NO TROLLEY
STRIKE LIKELY


that such thing was farthest from
the minds of the members of the
committee and that nothing of the
kind was In contemplation. He adj
mitted, however, that the grievances
of the Rhode Island people had form
ed the main matter of discussion of
the day, Hanan, their representative,
was made member of the conference
committee from that division.
1t was learned from an authorlta-
tive source last night that while some
of the members OF the committee had
suggested the idea OF general strike
which should be made sympathetic
one, the majority had soon cooled
down that idea. Delegate Hanan OF
Providence. represented that while
the officials of the company had treat
ed the unions fairly on all its other
divisions they had not received fair
treatment In Providence, which is UNI
der local management with A. T. Pot
ter as head of the system. Potter is
I a vice president of the New Haven
road, also. He claimed that Potter
1 had compelled the men of the division
4 to sign an agreement that they would
not join any union or labor organiza-
ton and he represented that large
part Of the discharges If not all, were
in the opinion of the members of the
union and the employees of the road
simply due TO the fact that the men
had joined the union or were jealous
In its behalf.
The conference committee at the
session yesterday voted unanimously
to support the Rhode Island union and
voted to call the officials of the nation
al organization to New Haven to talk
the matter over and put the matter
before the members of the union in
each city for a vote. No strike, how
ever, is considered likely.
Mr.. Deskin stated that 1t would be
attempted to settle the matter locally
In Providence and falling that dele
CATION from that city would have 10
come here to meet the officials of the
road as the local committee would not
be heard on the matter of division
In Providence. He insisted firmly
that there was no intention of a
strike despite the grievances which
had been laid before the committee.
While 1t was stated that this is the
regular quarterly meeting of the COM
mittee and while Mr.. Deskin declared
that there was nothing of unusual im-
portance to anyone taken up at the
meeting 1t would appear that the
Providence situation received very
thorough discussion and hat the sit
uation there is serious one Wise
counsel. however, Is likely 20 bring the
matter to a settlement without any
strike and the likelihood of trouble
is very distant.
BY the addition of Rhode Island the
union on the system now includes
practically every line controlled by
the New Haven company and the en-
tire system will be bound together ir
the interest of the employees. There
! are about 10000 men represented by
the entire union and a close associa'
ton Is also formed, 1t Is rumored, witt
the shop and road men on the steam
lines, so that practically all the mer
employed by the company are reached
which means about 10000 men In all.
Charles w, MINK, former presiden
of the New Haven local, and chairman
of the trolley conference board since
its institution two years ago, presided

RETURNS

st. Louis, June1- Thousands of
mep of men thrown out of employ
ment during the financial depression
are back in their old places today, as
result of all the manufacturing and
commercial concerns resolving to
make this employment day. The pro
ieet had its origin with the National
Prosperity association, the let-us-alone
body, and has been generally taken up
by the business interests of the city.
Among the big concerns which cele-
brated prosperity day" were the Fer
gusson-Alc chimney Dry Goods company,
which put back to work 1000 employees
temporarily dropped from the pay roll
during the financial depression, and
! the Eli Walker Dry Goods company,
+ which today started every machine in
!! its factories and gave employment to
1000 men and women.
Many other concerns employed
smaller numbers Of workmen and the
movement has been taken up by the
railroads and other corporations
There is a feeling of confidence that
employment day" marks a full return
Of prosperity to ST. Louis, and It
is likely that the plan followed here
will be taken up in many other cities
throughout the country.

HASKELL CALLS
SCHOOL LAND
MEETING
TO INITIATE MEASURE TO BE
ACTED UPON BY PEOPLE AT
NEXT ELECTION

Guthrie, June lin accordance with
the plans formed as soon as It was
seen that the school land sale bill
would not pass, Governor Haskell has
promulgated a call for meeting at
Guthrie, Thursday June 4th, of the
school land lessee committee, mem
bers Of the legislature and all other
citizens who can conveniently attend
the meeting to consider the question
Of initiating an act to authorize the
sale of the school lands of the state
to be voted on at the general election
in November. The Governor, himself,
is known to be strongly in favor Of the
sale Of the school lands of the state,
deeming the release Of such lands in
the western half of the state to be
Of equally great Importance with the
removal of restrictions on Indian lands
In the eastern half Of the state He
was, however. quoted by a prominent
democratic politician in close touch
with the administration, as being in
favor of submitting the matter to the
people The call to initiate an act is
outlined in the following proclama
ton:
Citizens Of Oklahoma, Notice:
Owing to the great burden of work
necessary for the first legislature tc
attend to at its first session, their time
expired and they we're compelled tC
adjourn without passing upon the
question Of the sale Of the public
lands OF the state, but the legislative
depression indicated that any law thai
might have been formulated on this
subject should be submitted to the
people to be voted upon at the mex
general election.
As ihis is an important question
not only to the lessees who oecup,
the land, but also to all of the tax
payers of the state, and to those Wit
are interested in having funds provid
ed for the state, at an early date,
lis therefore thought advisable to cal
a meeting for Thursday June Fourth
eleven o'clock a. m, at the city 0
Guthrie, to be composed Of schoo
Hand lessees, members of the legisla
ture and all other citizens who cai
conveniently attend the meeting, T.
consider the question Of formulating
and initiating an act covering tn
question, to be voted upon at the cleo
ton next November
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1908-06-01

l therefore call said meeting, and
express the hope that every citizen
of the state may feel welcome to be
present at said meeting and express
his views upon this question.
Respectfully
c. n. HASKELL.
Governor Of the State
of Oklahoma.

GOOD LAWS PASSED BY
FIRST LEGISLATURE
Many Important Measures Covering Wide
Range Of Subjects-Some Of The
New Laws

Guthrie, June 1.-The first legisla-
ture Of Oklahoma has handed down to
posterity a record remarkable in many
features, but chiefly characterized for
its business-like methods.
OF the laws passed by the legisla-
ture the most important to the con
duct Of the state government are those
providing for taxation and the collec-
tion of taxes. The taxes levied on in
comes, gross productions and inheri-
tances viii net over a million of dol
iars-not to mention that the excessive
holding Of land which It is estimated
viii not bring the state any great re-
numeration, as it IS intended to be
prohibitlye, rather than a prolific rev.
enue measure.
The tax on incomes ranges from a
minimum Of one-tenth Of one per cent.
on incomes of not less than $1,000 to
a prohibitive figures on great incomes.
The tax on gross productions or ex-
else tax, was passed only after deter
mined opposition on the part Of the
oil and gas men in both houses. and
was signed by the governor with the
expressed admission that the bill as 1t
affected both oil and gas was perhaps
unfair, but could be remedled by the
next legislature If the tax were found
to be burdensome, Only the fact that
to have eliminated that item affecting
the oil anil gas interests whould have
meant loss Of the whole bill to the
state caused him to withhold his veto.
1t is estimated that this excise tax
win bring 100000 alone.
Elaborate methods were employed In
constructing the inheritance tax, but
it was admitted that the bin must be
comprehensive in order to catch the
class for which IT was intended Ex.
emptions are provided, diminishing
from $4,000 to widows, to 500 to very
distant relatives. All inheritances
above these exemptions are subject to
a tax ranging from one per cent in
cases OF widows and children to five
per cent in cases Of distant relatives
and persons not related Property
bequeathed to religious and charitable
institutions are exempt
The surplus land above an amount
which is equal to the value Of 64(
acres Of average land is taxed one pei
cent with graduating scale, which
become prohibitive after the excess
reaches 500 acres. when it is taxed
five per cent The exemption applies tc
tracts not over 500 acres Of whatever
value. The average price is fixed al
$50 per acre. Similar taxes are ais,
fixed on the lease holdings and in
terests OF the oil and gas companies
on the east side Of the state
While the revenue measures for thi
most part are Of an experimental ma

soak and parboil. Then the pots, varying
in size from one quart to two gallons, are
ranged around on tables and filled from

The ovens In which the beans are baked
are huge brick affairs, glowing red with

enormous. holding fully 1000 quarts each.
Filled with the loaded pots they present

At the regular baked bean establishments
the beans are baked over night, removed
from the ovens early in the morning and
then loaded into wagons for delivery to
hotels, restaurants and lunch rooms in
time for breakfast.

the bake shops. The demand is the
largest then. the beans being 1anted for

is also a big bean day, when large quanti-
ties are called for.-Boston Globe.
