the transportation business, and some
of them employ several hundred team
sters. The members of the association
have contracts in large measure for
the hauling of goods between the large
business houses of the city and the
railways, and they have heretofore
rather sided with the Transfers than
with the members of the Employers
Association. They decided, however,
that they could no longer refuse to
make deliveries.
President Shea of the Transfers
Union was defiant, and went into the
meeting with the declaration that the
Transfers Of Chicago would strike to
a man rather than to agree to permit
the delivery of goods to houses where
strikes have been called. There was,
however, a strong element in the union
opposed to a general strike, and many
OF the officers of the local unions went
into the meeting with the avowed in
tention of preventing a spread of the
strike If it was possible.
The employers, realizing that the
strike was either won or just about to
spread, mailed to 10000 business
houses in Chicago a statement of the
strike as viewed from their stand
point. The document went over the
causes of the strike and called on all
bushes men to uphold their right to
send wagons through the streets with
out molestatiOn, and to join with the
Employers Association in refusing to
yield ''to the dictation of labor unions
in the control Of u business"
Policeon Wagons.
Last week, when the strike riots be-
came 80 numerous an order went out
from police headquarters for two po-
licemen to ride en- every wagon. This
vas strongly opposed by the labor lead
ers, but it did no good. Now the big
stores and express companies have
about 600 wagons out. which is a little
over so per cent Of the regular opera
tons.
The investigating committee appoint
ed by Mayor Dunno has accomplished
nothing. In a statement over their
own signatures several Of the employ
ers assert that President Shea of the
union was willing to accept the terms
offered by the employers provided they
would reinstate the strikers for twenty
four hours until Shea could get out Of
town. Shea declares that there is no
truth in the statement of the employ
ers.

WILL END PUPILS STRIKES.
Chicago Board of Education Threatens
Arrest of Parents.

The school strike in Chicago has con-
tinued to spread, while the authorities
are taking measures to put a quietus on
the epidemic. So far there have been
strikes at eight school buildings because
these schools have been receiving coal
delivered by n%on-union teamsters. Near
ly 1000 school children left their desks,
and much rioting ensued.
w. l.. Bodine, superintendent of COM
pulsory education, detailed thirty-six
truant officers and special policemen to
serve warning notices upon parents of
striking school children. The notices
read that unless the children are sent
to school at once the parents will be held
responsible TO the law. The Illinois law
requires parents to keep their children
at school. 1t also requires the children
to attend school and obey the rules there
of. The law, the superintendent says,
will be strictly and promptly enforced
against the parents for failure to send
their children to school and against chill
dren for failure to attend and obey the
rules of the school.

the condition of their business made it
necessary for them to make deliveries
to houses which have been b0ycOtted
by the unions, and that they would do
so next week Needless of the fact
whether or not a strike existed at such
places. The Council was urged to
agree to this procedure and avert a
general strike. After an extended de-
bate the members of the Teamsters'
Council decided that it would not
agree to the delivery of goods to any
of the boycotted houses by union team
sters, and that strikes would be called
whenever a a was discharged for
refusing to deliver goods. There are
$4,000 Transfers in the unions which
will be affected.

In this neighborhood men and wom-

fit they have received from the use Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills and it frequently
happens they are the means Of curing
members of both sexes in the same

MY lips cannot express too much
praise for Dodd's Kidney Pills. l suf-

cured him."
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
kidneys. Healthy kidneys mean pure
blood and good health all over the
body. No woman with healthy kidneys

THREE CANAL PLANS.
A Trio of Projects for Building h
Isthmian Waterway.

Isthmian Waterway.
There are now under consideration
three distinct projects for the canal. One
Is the sea-level plan. 1t is favored by
Engineers Parsons and Burr, and to o
limited extent by Chief Engineer Wal
lace.
The second is a revival Of the plan OF
the French Comite Technique. Bunau-
varilla, the man who organized the revo-
luton at Panama, and who was the FIRST
minister Of the fedgling republic at
Washington, recently crossed the ocean
to urge this plan upon the President.
His idea was that It's adoption would
save the honor Of France" by demon
strating that, though the French had
failed a. canal builders, their engineers
were men Of genius and far-seeing wis
dom.
The third is the Bates plan. II strikes
O happy mean between the other two.
The French plan called for a summit
level 62.b feet above the ocean, though
Mr.. Bunau-Vorilla advocates making the
level los feet at the start. His idea Ii
that a canal at that level could be COM
plsted In Ave years and afterward could
Be sunk By dredging In the channel to
any depth desired ever to zen level.

A teamsters' strike Ia different from
any other kind of a strike. II the men
in a factory 20 out, the center Of dis
turbance is the factory. 1t is the same
with a mine or a store. II street car
men decline to work themselves or to
let others work the base of operations
must necessarily be at the barns and
along the tracks where the ears should
run. If there is a strike ut the pack
ing houses they simply build a stock
ade around them and herd their strike
breakers within II. Not so with a
teamsters' strike. The teams, driven
by strike-breakers, 60 everywhere.
They appear on the street and the
strikers are on as many streets as
they are. Thus when a Transfers
strike gets good. as this one has been
in Chicago, there is a wake of tumult
and riOting and a trail Of broken heads
from n end of the town to the other.

exist in this day and age in any coun-
try? We ind that the peasant and
laboring classes ask for voice in the
government. The czar has promised
them limited voice in national affairs
but SO far has not kept faith with them.
They are not asking for something un-
reasonable but for few of the enjoy
ments and privileges that are enjoyed
by the citizens of the progressive
nations. They have a country equally
as great as any nation so far as natur-
al resources are concerned, and all they
ask is that they may be granted free
dom of speech, and relieved of the
suckers who are sapping the very blood
and sinew of the nation for personal
aggrandizement of selfish few. What
the masses there want is an education
al system whereby those of the future,
upon whose shoulders will rest the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship, will not be
brought up in ignorance.
On the other hand, we find in Japan
a unity of interests. There is no groan
from the oppressed. The japanese are
united people, progressive in every
sense of the word. When one realizes
that Japan has in less than fifty years
developed into one of the strongest of
powers, we can draw but one con-
clusion, and that is, Japan has not
only accepted the best that other ma
tions have, but she has taken these
theories and made practical use of
them.
There is no question as to the final
outcome of the present conflict with
Russia. A country cannot engage
another successfully when revolution
is sapping that country from within.
The present conflict has awakened the
Russian middle and lower classes to
the fact that they are being oppressed
and that the time for them to relieve
themselves of the oppressed is at hand.
We wish them success and may the
spirit of 1776 settle over the Russian
Empire. EILsEL.

TATE had left Ray stripped and
X wounded on the highway of life;
it had taken from him all be-
lief in women; it had made for
ever impossible for him, his old creed of
the joy of mere existence; it had killed
his youth. Was he now to get up and
crawl on, and drag through the rest of
his life as best he could? Why, what
was life worth to him now? He had
been fool ever to believe IN it,; it was
as his sweetheart had once told him,
he had believed that it was all suffi-
cient merely because he had never
known unhappiness,

His heart was so utterly dead that
he could not even think of his home;
neither his mother nor sister rose be-
fore him as he looked down that long,
dreary vista of life that lay beyond.
He could only see that Grace was no
longer his; that the Grace he had loved
and believed in had never really existed;
that he had been utterly deceived,
cheated, defrauded; and that some
thing had been taken from him which
could never return.

to himself; "not an hour longer" And
in the relief of having some attainable
thing to desire ardently, were it only
death and humiliation, he quickened
his pace and felt sort of renewal of
energy and life within him, urging him
on, holding before him the one aim
which he thought was most pressing.
He would end it all quickly, he would
not inger on, weakly bemoaning his
fate, or railing at life for having
failed him and disappointed his hopes;
he would just put an end to everything
without more ado. AS to arguing
with himself about the right or wrong
of the matter, such notion never oc-
CURED to him, he just walked blindly
on, certain that some opportunity
would present itself, buoyed up by an
unreasoning hope that death would
bring him relief.
