RENO, New, June 27.-"I shall see
TO it that the representatives of JEFF
fries and Johnson get together within
the next three days and name the
second or auxiliary referee for this
hght. ] am not taking any chances.
n the event that / am injured | want
a. good, competent man to be right on
the job They must go through with
this, and l believe the deal will be
closed without the slightest trouble"
Such was the startling statement made
fhis evening by Tex Richard, the pro-
.moter-referee. He did not tell every
body in Reno about it, but he quietly
slipped the information to few of his
intimate friends. Men who know say
that when he says a thing he means it.
Several months ago [ announced
that there would be an auxiliary ref
cree named" continued Rickard. "A
lot Of these wise fellows only laughed
at me then, but / was determined to
go through with this, though | kept
very quiet about it. No, | will not
try to influence either man. Let them
get together and fight it out, but this
second referee must be named
1t looks as though Eddie Smith of
Oakland will be the man. He was
Jeffries' choice at the outset and
though Johnson opposed him at first,
he finally relented, and on several oc-
casions since he has shown his friend
ly feeling toward the Oakland official.
They also say that Eddie Graney
will be right on the job and that
Jack Welsh will also follow quickly.
There IS bound to be lot of politics
and lot OF skirmishing around before
the choice is made.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 5.-For the
second time within month, all the
cars of the Tacoma Railway & Power
Company and the Puget Sound Elec-
trio Company In this city were tied up
at / o'clock this afternoon by County
Treasurer Meath, Following a refusal
by the traction company to pay in
terest on its delinquent taxes for the
last three years. General Manager l..
H. Bean announced his intention to
apply for an injunction from the fed
eral court at O'Clock to restrain
Meath from further interference with
the company's property.
The car company agreed to pay the
taxes demanded, amounting to nearly
5000, 900, but baked at paying ap-
proximately $4,000 interest
AT IL o'clock this morning Treas
urer Meath. accompanied by a force
OF deputies, called upon Manager
Bean. One party of deputies was di-
rected to seize the street car shops,
while the other. Under command OF
Meath, took possession Of the com
pany's Offices, and then stopped all
cars. General Manager Bean asked
for a few minutes time, dispatching
a messenger to a bank for $3.50, 900.
Through the company's attorney he
then made seven different offers of
settlement, refusing, however. to pay
the interest demanded. Meath would
not waive the question of interest,
and the seizure followed.
The two traction companies are In
debted to the county in the sum of
$211,S30.27, including interest.
The Puget Sound Power Company,
another subsidiary OF tho Stone
Webster interests. recently paid over
1892, 900 in taxes TO the county, after
the treasurer had seized its power
plant, and temporarily disabled the
car service.

wagons, and cut the harness from the
horses, turning the animals loose in
the streets. The non-union drivers
we're threatened, and in many in
stances abandoned their wagons be-
fore the infuriated strikers.
Extra police already have been
called out.
The drivers demand an increase of
pay. At present their wages aver
age from $12 to SIS week. They
demand a uniform wage of $19. The
grievances and demands of the men
were laid before the various store
managers. So far every store has re-
fused to grant any concession and a
long, bitter contest is probable.
Practically every store in Chicago's
enormous retail district is affected,
and the delivery department of some
OF the larger shops already are great
ly crippled.
The managers Of the stores assert
that the men chose this time to strike
as the one when the stores could least
afford to lose the business, and when
they would grant demands that 9th
erwise would be denied. They say
they will not submit to what they cal
a "hold up" on the part Of the driv
ers and are determined to deny tn,
demands at any cost Preparation
are being made to establish deliver!
system.
The store managers say they will
deliver their goods to patrons as usu
al. but admit If the strike continues
the task before them will be difficult
The strikers insist that their de
mands are fair. and that they are mo-
trying to hold up their employers
They say the rate they are asking II
not exhorbitant. That they are max
ing 1t now, they assert, does not near
that they are endeavoring to hole
up the employers.
The stores at this season always
make unusual demands on the deliv
cry department, and the drivers are
expected to work long hours and dc
extra heavy work, the men say. and
they are justified in making a demand
for an increase of wages under these
conditions.
The union to which the men belong
is not affiliated with the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor.
