"Will you fight the Sugar truat or eipect to be absorbdrr' . ',' "There Is V talk of merger Or absorp tion," declared' .tha. former congressman emphatically: "W will, fight tha trust.

They will then continue to pay their Just share of . tax from year to year. Tbl year It will only, make a difference o about $100, 000 in Uses to the corporation, but It'a the future they're thinking of. That account for the splendid array of legal talent on the aide of the respoadents.

"I claim It' a fact, in this case." Can you bring la the tax 'commissioner' order to that effect?" Mr. Mcintosh said he thought he could. "It would be a valuable piece of evi dence," aald the referee. "When the .members of the city council were elected aa' such," resumed Mr. Mcin tosh, "they took Aimn oath to perform their duty.

Tou might at well lay that a board of canvasser can throw out all ballot they - choose and ' thereby change the result ef the election.

CRISIS IS REACHED, BUT NOT PASSED Governor Craae Declares Settlement Will Be Reached; Boon, aa Cea aUtlaaa Are Gradually Be esnlai Eneoaraglng. BOSTON, March 14. The labor altuatlon In Boston tonight I extremely perplexing. To give weight to statements ot labor men who speak without authority and who aay that harmony Is not restored Is to make the outlook far. more critical than at any time since the allied freight transportation ouncll began Ita fight against tbe R. S. Brine Transportation company. On the other hand Governor Crane and the atate board of arbitration believe that the prob lem Is being solved quit rapidly, consid ering the immensity ot the strike, aad only ask for time and patience, from both la boring and business men to remove all ob stacle for a, resumption of freight traQlo under ordinary condition. Aa a matter of fact the strike was com paratively broken today.; Although troubles cropped out-In many , quarters, some of which were arranged with delay and other dragged along in. uncertain state, so that they came in for consideration bv the vari ous ' labor bodlea tonight. During these meeting Judging from what was argued by the men, independent strike of bodies seem Impending, ' but the leaders- in the strike Just ended are sanguine that they still hold control and will not again be obliged to order atrike of the freight' handlers or Its more serious aocompanyment, a sym patbetio strike of affiliated bodlea. V-mor row will 'show more clearly the conation In this respect. Men Rash for Old Flacea. The-special side of the strike breaking today presented an army of worklngmen rushing helter, skelter to get to their old position. There had been more than 20,000 places vacated, but fully ten per cent of the men found their places filled. This wss the reason tor friction all day, affect ing only the men themselves for concern Were too busy raising the. embargo on good In their keeping to give heed to talk ot unfairness. Freight began to move at docks, freight sheds, from and to whole, sal house and factories and upon the treeta and by night great Inroads had been made on the four day's- accumulation of goods. With the breaking of the strike employ er ot freight handlers, team driver, or lumpers, rushed Into print with calls for more help.' Even 'concerns which hereto fore have been bound to unionism seem to have grasped the opportunity of hiring whom they liked. It 1 on thl point of all others, that the critical phase of the situa tion tonight hangs. The real battle today wss between the men who control the strike and the representatives of great Interest who had been prevailed upon to consider certain propositions aa a way to a settle ment of the trouble. '' Governor a Mediator. As for tbe past it was Governor Crane, at his offioe In the statehouse, who stood between the parties at issue. The gov ernor received many delegation during the afternoon and by great exertion got to gether Prealdent John M. Hall of the New York, New Haven V Hartford railroad, . . . . . . . . . i n . U.Im. rresiaent luiue oi xxjhiuu . m.iu, . and Baronel Hoar, generar counsel-for. .t o'clock.' W. B. Chamberlain, general mitrpx nf tha -Mstarn division of the New 1 8" Haven road, also was admitted Into the executive chamber, i These gentlemen were with the governor tor an hour and a halt. In the meantime a number of tbe labor leader who had been holding conferences with the State Board of Arbitration at labor headquarters, arrived and were taken Into the council chamber. For an hour the governor had alternate In terviews between employer and employe. During these conferences Secretary Earley of tbe Civic federation came Into the wait ing room and saw the governor. He was accompanied by Frank P. Sargent of Cleve land, president of the Brotherhood ot Loc omotive Firemen, end George B. McNeill of thl elty. Mr. Earley said that he bad attended a meeting of the longshoremen during the afternoon and spoke there with Mr. Sar gent and Mr. McNeil, The meeting wa a - hot one, but at the close the men all voted' to sustain the officer and . return to work. The several conferences ended early thl evening, the men leaving. The governor granted an Interview with tbe newspaper men. He aald: The situation look very much more en couraging than last night. The railroad have all argeed to take back aa many men a possible without discrimination. As far aa the steamship lines are concerned. I un derstand the men have returned. The rail way companies will not consent to ais charge men whom they have hired la place ot the strikers, but they are well disposed toward the old men ana are anxious to take back aa many aa possible. The ques tion of loading and unloading of the teams, while it came up inciaeniauy toaay, was not -very much discussed. It will be taken up next week. ... Efforts ta Get Man Back. The governor further said that both Pres ident Tuttle and the Boston ft Albany offi ciate had used every effort to get the men back. At East Boston, where ninety ot the Boston ft Maine men went out, all had bean taken back. At tha same place, where 124 of the Boston ft Albany men went out 108 bad been given placea by the railroad com pany. In the case of tbe New Haven road, be aald, the company would be willing to take back as many possible, but the Question of requiring the men to lgn an agreement baa not yet been arranged. Judge Warren. A. Reed, chairman of the State. Board of Arbitration, at S p. m. said The altuatlon I much Improved. In East Boston tha Boston ft Maine road Is doing wall. Where eighty men went out seventy- nine came back. In fc-aJt Boston, on the Boston ft Albany- system, where 120 men want out lug can return. The raiwned re duction oh the Boston ft Albany system haf been arranged. The freight, handlers formerly employed by the New Tork, New Haven ft Hartford and tha Boston ft Albany roada after aa animated meeting,' voied not to return to work unless they were taken back In i body. '"The wool handler took similar ac tion. ; ,. " . ' ' ' ' The expressmen's union voted to go back tomorrow.' ' . ' . The freight handlers' of the Boston ft Maine, railroad voted to 'return In the morning,' but Inasmuch, aa the company has already a number of men at work In their place and la reported ae having tot new men to put on. It 1 not Just clear how many of the eld employe will succeed In regaining their positions. The member of O'Connell assembly. No. 714, Longshoremen s junlon, of Charleotown expressed their determination to apply tor their old Job tonlorrow. Tonight Needles Island assembly ot long shoremen formally voted to return te work. This action relieve all Knight ef Labor longshoremen from the atrike. . Mill Strike Beeoasee Geaeral. PROVIDENCE. R. I.. March 14.
