GAS LEASE FIGHT ENDED.
clergymen OF Philadelphia Preach Up.
o., the Subject.


Philadelphia, May 23.-The gas
lease fight of last week, which result
ed in the advocates of the proposition
bcwing to popular will by withdrawing
the proposed lease from city councils,
served as the text for many sermons
in Philadelphia churches Sunday.
There were few houses of worship
where the sensational incidents of last
week were not touched upon.
The greater part of Mayor Weayer's
day was tsaken up with religious duties.
He attended divine services at Temple
Baptist church in the forenoon and i'll
the afternoon he taught his Bible
class ct that church as usual. , He was
called upon to speak a few words and
among other things said:
Its the peoples victory. The peo-
pie have given me entirely too much
credit. say to you it's victory-a
magnificent victory, of the people. But
in exulting in victory, splendid as it
has BEEN we must not for moment
imagine that the task has been ac-
complished. We shall have long and
probably tedious fight before us, but
with the help of God the people will
eventually come out victorious.
The mass meetings scheduled for
this week in opposition to the gas
lease, will, it is understood. be turned
into gatherings for the confirmation of
the mayors new department chiefs,
Colonel Sheldon Potter and A. L.
Acker SO far as known the leaders
of the organization have not refused
to consent to the appointments being
confirmed, nor have they given their
approval of such action.
The gas lease fight. was ended by
the gas company Withdrawing it's offer.

LEADER SURRENDERS
HEAD OF POLITICAL ORGANIZE.
TON IN PHILADELPHIA ENDS
THE GAS FIGHT.

Philadelphia, May 30.-State Insur.
ance Commissioner Israel W. Durham
leader of the Republican organization
in Philadelphia for the past ten years
the interior of Pennsylvania, late In
the afternoon Internationally surren-
dered to Mayor Weaver, who opened
the war OH the organization last Tues
day. The action of Leader Durham
was great surprise to the people OF
the city, as all his lieutenants and the
rank and file of the organization had
been given to understand that the hight
begun by Mayor Weaver over the gas
lease would be fought to finish. IL
had been announced that the fight the
organization was making in the courts
against the mayors new directors TAX
ing office would be carried into select
council, when the mayor should ask
for their confirmation
The mayor and his friends promptly
took up the gage of battle and started
to wage a bitter war on the council
men who intended to vote against the
confirmation of the new officials. In
the afternoon, Durham sent for the
ward leaders, nearly all of whom re-
sponded and pledged their fealty to
the organization, and it looked as
though the fight would be a long one.
Shortly after this meeting however,
William S. Ware, recorder of deeds, a
close political friend of Durham,
called upon the mayor and assured him
that he and his brother, State Senator
George a. Ware, would stand by him.
The Ware brothers hold large city con-
tracts, among them being the street
cleaning for this year. This move.
ment caused a sensation in political
circles and rumors became current
that the organization was beaten.
Mr.. Durham sent for some of the
ward leaders and after conference
he released them from their pledge to
stand by him and made the following
announcement:
Il have advised my friends not to
oppose the confirmation of A. Lincoln
Acker as director of public works,
and Colonel Sheldon Potter as direc-
tor of public safety, if their names
are sent to select council by the
mayor"
The mayor is now practically in
control of municipal affairs What
the organization will do has not been
definitely determined.
1t is probable that the injunction
proceedings instituted last week and
which will come up for argument in
common pleas court on Wednesday
will be dropped.

LABOR UNIONS OF CHICAGO ARE
NOW ENGAGED IN MAKING
PREPARATIONS.
EMPLOYERS ARE CONFIDENT
THINK THAT THEY WILL EMERGE
VICTORIOUS FROM FIGHT
WITH TRANSFERS.

Chicago, May 29.-That the labor
unions are of the belief that the strife
between capital and labor will be a
long one was demonstrated at the
meeting of the Chicago Federation of
Labor during the day when arrange
ments were made for holding strike
demonstration on July 5. On this date
q monster parade of the strikers and
the affiliated unions will take place.
At the days meeting each union af-
filiated with the central body was rep
resented by three delegates. The
strike situation was discussed in all
its details and the sentiment of the
meeting was that the teamsters should
continue the fight until the seven ex-
press companies offered some sort OF
a compromise. The officials of the ex-
press companies are still obdurate in
their declaration that no concessions
need be looked for from their side, so
the matter of settlement through this
channel seems as remote as ever.
with over 1000 police and deputy
sheriffs detailed on strike duty, the
employers declare that during the pres
ent week they will be able to convince
the strikers that any further continual
ton of the fight will be suicidal to the
teamsters' union.
"In the next few days we will have
ali the help needed to get business
back to normal basis" said Superin-
tendent Reed of the Employers Team
ing association During the past
week we secured over $500 drivers
from cities and towns outside of Chi.
cago and there are several hundred
more en- route Three hundred of
these men are expected to arrive here
in the morning from the northern part
of Wisconsin and Minnesota. They
are principally lumbermen and river
drivers and will be assigned to the
lumbermen's association. With the
$50 drivers already engaged by the
lumbermen this additional force Will
put the lumbermen in fairly good
shape again.
"The State street stores and the
other business houses that became In
volved in the trouble at the beginning
have practically enough men to handle
all their wagons, so it is only a ques-
ton of police protection that concerns
us now"
In the lumber district, which is
feared more than any other part OF
the city, many of the saloons. which
have been made the headquarters of
the striking teamsters, were closed
Sunday by, the order of Mayor Dunno.
Police kept crowds from congregating

ers in Chicago.

ers in Chicago.
Chicago, May 30.-Renewed aggres-
siveness on the part of the employers
in the teamsters strike is expected on
Wednesday. Taking advantage of the
legal holiday on Tuesday plans will
| be formed for extensively increasing
the amount of deliveries to be made
from the lumber districts. The down
town business houses where strikes
exist have at present about 400 unem-
ployed drivers. These they cannot
use on account of the inability of the
police department to furnish protec-
tion for them and on Wednesday these
men will be sent to the firms in the
lumber district that are in need of
drivers and strong and determined
effort will be made to increase the vol
ume of business done in that section.
The lumber dealers had 200 teams in
operation during the day. There was
but little disturbance and none of the
fights were sufficiently serious to call
for the interference of any large body
of police.
Practically all of the transfers en-
ployed by the hardwood dealers in the
lumber district are now out and the
soft lumber dealers are tied up, COM
paratiyely speaking, with the excep-
ton of one firm, which continues to do
business with union teamsters.
Notwithstanding the shortage in
lumber deliveries the building con-
tractors express themselves as high
ly confident that there will be no strike
of their men and no tie-up in the
building industries. In this they are
borne out by the statement of the
business agents of the various build
ing trades unions which are to the eff
feet that no strike will be called by
any union on account of the delivery OF
material by nonunion men.
The May grand jury has commenced
an investigation into the strike, direct
ing its inquiry particularly to that
feature which is said to involve the
payment of money for an attempt to
bring about settlement of the difti-
