Samuel Libowitz. the business manager
Of the union. who presided at the meeting

over 10 him.
The dealers for the most part, have been

made any attempt to make a protest Of
any sort. but, according TO the heads OF the
union. steps toward organizing the dea ers
and exterminating the murderers and black
matters are about to be taken Another
meeting OF similar nature will take place
at clinton Hall next Sunday night. when
action will be taken to get the books of a
water concern in which are said to be en-
tries showing that certain sums Of money
have been paid to the gang for killing the

TO Be SACERDOTAL CHIEF
Emperor of China Place in Re
public Indicated.

London. Feb. Sit is grotesque to
suppose that Sun Yatsen is debating
terms or that the throne at Pcking will
offer blind submission to the Nanking
government. says a Peking dispatch 10
The Daily Telegra phi" What is really
happening is that Yuan Shih-kai, by
brilliant cross play. has reduced both the
Manchu extremists and the Republican
extremists to virtual pOwerlessness, IS
building up a great middle party and ar
ranging a purely Chinese solution of the
present difficulty.
The abdication edict. says the corre-
spondent. will be followed by cdiCts pro-
claiming the Emperor's sacerdotal Of
fee to be hereditary and not connected
with politics, and affirming sacrifices ana
other ceremonies for the preservation Oi
the Conrucian code as well as the i'm
perial right Of comforting titles. After
the commonwealth is organized the Man
chm banner organization will be dissolved
and the Communication OF pensions VIII
follow.
Further serious fighting is improbable
in the opinion Of the Peking correspond
ent of THE Times" because General
Feng Kwo-chang, chief in command OF
the imperial guards, has persuaded the
Manchu troops to accept adbication.
A Nanking dispatch to THE Times
gives an interview with President Sun
Yat-sen. who is quoted as saying that
after the abdcation he proposed that the
provisional government should remain IN
power for year.

Nankinc. Feb 4.-The simultaneous an
nonucement that Yuan Shih-kai has re-
ceived permission from the throne to organ
ize 2 republic in the north in conjunction
with the southern government. the arrival
; at Nanking Of WI Ting-fang the republi-
IAN Minister of Justice, and Tang Shao-yi,
-she representative of the imperial Premier,
land the extension of the armistice for one
week indicate the approaching end of the
present stage of indecision and future ami
cable negotiations looking to organization
acceptable TO both side.
The last stage of the peace negotiations
involves decision as TO the capital. which
the republicans assert must unquestionably
be Nanking. as the south would never con-
sent 10 Picking remaining the administrative
centre. IT is also declared that the rcpub-
Hcans will not agree to an interval in
which Yuan Shih-kai would have control in
the north They will insist upon a coali-
ton government, with Yuan as president,
SUN Yat-sen probably Premier and Tang
Shao-yi as Foreign Minister The republi-
cans point out that they are in position
TO insist upon and obtain their demands, as
the Manchu government from first TO last
has failed to strike q blow, except in self
defence.
The main question now. as the revolu-
tionary leaders apprehend the situation, is
the preservation Of peace and the prompt
restoration Of order, which they say is al
ready assured.
Those best Informed fear that the ambi-
ton Of Yuan Shih-kai may create prejudice
AT Peking and that a general underestima-
ton Of the spirit which actuates the
'Southerners may lead to further complica-
tiDns
II is absolutely certain that If Yuan at
'tempts to arrange a two-government sys-
TEN. even temporarily. Nanking will posi-
lively refuse to recognize II. The imperial
Premier, it is declared, must accept the
present provisional government at Nan
king and subscribe to an oath TO support
the republic and act as President under a
temporary constitution before he can be
elected After that is done, the Cabinet
will probably be reorganized and other
temporary agreements made.
1t is believed that powerful influences are

upon a dual government temporarily, but
this would result in dividing China inevita-

That the republicans in Nankihg will

there appears to be a close understand

The fact that the abdiCation of the
throne has been decided upon is not
known to the general public in Peking.
and the skiful manner in which the
transition is being effected leaves small
apprehension Of disturbances.

MAKES PLEA FOR LIVING 4
WAGE FOR. CAR MEN

w. D. Mahon, international
president of the car mems union,
made his final plea for a living
wage for the street car men be
fore the arbitration board in
Judge Scanlan's court today.
'..The company has talked much
of the improvements tits going to-
make" Mahon said. 1T has told
of club rooms it intends to build
for the men and of baths and
showers it is going to install in
them.
I tell you the men are getting
tired unto death of this eternal
paternalism of the company.
''The company men do not want
baths so much as they want
enough money to get food for
themselves and their families
with.
eff they want baths, they want
those baths in their own homes,
where their families can use them,
not in club rooms erected by the
company.
Let. the company forget about
its improvements and pay the
men a living wage; then the men
will provide their own baths.
81 tell you, too, that when a
street car man comes in from an
eighteen-hour run he does not
want bath so much as he wants
something to eat and good long
sleep"
Mahon also objected to the
graded scale plan Of the com
pany.
"Under that plan" he said cit
