League club decided to offer reward
of $50 for the arrest and conviction
Of any person discovered interfering
in any way with their employees who
have taken the places of the strikers.
The general situation of the strike was
discussed at length by the members
and 1t was stated at the conclusion Of
the conference that every one was sat-
isfied with the progress that was being
made toward getting their business
back on 8 normal basis.

r|sIuent Stuyvesant Fish Of the
American Railway association had In
troduced Secretary Taft. In his capac-
lty as toastmaster Mr.. Fish was on
his feet the instant the secretary con-
cluded He answered the secretary at
length taking the view that the law to
prevent discrimination, double dealing
and secret rebates was ample and he
vigorously called for the enforcement
Of that law Mr.. Fish talked Of the
vested rights of the money tied up in
railways, He apologized for allowing
himself TO be diverted and as he sat
down Secretary Taft who sat next to
him, Quired in a low tone: MAY I
have 10 minutes to reply?" This time
was given and the secretary utilized
II In making himself even more posi-
tive as to his position in favor Of leg
lslation which would create a tribunal
with authority to name a maximum
rate, "The law now is," continued
the secretary. "as decided by the SUI
creme court Of the United States that
first a commission and then the courts
may declare whether a particular rate
Is reasonable or unreasonable. Now
In fixing that. in the very mental pro-
cess In determining whether a rate Is
reasonable or unreasonable, one has
got TO fix what is q maximum rate. As
| understand II, what is proposed Is
only that in litigated cases a commits
slon shall be constituted that shall Ak
a maximum rate; in other words to 20
through the same process II now goes
through to dniermine what is a reason
able rate. What am strongly IN favor
Of though. Is that we shall have a body
that shall decide things and that tSnse

sonable time hnaIly BY the court.

BOTH CLAIM GAINS,
Employers and Strikers Each Claim
Advantages Gained Since
Saturday.

Chicago, May 9.--Both employers and
strikers claim gain in the teamsters
strike. The employers declare that
they have gained a decided advantage
in the number Of wagons sent out and
the amount Of business transacted.
The strikers claim is based upon the
fact that $50 drivers for the various
furniture dealers in the city will strike
Tuesday morning and also $50 paint
workers employed by the Heath & Mil
ligan company. The strike Of the fur
niture dealers drivers was foreshad=.
owed on Saturday when at conve7-
ton Of the Furniture Dealers Associ-
ton 1t was declared that their men
must make deliveries irrespective of
strike conditions. They have ordered
their men to carry goods to the boy
cotted houses and the strike Tuesday
will be the result.
The paint workers If Heath G Mill
gan are the first members Of any union
not a member of tire teamstcrs' organi-
zation to go on STRIKE in SUPPORT OF
the teamsters. 1'tey have walked OFT
because Of the delivery Of goods By
non-union transfers.
The State street department stores
and large dry goods houses sent ont
nearly their complement Of delivery
wagons Monday morning and through
out the day transacted business on al

confident that he has control of the

city. Mayor Dunno supports him in
this view and has declared that In
bis opinion the emergency has not
arisen requiring the presence Of troops
On the other hand the business men
point to the long list of injured which
marked the rioting Of Tuesday and the
greater number Of those who were
hurt Wednesday, and declared that
this alone is sufficient proof that the
police are not, unaided, sufficiently
strong to cope with the situation. No
complaint is made against the police

and the prohibition Of the city council
many Of the Wagons Of the concerns
Aginst which strikes have been de-
slared were handled by men armed
with rifles and shotguns.
The request Of the employers made
Wednesday that the police be allowed
10 ride on their wagons was declined
by the chief of police.
One hundred and fifty wagons Of the
seven express companies went to and

many instances completely ungarded

Every wagon carried a guard some OF
whom were armed with Winchester
rifles
The trucks Of the Scott Transfer
company were also guarded in the
same manner. Men carrying rifles

waists were belts loaded with cartrl-

Chicago, May 6.-The crisis In the
Transfers strike is expected to come
Saturday. The state street merchants
have decided to send out 100 wagons
to make deliveries in all parts Of the
city. AS far as possible these wagons
will be guarded by deputy sheriffs and
in some cases by. the local police. 1t
will be impossible for all Of the wagons
to be guarded by the deputy sheriffs,
but 1t Is the intention to place two men
on each wagon as far as the number of
deputies already sworn in will permit
Sheriff Barrett had 200 deputies in SER
vice Friday and said that he thought
this number would be ample for the
work outlined Saturday. If 1t is not,
1t Is said, he will conclude that the
sheriff's office and the local police are
not able to control the situation and
Fl request will be made for the state
militia. Gov. Deneen has said that he
will order out the troops II the request
is made by Sheriff Barrett and upon
the failure or success of the attempt
at retail deliveries to be made Saturday
depends tie coming of the troops. Fiji
teen wagons were sent out Friday by
the dry goods and department stores,
and all of them made deliveries with
out interruption. On each Of these
wagons rode two deputy sheriffs. 1t
was the success of this attempt at de-
liveTing goods that prompted the stores
to decide to send out Saturday prac-
tically their full force of wagons.
Either because Of threatened appear
ance of troops or because of the addi-
ton to the police force in the shape of
deputy sheriffs there was much less
rioting and fighting in the downtown |
streets Friday than on any day this
week. The wagons Of the express COM
panies each one of which carried a
guard, armed with a Winchester rifle
Or double-barreled shotgun, went be-
tween the depots and express Offices

THE ELLER DIVORCE BILL.
Answer to a Correspondent Who
Wants to Know Whether First
Section Does Not NuIIify
SECOND

A correspondent from Rocky Mount
enquiries of the News and Observer if
section one of the Eller substitute for
the McNinch bill does not practically
nullify section two.
it does not. AS the law formerly
stood. while the husband might OBJ
tain q divorce from the wife Cor 9
single act of ipfidelity. the wife could
not obtain a divorce from the hus-
band unless she showed that he had
abandoned her and was living with
another woman.
The first section Of the Eller substi~
tute makes it a cause of divorce upon
complaint of the wife if the husband
shall commit fornication and adultery
(that is, repeated acts of infidelity)
striking out the old code provision
that he lust abandon the wife and
live IL adultery.
The second section of the substitute
is as it is written in the Code; IF the
wife shall commit adultery"
The new law does not put the man
and woman on moral equality but
it tends to place them more nearly
so than formerly
