C'ldenKo, June 14. Tho tenmstora'

said, n history of tho secret transac
tions of labor unions In Chicago for
tho past four years vti bo made pub
lic, and thai the Information will im
plicate many labor lenders whom, It Is
iissoitoil, have accepted bribes to call
off striken. The man who in expected
to i;lvo thin Information Is John C.
Drlscoll,, former secretary of the Conl
Team Owners' association, who has
boon tho intermediary between the
employers nml the teamsters' unions
in this rlty for tho past four years.
Drlscoll says ho will appear before
the Brand Jury with documentary evi
dence showing that several labor lead
ens have been recelvliiK larm sums of
money throiiKh Drlscoll, which, It Is
declared, the employers were forced
to pay to prevent their employes beliiR
called out on strike. Tho method
used by Drlscoll, nccordlng to his own
statements, was this: An employer,
or nu organization of employers, who
was affected by n strike or who wero
likely to be, would call nml ask him
to use his liillucncc to brliiK about an
adjustment or the difficulty. Tho fees,
according to Drlscoll, paid the union
men. ranged from $100 to thousands of
dollars, the agin'ORate being estimated
by him at $80,000.

locality four hills repealing nidi
nances granting street car companies
the rit'.ht to use no miles of street to
lay Hacks without the city receiving
