Agreement Signed Last Night Puts
an End to the Battle Between
Union and Bucks Stove
Company.
POST NOT
Boycott is Lifted and the Factory will
Now Become One of
Union Workmen
Only.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 8.-The four year
warfare between organized labor and
the Bucks Stove and Range Company
was formally ended at $3.50 O'Clock
last night, when an agreement was
signed by representatives of both
sides in conference at the Southern
Hotel. The agreement was artfully
worded, SO as not to furnish ammuni-
tion for the suit in equity brought by
e. w. Post of Battle Creek, Mich,
who has taken up the fight of James
w. Van Cleaye, former president of
the Bucks Stove and Range Company
NO terms as to wages and hours are
mentioned in the agreement, the
statement made being that the labor
leaders are certain of the good faith
Of the Bucks Stove and Range COM
pany heads. The formal articles of
peace are taken to mean that the To-
cal unions will unionize the plant
without opposition from controlling
powers. Post is minority stockhold-
er. Neither he nor his representative
was at the conference. The Buck S
company will resume operations in
about thirty days.
The agreement signed lifts the boy
colt off the product of the Bucks Co.
and commends it to union men and
union sympathizers. The confidence
of the labor leaders in the good will
of Frederick w. Gardner, the major
Iity stocliholder Of the Bucks Com.

agement. is emphasized and was re
iterated in statement by Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, who declared
the agreement signed marked the
end of the controversy between the
Bucks Company and organized labor,
dating back to 1906.
The agreement, however. has nc
bearing on the suit by which John
/ Mitchell. Samuel Gompers and Frank
Morrison received jail sentences for
contempt OF court in connection with
/ the boycott on the Bucks Company s
! product farther than that the com
pany's lawyer will withdraw from
/ the prosecution OF the suit now pend

j court.

tives present to attend the joint con
ference yesterday morning. They met

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Sept. S.-Startling
revelations regarding the looting Of
the treasury o. the Illinois Central by
means of car repair funds, during
which the late Ira G. Rawn was men
toned as one of the chief beneficiaries
were made in Municipal Judge Brugge-
meyers Court by F. H. Niles, former
president Of the Blue Island Car Equip
ment Company.
Niles declared that during a little
more than two years the company was
able to pay 100000 in dividends on an
original capital of $37,500. Padded
bills, each of which was boosted
from s35 to s45 per car repaired, furn-
ished the means according to Niles,
for the distribution of huge sums
among Rawn and the other stock
holders
Scores of checks were introduced as
part of the evidence by Walter l..
Fisher, special counsel of the Illinois
Central, and all of them were identi-
fled by Niles as having been issued
by him at different times to various
Illinois Central officials in payment
for dividends on their stock.
Subterfuges resorted to by former
Illinois Central officers to conceal
their connection with the car company
I that Is alleged to have defrauded the
/ railroad, were barred by Niles. The
witness declared that stock in the car
