New York, Nov. 1.-The calling out
OF 1900 union team'ters, chauffeurs
and helpers in New York city alone,
and the ordering OF a nationwide strike
OF all express drivers and helpers Is
threatened today as a result OF the ex-
press drivers strike in this city. The
question OF calling q sympathetic strike
OF all unions affiliated with the Inter
natl )nal Transfers Union will be de-
cidel at a meeting of the executive
committee tonight. Should it be or
dered, the union officials declare that
practically all vehicular traffic in New
York will at once cease. The interna-
tional body has been notified by the
drygoods drivers union, whose men
handle the l, 200 wagons owned by the
wholesale drygoods men of the city,
that they are ready to 60 out at once
Other unions affiliated with the inter-
national body are expected to express
the same attitude at tonight's meeting.
In anticipation Of ordering a national
strike. the International Brotherhood
of Transfers today prepared a new
wage scale for the express drivers that
is TO be demanded in ,all the larger
cities. 1t calls for a monthly wage to
rate drivers at $50; transfer and schedule
men SO. single wagon drivers $50;
chauffeurs $50; first helpers $50 and
other helpers $50, together with an
eleven-hour work day, the elimination
of Sunday work as much as possible
and several minor concessions.
The ranks OF the strikers were today
augmented to about 5000 men by the
going out OF all express platform men
including the weighers, checkers and
porters.
So effective has been the tie up, thai
the express companies, with the pro
lection Of all the police OF the city, In
Guiding the fell reserve limit, were
able 10 move only 400 wagons today,
the usual number being about 1900,
While no general rioiing occurred
during the day, individual clashes be.
tween the striker, sirikebreakers and
police were frequent and several scores
OF arrests resulted
In an effort to end the strike con-
ieren es we're held this afternoon In
Jersey City between the officials OF the
express companies, representatives OF
the men, Gov. Fort OF New jersey;
Mayor Wittpen Of Jersey City land
representatives OF the Civic Federation
All OF the companies and the official
Of the union agreed to present thei'
differences to arbitration except tht
United States Express Company Off
Gals. The latter say they will not agree
TO any arbitration proposition that in
cludes recognition Of the union. Efforts
IRE being made to have them withdraw
from that attitude.

Pressing war of Diphtheria.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 1.-The State
Department OF Health today began a
new campaign against diphtheria by
ordering the immediate publication OF
20 900 bulletins on the prevention OF d.
phtheria. These bulletins. when issued,
will be distributed broadcast through
the state for the information lof the
people. The health authorities are
anxious to push the war on diphtherla
to a successful finish this year and are
invoking every means at their disposal.
The state laboratories are making
hundreds OF examinations Tor the
diagnosis OF diphtheria free OF cost,
thousands OF units OF diphtheria anti
toxin are being sent out hourly, and
the department is endeavoring to make
arrangements with the supervisors Of
eli the counties, by which supply Of
antitoxin will he kept in all the counties
for immediate use.
There is no communicable disease,
said an official OF the Health Depart
ment today, where science can do more
for the alienation OF suffering than in
diphtheria. 1t is possible to make an
accurate diagnosis at an early stage OF
the disease, to administer treatment
which is all but iniallible and to take
precautions which will positively and
finally prevent the spread OF the dis
case. We believe that the mortality
from diphtheria in the state can be re-
duced rs per cent il the people will CO.
operate with the health authorities.

1t would have been very nice
thing for the Wagner club to do, to
give their last concert over to the
symphony orchestra of this city.
The institution has struggled hard
enough to maintain and build itself
UP, and from past experiences and
by comparison would draw a good
many more people than the Dam
rosch orchestra, which has been
now engaged. The Wagner club
is showing a remarkable local
spirit, is it not? 1t appeals to the
Spokane people for support and
has never been known to do a
thing for the assistance of the
local artists or organizations. To
suggest that the DamroSch orchestra
is a remarkable institution is some
what ludicrous. The Damrosch
orchestra of New York is not the
orchestra that goes on the road I'M

man who has rewritten Beethoven.
IT is most foolish to suppose that
even violinists, who live in New

CITY TREASURY HAS BEEN RE-
PLENISHED AND LABOR
WILL NOT SUFFER.
THREAT OF SCHILLER
LABOR NOT TO BE PENAlIZEO
FOR ExTRAvAGANcE At
THE CITY HALL.

Wage earners on public work
need have no fears Of having to
take warrants in lieu Of cash be-
cause Of the wage increase granted
by the city council last Wednesday
night.
Councilman Jacob Schiller urged
as the chief argument against the
increase the fact that the general
fund of the city was overdrawn
sS1 900. He said that a suit in court
could compel the arrangement
whereby this fund was kept on a
cash basis to be abandoned and that
instead of the "cold, hard iron dol
lars" as the councilman called
them, warrants would be issued
marked Not paid for want of
funds"
Fortunately for labor, and the
peace of mind of Mr. Schiller, this
condition now no longer exists. This
week County Treasurer Stewart
sent City Treasurer Peterson a
check for over 100000, covering
the first collection of taxes, and
now the general fund is again
whole.
If the city council should make
no very large increased appropria-
tons. City Comptroller Farley
thinks the general fund should now
be maintained on a cash basis I'M
til the first of next January.
1t was not considered fair to
make labor suffer for previous mis-
management of the city affairs,
which permitted this vast shortage
to accumulate. Labor did not waste
the city's money, but it was pro-
posed to penalize labor because
there had been extravaganza in the
city hall in the last year. The in
coming of the new taxes sets the
necessity for further discussion on
this point at rest.

FIRE AUTOS
MAY BRING
GRIEF
HIGH PRICED EQUIPMENT
BOUGHT IN SPOKANE FAILS
AT WALlA WALLA
FUNNY WORK IN DEAL
HIGH BID ACCEPTED-LOW BID
Z THROWN OUT

Has the city of Spokane again
suffered through its public serv-
ants in the letting Of the contract
for two pieces of automobile fire
apparatus, awarded to the Gorham
Rubber Co. of Seattle two months
ago?
The type Of machine bought by
the city for $1o,450, the Sc
graves make, was this week con-
sdemned at Walla WaIIa, where it
absolutely failed in making a run
TO a bad fire and had to be sup
planted by horses.
Walla Walla was more fortunate
than Spokane. however She
bought her auto fire equipment on
trial, while this city, it is an
nounced, bought her two machines
outright, provided it comes up to
certain mechanical specifications,
agreed upon beforehand.
There was a lot of funny work
going on about the time the Sc
graves machines were bought by
the city. Fire Chief Harry Myers
and Fire Commissioner George w.
Armstrong took n trip to the coast
to look ND auto fire machines, and
after canvassing the field finally
bought the Segraves outfit at a
figure S425 higher than Webb ma
chimes could be bought, as shown
by the bid of NJ. NJ. See, Sill Mon
roe street.
1t so happens that the Gorham
D,,1,ln, &c of Gpottla
by Captain Phillips, former assist
ant to Chief Myers of Spokane.
Phillips. it seems. has been for
tunate in landing a number of good
orders from the fire department in
the last two years. the best OF
which was the contract for the two
auto fire machines. which have not
yet been delivered.
The Walla Walla machine has
TO a fire and the other dav failed
completely when carrying the de-
nartment TO n big elevator fire. The
Walla Walla Statesman says that
the Segraves machine has been
triod-and found wanting. and asks
that the city council give it mp as
not being satisfactory.
About the same time the Gorham
Pubber Co placed one of these ma
chimes in Lewiston and that, like
wise, has been ordered out. it is
reported.
To illustrate the hold that Cap
tain PhiIlips had when the con-
tract for the auto fire machines
were awarded in Spokane 1t might
he cited that the specifications We're
drawn ND in the original letting so
that only Seagraves machine
would fill the bill A kick to the
board of public works on the Slar-
ing unfajrness of the specifications
and they were changed and another
letting ordered In the second let
ing Captain Phillips Of the Gorham
Co. never even took the trouble to
prenare a new bid or write new
certified check but let the old bid
stand. and Of course got the CON
tract. He seemed to have no fear
OF losing II.
