LABOR CHIEF MAY
end PAPER STRIKE

Chicago. May Kit was impossible to
buy newspaper in the downtown dis
trict OF Chicago to-day. The morning
papers issued their Sunday editions as
usual. with the exception that the news
section consisted Of but eight pages. Be
cause of the sympathetic strikes OF news
boys, however, no effort was made to
place the papers on sale. Consequently
the rioting and slugging that character
lied Saturday attempts to sell newspa-
pers was lacking.
In the outlying districts deliveries were
made and little inconvenience was ex-
perieneed by purchasers and subscribers.
All delivery wagons were manned by po-
lice.
international President Freel, OF the
stereotypers' union, is due in Chicago
to-day, and II is expected he will order
the striking stereotypers back 10 work,
and in the event OF their refusing Will
place other union men in the various
newspapers President Freel protested
against the calling or the strike ana
warned the stereotypers that they were
breaking their agreement with the pub
fishers The local union, however, or
dered the strike
sympathy with the pressmen Is grad
uaIly dying down. When the strike
started the vorkingmen OF the city un-
derstood It was on a question OF wages.
When il was learned that the wage ques-
ton was not involved, but that the press
men merely wished TO enforce different
working conditions on different employ
ers, sentiment for the strikers waned.

MEYER RECEIVED
MESSAGE OF TAFT
Carpathia's Captain Explains Reason
for His Silence Regarding
Titanic Disaster.

London. May 5.-Capt. A. H. Rostron,
Of the Carpathia. has spoken for the
first time since he went TO the assistance
Of the Titanic survivors. Speaking TO
the newspaper men who, met the Car
pathfa at Gibraltar. Capt. Rostron said:
Much has been said in the American
press about the silence Of the Carpathia
while making for New York. / found II
necessary to establish censorship on mes
saEes which were being sent by wireless.
This action called forth some rather
severe comment from the newspapers.
Il was said that l had bought the ex-
elusive use of the Marconi station, and
was using II to my own advantage In
order to make money.
This was a most wicked lie / had
instructed the operator that he was to
accept nothing but private messages and
to send nothing but the names OF our
passengers. told the passengers that
they could send their private messages
after the list Of survivors had been
gotten away. When We reached New
York the operator still had about 2o5
messages to send.
Another inaccuracy which appeared in
the papers was that I had ignored a
message from President Taft asking for
news Of Maj. Butt 1 understand this
message was sent to the Carpathia, but
Il never reached us. / have written to
the President, laying the facts before
him."

FEELING DIVIDED
ON STRIKE VOTE
Sentiment of Anthracite Miner.
Equal For and Against Ac-
cepting Operators ofsr.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. May 6.-Sentiment for
and against rejecting the concessions Of
fered by the anthracite coal operators
appeared about equally divided at the
numerous local meetings of the anthra-
cite mine workers held throughout the
region to-day to discuss the situation and
decide regarding the instructions to the
delegates 70 the convention to Be held on
May Il. at which the concessions win
either be rejected or accepted.
Many Of the elder men. and particu-
larly those who are strong supporters Of
President White, are In favor Of peace.
Others, many of the foreign-born mine
workers being amonE them. are strongly
in favor Of rejecting the report Of the
subcommittee and demanding that there
shall be q strike II the operators refuse
TO grant recognition Of the union. which
embodies the collecting Of the union dues
from the mine workers by the coal COM
panies by the check-oi system
A number Of the conservative mine
workers fear that the growing bitterness
over the question OF peace OF strike may
be harmful 20 the union, and they are
doing all they can to prevent this Most
Of them state that when the national and
district officers explain their position at
the convention and tel the delegates
why they agreed upon their report the
majority Of the delegates will be for
them.
Coal company oficials state that there
will be thousands of mine workers who
are not members OF the union unrepre-
sented at the convention. and that the
action OF the convention viii be by dele
gates who represent far less than the
majority OF all the mine workers en-
ployed in the region
Union aficials say, however, that al
the mine workers will abide By the de-
cision OF the convention, whether they
belong to the union or not

Hotel and Remains in Sc
clusion All Day.

New York. May 5-Mr. Vincent Astor.
whose devoted attentions toward the
young bride Of his father since the
Titanic disaster and during the funeral
yesterday attracted much attention, has
been IN seclusion with his own mother,
Mrs. Ava willing Astor, practically dur
ing the past twenty-four hours
The youthful head OF the Astor family,
for he Is still a minor, battled heroically
against his own great grief at the loss
Of his father for the sake Of supporting
ana comforting Mrs. Madeline Force
Astor He gave personal attention to her
every wish. and made sure that the In
structions were carried out. He observed
all of the conventions. and, considerate
of the fact thatIthe young widows father
was too nearly an invalid TO support her
at the funeral service, tenderly escorted
the girl wife through the ordeal
But Immediately after bringing the
widowed bride to the Fifth Avenue
mansion Mr.. Astor hurried to the side
OF his own mother. For hours last night
they remained together Miss Alice
Muriel Astor. the sister Of Vincent. had
been taken directly to her mother from
the cemetery. At no time did she come
directly into contact with Mrs. Madeline
Force Astor during the services, nor did
she visit the Astor home in Fifth Ave-
nue.. She returned at once to her own
mother.
Those who may have doubted that
Vincent Astor is devoted to his mother
may be convinced that they are wrong.
The young millionaire sought the solace
of his mothers comforting presence
again to-day and remained with her for
long time.
Mr. Astor's future plans have not been
announced But from an authoritative
source II Is learned that he will not re-
turn TO Harvard this spring.
The viii of the late Col. Astor was not
read TO the assembled family, as had

ment in Quaker City.

Jams and other prominent women for the
purpose Of systematizing the. campaign

Hundred which has executive charge Of
the work throughout the nation. The
canvass IN PhiladelphiR viii be placed In

take the shape of a great arch, to be
erected, preferably, at the entrance TO

cause it is the Nations Capital. The
men who went down in the terrible dis
aster were from all the States in the

TT must not be understood" said Mrs.
Hammond. that this is a particular
tribute to such men as Col. Astor, Mai.
Butt George D. Widener or others of
great wealth and influence, who forsook
all. It Is just as much for the stokers
and just as much for the engineers who
kept the lights burning to the very last
and in this way contributed to the saving
of many more lives, which otherwise
probably would have been lost It is
also for the brave musicians who played
as the vessel went down All had but
one thing to give their lives"
