CONFERENCE TO END STRIKE
Strikers and Employers Committees
Meet to Arbltrate A Points
Not Conceded

New York.-A committee repre-
senting the striking employees OF all
the express companies of New York
city and vicinity will meet represen-
tatiyes of the companies in Jersey
City. to discuss plans for ending the
strike.
The plans contemplated conces-
sions on all points possible and ar
bitration by an impartial board for
the other differences. The p aspects
for a speedy settlement are very ia
vorable, as the strikers have concei-
ed that there shall be no closed shop
demanded and further that the con-
ference committee shall consist OF
former express employees.
The order taking the policemen
off the wagons went far toward re-
storing strikers and their sympa-
thizers to a reasonable frame of
mind.
According to the schedule given
out at police headquarters nearly
500 express wagons went through the
streets delivering and collecting ex-
pressage. These went where police
men wee numerous and each wagon
was accompanied by one or two
mounted policemen.
Despite all the police precaution
there was some violence in the city
and the strikers continued to receive
accessions to their .anks. The or
ganized chauffeurs OF the city struck,
and some railway terminals were
left without taxicab service.

Is to be confronted within a few days
by disastrous industrial war.
More than one-half of the thirty
five local unions of Manhattan and
Brooklyn, representing every phase
Of the teaming business, met and
voted to back the striking express
men by general strike. "at the snap
Of finger"
Samuel Gompers, head Of the
American Federation of Labor, ar
rived in the city, and, after confer
ence with the leaders, indicated that
his organization Endorsed the stand
Of the local men.
The express companies made ready
to attempt to draw federal protection
for their wagons by preparing signs
to be affixed to all wagons reading:
This wagon is engaged in inter-
state commerce traffic only" Word
came from Washington that United
States Attorney Henry A. Wise had
been instructed to keep in close touch
with the situation.

were of the opinion that they had q

Agents appeared at the city hall
and went to the license bureau, where
they began asking questions about
getting permits for their new men to
drive. They were to return with a
batch OF men, but they did not show
up. Instead the express companies
heads went into conference down.

the announcement that the companies
would not give one inch in their fight
against the union principle.
That was characterized as "shak-
ing a red rag at bull" by union
leaders, and was asserted to be a di-
rect challenge for general strike.
The union workmen were shocked
to learn of the sudden illness Of VAL
entine Hoffman, vice-president of the
International Brotherhood of Team
sters, who suffered an apopletic
stroke. Before his illness during the
day, Hoffman and his colleagues had
been constantly on the go addressing
meetings OF teamsters, comforting
with committees and making ready
for the general strike.

possible speed, and at the same time
general managers are stating that there
will be no strike, as they intend to re-
sort to the Erdman act, which makes
it obligatory to arbitrate the matters

brotherhood stated that he believed the

wanted to take from tie men privi-

has heretofore constituted day. The
roads want to work a man on hun

five hours, TO work him ut something
else for five more hours.
The wage scale has always been
based on the mileage system. If we
agreed to the other terms we would go
back twenty years. Each engineer puts
in from thirty minutes to an hour in
preparatory work about his engine. He
gets no pay for this. The present day
engines haul 5000 tons, while the en-
