Altogether there are seventy men in the

OF J. Ogden Armour and Edward Morris.
According to Mr.. Jones, some of these men
have not been assessed on anything like the
amount of assessable personal property
owned by them for the period beginning in
1903, and he claims that 900 could be
added to the revenue of the county if the
legal penalty should he added.
The assdcia ton gave notice to the Board
of Review of its intention to file with the
Circuit Court of Cook County mandamus
proceedings to compel that body to assess
the stock of foreign corporations held by
residents of this county.
The list submitted by the Tax Reform
League gives the following holdings for the

accepting a draft agreement drawn up on
Monday as the result of the conferene on

or if no reply is received up to that time,
all negotiations will be a an end. Prepara-

American Federation of Labor. in
town and had addressed few words of
advice to the strikers but was taking no
part in conducting the strike. Nothing was
said about replying to the ultimatum Of
the employers, but the strongest faction
appeared TO be committed to the closed
shop demand, which would make further
negotiations impossible.
Julius Henry Cohen, speaking for the
manufacturers last night. called attention
TO the fact that Samuel Gompers had been
in conference with the strike leaders, and
added:
our executive committee is still await

HUBS MAYOR AFTER POINTS
Honey Fitz" in City with Three
of His Lieutenants.

Mayor John F. Fitzgerald Of Boston
Honey Fitz''-was in New York yester-
day with three of his Iieutenants. getting
ideas on how to improve a city. Not that
Mayor Fitzgerald thinks New York is
ahead of Boston in everything. Not at all.
You have a great city here he said
last night in the Hotel Knickerbocker. but
you need TO do some things Yet. Louis
Rourke the Superintendent of Streets;
James PettigTeW. the Superintendent OF
Parks, and Robert Shurtlef. the land
scape architect, Of Boston, went with me
to-day 10 Brooklyn, where Park Commits
soner Kennedy showed us some fine parks.
But one thing we remarked particularly
was that you have done nothing for the
Shore Road. There's a great opportunity
there. New York has SO many visitors. and
50 many automobilists pass along that
road Why, with city as rich as this you
ought to put 5000, 600 into that road to-
morrow.
THE George Parkman Fund amounts 10
$4,000. and we expect To derive about
5000 600 annually from it to improve cur
present park system which. by the way, Is
far ahead of New Yorks. We are going
to put an aquarium in the Marine Park
and ZOO in Franklin Park.
The other purpose which brought MS
here was to look over the disposal of
garbage We visited the Staten Island re-
duction plant and the Barren Island de-
struction plant. Bdston's garbage contract
expires in 1912. ana We expect To handle the
job municipality. We VIII probably visit
Milwaukee, Montreal and other cities
later"
The Mayor of Boston said that the po-
litical situation was very quiet up that way
Just now.
But you can say for me-" he added.
that there is going to be Democratic
Governor in Maine. and in Massachusetts,
too. And there is going to he Democratic
House in Washington ne&t year. and the
next President also viii be a Democrat"
