WASHINGTON, May 7. (Special.) "The
Lord above and Steve Elklns alone know
how long the railroad rate inquiries will
continue," said Senator Clapp, when asked
to the prospect of an early wlndup of
the hearings before the senate Interstate
commerce committee. "The Lord is not a
member of the committee and Steve El
klns wsn't tell. The present Indications
are that tha sessions of the committee will
centime until the weather becomes too
warm to hold us here any longer."
The committee sits for Ave hours each
day and the stenographers are busy with
their notea until far Into tha night. The
testimony promises to add several tons
of "Utefature" to the publications which
encumber the shelves of the publlo libraries
throughout the country and the executive
offices here.
These exhaustive hearings serve one pur
pose In any event. Few people ever con
sult tha volumes, but the employes of the
government printing office are always de
lighted when congress authorises them be
cause it means continuous work for the
printers during the dull months of the
summer and no "furloughs." An idea ol!
the uselessness of the labor and expense
of reporting and publishing these books
can be gained from the fact that tha deal
era in second hand books offer the hand
some sum of II for the nineteen volumes
of the report of tha Industrial commission.
The report comprises nineteen volumes,
averaging 600 pagea eaoh.
Shlppera Object to Regulation.
The present hearing has developed the
tact that many shippers as well as the
railroad managers themselves prefer that
the companlea rather than the Interstate
Commerce commission make the rates.. But
the strangest outcome thus far is a com
munlcatlon from Atlanta, Ga. It seems
that the Georgia railroad commission re
cently proposed to reduce the passenger,
rate In Georgia from 8 to 2 cents per mile.
This proposition brought an Immediate pro
test from the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, the Order ot Railway Con
ductors and unions of tha blacksmiths,
machinists and telegraphers, bollermakers,
railway trainmen, carpenters and Joiners,
clerks and car men. These organizations
employed an attorney especially to repre
sent them, who urged that such a reduc
tion would work against the prosperity of
the state and lead to a reduction in the
number of railroad employes aa well as of
their wages. Tha Travelers' Protective aa.
r elation also protested that a reduction
as proposed would result in fewer trains
and poorer service.
Tha railroad rate regulating proposition
and relative legislation promises to occupy
more time in both houses of congress next
winter than any other subject. Already it
Is known that no leas' than twenty-five bills
are in course of preparation and there may
be double that number ready to drop Into
the box on the first day of the next ses
sion.
Bidders Content with Less.
Jamea Knox Taylor, supervising arch!
tect of the treasury, under whose Jurisdic
tion coma all the public buildings of the
United Btates, expresses great surprise over
the fact that bidders for publlo work
demonstrate a tendency to accept smaller
profits each year. "In spite of tha well
known fact," said Mr. Taylor today, "that
all grades of building material have risen
in price within the past few years, and not.
withstanding the tendency to pay higher
wages to all grades of skilled artisans, es
pecially those in the building trades, the
tendency of prices for the government work
has been decidedly downward during the
past few years. That is to say," continued
Mr. Taylor, "that a building which coat
the government 1100,000 six or seven yeara
ago can be duplicated today at a consider
able saving. The reason for this strange
state of affairs no one can explain, except
it be that machinery is entering more and
more into the manufacture of bulldlug ma.
terial."
Wanted, a Good Mna. .
Ona ot tha president's first Important
duties when he reaches Washington will
be the selection of a purchasing agent for
the Panama Canal commission. At the
present time this place la occupied by
Major Gallagher, an army officer of tha
highest standing. Major Gallagher, bow.
ever, was educated at West Point and
perhaps over-careful In hla movements. In
any event he is to be segregated from tha
commission and a civilian iii to be ap
pointed to the place. Aa stated in these
dispatches a few days ago the president la
determined to secure the services of the
best available man for this Important
place. Naturally be looks to the railroads
to supply the man. In this ha has tha

but also ot Colonel Clarence R. Edwards,

Colonel Edwards realizes that a man who

of supplies for a great railroad corporation
Is Infinitely better qualified to fill a like
position for the government than a man

Inasmuch as the president has tha power
to fix the salary of such an officer ha will
be able to make an attractive proposition
to a suitable man, which is unusual In
governmental afraira. It has frequently
been .noted that the most Important po
sitions under the government are the poor
est paid. A man for instance, who occupies
tha position of comptroller of tha currency
at 16,000 per annum for a year or two haa
no difficulty In obtaining a connection with
a bank or a truat company at from 10,000
to $60,000 per annum when hla term expiree.
In fact, there la not a man living today
who haa held an Important position in tha
Treasury department who la not receiving
at least double tha salary . from a private
corporation that ho waa paid for hla serv
ices to tha federal government.
There are a score of available men for
this particular position whose aervicea may

The other passengers,- of whom there

pressly provides that all other property
shall be assessed at lta market value. This
rule Is rigidly enforced on assessors by the
board and the attorney general, and there
Is no reason, It Is said, why the railways
should be exempted from such a rule,
especially in view of the contention that
the corporate properties are In reality
units, susceptible only of valuation as such.
Governor Mickey and Treasurer Mortensen
are now- taking the lead In adopting the
theory that they are really units, and as
such property assessable on the market
value, which they are seeking to determine
from the New York quotations. In these
computations the weekly reports of Dunn
and other financial agencies will be con
sulted. This is the first time that the tax
ing body has ever frankly resorted to sucb
data as an aid to the assessment.
Much is anticipated from the influence
of the governor. He is taking the lead in
the Investigations and the completed work
of the board will embody much of hla atudy.
It Is known that he Is particularly dl
pleased with the attitude of the railways
which brought the suits in an effort to
deter tho board from making a fair as

CinCAOO. May 7.-This week will either
bring an end to the teamsters' strike in
Chicago or else one of the worst industrial
upheavals in the history of the city. The
present trouble, which has lasted for two
weeks, has reached a point where the busi
ness men Involved in the difficulty appear
to have gained a decided advantage, and
tha teamsters appear now to be in a posi
tion where they must either yield or decide
to extend the strike by calling out thou
sands of other workmen engaged in affili
ated uniona. This the strike leaders up to
the present time have refrained from doing.
while on the other hand the business men
today made preparations which. If carried
out successfully tomorrow, would indicate
that the teamsters will be compelled to
surrender or call on the other unions for
assistance.
The Chicago Federation of Labor, tha
central body for all the unions In the city,
met today, but took no action looking to an
extension of the trouble. A great deal of
Incendiary talk was Indulged In, but noth
ing definite, with the exception of the pass
ing of resolutions charging the Employers'
association with conspiracy and asking that
the state'a attorney start an Investigation
of their business methods, was decided
upon.
Start Thousand Wunrona.
Commencing tomorrow morning tha busi
ness men will Increase their efforts to bring
the strikers to terms. Arrangements have
been made by every house Involved in the
trouble to at least double their force ot
nonunion men' during the day. Tonight It
was said that all preparations had been
made to start out 1.000 wagons manned by
nonunion men. Each of these wagons will
be guarded by deputy sheriffs or policemen,
and each one of these men haa received ex
plicit instructions from their superior offi- '
cers to prevent disturbances of any kind
whatever In the streets, such as were wit
nessed last week. Instructions of each ot
the deputy sheriffs and each of the police
men Is to use every peaceable means in
their power to quiet the rioters, but if this
means proves unsuccessful to use their ra .
volvera and use them to kill. ,

Today the seven express companies made
deliveries in all parts of tha city. Eaoh
of the wagons carried two armed guards
and In not a single instance, it waa asserted
tonight, had any of the wagons met with
opposition. During the meeting of the
Federation ot Labor several of these
wagons passed and repassed unmolested

the meeting.
Replenish Coal Supply,
During the day several of the flrme in
volved In the strike sucoeeded In replenish
ing their coal supply, which In many cases
had dwindled down to nearly nothlni:. Al)
these coal wagons were driven' by non
union teamsters, but no opposition waa met
with on the part of strikers and their
friends. This waa rather an agreeable sur
prise to the employers, who had anticipated
trouble, .and is pointed out by them as aa
indication that the strikers are losing
heart and are about ready to surrender.
"Who would have thought last week,
when the atreeta were full of rioters," said
Mark Morton, president of the Employers'
Teaming company, "that coal could be de
livered in the downtown district while this
strike Is on without precipitating a fight.
Fifteen of our wagona were engaged all
day today In this work and not the slightest
objection was offered by the strlkera or
their friends. We had expected trouble
and had prepared ourselves for it and the
attitude ot tha strikers waa a complete
surprise to us. Of course we are pleased
that they have at last taken this view of
the matter and we sincerely believe that
It presages victory for our side, for if the
strikers Intended to continue the struggle '
any length ot time they would certainly
never allow the boycotted firms to secure
coal without offering some sort of opposi
tion." The Employers' association, through Its
chief counsel. Levy Mayer, announced to
night that it would do everyiil.g In Its
power to assist the comp-Jttee appointed
yesterday by Mayor Dunne to Investigate
the causes of the strike. Charges of con
spiracy by both sides was the reason given
by Mayor Dunne for tho appointment of
the investigating committee. President Shea
of the Teamsters' union also said that the
unions would be found ready to assist tha
mayor'a committee in every manner possi
ble to bring to light all the facts concern
ing the difficulty.
Get Back at Banks.
The Chicago Federation of Labor today
at its regular meeting decided on two
measures touching the teamsters' struggle
against the employers. One Is to withdraw
labor union funds from the banks which
subscribed to the (60,000 fund to aid the
employers, and to urge the individual mem
bers to do likewise.
The other la to attempt to secure the
indictment ot the Employers' association
on a charge of conspiracy against certain
team ownera.
Levy Mayer, chief counsel for tha Em
ployers' association, and Charles S. Darrow,
the chief legal adviser of Mayor Dunne,
had a long conference tonight, the nature
of which was guarded carefully, but whlcli
waa believed to pertain to plana for a set
tlement of the strike. Neither of tha par
ticipants would speak of the matters that
were under consideration, but Mr. Darrow
at tho close of the Interview said that aa
a close friend of organized labor ha waa
anxious to have peace brought about and
was willing to do all In his power to bring'
about a settlement.
Tha peace committee of the Chicago Team
Owners' association will renew Its efforts
tomorrow to bring about an adjustment of
the strike. This committee will confer with
President Shea in the morning and later
will meet with a number of the employers.
