ham to help him break down the
1,400 strikers.
Thompson and Chief Schuettler
passed out the high-hande6 order
calling every policeman in Chicago
of his beat and putting them at the
service of Upham. This was later
rescinded when First Deputy West
brook in an impassioned plea point
ed out to them the foolhardiness of
this order. But not one of. the mem
bers of the controlled press mention
ed this order.
The strike now stands this way:
The men have returned to work un-
der tentative agreement. The Chi
cago Contracting Team Owners
assn, a rival of the Chicago Team
Owners assn, has signed an agree
ment with the men, which grants
them so cents a day increase. This
assures the big coal firms of wagons
and men with which to handle the
coal if they care to take advantage
of them. But Boss Upham and 9TH
ers, who are said to be interested in
the Chicago Team Owners assn,
say they will plunge Chicago into a
new strike by refusing to recognize
this agreement.
Those !, 400 teamstefs showed Chi
cago what union labor can do when
they have suffered abuses and go
about correcting them in a cool, clear
way. The newspapers are bowling
that they gave the bosses no chance
to settle. Past experience, according
to the leaders, have taught them that
parleying gives the bosses a chance
to line up strikebreakers and get the
police dept properly distributed to
take care of their deliveries.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
MATERIAL SCARCE
AT P. R. R. SHOPS
Inspectors Scour Country TO
Find Relief; Coal Supply
Also Decreasing

Scarcity of material is another seri-
Gus condition facing the Pennsylvania
Railroad officials. The Company has
ten experienced material men securing
the United States for all kinds of mate
rial, including brass, copper, steel and
iron. a representative from the gen.
eral offices at Philadelphia, here to-
day said: THE scarcity of material
is worrying the officials more than the
probability of a strike"
Important work including the con-
struction of engines and cars is being
held up because of no material. Unless
there is some relief soon some of the
shops may have to close down for
short periods. The material inspectors
who are out on a securing tour are
visiting every town where there is an
iron, brass or steel plant. The Pennsy
representative here to-day said:
Must Get Material
I'VE must have material. No mat
ter where it is to be had the Pennsyl-
Nania Railroad Company is ready to
place orders. / have been at a dozen
places within three days and have
managed to get line on some mate
rial. The smallest plants will be kept
busy night and day if they are in n
position to take an order from the
company
Coal scarcity is also growing worse.
The large supply stored at Enola,
York and Marysville has been de-
creasing daily and the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is tackling big coal
piles at other places. A dispatch from
Altoona says:
Work will be started at once load
ing the 10000 tons of bituminous coal
stored more than a year ago by the
Pennsylvania Railroad at South AL
toona. 1t will be delivered along the
system wherever needed. This coal cost
the company something more than 81
a tom To-day it is worth $3.50 to
$3.50 a ton. The company will save
approximately S150.O00 on the deal.
The coal was stored when indications
pointed to a strike of miners prior TO

spring"
