STRIKE GROWS WORSE.
Civil Authorities May Need Assistance Of
the state Militia.

CHICAGO, May 2l.-The strike of the
teamsters. instead of being declared
off, will be spread to greater proper.
tions. This was decided by the team.
sters' joint council, which was in ses-
sion until midnight. The council met
to hear the report of the negotiations
that had been in progress with the EN-.
ployers throughout the day. They
agreed to all the stipul lations of the
employers with the exception of that
which declared that the drivers of the
express companies should not be taken
back. This was the rock upon which
the peace programme was wrecked,
and after several hours OF debate it
was decided that the Teamsters' union
could not leave the express drivers to
make lone fight, but must stand by
them. 1t was decided to call off all
the negotiations and prepare for
further fight.
Sheriff Barrett said after being in.
formed OF the action of the teamsters'
joint council: st simply means that
the troops will have to be called out.
We have found it difficult to maintain
the peace with the force of police and
deputy sheritfs we have had out, and
now that there is prospect of much
greater body of men being on strike,
with all the change of, rioting that it
entails, it will be out of the question
for US to handle without aid from the
militia. As soon as the strike spreads
will be compelled to ask the govern.
or OF the state for aid. l have done
all that | am able to do and the pros.
poets are now that the thing will get
away beyond the powers Of my Office"
Levy Mayer, chief counsel for tie
Employers association. gave out
statement tonight in which he said:
"The employers propose to do busi-
ness, and will continue to invoke
every legal avenue for the projection
Of their men and property. That the
employers are right in the attitude
they have assumed in the controversy
was demonstrated by the fact that
every term and condition they insisted
upon was agreed to by Shea and his
committee. Notwithstanding this,
however, Shea now insists that the
express companies shall be boycotted
by Us in order to bring about settle.
ment of the strike. This we will never
do, and even IL we were willing to
comply with the demands of Shea, to
take such action would be q crime
against the express companies, as the
express employees struck in violation
of the letter of their agreement and
despite the fact that the men were told
that If they struck they would not be
re. re.employed.

A GREAT GAS GRAFT.
Philadelphia City Council Makes Deal
That Is Called Robbery.

PHILADELPHIA, May Is. - Amid
scenes of disorder unprecedented in
the annals of Philadelphia's legisla-
tive body, the city council tonight
voted to lease the city's gas works to
the United Gas Improvement company
for term of Is years for the total
sum of S25, 5000 the money to be
paid in various amounts before the
end of 1907. The council chambers
and committee rooms were crowded
with excited citizens protesting
against the lease to the United Gas
improvement company from p. M,
when the proceedings opened in the
finance committee room, until after 8
p. m. when the select council passed
the bill and sent it to the mayor.
The. climax was reached when the
vote in the common council was an.
nounced after three hours Of debate.
The moment President Geo. r. Nc
Curdy of the common council an.
nounced the vote great uproar was
started in the gallery, which was
crowded to the door. From all over
the gallery came Kisses and cries OF
''thieves." A squad of police cleared
the gallery.
Mayor Weaver is expected to veto
the bill, and in that event both cham.
bers will probably pass it over his
head. The vote in common council
was 81 to and in select council 35 to
1. There is only: one democrat in
each body and both voted against the
lease. There is some talk among citi.
zens who fought the lease of taking
the matter to the courts.

DISCUSS RATE QUESTION.
Members Of Interstate Commerce Com.
mission Rcscnts Unjust Criticism.

WASHINGTON, May l9.-Both sides
OF the rate hearing question were rep.
resented at the session today of the
senate committee on interstate com.
merce. Interstate commerce commis.
sioner Judson Clements, was the
star witness, detailing the difficulties
that confronted the commission in its
work and repudiating attacks made
on that body, particularly answering
number of criticisms by James J.
Hill.
Satisfaction with the present condi.
tions was attested by Frederick L..
Lyster, of Fredonia, Kas., and others.
Commissioner Clements spoke sarcas.
tically of the claim that only traffic
men had the knowledge necessary to
make rates, and declared that in the
hearings an effort had been made to
turn the investigation into a criticism
of the commission, Mr. Clements say.
ing that 1t was not intended in the
proposed legislation to confer general
rate making power on the commits.
sion.
Mr.. Clements, in referring TO state.
ments Of Professor Meyer Of the Chi
cago university, whom he called a
"doctrinaire,' suggested that there
was "an aristocracy of wealth which
could hire men to advocate the theory
of vested rights against the rights of
individuals, and asserted that the
patron saint of the institution to
which Professor Meyer belonged had
a colossal fortune bull, up by re-
bates enabling him TO obtain the
property of competitors He said
that in the press and colleges were
found the advocates of superiority of
rights.
