Chicago, Dec 9.-With the $4,000
fund raised by Chicago labor unions to
defend the leaders of the teamsters' or
ganization from conspiracy charges ex-
hausted, President Fitzpatrick, of the
Chicago Federation of Labor has named
a committee to secure $4,000 more. and
even this. it is admitted. may not be
enough to conclude the ease.
The treasury is completely exhausted
and an attempt was made some time
ago to borrow $4,000 from the street.

the latter organization promptly re-
fused.
The federation. locally. has been
asked to levy a compulsory assessment
upon its members, but declined on the
ground that. as last resort, the In
ternationaI Brotherhood Of Teamsters
should bear the expense Of the trial.
The teamsters have had from ten to
fifteen attorneys engaged on the case
for months. In the selection of the
jury. TOO. such precautions were taken
that more than 5000 veniremen were
examined before the panel was filled.
There are several hundred witnesses
to be examined for the prosecution and
defense, and, in the event Of a convic-
tion, the case viii be appealed to the
highest courts and, perhaps. even car
ried before the Federal tribunals.
The prosecution is said to be ready
this week to get a number of business
men to testify against the union.

over the city. No license had been de-
manded for them till one day when the
supervisors reported a resolution against
them.
A member of the Johnson Locke Com
pany saw the chairman of the super

Ruef
The boss fixed the amount of fee 10 Sc
cure the privilege of kite flying at $2o0O.
A representative Of the mercantile house
presented a check for the sum to Ruef
and the latter Immediately took up the
telephone. and after calling M a num-
Der, said: Hello, general; is that you?'
A satisfactory response evidently was
received. for Ruef proceeded:
THAT matter we We're speaking about
has been fixed, and is all right"
The witness before the grand jury could
not fully identify the general as Mayor
SchmitZ. but it is fair inference that
the mayor was at the other end of the line.
From the time of the payment of $2.0O0 TO
Ruef and the sending of the message to
the general" the advertising kites were
no longer interfered with. The returned
check. bearing Ruef's Endorsement, was
