The Hannibal strike came to an
end yesterday afternoon at 800
o'clock when an agreement was reach
ed and the men went back to work In
the cement factory after intimidating
tie people for several hours, but
failing to do any great damage except
ing to assault one American. The
Hannibal Courier-Post of last evening
handled the strike nicely, giving the
following account of the proceedings:
Following a conference between
committee of foreigners and the Of
fcials of the Atlas Portland Cement
company, the strikers who have been
off since Saturday returned to work
at o'clock this afternoon Every
thing has been adjusted. The COM
mon laborers will receive $3.50 per
day. The other men will go back on
the same pay which they received
prior to their refusal to work.
Ilasco, the city of dust, is a seeth-
ing, boiling pot of beer-demented
striking foreigners today. Slavs, Rou-
nanians, Pollocks and Italians, armed
with clubs and stones, have held an
all day session in pasture, adjoining
the village. Almost an acre of the
strikers cheered all morning to
speeches of the strike leaders, while
a committee was in conference with
the cement plant officials trying to adj
lust the salary demands. Early this
morning the mobolized army prevent
ed the Americans from taking up
their daily duties and as the day aged,
the army became an idle, drinking
multitude. and unless some agreement
is soon reached trouble of a more
serious nature is looked for at the
plant.
This morning professional strike
organizer, Slav, came up from st.

gain impetus with his appearance. He

the plant since daybreak, met the

the train and the entire force brought

OPPOSED TO WARD.
Ban johnson Will Do All He Can to
Prevent Wards Election.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-B. 3. Johnson,
president of the American Baseball
League: Charles A. Comiskey, pres-
dent OF the Chicago American Club
and Joseph Cantilion, formerly man.
ager of the Washington American
team today for New York to attend
the National baseball meetings.
Before his departure, Johnson said
he was unalterably opposed to the
election of John NJ. Ward as president
of the National League and that he
would do everything he could to pre-
vent it.
Cantillion arrived today from Hick-
man, KY, and Immediately left for New
York He said he would strike for
vindication at the American League
meeting. Cantillion declared that he
was not a traitor to the league and
that he would make fight for his
nights. He further stated that he
would insist on an investigation of the
charges of signal tipping made against
the New York American team by the
Washington team last summer He
announced that he would manage the
Minneapolis American Association
club, of which he is part owner. next
season.

Ward Will Be Stumbling
Block If Elected.
Will Probably Disrupt The
National Commission
And Possibly Cause Clash Between
Two Big Leagues.

New York, Dec. 12-The coming
meeting of the National League is the
most important one the men of the
senior organization have held since
they ratified the Cincinnati peace
agreement. If the magnates go
through with the Murphy Ebbetts plan
of electing John NJ. Ward as their
president, that action will be con-
strued hy the American Leaguers as
an open declaration that the old
league is getting ready to even up Old
scores against Ban Johnson and that
it thinks baseball can get along with
out the National Commission.
The president of the American
will not serve on the National Commits
sion if Ward is elected president of
the National organization. Some of the
Warlille magnateS of the National
League, thinking Ban was blufiing
when he made this statement, have Is
sued pronunciamentos to the effect
that It is none of Johnson'S business
whom they elect as their president,
and that if the American League
wants to go it alone it can do so. John
son dearly loves a scrap, and his forces
are so loyal to him that in the event
of the National Leagues failing to &C.
cede to his request not to elect Ward
there is slight question but that the
American League club owners will tell
johnson to go ahead and make what,
ever moves he sees fit, so that the pros
perity OF the game shall be continued

While the schedule for next year will

wish BoWdoin to give them the last
date on the schedule. Nov. 10. Until
this year Bowdoin has always played
with Maine college for its last game,
but this year Tufts was given the final
game at Portland.
Tufts considers Bowdoin it's greatest
rival and naturally wishes to have the
White come to Medford for it's last
game. On the other hand, Carl Mitchell,
captain of Wesleyan, is a Portland
bay and he wishes to have his team

that time. The advisability of moving
all the Maine games one week earlier
on the schedule is being considered so
that Wesleyan and Tufts may have the
last two dates.
