ENDING MEAT STRIKE.
Strikers Ready to Submit and En-
ployers Issue Ultimatum.

NEW YORK, September 5.-Indica tons
yesterday pointed to the ending of the
strike of the meat wagon drivers against
the Wholesale Butchers Employers As
ISOLATION today. A meeting of the asso-
citation was held yesterday at the Hotel
Belmont, 42d street and Park avenue, to
settle on an ultimatum to the strikers
While the meeting was in progress a COM
mittee Of the strikers appeared with a
proposition to end the strike.
1t was to the effect that the wages of
the different classes of teamsters should
remain as they were in the last year. that
sixty-five hours should constitute a weeks
work. and that January 1, 1908, joint ar
bitration board should be formed of en-
ployers and employees to settle all minor
disputes.
The ultimatum of the employers which
or rejection by the strikers is as follows:
Applications for work will be received
and considered on the following basis:
There will be no discrimination against
or In favor Of any applicant by reason Of
his membership In q labor union, when
vacancies occur.
''The same conditions as to the. kinds of
work required shall prevail as have been in
force for the past year in our respective
houses.
1.-The employers association has agreed
that an average Of sixty-five hours, actual
time, constitutes a fair weeks work.
Pay day and manner of paying to be
left to the discretion of each house.
I'VE adhere at all times to the principle
that any grievance which cannot be settled
between employer and employe should be
adjusted by arbitration"

TO BETTER BROOKLYN TUNNEL.
Tubes Within Tubes to Add to the
General Safety.

NEW YORK, September 5.-In order to
insure the greatest stability and safety in
the Brooklyn tunnel 1t has been decided to
strengthen several sections of the two tubes
under the East river by lining them with
what will practically be another tube inside
of parts Of each of the original cylinders
for about 1000 yards in the two tubes The
placing of these Innings In the tubes will
mean that the promise of the public service
commission to have the tunnel in operation
by the end of October cannot be carried out,
and 1T will mean also that the ample clear
ance which had been provided between the
cars and the sides of the tunnel will have
to be cut down several inches and will prob
ably prevent the running at any future time
of cars larger than those now in service on
the Manhattan subway
The two tubes under the river have given
great deal of worry to the engineers of
the old rapid transit commission and the
contractors for the construction Of the tun-
mel. 1t was found last May that parts of
sandy sections of the bottom of the river
had fattened at the top and bottom and
when these defects were remedied it was
decided that in order to make the tunnel alb
solutely safe 1t would be advantageous to
drive supporting piles into the bed Of the
river where the difficulty of coping with
the shifting sand had been encountered.
William B. Parsons, who as chief engineer
of the rapid transit commission planned the
tunnel, said yesterday mat the tunnel was
perfectly safe, and that the reinforced con-
crete was provided for in the original plans
Alfred Craven. assistant engineer to Chief
Engineer Rice of the public service COM
mission, admitted, however, that 1t had been
deemed advisable to reinforce the tubes in
places, but he added that this was not being
done because there was any fear as to the
safety Of the tunnel. He admitted that the
extra work would not permit the compile ton
of the tunnel by the end Of October and
when he was asked II he thought the con-
tractors would have to apply for an extern
sion Of the time of their contract, that
period expiring on May l next, Mr.. Craven
said he thought there would be no necessity
for applying for a frightening of the con-
tract time.

he was forced to put on his winter suit
while the other was drying. The Ship News

real thing. but modest Mury refused to
talk about it.
