ed Theodore 2. ShOnts, president OF
the Interborough Rapid Transit Co,
and it was said proposed to him a
plan evolved for the peaceable ad-
justment of the present differences.
Mr.. Shonts, it was learned, inform
ed the committee that he would re
fuse positively to meet representa-
tives of the strikers. He said that
even if he were disposed to treat with
the strikers, he could not do so be
cause the 1000 loyal employees of his
company, which made possible the
continuation of the traffic of the sub
way and elevated railways, had threat
ened to strike if the InterborOugh
Company recognized the carmen's
union.
In the meantime a meeting Of the
central conference committee Of the
strikers was held to count the strike
vote of those organizations which al
ready had voted. Ernest BOhm, sec
retary of the Central Federated
Union, announced at the close Of the
meeting that communications had
been received from three morgan
lied groups Of employees in three

BIDDlNGER MUST COME TO CHI.
TO STAND TRIAL
With States Attorney Hoyne's re-
turn to Chicago last night was news
that the New York federal court de-
, cided yesterday that Guy Biddinger
will have to come back to Chicago
for trial Biddinger's lawyer said he
would take the appeal TO U. S. su-
preme court.
Chicago crime trust operations
were familiar to Biddinger and he
would unravel many mysteries If he
ever turned states evidence, it is said.
The charges Hoyne seeks to try Bid
dinger on are bribery and running a
confidence game.
Private detective circles as well as
the regular police are following Bid
dinger's case with keen interest.
After he quit as police sergeant, Bid
dinger operated the photographs on
which, the so-caIled "dynamiters" of
the structural irOnwofkers' union
were convicted.
If Hoyne's evidence of bribery and
fraud should stand up and Biddinger
be- convicted, organized labor would
claim it backs up the labor charge
that Biddinger worked a frame-up on
the men now in Leavenworth.
