STRIKING HOUR PASSES
CONFERENCE WITH sWITCHMEN
IN CHICAGO STILL ON AND MEM
AWAIT DECISION.

= Representatives of the Switchmen 8
Union Of North America have declined
the proposal of the managers of the
railroads to arbitrate their demand for
an advance Of 10 cents an hour in
wages. The men and officials Of the
roads have been IN conference in Chi
cago.
As an alternative the railroad repre-
sentatives offered the men an increase
of cents an hour, and an arbitration
of the question of a 10 cent increase.
ton of how many hours a day any
switchman should be required to work.
"The adjustment committee had in
tended that the switchmen should quit
work at pm. yesterday in case no
agreement had been reached,'' said M.
r. CARROLL of Minneapolis, chairman
of the Great Northern committee
switchmen, on his return yesterday
with the other five members Of the adj
the Northern Pacific committee Off
Gals want moro time. We have lust
received a request to hold a further
conference with them, and I suppose
that will have the effect of postponing
eve do not wish to strike, if it can
possibly be avoided. In every big
strike there are three classes of losers,
the employers, the employees and the
general public. The movement of the
switchmen for. higher wages covers
practically all the railroads in the
United States, west Of Buffalo, and we
ship it would cause to all concerned
to have the railways of that whole
western country tied up. j."

PROJECT IS ABANDONED
La Crosse and Southwestern Railway
Company Gives Up After rs Years.

Company Gives Up After rs Years.
Special to The Journal. Z
La Crosse, Wis, Nov. S.-After an
existence of twenty five years, the La
Crosse & Southwestern Railway com
pany,. projected from the 500 to the
Missouri, passing thru La Crosse, has
been dissolved. The company has ex-
listed only legally, and the officers have
decided to disbsnd as there is no pros.
pect Of the project ever being COM
pleted.
The La Crosse & Southwestern Rail
way company was organized in 1881 ,
when stock subscriptions were received
from various Wisconsin, Iowa, Mime
sofa, and Missouri towns. More than
$4,000 was raised in La Crosse. Sur
veys were made and at one time the
bonds were underwritten, but a fnan-
cial panic, involving a large eastern
bank, prevented the bonds being taken
up,
At various times efforts have been
made to float the bonds, but they were
unsuccessful. Iowa capitalists took
hold of the scheme, but they also
failed. La Crosse capitalists were un-
able to undertake the project, it be-
ing entirely too large. The company
was capitalized at several millions.

EASTERN TRAVEL, CHEAPER
Minneapolis People Must Wait Month
Before Enjoying Benefit.

Western Passenger association rate
clerks met in Chicago yesterday to re-
rates just put in by eastern lines. IN
der the new law it will be thirty DAYS
before the twin city agents can sell
tickets under the new tariff. 49,
The only way the local lines at pres
ent can sell tickets to points east Of
Chicago is on the old basis Of 8 cents
a mile. To get any benefit from the
reductions, the passenger must buy a
ticket to Chicago, and there buy a
ticket to point Of destination. Owing
to the reduction there is as much as
cago east over the old basis. At pres
ent the frst-class rate from Chicago to
Buffalo, for instance, is $3.50 less than
it was before the reduced rate went
into effect J ..45 g. r = =. - $3.50 ~

MAYOR PROMISES
!. BETTER STREETS.

:. More than 200 merchants and prom
erty-owners of Fillmore street attended
q: meeting of the Fillmore Street I'M
provement Association, held last night
in the chapel of. Calvary Church, and
listened to a twenty minute address by
Mayer .Schmitz. in which he outlined
the Intentions of the municipal authori-
ties: regarding the Improvement of the
thoreughfare.
Mayor Schmitz said at the outset that
he came to learn the wishes of the
property-owners regarding improve
nients rather than to make promises of
future action without consultation
with those most vitally interested in
the matter. He said that Fillmore and
Peyisadero streets and Van Ness ave-
niue are destined for some years to
come to be the principal business
streets Of the city and that the city
government stands ready to do all in
its power TO make permanent improve
ments along these ways.
=. In regard TO the lighting of Fillmore
STREET, the Mayor said that If the mer-
chants: of the street would erect poles
and prepare the wiring for street-light-
ing purposes the city would under
take to- furnish the electricity. He also
stated that If the merchants of the
street so desired. no more saloon
licenses. would be granted for the
street. and tnat the saloons now To-
Gated there would be. kept subject to
the .strictest discipline and their IL
censes revoked in case of disorders.
All disorderly houses are to be kept
off the street, and the Mayor promised
10 close any that may seek locations
there as soon as their presence is
brought to his attention. He closed his
talk by expressing the hope that the
weeks end will see the ending of the
carinen,s strikei
Several other speakers participated
in general discussion for the welfare
of the street. one of the suggestions re-
cetved with favor being that bonds be

/" OPEN SHOP RULE
FOR POSTOFF|CE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The prin-
ciple of the "open shop will be ap-
piled to the postal service according to
decision reached at the department
today at a conference between Post
master Fred A. Busse of Chicago, Act
ing Postmaster General Hitchcock and
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Shallenberger.
The visit of Postmaster Busse was
brought about by the recent announce
ment of the proposed formation of
national labor union of postal clerks in
affiliation with the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
The determination today was that so
long as the postoffice employees con-
form to the rules and regulations and
do not attempt to modest those who do
not enter the union there vii. be no
objection TO the employees affiliating
with labor organizations. 1t was ex-
pressly stated, however that the de-
partment would afford the fullest pro-
lection to those who for reasons of
their own do not see fit to join the
union.

WASPS F|GURE IN
MURDER PLOT.

AUBURN, n. H.. Aug. 30-A hendish
attempt TO murder Captain Davis. an
aged farmer of this place, was made in
a most ingenious: way. The plotters
gathered a huge wasps nest big
enough to fill a half busheI basket. and
after plugging UP the ori6ce of the
nest forced an entrance to Davis barn
and fastened it to the inside of the
sliding doors in such a way that when
the doors were opened the action would

BERNARD At TACkS
]. ALVA WAT I.

Itshas been common talk for several
days past that bitter feeling existed
between Attorney j. Alva Watt and
Samuel Bernard, formerly connected
with a Market-street bank. Yesterday
this feeling demonstrated itself when
Watt and Bernard came together in the
burned district There was a fight, in
which 1T was reported that the attor-
ney was worsted. In fact, it was said
that he made motion to get hand
kerchief from his hip pocket, which
Bernards friends mistook as an at
tempt to pull gun and they closed
in on him, giving Bernard an oppor-
tunity to administer several blows to
his antagonist.
The account of the affair exaggerated
itself as 1t spread over the town until
it had been made to appear that Watt
had been badly beaten and would not
be able to leave his house for a week
or so. But Watt will be out today. At
least so he stated last evening at his
home while explaining his part in yes
terdays affair.
According to Watts story, he recent
ly had a dispute while acting as the at
tcrney for the Royal Insurance Com
pany. in which Bernard. had a policy.
The latter's claim was found to be ir-
regular. Watt says. and in the settle
ment the company deducted SeNeTdl
Thousand dollars from it's face value.
Bernard seemed to blame me per.
scnally for his troubles with the in
surance company" said Watt last even
ing. To-day, while I was on my way
from Attorney Goodfel1ow's Office to my
own, he encountered me on the street
and assaulted me. Naturally, 1 defend
ed myself. I was entirely in the right
and Bernard all in the wrong"
1t was reported last night that Ber-
nard had threatened to have Watt ar
rested today for exhibiting a deadly
weapon. but the attorney, when ad-
yised of this report. angrily replied:
Bernard dare not have me arrested.
He knows better"
