STRIKE APPEARS
TO BE NEAR END
Effort to Settle Philadelphia
Tieup May Succeed.
MAYOR ACTSAS MEDIATOR

Holds Long Conference With Repre-.
sentatives of the Employees and
Later Submits Their Demands to
the Company-Head Of Concern De-
clares He Stands Ready to Accept
and Carry Out Proposal.
Philadelphia, June Prospects for
a settlement of the strike of the en-
ployes of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company are brighter than at
any time since the strike began. Both
sides have agreed to make conces-
sfons and predictions are made that
there will be complete resumption
OF street car service shortly.
This situation has been brought
about by the Republican leaders of
the city, whose plans for the coming
primary elections have been inter
fered with this. week by the spirit of
turbulence that spread over the city
In the last three days.
After a conference in the city hall
Mayor Reyburn made public a letter
addressed to John B. Parsons, presi.
dent of the Transit company, in which
he offered terms for a settlement of
the strike as follows:
"First-All former employees shall
be restored to their former positions.
"Second-Arrangements to be made
by which standard uniform adopted
by the company may be purchased
by your employees from any one Of not
less than five reputable clothiers.
Right to Discuss Grievances.
"Third-Your employees to form a
representative body to consist of one
Of their number elected by a major.
ity vote from each barn, which body
shall in turn designate a smaller
working committee of it's own mem
bers, which shall from time to time
be accorded full opportunity to take
up with the proper officers of the
company any and all questions affect
Ing the rights of employees.
"Fourth-This committee to take up
at once with the management of the
company the schedules, with a view
of making such changes in hours and
working conditions as are consistent
with proper service to the public.
"Fifth-The rate of wages begin.
ming July 1, 1909, to be % cents an
hour.
"Siyth-These conditions to con.
t1nue for one, two or three years, as
may be agreed upon with said com
pany."
President Parsons made an immedi
ate reply in which he said:
after communicating with such
members of the board as I have been
able to reach I answer that the com
pany accepts your suggestions and
stands ready to carry them out in
their full intent and spirit"

TIMELY COMMENT ANENT THE TARIFF.

No doubt business would be all
the better if tariff discussion were
hung up for number of years, but
manufacturers are not entitled to
demand that the people of the
United States shall swallow whole
the tariff as it shall please Mr.. AL
drich to make it. No doubt there
would be some revival of business if
the people were willing to do that,
but it is they that have the liberty
to tax themselves under the Consti-
tuition, and not the middleman
dealing in hides in Chicago, or the
manufacturer of gloves in New York
State. The tariff question is up for
settlement, and it is worth our while
to pay a heavy price to have it
settled satisfactory. If it is to be
rushed through Congress without
proper consideration now, it will
come up again in a much more acute
form in the near FUTURE"
Thusly speaks not the Commoner,
nor yet La Follette's Magazine, but
the Wall Street Journal. And it
tells the plain truth as the wisest
leaders of finance see it today.

Chicago, June F.-Under the head

Zionist charges the Illinois legislature
with closing its session last Sunday
with drunken carousal.
The "staff correspondent" of the
paper, writing under Springfield date

served in committee rooms, that vul-
garity and disorder were permitted on
the floor and that messenger boys in
knee trousers became intoxicated. The
article says:
Bottles of beer were brought to
the coatrooms and representatives
made continuous pilgrimages to this
shrine of spirituous comforts. Later
the wet goods were transferred to one
of the committee rooms and still later
to one of the rooms at the rear of the
speakers desk.
'Thus the night passed. One rep

of the messenger boys he was com

language he was dead drunk. Another

The fire extends for hundreds of
miles between Crooked river and
Bowsman and from Hudson Bay juno

No loss of life is reported as yet,

have suffered.
It is estimated $1,0O0,000 worth of
property has already been destroyed.
The entire plant of the Ruby Lake
Lumber company and saw mills on

Passengers arriving on trains from
the north reported that the heat was
so intense that they could feel it In
the coaches. The windows were so
hot they could not touch them.
The district is largely settled by
