expected by the strike leaders that
an adjustment of the difficulties will
be brought about today on a com
promise basis.
While neither side would give out
anything regarding the proposed bas-
is on which the strike may be ended,
there was rumor to the effect that
each side would make concessions
and a nine hour day would be fixed
for the operatives, who worked ten
hours daily before the strike and
who quit because their demand for
an eight hour day was refused by
their employers. This rumor could
not be verified, although 1t original.

to the belief that it had considerable
authenticity.
Yesterday most of the pickets OF
the strikers had been withdrawn
from the vicinity of the shoddy mills
and bat shops. There are few men
left on duty, however. and they will
remain until after the strike is set
tied.

shall be sought at the meeting OF tho
republican national committee at
Washington, the oath, looking tow
ard recognizing the party along
progressive lines" and as to whether
there shall be republican national
convention this year.

year drafted the letter urging Col.
Roosevelt to be a candidate for the

did you come to decision whet-
her there ought to be national con-
vention this year" Senator Cum
minis was asked.
1--WE did not decide on that, but
everyone seems to feel that the con
dition of the party seemed to neces-
state a convention this year. Our
informal talk today will be followed
by more formal conference tomor-
row, when former Gov. Hadley OF
Missouri will be here. We shall then
issue statement telling just what
we think ought to be done in be-

STEAMER RAMS ICEBERG
The chiltern Range Near Sharing
Fate of the Titanic

The fate of the Titanic was narrow
" escaped by the steamer Chiltern
Range in a collision with an iceberg
to the coast of the Newfoundland
banks on her voyage from Hull to
Montreal, where she arrived Sunday.
The steamer. British freighter, had
her bow plates badly denied by the
glanclng blow she struck the berg,
and only the fact that she luckily slid
off the ice mass and escaped contact
with any sharp section of the under
lying portion of ice saved her from
disaster in Capt. Rea's opinion.
The berg was struck in latitude
1853 north, longitude 44.40 west, in
the track of the ocean liners. but
some distance to the north and east
of the spot where the Titanic met
her fate. After the collision the
steamer was surrounded by icebergs,
which, although they could not be
seen, evidenced their presence by the
echoes that resounded from their tow
ering sides at every blast from the
steamer whistle. Those on board re
garded her escape from destruction
as nothing short of miraculous.
