STRIKE
BECOMES GENERAL
Mayor Gaynor Angered at AL
legged Breach of Faith Instructs
Cops to Use Riot Sticks
Especial from United Press J


New York, March ia general
strike Of the drivers and helpers of
the United States and Wells Fargo
Express Companies went into effect,
today The employees Of the Ameri-
can and National concerns were also
ordered out but refused point blank
to leave their wagons. General Man
ager AshtOnss of the teamsters' union,
said that the strike order will affect
$4,000 men.
Rioting was reported at a number
of the depots of the Adams company
whose men have been out for several
days, and the police reserves were
kept on the jump. Mayor Gaynor is
angered at what he terms the breach
of faith on the part Of the strikers
as the Adams men had accepted the
suggestion that he arbitrate their
grievances, in the meantime agreeing
to go back to work. Consequently
the police were instructed to use
their riot clubs in guarding the strike
breakers.
An effort will be made, today, to
secure a general arbitration agree
ment whereby all grievances of the
teamsters can be settled. Failing in
this, Ashton, the union leader, said,
today, a general strike of all union
teamsters in every line of trade would
be called.

 INSTOCK MARKET Stocks Fluctuated Within a Narrow Range With No
 Material Changes

 Early in the week an attempt was made to move Great Northern and Northern Pacific when the United States circui. court at St. Paul handed down a decision in favor of those roads in the rate cases and sustained the report of the master who placed the physical valuation of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific at a figure far above the market prices Of shortly after it's inception died out of ;.: own accord.
 Several attacks were made in other parts of the list, but the shares were readily absorbed and triflng losses were made up in the covering movement thal occurred at the end of the week.
 The United States Steel corporation an nounced that on March 3l it had unfillet orders that were 46568 tons larger thar those of February 2S. The street hat looked fur an increase of about 100, ,0Oi tons and while the report of thrilled ton. mage was disappointing, it was not dis couraging because the trust had oper. ated it's plant during the month at greater capacity than in February Stea men, however, admit that the outlooi in their trade for April is not as gooc as it was at the end of March and theil statements are confirmed in falling of in orders now being received by the stee companies.

Wall street is becoming disgusted with the slowness with whicl the president of the Missouri Pacific system is being selected so that wher the committee that has this matter ir charge met during the week and an nopnced that it had made no choice, tn, rumor mongers took it upon themselve to make positive announcement that Pres ident Bush of the Western Maryland had been selected for the position. This however, was officially denied.
