Forty or more representatives OF the
Salt Lake wholesale and iobbIng
houses met at the Commercial club at

to organize excursions TO this city from
the nelghboring states o. II Hewlett

tary The scheme was received with
marked favor. and It was resolved to
raise $4,000 for the entertainment Of
visitors on such excursions. II was re-
ported that the state Of oregon was
turning It's trade this way, and that the
reason why no more Of the traffic had
come this wey heretofore, was because
of lack Of aggression and ultra conser-
vatism on the part Of Salt Lake mer-
chants II was resolved that this con-
diti0n ought not 20 longer exist and
that from now on, Salt Lake merchants
should be aggressive IN reaching out
for business. Scowcroft of Ogden was

Big New York Railroad Man Says
He Doesn't Know Of Utah
Enterprise.
BOGUS USE OF HIS NAME.
Has Not Got a Majority OF Utah Light

Tribune Mendacity.

The mystery grows apace with re-
gard TO the presence and purpose IN
Salt Lake Of Beresford Hope. This
gentleman Is organizing n $4,000, 600

pany, as stated In last evenings
News" Prominent Salt Lake men,
whose names are used In the articles
Of incorporation say that they are not
identified with II in any way and
know nothing Of its merits, and that
they DO not hold the offices conferred
upon them or own the stock which Is
accredited 10 them. The same seems
to hold good with regard TO business
men elsewhere. Today Mr., Nreeland,
president OF the Manhattan Railroad
company OF New York, telegraphed to
the Deseret News that he knows moth
ing whatever OF the enterprise In ques-
ton. and that the first he heard Of II
was when he read II in the papers last
night.
HOPES HOPELESS HOPE.
Hopes claim that he has u majority
of Utah Light & Railway stock under
option proves according to an official
Of that company, today. to be fiction.
Said the latter: I'VE have had time
10 make "A canvass OF the stock and
find that what Mr., Hope says Is not
true. The claim that he has secured
the McCune holdings of Al per cent Is
also erroneous. There simply is moth

TRIBUNE MENDAClTY.
Even in the face Of all this. the Tri-
bune BADLY makes the assertion this
morning that there was a meeting OF

road company yesterday afternoon at
the office OF Judge lie Grand Young,
counsel for the corporation, at which
the transfer OF the company's stock Il.

those present 1t names David Eccles of

such meeting held. AS 10 Mr. Eccles
being present, he has not been In the
state for more than 10 days, He has
been In Oregon and viii not be home

REACTION AGAINST STRIKES.

against the strike policy. and especially

year Herr Bebel. the great Socialist
leader and a member of the German
Reichstag. was ardently in favor of
this method of coercion, and at his
prompting. possibly, occurred the great
railway and postal service strike in St.
Petersburg, which was hailed by the
Sociaiistic papers as heralding the dawn
of liberty. Now il is admitted that the
strike failed disastrously, as many have
before it, and Herr Bebel learned some-
thing by experience. He has begun to
strongly doubt the efficacy CT this
means, and he Shows return to sanity
successful when public opinion is
strongly on the side of the strikers
This is the position that The National
Tribune has always taken. If work
ingmen have real grievances, they can
successfully appeal to the general sense
of justice of the people and bring about
such pressure as will induce a radical
and permanent reform. Strikes, on the
other hand, merely as a means of war
fare, By limited body of citizens, for
their own special benefit, will meet
with the same adverse feeling that any
