Nothing to Fear

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 29.-Tht
fourth day of the street car strike
found the disputing parties farther
apart than ever.
The refusal of the men to report fol
work and the announcement of the cor

lessen the hitherto friendly feeling ex'
listing between employer and employe
The carmen declare they are not dis
turbed by the coming of Farley's men
They say that western conditions are
utterly dissimilar from those of east

will encounter entirely unlocked fol
obstacles.
The railway officials have thus fal
declined to say when they will at
tempt to begin operating their lines.
Farley is expected Saturday or Sun
day, and if the company contemplate
putting any of it's plants in motion
before that time the move is beins
carefully guarded. At the various cal

best of order prevails.
Reports are being circulated that dis
interested men of prominence are en-

day with Patrick Calhoun, president OF
the United Railroads, and Richard
Cornelius, president Of the Carmen.
union, with the view of reaching 6
compromise i'm the street railway strike
notwithstanding neither side would
yield point Mayor Schmitz is san.
guine that an agreement will soon bC
reached. After the conferences today
Mayor Schmitz made this Significant
statement:
Il talked very plainly both to Cal
houn and Cornelius and they know
that | mean business. l do not pro-
pose to tolerate any rioting in this
town If we have to disarm the men
supposed to be on the way to this city
from the east when they arrive here
Continuing, Mayor Schmitz said:
Il spoke to Mr.. Calhoun about the
strike breakers who are supposed to be
headed for this city, but he made no
comment. Nevertheless impressed
upon him that peace would be pre-
served in this city, come what may.
"A little while after Mr.. Calhoun de-
parted l received Mr.. Cornelius. |
again laid before him the situation as
| viewed it, and asked Cornelius in
the name of common sense and for the
public good to meet Mr.. Calhoun and
terminate the strike
Cornelius was obdurate, standing
firmly on the ground that the rail-
roads had acted in bad faith and en-
deavored to trick the union by hiring
men in the east and by providing pro-
visions and houses for them in this
city.
Cornelius said that he wanted peace,
and that he wanted the cars to be
operated, but that he did not want
either if it meant that his men had to
humble themselves in the dust and to
submit to further imposition.
"Mr. Calhoun listened to my plea
very attentively and showed the ut
most consideration for my wishes. At
the same time he explained that while
he was anxious for peace, he did not
see how he could yield to the carmen
unless they return to work.
He said that if Mr.. Cornelius would
waive that point he would gladly meet
him in conference and that he had no
doubt a new agreement which would
be satisfactory to both sides could be
reached.
"Mr. Calhoun. however claimed that
the carmen had violated their agree
ment in many respects and had even
seemed to avoid the idea of arbitra-
ton"

The second paper was read by j. j.

committee on the subject Can Con-

Immediately following this session
reception was rendered in the cap
itol to the visiting members by the
Minnesota Bar association.
The report of the insurance commit
tee is likely to be warmly discussed,
a majority and minority report hav-
ing been made.
The majority report condemns the
Armstrong law of New York as CON
spicuously unwise" and declares that
mot only are many states charging
insurance companies much more than
the cost of state supervision, but that
in many states the administration of
insurance laws has been characterized
by unblushing fraud, mostly in the
shape of blackmail, or by gross incom-
potency"
The committee recommends:
Biennial apportionment of deferred
dividends,
Repeal of retaliatory tax laws and
valued fire policy laws.
Each state to have fire marshal.
The United States to prohibit the
use Of the mails by wildcat insur
ance companies.
The federal statute to regulate inter-
state insurance transactions.
The minority report objects in par
ticular to the last recommended tions
of the majority.
The committee on commerce de-
fends the present national bankruptcy
laws and recommends their retention.
