Grand Chiefs of Five Railway Brother
hoods in Session in Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. 2l.-At meeting Of
the railroad brotherhood chiefs, held
at the Sherman house Friday, it was
decided that the five principal organiza-
tions would adopt concerted action IN
an effort to secure the passage in the
next congress Of all Legislation which
would have a beneficial result from
their andpoint. Someone will be Sc
lected who will represent all OF the
organizations to go to Washington and
work particularly for the passage in
the house of the arbitration bill and the
contempt bill, which have already
passed the senate and are scheduled
to come before the house at. it's next
session. The adoption of these two
bills, they believe. will protect the rail
road employees in the object of their
organizations. Any other Legislation
which will shave favorable results and
which is to be considered in the coming
congress will be supported by the
brotherhoods in every possible way. The
organizations represented at the meet
ing were: The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, Brotherhood OF Lo-
connective Firemen, Order OF Railroad
Conductors, Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and Order of railroad .reicg-

Serious Outlook for Residents of the Cas-
cades Flooded District.
Seattle, WASH, Nov. 2l.-The Chinese
passengers on the Great Northern train
which was tied up between Wellington
and Madison arrived in Seattle Friday.
Through an interpreter they said that
while on the train they were given. two
meals day for four days, at the end of
which time the food supplies gave out
and they were forced to walk seven
miles through snow from five to fifteen
feet deep to railroad section house,
where they were supplied with three
meals day.
Owing to the crippled condition Of the
Great Northern, Everett & Monte
Cristo railroads there is liable to be d
serious food famine in towns in the
Cascades flooded district. In fact, Mr..
Mccarthy, a merchant OF Sultan City
who is now here for the purpose Of pur'
chasing supplies. said that it has al
ready begun.
A special dispatch from Snohomisb
says: The first party of 200 miners who
left Monte Cristo early this week to
walk out to the lower town, reached
here Thursday. The reason for this
Wholesale exodus of miners is lack Of
provisions in the mountain stores
From the reports of the condition OF
the Everett g. Monte Cristo railroad, it
is evident that it will be three weeks at
least before train can reach Monte
Cristo All the big mines at Silverton,
Goat Lake and Monte Cristo, have fol-
lowed the example of the Monte Cristo
Mining company, and sent out men
until the railroad could bring in more
provisions. There are from 800 to to
400 farmers in the Snohomish valley
who are losers from the flood. Their
losses range from few head of stock TO
the loss of their entire personal prop
erty.
