New York, n. Y. - Thirty-five

threw in their fortunes with the 1900
striking drivers of the Adams Express
company. This total was increased by
the drivers of several smaller con-
Germs, but the employees of the Ameri-

were not adjusted
Mayor Gaynor was astounded when
he learned that his peace proposals, &C
cepted by the men Thursday, had been
overridden by the Jersey City men at
a midnight conference.

tional and American drivers who ap-
pealed to him for protection. Further
than that, it is criminal and brutal.
Do not be drawn into it. l shall have

Many drivers ordered out in the
sympathetic strike were largely dissat-
isfied with the turn of events and a
meeting was called for to discuss the
matter. The United States and Wells
Fargo companies moved their wagons
under heavy police protection and
there was little disorder. Should the
general teamsters' walkout be ordered
as threatened, labor men say it would
be the greatest strike ever called in
this section.

railroad it was admitted that there is
little likelihood of a settlement.
The agreements between miners and
operators in the Crows Nest field ex.

agreements. But wage disputes and
demands for union recognition have
complicated the situation and no agree
ment is in sight.
Three thousand men will be affected

struggle of any duration will close all

sands who lined the shores.
The bushes and crannies of the park

The failure to find Miss Arnold's
