CHICAGO STRIKE OFF.
Continued from Page ~

Continued from Page ~
The other arbitrators have not yet
been named.
The strike was remarkable in that
no violence was traced to n striker, no
arrests were necessary and for the
good humor with which the public
accepted 1t.
Peace in the strike of $4,000 street
car men was restored at a.. M
The end of the strike which has
tied up electric transportation for two
days, came with the selection of Mayor
William Hale Thompson as the third
member of a BOARD of arbitration the
main question at issue. Officials of
the companies will select an arbitrator
by Saturday, it was announced. w D.
Mahon, international president of the
street car mems union probably will
be named 10 represent the men.
Peace After Long WraneIc.
The selection of Mayor Thompson
came at the end of a fifteen hour
conference which began at 2:3O
O'Clock yesterday afternoon Union
leaders, officials of the traction lines
and the mayors aldermanic strike
committee were in attendance. Threat
ened break up was frustrated after
both labor leaders and traction of
ficials announced they could reach no
agreement when Mayor Thompson in
Vited the conferees to take off their
coats. The mayor then locked the
doors of his offices. He told the men
that he would keep them there until
a solution of the situation was
reached.
The mayor took gold horse shoe
from his desk and hung it over his
desk clock.
Horse Shoe For Good Luck
That was given to me for good
luck" he said, 80 I'm going to wish
that it brings good luck
After heated discussion on the
question of selecting third arbitrator,
Leonard A Busby, president of the
Chicago surface lines, mentioned the
name of Mayor Thompson. Names of
scores of prominent men previously
suggested mad been thrown into the
discard.
The committee representing the
street car men, headed by w. D.
Mahon, retired with his associates to
another room to consider the proposal
of accepting Mayor Thompson. Within
ten minutes they returned.
Thompson Is Accepted.
We'll take him. was the simple
announcement that electrified the
weary group of men. Hand clapping
and cheering echoed through de-
Mayor Thompson unlocked the doors
of his office, the labor leaders put
on their coats and marched out, their
faces wreathed- in smiles

Sessions of the board of arbitration
probably will be started early next
week, it was announced. The plan de-

any advance concessions having been
made.

Greatest Opportunity in History.
''In all history no such opportunity
has ever come to any other nation as
that which is destined to come to the
United States. In all history no other
peacemaker has ever been in position
to claim as rich a blessing as that
which will be pronounced upon our
president when the time for mediation
comes-as come 1T must"
Introducing his statement Mr..
Bryan graphically describes the hor-
rors and Affections of the war, and
says:
Neutral nations cannot look on
with indifference-the ties that bind
them are too strong. the relationship
too intimate. This is especially true
of the United States. We have COM
posite popuiation-every nation of Eu-
rope having contributed literally to
our citizenship. These our country
men. themselves born abroad or i'm
mediately descendent from foreign
born ancestors, cannot but take a live
ly interest in the conduct as well as
in the results of the war and a still
larger circle shares the concern of
those directly connected Not a SOL
row expressed in his home finds an
echo at some fireside in the United
States
Aside from sentimental considera-
tons, Mr. Bryan asserts neutral ma
tions suffer serious disturbance be-
cause of the war.
Nearly every neutral nation finds
new domestic problems thrust upon it
and old problems made more diff
cult" he declares mo American
citizen can note without deep concern
the manner in which war questions
have intruded themselves into our
tics-overshadowing economic is
sues and stimulating agitation in favor
of enlarged appropriations for mill
tary and naval purposes
At some length Mr.. Bryan refers
to Interruptions to neutral commerce,
arrangement of business and conse-
scarcity of American ships as one of
greatest embarrassments to the United
States.
1.-The neutral nations are put to
great expense to preserve neutrality
and are constantly in danger of being
embrCiled in the war without inten-
ton or fault on their own part" he
declared.
THE rules of international law seem
to have been made for the nations
at war. rather than for the nations at
peace. 1t is almost impossible to alter
these rules during the war, because
any material cnanSe, aIIectlng as 1t
would the interests of tho belliger-
ents, would be q seeming violation of
neutrality.
"As soon as peace returns, there will
be a demand for an international con-
ference on the subject. The presump-
ton should then be given to peace, for
peace, not war, is the normal condi-
ton. If nations are determined to
fight, they should, as far as possible
bear the burden themselves, and not
be permitted to transfer it TO the ma
tons which avoid war by resorting to
reason instead of force"

Forty Thousand Harvesters
VIII Advance NOrthward.
They Will Cross Kansas, Put
ting Up Wheat as They Go.
RAILROADS GATHER THEIR CARS
Concentrate Equipment fol
Shipping Big Wheat Crop.
Prison Plant Sends Out Large
Irvine Shipment to Farms.

Kansas energies are being concen-
trated on the harvest 'front.' FOR
several months the railways, the
farmers and state, county and munich
pal officials have been cooperating TO
the end that the wheat crop of the
state may be handled more rapidly
and more efficiently than ever before.
Nine hundred local correspondents
in every locality in the grain belt have
been keeping z. G. Hopkins, in charge
of the state free employment bureau,
in touch with the needs of their vicin-
tiles, including the equipment, number
of men, cooks and teams required.
The most recent estimates available
indicate that Kansas needs SO, 600 har-
vest hands, 1,O40 cooks and $500
men with teams. Names of the farm
ers and the number of hands each re-
quires also have been obtained and,
according to the plan adopted this
year, the men will be moved from
farm to farm with the harvest. Paul
Mcbride, state commissioner of labor,
asserted today he believed preliminary
steps toward the mobilization of the
harvest hands are practically COM
plete.
Reports from the various CORE
spondents of the various state depart
Inents indicate that wheat cutting will
begin in some of the southern counties
of the state about June 20, although
most of the reports indicate a some
what later harvest, some of the north
ern counties reporting they will not
need men until July 1. 1t is planned
to have the harvesters start work in
the southern tier of counties, and
move as an army along a wide front,
gradually north until the grain in
northern Kansas and southern Ne
braska is harvested. The reports in
dictate that the farmers will pay cooks
from $3.50 to $3.50 a day, men with
teams will command from 81 to SIS,
while the ordinary harvest hands
wages will be about $3.50 a day.
In the last few days the railroads
of the state have attacked the harvest
traffic problem vigorously, concentrat-
ing all of their available rolling stock
in those localities where the cutting
will begin first. Northward cars are
being collected in diminishing num-
berS- Equipment also has been stored
at all of the principal railroad CEN
ters In the grain belt and numbers
of extra men have been employed that
there may be as little delay as pos
sible in the shipment of the grain once
it is harvested.
Nearly three million pounds of Irvine
have been shipped into the wheat belt
from the state prison at Leavenworth
TO supplement the binding Irvine
shipped into the state from manIfac-
turing concerns. This is being sold
to dealers at s7.75 a hundred pounds.
the state price being $1.25 below that
OF private concerns. So the state
prison board estimates that in using
the prison made Irvine wheat produce
ers of Kansas are saving $4,000 this
year.

vancedJ sharply today on account of I'M
favorable weather the southwest, with
predictions of frost in oNrth Dakota.

check on the bulls. Opening prices, which
ranged from ss@hc off to &c up, were
above last nights level all around.
Opinions that the winter wheat harvest,
taken as a whole, would be week later
than usual and that Hessian damage was
becoming more apparent brought further
gains, but a reaction took place as a re-
sule for advices that charters had been
made for four million bushels from North
Russia to France. The close nevertheless
was strong, 1k@21sc above last night.
CORN-Wet weather with prospects of
more, gave strength to. corn; The advance
in wheat helped to bring about decided

board emphasized bullish sentiment.
