CALHOUN SAYS He WILL
NOT TREAT WITH UNION
There Can Be No Strike Ne
gotiations, Asserts the
President
ISSUES A STATEMENT
Errors of the Cancellation
Committee Corrected
Emphatically
A STATEMENT

The concilation committee took no
further steps yesterday toward prihs
ing together the warning factions IN
the car strike. The committee Is sun
little uncertain as to the position OF
President Patrick Calhoun, and the I'M
preston has gained ground that either
he did not make himself sufnclently
clear or else the members Of the COM
nlittee did fully comprehend the signln-
canoe OF his remarks.
Tt was stated on Wednesday that the
committee would hold another CONFER
ence with Calhoun, but yesterday II
was announced that nothing positive
was known on this point. The impress
sion has also gone abroad that the con-
ference was not as harmonious as II
might have been, and this view has not
been altered by the statement issued
last night by the United Railroads
president, in which he attempts to clear
up what occurred when Il met the gen
tIemep who call themselves the concil-
.iation committee The statement foI-
lows:
In order that the public and the former EN-.
ployes Of my company may not oe nlisIeu ~ -

day when I met the gentlemen who can lnen-
selves the Cancellation committee II seems Nlee s

Il directly indirectly through anybody. The
members Of that union voluntarily severed theh
relations with the United Railroads and there
IS but one way by which those relations can ne
re-establisbed. and that is by applying 1ndlFlo-
ually for unemployment N the regular way 10

The fact thst the men were once ~ the en-
rlovment Of the United Railroads gives them
no rfght whatsoever TO unemployment. nor docs

It seems 20 that the sooner the pubic aoo

position the better. There certain of them
whom We should be glad TO re-emplOy If they
filed We believe that there are number OF
them who did not want 10 strike. The officials
Of the United Ra -neads have no unkind feeling
whatsoever toward the old employees Of the com
many To certain of them the doors are open
and We hope that those who do not care 10 re
turn viii be successful in such other Toca tloni
they see # TO seek.
At the beginning Of next week the
Cancellation committee will renew its
endeavors to settle the strike. In the
meantime the questions at issue will be
considered carefully by the carmen's
union as well as by other labor organi-
cations.
The conciliation committee made nc
headway in the telephone strike yester-
day, but reported satisfactory progress
in the laundry controversy.

CLAMOR FOR REDRESS
Indignation in the Empire
Reaches Stage Never
Before Witnessed
CLAMOR FOR REDRESS

TOKYO. June 6.-The Hochi, which
is supporting Count Okuma in his posi-
tion on the American question. said this
morning:
THE San Francisco outrages are
worse than the murder of mission
ary in, China, which resulted IN the oc-
cupation OF Kiaochow. Who would
blame an appeal to the last measure
If an impotency to protect treaty rights
is proved? We hope. however, that
Ambassador Aoki will be firm enough
to make the Washington government
quickly take measures to mete out JUS
tice to the Japanese.
The leading papers here, whose opin-
ions are worth quoting are silent on-the
question of demanding an indemnity for
the so-called bombardment of Japanese
establishments in San Francisco.
Reparation for the damage inflicted and
the punishment of the culprits is ex-
pected, and 1t is believed that the gov
ernment is taking proper steps In the
matter.
Though the public here is irritated at
the hardness displayed in effecting a
solution of the difficulty, opinion has
not reached the stage of advocating an
appeal to a hostile demonstration In
any form. 1t is true, however, that
popular indignation has reached a de-
gree never before witnessed in the his
tory of Japan's relations with the
United States. 1t is thought by infiu-
entail Japanese that the quicker the
facts regarding the negotiations now
In progress here and IN Washington
are published the better It will be for
all concerned, as stage has been
reached when it may prove dangerous
to keep the people in suspense or ig-
norant of what is being done.

Secretary Cadwalader OF the San

The reports OF the legislative and
