The general committee of train unions has served notice on employers that unless wages are Increased within a fortnight a strike of all union workmen throughout the republic will be called. This would tie up railroads, steamship lines and many public service corporations. SITUATION IN CUBA,. SANTIAGO, June 1. Messengers from the zone of revolution today brought word that Gen. Estenoz's column of rebels was still near Alta Garcia, where the properties of the Spanish-American Iron company are located, but that the rebels were avoiding open battle. Their evident aim Is to pursue a gurilla warfare. One band of rebels attacked the village of Bayate, where there is a big Swedish colony, but no casualties among foreigners are reported. ; The rebels burned several houses and drove off a quantity of livestock. A number of Swedes immigrated to that section from Minnesota. They have appealed for aid to the .American government. Residents of a number of villages in the Guantanamo valley have fled upon the approach of insurgents. Most of them sought refuge in Guantanamo City. Two Americans, named Collister and ."Wheeler, have been seized by negro irebels on their ranch near Eaiquari and are held for ransom.

EXPECT RIOTS By WAITERS WALKOUT Unique Strike in New York City Causes Alarm to . Hotel Managers. (National News Association) NEW YORK, June 1. With 3,728 waiters and cooks on strike at 33 hotels and restaurants and the war between the hotelmen and their employers spreading rapidly, fear was expressed today that race riots would be i. the. outcome, of the employers efforts to bring into this city a brigade of negro waiters to serve as strikebreakers. The situation became more menacing today when the strike leaders declared that unless the unions were recognized a sympathetic walkout of hotel trades-unions would be ordered. These include engineers, firemen, clerks, electricians, mechanics, upholsterers, cabinetmakers and musicians. If this movement were made nationals it would demoralize the hotel business of the country. The hotel managers defied the waiters to call a sympathetic strike and served notice that the strikers would be fought to a finish. They asserted that 1600 colored waiters now on their way from Baltimore and other Southern points would be given permanent positions and that the striking waiters would have no opportunity to return to work after they once quit. Financial secretary Blochlinger, of the union, replied to this ultimatum thus: "Negotiations are now under way to bring about an affiliation between the International Hotel Workers' Union and the American Federation of Labor. Such an affiliation would insure a sympathetic strike and a complete victory for the union." ; Blochlinger also threatened to have all of the waiters and cooks out of 300 New York hotels and eating places before the strike in full blast reaches its climax. The managers of the hotels, alarmed by the rapid spread of the strike today began advertising for strong, nervy guards, who will be used in protecting such strikebreakers as may be employed in the fight. On the other hand, the strikers, encouraged by a monster' mass meeting last night, at which Rose Pastor Stokes stirred as many of 6,000 union men as could crowd into Bryant hall, while the remainder remained m the ...sidewalks and repeated the cheering inside, redoubled their efforts. The hotels and restaurants at which the strike was in full swing today were the Astor, Athens, Buckingham, Belmont, Breslin, Bustonobys Cafe des Beaux Arts, Calumet club, Empire, Elks club, Gotham, Great Northern, Hermitage, Holland House, Herald Square, Hof-brau, Imperial, Knickerbocker, Majestic, Marie Antoinette, Manhattan, Moquins, Martins, ' Martinique, Park Avenue, Plaza, Rectors, Shanleys, St. Regis, Seville, Sherry's, Waldorf Astoria and the Vanderbilt.

TRANSPORT STRIKE - APPROACHES CLOSE 'National News Association) LONDON, June 1.

Of the 556 Who Signed the Remonstrance, 211 Have Withdrawn, and Necessary

Number Is 539. JEFFERSON TWP. TO STILL REMAIN DRY Although the Drys in that Township Now Have Only a Majority of Four on the Remonstrance. The result of the wet and dry war in Jackson and Jefferson townships will probably be known by Monday afternoon. From the present indica tions it is likely that Jackson township will go wet while Jefferson will remain dry, although the results of the tug-of war cannot be definitely ascertained today. Leaders of both forces in the two townships are confident of victory and say that the fight will be carried on until the final decision of the coun ty commissioners. Remonstrances were filed by the dry forces in the two townships yesterday with County Auditor Bowman. The Jackson township remonstrance was filed in the afternoon while the Jeffer son township remonstrance was not brought into the auditor's office until 9:10 o'clock last night. Jackson Remonstrance. On the Jackson township remon strance 5&b signatures ol voters ap pear, while the number necessary for a majority is 539, the drys having seventeen more than they really need for a majority. But of the 556 signers 211 have signed withdrawal cards, giving the drys but 345 original singers. The drys claim that a number who signed withdrawal cards later signed renew alsy-tttereby placing their names back on the remonstrance and making their withdrawal . cards invalid. The exact number of remonstrators will not be known until everything has been checked up by the attorneys for both sides and gone over by the county commissioners. There are 303 signatures upon the remonstrance presented by the dry voters in Jefferson township. The number of remonstrators necessary for majority is 239. Sixty withdrawal cards have been turned in to the county auditor. This leaves the drys with a majority of four, so there seems to be little doubt but that the Jefferson township, Wayne county, which went dry in 1908, will remain a white spot on the temperance map of Indiana. Drys Still Confidant. A local attorney employed by the wets in Jackson township stated today that if only seventeen of the voters who signed withdrawal cars will "stand pat" Jackson township will be wet. Alonzo Feemster, prominently identified with the drys in Jackson township stated today that there is little doubt but that Jackson township will remain on the dry list. He said that although he does not know the exact number of persons who signed renewals after signing withdrawal cards, yet he believes there wfll be enough to maintain the majority on the remonstrance. The number of voters to bring about a majority is based upon the total number of voters at the last general election in 1910. The vote Cast in Jackson, township at the last election was 1,077. Bitter Factional War. In Jackson township the hottest fight has been staged. The war has really become so bitter during the past few weeks that it is hardly safe for a man to venutre to express an opinion either way, unless he is looking for a quarrel. One active dry worker entered a store in Cambridge City the other day. The proprietor of the store was a particularly wet man. Something was said about the remonstrance against the liquor traffic in the township and the dry man was ordered out of the store with threats of violence if he did not immediately comply with the merchant's orders. Whether Jackson township will go dry or wet is the . sole , topic of the breakfast table, at the noon-day lunch, the evening meal and ' after supper when the voter settles down In his accustomed chair to read the daily papers. The question is discussed on the streets, in the stores, shops and on the farms. - KERN WILL ATTACK LO RIMER TUESDAY Ofational News Association) WASHINGTON. June 1. Senator

President's Secretary" Says

Executive Will Not Consider or Listen to Compromise Offers. THIRD PARTY TALK CHECKED BY HILLES He Says if the President Is Defeated He Will Accept His Defeat Gracefully and Retire. t National Ntiri Association) OYSTER BAY, June 1. "How interesting." This was the only comment Colonel Roosevelt would make today when shown an interview with President Taffs secretary Charles Hilles, declaring that Mr. Taft will neither consider, listen to or accept the suggestion of a compromise candidate. A party of the Illinois delegates to the national convention arrived here early this afternoon and were taken immediately to Sagamore Hill, where they went Into conference with Col. Roosevelt. The ex-president was asked again today if he had finally decided whether he would go to the convention. "I see nothing in the situation that would call for my presence in Chicago and I have no present intention of going." INTERVIEW BY HILLES. WASHINGTON, June 1. "President Taft will neither consider, listen to, nor accept the suggestion of a compromise candidate. "Neither will there be a bolt by the Taft forces rumors to contrary notwithstanding. If he is defeated President Taft will take his future with good grace and will not attempt to start another party to escure the nomination for the presidency on any other pretext." This was the comment made by Secretary Hilles today when approached by a reporter of the National News Association on the question of a possible dark horse capturing the presidential nomination when the Republican national convention meets on the 18th of this month. Indignantly repudiating any. assertion that the question of compromise had been broached to the president or that he would consider it should it be made. Secretary Hilles continued: Is a Two-Man Fight, "This is a fight between President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt. The nomination, so far as we can see, lies between one of these men. We are considering no dark horses. The president will go into the convention with enough votes to nominate him. If the unexpected happens and he fails in his purpose the man who wins will do so because of his own strength, not from any votes which will be swung to him by the president. This is strictly a 'two-man fight,' with the odds, in our opinion, in favor of the president. We are making every effort to hold our own in Ohio and I see no reason why we should not do so. The president is not considering visiting Chicago at the time of the convention. Whether Col. Roosevelt is on hand at this time or not will make no difference. The president will remain here to attend to business and will let the attention to the details in Chicago in the hands of Director McKinley and myself. "On June 17 President Taft will pre side at the graduation exercises at Hamilton college, Clinton, N. Y. He will return here on June IS and will receive the news of the convention by telegraph and long distance telephone. All precedents would be shattered should the president of the United States attend a convention in which he is personally interested and Presi dent Taft is not considering such a radical move. "Besides, we see no necessity for IL We have strength enough already. Our delegates, we are sure, can take care of themselves and there Is no fear of an organized bolt to the opposition, "The chairmanship of the national committee is a subject which has received little attention as yet. Senator Root will doubtless be the temporary chairman, but the selection of a permanent chairman probably will not be taken up until after the close of the convention, as was done in 1908. While Secretary Hilles would not posiUvely assert who wonld nominate President Taft at the Chicago convention he admitted that both Senator Burton and Warren C. Harding of Ohio were being considered for the honor. CYRUS FNUTT DIED AT LOS ANGELES, CAL. (National News Association) -IX)S ANGELES, ; June 1.

Associated Charities Secre

tary Says Excellent Industrial Conditions Arc Not Much of Relief. EXPENSE TO EXIST SOARS; WAGES DONX Splendid Work of the Chari" table Organization Shown: in the Statement Issued' by Mrs. Beck. Although one or two of the largest local factories now have more men on their payrolls than at any time in their history and nearly all the other manufacturing concerns are operating with large forces, the Associated Charities reports that the workmen and their families are not reaping the benefits to be expected under excellent industrial conditions because the cost of living Is steadily advancing. Mrs. Joseph Beck, secretary of the board of directors of the Associated Charities, in her 'report which was read at a meeting of the officers of the Association yesterday, estimated that in a year the cost of living had increased fifteen per cent. Prominent local labor leaders state that the increase in wages is not keeping pace with the increase in living expenses. Report f Secretary. The report of Mrs. Beck Is as follows: In spite of the gradual return of industrial prosperity, the families with which our society has been dealing during the past year, have not reaped benefits that generally follow increased opportunities for employment. Th remarkable rise in the cost of living during the past year or two has kept such families in practically the same condition that they were in when labor was not so easily obtained. It la estimated that the cost of living during 1910-11 has Increased fifteen per cent. . Whits- such estimates vary with the" section of country, from which they come, nevertheless the charitable organizations realise that the poor are getting on their feet very slowly. W began our year's work! with a considerable decrease in the balance on hand, available for our general purposes, and this, coupled with Increased demand for help has more than puzxled the Board of Directors of Associated Charities. Much time and thought of our financial committee has been directed toward devising means . for meeting this demand. As a result of this effort. . a substantial number of new contributors have been secured during the year. Great Amount of Work. A definite understanding of - the great labor and thought involved is an impossibility to those who view this great work only in an indifferent way but to those who make a real and conscientious endeavor to become acquainted with the unfortunate, will reveal a story that must fill their hearts and lives with sympathy and pity. To help the -helpless, guide the thoughtless, convert the reckless, and control the vicious, to visit the sorrowing, to be humanely merciful, even to the merciless are the ever arduous duties of this society. Our work of Investigation and relief which goes on from day to day should by this time be well understood by our contributors. Often we have evidence that the character of our work is not rightly understood, or Its results fully realised. If we could Impress upon the public mind, the every day stories pf suffering, and shame, of heorism and nobility too, that we come in contact with, many a lukewarm friend of Associated Charities, would become an ardent supporter and worker. We need money, but we also need those who will give some of their time and a bit of sympathy and interest. One ef Great Labors. Helping people to help themselves is one of the great labors performed by this society. If we wish to help people, we must do things with them instead of for them'. We must not do for them what they can do for themselves. Teach them to depend upon their own efforts. It is infinitely better to teach them sewing than to make the garments for - them. We are glad that our public school have taken np the work along the lines of domestic economy. The girls are taught sewing, cooking and housekeeping, and the boys are given Instructions In the use of their hands as well as their heads. This course Is bound to bear good results as the years roll by, and we are. confident that the benefit will reach those In more humble walks of life, and that the children of today, (Continued on Page lght) .
