HEARING BEFORE GRAND JURY.
Business Houses Involved in the
Strike Trouble Report That More
Teams Are Sent Out Now Than at
Any Time Since Commencement.

Chicago, June q Judge Kohlsaat
decided that the federal courts have
Jurisdiction over the bills for injunc-
tons brought by the express COM
panies against the striking teamsters.
The attorneys for the teamsters de-
MED that the federal court has juris.
dlction over such bills, basing their
contention on the declaration that the
express companies are not engaged in
interstate commerce
Attorney Mayer, for the employers
association, declared that the argu
ments of the lawyers for the union
were ridiculous, and that if the ex-
press companies were not engaged in
interstate commerce there was no
interstate commerce in the United
States.
President Shea of the teamsters'
union appeared before the grand
jury and was questioned for two
hours. He told the story of the work
ing of the International and local
teamsters' unions. When questioned
as to his knowledge of a blacklist
maintained by the express companies
against the transfers he was unable
to tell anything definite. President
Shea was also asked regarding con-
ferences between labor leaders and
employers, but in this direction his
evidence was unimportant. He de-
MED any conspiracy on the part of the
labor leaders and insisted that much
of the trouble that had taken place
in the city streets had been caused
by the private detectives and other
representatives of the employers
association for the purpose of excit-
ing sympathy against the strikers.
1t was announced that certain of
the labor leaders will present aft
davits to the grand jury declaring that
Attorney Mayer of the employers as
Buckminster, who has acted for the
same organization, are responsible
for all the murders committed in con.
nection with the strike They will
also endeavor to secure indictments

from other cities under false pre-
lenses.
The strike today was, contrary to
general expectation, very quiet. No
riots worthy of the name have taken
place in any part of the city. There
were few fights, but in none of them
was anybody seriously injured. The
only increase to the number of strik-
ers consisted of the twelve transfers
employed by the Weaver Coal Com
pany, who went out when ordered to
make deliveries to the American Ex-
press Company.
All the business houses involved in
the trouble reported that more wag-
ons had been sent out than at any
time since the commencement of the
strike, and that they were in a posi-
ton now to increase their force of
drivers each day to the full limit
which the police are able to furnish
protection

st. Petersburg, June 8. = The i'm
mediate realization of the imperial
reforms seems the only thing which
can save the government from the
wrath of the populace. The truth is
now known to the humblest people in
the capital, and will soon spread
through the empire, and mutterings
of the people are certain to have an
ominous effect on the army at the
front 1t is learned that the Revolu-
tionaries and Socialists are planning
to take advantage of the governments
discontinue by exciting demonstra-
tions and renewals Of strikes.
AS a precautior--y measure, more
regiments have been ordered from
camp and additional Cossack re-
Inducements have been brought to
st. Petersburg. The Liberals also
consider that the government is at
last in a corner and that the time has
come to strike. Their press no longer
asks-it threatens. The Slovo this
morning menaces the government,
boldly declaring that if it does not
give what the people need the latter
will take it.
"Russia's disgrace" the Slovo
adds, sis not due to the people, but
to the gentlemen who have been
misgoverning them" Continuing, the
paper holds up the spectre of another
Cugachev, a famous Cossack, who for
years led the instruction against the
empress Catherine.

Moody have been published, but 1t is
understood to be his intention to cen
tinue in the cabinet for year and a
half and perhaps longer.
To all except President Roosevelt's
closest advisers the announcement of
the selection of Mr.. Bonaparte as the
head of the navy came as distinct
surprise, although it had been deter
mined on by the president for some
time in anticipation of Mr.. Morton's
retirement. In all the gossip Mr..
Bonaparte has not been suggested as
Mr. Morton's possible successor. For
many years Mr.. Bonaparte has been
an intimate friend of the president.
So great is Mr.. Roosevelts confidence
in him that on many matters of ma
tional concern he has sought his adj
vice and counsel.

Paul Morton. who earlier in the day
stated that he would retire July 1 to
go to New York to take charge of the
plans for the construction of the Sub

ton with the surface lines.
The president also authorized the
statement that no other change in the

to take place in the near future. Secre-

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates.

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates.
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rail-
way when he says: There is no d.
vision of opinion as to the desirability
of stopping all secret or unjustly dis
criminatory devices and practises OF
whatsoever character"
Mr.. Spencer. in speaking Of "un-
justly discriminatory" rates and de-
vices, makes a distinction which is at
once apparent to common sense. There
may be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex COM
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal. To abolish such open and
honest discrimination might paralyze
the industries of cities, states and
whole sections of our national terri
tory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions of the Inter-
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based on CONNER
cial principles. taking into account the
special conditions which bear upon the
commercial value of the services rem
dered. With the reservation that rates
shall be charged without arbitrary dis
elimination to all shippers alike under
like conditions. the making of rates
should far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit the devel-
opment of the traffic and to produce the
greatest results to the public and to the
railroads themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr..
Walker D. Hines of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention of
some government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase 'the tempta-
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent COM
mercial condition. New York Sun.
