CHICAGO, March 14. (Special Telegram.)
The beet m car men of tba west, repre
senting $100,000,000 of capital, are organ
ising to fight tha Sugar trust, or A mar Ira a
Bugar Refining company. Tha first step
were taken thla attornoon at a meeting of
tba stockholder of tba Idaho Beet Sugar
company In tha Home Ufa Insursnc
building, Laaalla street. '
Ex-Congressman J,, Hamilton Lewis of
Washington, who Is president of tba Idaho
company an4 le. tald. .to be elated for tba
presidency of .tha so-called "Sugar Beet
trust," arrrvec today from Seattle and was
seen at tba Auditorium Annex. Ha was
asked regarding tba report of. consolida
tion, i V .
"It la true," he said; "that a plan for tba
reorganisation oi the1 beet augar companies
of tha west la well under way,, but the mat
tar la not, Is Shape, to discuss.".
"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. If
you Ilka, call It' 'truat against trust'"
from other sources; It waa learned .'that
during the next fortnight representatives
of most of tha western beet augar men will
meet in thla city to take final step In re
organisation ana consolidation in n new
company. . .
The name will probably ba tha American
Beet Sugar compact, .end tba capital will
bo $10,000,000, or about one-tenth of tha
combined stock issue pt the subsidiary
concern, Miohlgan-eompantes, tba Idaho
company, tha Colorado Beat Sugar com
pany.. aoj nearly all othara of equal im
portance are aald to- ba In tba deal.
Tba part that tba "beet sugar king," Ox
nard. wilt play la tba consolidation, la
largely a, matter of goes. He la supposed
to ba a large folder of the stock In tba
western companies, but always keeps wall
under cover. While ha will probably not
ba present at tha series of meetings which
started today, none the las It la understood
v among tba sugar company official that ba
ta back of tha proposed conspiration. '
According to -these informants, a great
battle with the Havemeyer company la com
ing. Beet sugar, they maintain, ran be
manufactured cheaper than tba cafee pro

Mr. Mcintosh resumed hi address at 1:80
Friday morning. :
: "The great object la." aald he, "to let the
eorporetiona once Into the groove of paying
their taxes the name aa other concern and
Individual; then they will stay there. 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,

future they're thinking of. That account
for the splendid array of legal talent on
the aide of the respoadents. Once get them
up to that 40 par cent basis "
"Do yon think that I, a referee, ahould
go Into that matter 40 per cent of tha
fair cash -value t" asked Judge Ryan.
"I think It proper for you to go into the
fact of the 40 per cant basis," anawerd Mr.
Mcintosh
"I hardly think the court expect me to
go"lnto thl matter of the manner and
method ef assessing corporation and re
port by April 15." .

report would be a misfortune.
"Do I understand that the 40 per cent
basis Is a custom here?'
"Not a custom - la the Jegat aense, your
honor," Interposed Attorney Moreman, "be
cause It la In violation of the statute."
Fatt, Nad a Caataas.
"I don't claim It' a custom," answered
Mr. Mcintosh. "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. One of. their .duties waa to alt

assessment and heat complaints. This they
have failed to do. .To this extent they have
violated their oath ot office. It la not
enough te Say that they heard aome com

hear any complaint.' 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. They
would be defeating the will of the people
In a no less flagrant mannet' than tbla
Board of Equalisation has done.
"There has been a great fleal aald about
the relator having remedy at law which

edy of mandamus.- But the statutes say we
cannot resort to .mandamus when- we have
a clear and adequate remedy In seme other

"But my friend aay ..tho law says you

la not an assessing board; It's on squalls

Mr. Webater interrupted the. speaker 4o
ay: ' ' '
"Then It thl tax commissioner has vio

"He baa not violated any law," answered
Mr. Mcintosh. "The statute which defines
the prerogative of tax commissioner in
this respect I directory, -not mandatory.
The language clearly establishes .that
point." . , . i
. "Why didn't you ask to have the corpora
tions assessed at their fair cash value in

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.

expressed their determination to apply tor
their old Job tonlorrow.
