OF the lower house OF parliament In
adopting at o'clock this morning an

II is rumored that the step has been

The feeling OF general alarm is in

An attempt was made 20 reassre the
public when this fact leaked out, with
the explanation that there were pre-

view OF the threatening situation
among the workmen In the Industrial
sections but the evidence seems con-
elusive that the government has de-

SHEA REGARDS
CONDITIONS AS
MOST HOPEFUL

Cornelius p Shea was in this city today
a number of the prominent labor men.
With him was Frank F. Falls. the New
England organizer.
Mr.. Shea stated that the prospects for
the craft were never better. even though
the international had just ben through a
strike at Chicago that will go down in
the history of the movement as one OF
the bitterest
He also said that the teaming industry
was taking on new life in this section,
and with the formation OF the unions of
the beer and mineral water drivers, the
truckmen. lumber drivers and other
branches, Providence and all New Eng
land will be as we'll organized as any sec
tion of the country
In speaking of his mission here, he
stated that there would likely be new
emblem adopted at the next convention.
and he was here TO look into several sug-
gestions that had been made. They were
anxlons to have a union-made article OF
unique design and at the same time dura-
BILE. The one worn by the teamsters of
local $50 met with his approval.
He also said that over 80 per cent of
the teamsters were members OF the or
ganization. This was very significant
when the fact was considered that each
local signed a separate contract govern
ing the conditions OF its peculiar section,
and there were SO many branches to the
craft work.
Mr.. Shea will leave tonight for Boston
and then return to the west to prepare
for the convention. He and Mr.. Falls have
been visiting the locals of Brooklyn and
New York where there has been some
trouble, but matters are again settled
