WAGE SCALE CONTENTION
IS DENIED BY DA|RYMAN
Labor Union Committee Reports In
ability to Settle Sharon
Differences.

OF the seventeen milk wagon drivers
and helpers employed by the Sharon
Dairy who are members of Milk Driv-
ers' Local. No. 10. seven walked out
this morning. according to Ed Toone
of the Central Labor Union and four
according to Corbin Thompson. the
proprietor.
This action followed meeting of
the Central Labor Union last night,
when its adjustment committee report
ed that it had been unable amicably
to settle the differences between Mr..
Thompson and the men. The drivers
some OF them are paid less than Sl2 a
week. The scale Of the local union
calls for a minimum weekly wage of
SIS and 1 per cent of all cash turned in
Mr.. Thompson stated this morning
that but two drivers and two helpers
have quit and that the othsrs remain
in their places and have severed their
connection with the union.
None Paid Less Than $12.
He also denied the wage scale con-
tention, saying that there is no set
scale, the wages running from sl2 to
SIS week; that none of his men are
paid less than s12 a week under any
circumstances. and they are paid in
proportion to their ability to get BUSH
ness and make collections
The men themselves have made no
demands, he said. but the local union
did submit an agreement to which he
had been unable to accede. Four of his
employees would not sign a contract he
had prepared for them and went out.
Mr.. Tome states that the question
was put up to the international union
and it replied by telegraph order
ing the strike. which was concurred in
by the Central Labor Union.

"FdU0rite. Sons" Train Guns
For Elimination of Huqhes


CHICAGO, June 6.-PoliticaI leaders
man for the presidential nomination
who is able to command the support OF
both republicans and progressives are
trying today to determine whether
Justice Hughes has been strengthened
or weakened by the temporary concen-
tration of all forces upon him with
the avowed purpose of eliminating Col.
Roosevelt as republican possibility.
Gnquestionably the effect of the
Hughes drive has been to place the
whole field of candidates against him.
Conferences between republican and
progressive leaders which lasted far
into the night were resumed early to-
day. but it was not believed that any
of them had proceeded far enough to
clarity the situation within the next
several hours. At least for that length
of time no decided change seemed i'm
minent
Lodge Possible Compromise
The two latest elements to be
brought into consideration today were
yesterday touching upon Americanism
and discussion of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts as compromise candi
date for the republican nomination
likely t" command the support of Col.
Roosevelt
Justice Hughes supporters pointed
to his speech as substantial declara-
ton on the question of Americanism.
and commended that il cleared up the
only issue on which the justice had
not previously announced his attitude
They contended that his public ut
ferances before he went on the ST.
preme Court bench made clear his po-
s1t1on on all other paramount issues
ana That fnasmuCh as the question of
Amerlcanism has arisen since he. went
into the seclusion of the court a state
ment on that subject was the only
thing to he desired. Those opposed to
the Justice characterized his speech
as only list of platitudes
Many of the latter charged that the
speech was carefully timed for the
present occasion, but the friends of the
Justice met that by pointing out that
MS engagement to sneak was made
several weeks ago. and that the sub
Ject fitted the occasion. which was the
presentation Of flag to graduates OF
a girls school

Senator Borah's Estimate.

SendCof Bofan Est1Inate.
Here Is estimate of the situation
by Senator Borah, whose Affiliations
with both factions of the republican
party entitle his judgment to consider
alton as that of a neutral:
There are two candidates in the eyes
of the convention, Hughes and Roose-
Welt There is a dead line. which is
being rapidly approac hed. when a de
cision must be made between them. one
of them must give way. The decision
will be reached after wise counsel and
due consideration to all clements which
will make for the success of the re-
publican party at the polls in Novem-
ber"
While he has not so announced II Is
the belief that Senator Borah thinks
Hughes is more favorably regarded as
the man who will make the best run at
the polls than Roosevelt

Think Speech Unimportant.

The practical politicians on the other
hand. almost unanimously held to the
We" that the speech was without
sienlhcance in the present situation
lneS said it was the sort of speech
expected from a scholarly man on such
an occasion: that it meant neither one
tning nor another. Some of them de-
ciared the words of the Justice were
not unlike what President Wilson or
COL Roosevelt might have been expect
Cd To say under similar circumstances
Ihey made it plain that they regarded
tne speech as negligible quantity in
me present situation. Nevertheless ii
furnished the subject for a great deal
OF discussion both ways among the
delegates. and there were evidences
mat IT would continue to be a topic of
interest.
Almost overshadowing the maneuver-
ing among the republicans today is the
question OF what the progressive con-
Ventlon will do when it assemblies to-
morrow The republican leaders re-
gard II as charged with possibilities of
the most potent sort. On every hand
tney expect tremendous demonstra-
tion for Col. Roosevelt. despite efforts
IN some quarters to hold back nom
nation until the republicans have in
created their purpose and there has
been opportunity for further confer
ences between the two factions

Weeks Men Grow Hopeful.

Senator John Weeks stock rose here
last night in the midst of one of the
loudest hotel demonstrations along
Convention row. After a terrific day of
battling against the greatest mystery
that has confronted republicans since
Lincoln's time. there suddenly arose a
feeling of confidence on the part of the
Massachusetts mans supporters which
almost amounted to an assurance-that
is. as far as assurances go in this gam
