BOTH SIDES SHUN BIG STRIKE
Officials of 80 Roads East of Chicago
Refuse Demands of Employees for In
creased Wages and Better Hours.

Cleveland, O.-The position of the
railway managers and the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen and the Or
der of Railway Conductors reached a
crisis when the demands for increased
swages and better hours was refused
by the officials of 32 roads east of Chi
cago The difficulties involve nearly
100000 men and over 100000 miles of
railroad, including all the lines to and
from New York and other eastern
terminals. Leaders on both sides de-
clare that the possibilities of strike
are remote. however.
"The demands were made one
month ago, giving the railroads until
the Goth to reply" said w. G. Lee,
president of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen. THE managements
of 32 roads have made answer and all
refuse to grant the demands in their
entirety This does not mean that
none of the demands will be granted.
1t means that the managers have re-
fused to grant all the demands as
presented to them, which is exactly
the move we expected. The managers
have undoubtedly made counter prop
ositions, but the committees waiting
on the various managers have instruc-
tions to await orders before accepting
any proposition other than the one
submitted a month ago. In our past
dealings with the officials, the de.
mands have been presented, and then
made the subject of amicable discus
L. n
the managers. The railroad officials
recognize the just claim we have for
advances in wages and better work
ing conditions in general. Both sides
expect an amicable settlement. The
idea of strike as the final outcome
is absurd"

Government to Hit Meat Trust.

Washington, d. C.-The anti-meat

victims. Their bodies were found in
their fiat at 10 Montgomery street, all
fully dressed, all with their skulls
crushed as by heavy club. All had
been gagged with silk handkerchiefs
and Scalpone had been tied securely
to the kitchen door.
All the fiat was in confusion. Every
drawer had been pulled out and over
turned, every door had been opened
and what lay behind it thrown on the
floor and examined with care minute
ness Here and there was garment
whose lining had been cut away as
IL it had been thought a secret hiding

furniture had been treated in the

searching the police have gathered
that mere robbery was not the motive.

Paris, France.-The situation aris

desperate. All conditions indicated
further rise of several inches of the
river Seine, and the cold rain, which
still continues, Is causing intense suf'
fering among those who have been
rendered homeless, with little pros
pect of relief. M. Millerand, minister
of public works, after a tour of in
spection, said that If the rise contin-
ued nothing could prevent deplor-
able disaster and the flooding of the
most populous quarters in Paris.
Paris is threatened with an imme-
diate and complete tie up. The
stoppage of transports has raised the
prices of food, which is becoming
scarce. The supply of water in seven
ACCOMPLISHMENTS has been crippled, as
the pumping engines have stopped
work and the reservoirs are low. The
authorities assert that drinking water
is assured, but there is no water for
the industrial services, which are
practically suspended. The question
of transportation is becoming more
and more difficult and most of the re-
naming lines of the subway were
forced to close down because of lack
of electric current. The big sewers
in the Place du Havre and near Place
de la Madeleine burst, threatening
the foundations of the houses. Part
of the Rue st. Lazare threatens to
cave in and the whole street has been
closed.
The immense bonded warehouses
at Bercv are beginning to be invaded
by the waters and part of the river
wall has sunk at Passy, flooding the
streets. Two thousand persons are
homeless at Alfortville. where the
water is IL feet deep. All the fac,
tories above and below Paris are
closed and thousands of persons are
