ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ACT
Evidence, He Believes, Shows
Criminal Conspiracy Between
Official and Contractors.

Phlladeluhir. Aug S0-AnOther noiiucal
sensation was sprung IN this city tonight
when ATTORNEY General John - Bel de-
clared that evidence had been placed In hts
hands that, IN his opinion shows conspiracy
between Henry Clay. Director OF Public

Mr. Bells answers we're given with great
deliberation IN An Interview which was
opened by asking the Attorney General II.

submitted TO him would indicate criminal
conspiracy on the part % certain city ON

Yes. Director Clay and contractors
rs it true that the evidence far sub

partment OF Public Safety involves con-
tracts aggregating Sl0.00Q000?"
II would not say that, but they involve a
considerable sum. That sum represents a
large number Of contracts let by the De-

Are not these contracts for police uni

J. J. Kenper. third vice president Of the
International Association Of Machinists.
who is AT present in New York gave it as
his opinion when seen last evening that
julius Kruttschnitt, yice-president OF the
Hartman lines Of railroad will be induced
eventually to confer with the federation
representing the unions Of shopmen. and
that strike in the shops Of the Hartman
system will be averted. He said he had
been in touch with the heads Of the unions
10 which the men in the mechanical depart
ment Of the railroad belong and his opln-
ion is based, he said partly on the reports
he has received from them and partly from
mis- own estimate Of what Mr.. Kruttschnitt
whom he had seen on former occasions,
was likely 10 do. He continued:
An absolute refusal on the part of Mr.
kruttsChuitt TO meet the representatives
of the federation would lead 20 one Of the
biggest railroad strikes this country has
ever seen. Every shop and roundhousc
would be tied up and the vast output ol
rolling stock which Is necessary for this
big system. independent Of repairs, would
stop. When Mr. Hartman was alive. he
made connections with railroads which gave
A service from the Pacific to the Atlantic
Coast, and this would be affected while
roads not connected with the system would
feel the effects Of the strike indirectly Mf
Hartman in his lifetime believed I'm dealing
with representatives Of large bodies or
employees rather than with individuals or
small. groups as the best and most bust
nesSlike way Of dealing with the employees.
II the federation We're a party 20 agree
ments with the Hartman lines II would no
more be turning the business over 10 the
men as agreements with the union would
end I believe that Mr.. Kruttschnitt VIII
eventually he induced 70 meet the fedora
1,,ly IN Z
with the federation. He has never al any
time been against the unions
For a long time there had been harmony
between the men and the employees I'm
nearly all railroad shops. Mr. I<epper
said. through agreements with the unions
of the men About two years ago, he
said. representatives Of over twenty rail-
roads met here and all made agreements
with the International Association OF
Machinists except the Missouri-Pacific.
The machinists struck in the shops OF
this line. but settlement ultimately was
effected Later there was a strike Of the
rnachinists IN the shops OF the Union
Pacific but this strike was also settled.
and since then up 10 the present there
was harmony between the men in the
shops and the railroad companies Mr.
Keppler concluded:
II the Hartman system would fail 10
recognize the federation il would un-
dCubtedly mean the tying up OF all the
Hartman roads by the tying UP Of all
work in the shops. To my mind, however,
the chances are very much in favor Of an
amicabe adjustment Of affairs by which
Mr.. Kruttschnitt will realize that Il will
be good business 70 recognize the fedora
ton. as he has never been against the
unions themselves.
