1t would now appear that what these

The workers are undeceived. One or
two of the leaders confess that the One
Big Union plan was sprung too early
on the unions. Two years later the idea
might have been carried through to VIC

WESTMINSTER LINE
STRIKE Is ENDED
Motormen and Conductors Ac-
cept Compromise on
Wage Demand.
NINE-HOUR DAY GRANTED
Not a Car Has Been Run Since
Men Went Out on
August 81.

Motormen and conductors Of the New
York. westchester and Boston Railway,
who have been on strike since August
81. returned to work this morning after
an agreement had been reached last
night by representatives OF the railway
company and the strikers in the rooms
Of the Public Service Commission.
The compromise settlement provides
that nine hours shall constitute a days
work, and the minimum wage agreed
upon was Sc for motormen, IS for motor
switchmen, 81 for helpers, SO for pas
senger conductors, $3.50 for freight con-
ductors and s4.0S for fiagmen and brake
men in freight service.
Before the conference last night the
representatives of the railway employees
were set in their determination to get
for the motormen $3.50 for 100 miles or
less and for the conductors Sc for $50
miles, which is the minimum rate paid
to the operators of electric cars on all
other roads where they are in use. But
they finally agreed to a SO minimum
wage for a nine hour day and claimed
victory as theirs.

POLICEMEN DISPEL
RUMORS OF UNION
Twelve Hundred Delegates at
Meeting Vote to Steer
Clear Of Federation.

designations.

The rumors that the New York police
were to organize union and seek affilia-
ton with the American Federation Of
Labor were definitely quieted yester-
day afternoon at a meeting of the Pa
trolmen's Benevolent Association in
Mennerchor Hall. in 2os East Fifty
sixth street.
The 1900 delegates who attended as
representatives OF the $500 patrolmen on
the force decided almost unanimously
to keep clear of labor bodies and make
an Independent fight for an increase in
salary of about 5000 year. A reso-
luton was adopted which calls for the
grading of the force into three classes
$1,000 for first year men, $1,000 for
second year and $4,000 thereafter. I'm
der the present system policeman must
serve five years before he receives a
salary Of $1,000.
During the early part of the meeting
several of the delegates demanded that
the police form a union and join the
A. F. of L.. but they were dissuaded by
Joseph p. Moran, president Of the asso-
citation.
The Patroimen's Benevolent Associa-
tion," said Moran, "is more powerful
and better able to take care of our in
terests than any labor body in the coun-
try. By seeking to better our condition
we must act wisely and not irrationally.
No labor body in this country can use
the same powerful force among our citi-
zens as this organization can. The peo-
pie are tired of movements led by labor
leaders. Our society can command the
respect OF the Mayor. the Commissioner
and the people"
The meeting also passed a resolution
which provided that II any OF the Of
f1cers of the association lose their Jobs
for honorable agitation the association
will pay their salaries until their rein
statement has been decided by high legal
authority.
Several striking instances Of how the
high cost of living has hit the cops were
brought out at the meeting. 1t was
charged that the city officials paved the
way for the last police recruit school to
secure loans from brokers In order that
they could meet the high prices de-
manded for clothing and other equip
ment.
Most Of the tailors who have been
furnishing new policemen with equipment
and clothing for their debut on the
force at instalment rates have been
forced to drop the scheme. This situa-
ton was brought about because nearly
200 new policemen in the last six months
have been forced 20 resign and declart
themselves without funds. The tailors

TROOPS PATROL CHARLOTTE.
Guards Seek to Prevent Renewal
of Car Riots.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Aug. 26.-State
troops and deputies patrolled the princi
pal streets of this city to-day in an effort
to prevent a renewal of rioting in con-
nection with the street car strike here,
which resulted last night in the death of
three men and the injury of twelve
others. Additional troops have been or
dercd TO Charlotte and should arrive dur
ing the day.
Strong guards have been thrown
around the car barns of the Southern
Public Utilities Company, where the riot
ing last night took place. The city hall
also was guarded by soldiers.
No effort was made to-day to operate
street cars. The service had been abon-
doned for two weeks and last night s
rioting followed efforts to operate cars
on some of the more important routes.

WINNIPEG, Aug. 2e.-The reflex ac-
ton of the strike is plainly visible in
this city. Building construction Is al
most at standstill. There Is urgent
need for new houses and other struc-
lures, but confidence is lacking among
the employers and investors on the one
side and the workers on the other.

the preliminary trials began. bail was
accepted and the men had their freedom.
Several Of them went East and made
speeches to their friends In a vain ef-
fort tp get funds to pay the costs Of
their own defence in the trials just
ahead. Doubt as to how they might
use the privilege again has been a factor
in the present instance. But there are
some indications that the Federal au-
thorities will relax their grip and per-
NIT the men to have their freedom
until their trial.
Four Await Deportation.
Four aliens are waiting deportation,
having been examined by the immigra-
ton authorities and found guilty of
activity In directions not proper for
aliens. Under the amendment to the
immigration act passed at the last ses-
sion of Parliament, the department now
has power to deport any one. other than
Canadian born, who has been guilty of
sedition in the sense of agitation, or of
working in the direction of changing the
existing social and economic order. The
department OF immigration however, has
decided to try the English and Scots
men under charge before the courts and
not take advantage of the special pro-
| vision of the law. The right of sum-
mary deportation, such as exists In the
United States and Canada with the I'M
| migration authorities. is an extreme au-
| thority, they believe, that should only
| be used under grave circumstances.
| Associated with It Is the power Of the
| Secretary of State to revoke the natur-

declared unworthy by the Secretary. II
