The authority for this statement is
Geo. H. Earle, Jr., receiver for the

he declared that Nipple had hypothe-

These loans, Mr.. Earle asserted, were
personal transactions.
Although made in the name of the
bank, the directors had no knowledge

said that the Garments strike looked a
little more favorable and that he hoped
to see the strike ended by the last of
this week, and thought that common
ground can be found upon which both
sides can stand.
The ray of hope in the mayors words
is not present in the letter sent by
President Calhoun of the United Rail-
roads tonight in reply to that of Rich

that the carmen return to work at SO a

his former declaration that he would
not recognize them as employees or
treat with them unless they first re-
turned to work.

CALHOUN tonight. The strike never
ought to have been called. 1t can he
settled in five minutes. Let the men
return to work. The contract between
the Garments union and this company
calls for arbitration. While the men
are cut of my employ L will not treat
with them"
M. Calhouns letter to Mr. Cornelius
late tonight follows
Your letter in which you pretend to

has been received.

as the members of your organization,
I'm spite of the urgent request of the
company's officials and in open repu-
diation of their solemn contract,
abandoned their work and severed their
connection with this company, without
waiting twenty-four hours for confer
ence with me, when September ], a
date not even yet reached, was fixed
in your own request as the time when
change of hours and wages would
become effective,
You know that If you desire this
company to treat with you as repre-
sentative of its employees you must in
struct your members to return to work.
You know that Il is the policy of
my company to deal with men actually
in it's employ or with the representa-
tives of men actually in its employ.

ments of the strike today was the
unanimous adoption by the Building
Trades council tonight of series OF
admonitory resolutions. The council
called upon both sides in the contro-
versy TO cease their child's play" and
