Saturday of this week or Sunday or Mon
day Of the following week are the dates
upon which the conference will be held.
The fact that only the Progressive

probability, participate in this confer
ence, and that II, in line with the rad
icaI ideas of the Senator from Iowa. was
believed to possess More trouble for the
G. o. p. by politicians here. This was
made ali the more evident by the fact
that such radicals as Senators Works OF

with others of a Ike stripe. will partici-
pate in the conference.

TRANSFERS VOTE TO QUIT

Buffalo, May 7.-As a result of the dis
orders that marked the express and
delivery mems strike today, Mayor Fuhr-
mann tonight authorized the chief Of
police to swear in 500 more policemen in
addition to the 800 called today. He hopes
TO control the situation. and says he
does not believe it will be necessary to
call out the militia.
The trouble developed first when a
crowd of about 100 strikebreakers arrived
from New York and Philadelphia.
Strikers and ssympathizers attacked them
and their police escort, and the police
were obliged to bring their revolvers into
play before the strikebreakers were got
ten safely into their hotel The crowds
then gave their attention to the few
wagons in operation. which they attacked
and overturned in the streets. Later, the
express companies managed to move a
few wagons. under heavy police escort.
The express drivers strike makes il i'm
possible to receive such freights as vege-
tables, and is causing much discomfort.
Tcmnsters to Strike.
The clerks and drivers of the depart
mfnt stores are still out About >, 400 peo-
pie are involved. Today some of the de-
partment stores attempted to make de-
lverias putting in strikebreakers and
policemen on the wagons, but this brought
about several clashes with strike sympa-
thizers, who pelted the wagons with all
sorts of missiles.
Tonight the teamsters voted to call a
strike, and this will tie up practically
every bit of vehicle traffic in the city and
make deliveries impossible Several thou
sand men will be involved.
The union bakers in this city are now
out.
