MAY REVOKE LICENSES.
Vessel Owners to Take Heroic Action
Against Striking Engineers.

HSduhSe Seii ."S"SStSs
Buffalo, N. Y, April 1.-The YES
sell owners of this CITY claim that un-
less the striking marine. engineers re
turn to work at the opening of navi-
cation they can bring action in the
courts that will result in revoking the
licenses held by the engineers. They
base their contention on precedent
which they say was established in
1897, during a strike of Mississippi
pilots, when the solicitor general of
the United States decided that their
refusal to pilot boats was conspiracy
in restraint of commerce and revoked
their licenses.
While the vessel owners do not say
definitely that such action will be
taken here, they intimate that impor-
tant developments may be expected
soon that will force a settlement of
the strike. f. 1914.

Meeting and Arrange Details Of the
Management.
Milwaukee, April 1.-The Milwau-
kee Journal says the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul road has closed 500
year traffic agreement with the Daven-
port, Rock Island and Northwestern.
The Journals authority for the state
ment is President A. ]. Earling Of the
st. Paul road. The deal is said to be
one of the most important in years
made by that road.
The new line acquired by the COM
pany extends for 55 miles from Clin-
ton, Ia, to Davenport, Rock Island and
Moline. It is fully equipped with roll
ing stock and has fine roadbed, and
is complete railway system in itself.
It will form one of the most valuable
branches of the Milwaukee road, as it
is to become a part of the kansas
City cutoff" about which there has
been so much talk recently. The re-
cent issue of new stock for which ar
rangements have been made by the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road,
is largely for the purpose of providing
funds to secure a shorter route for
the road from Chicago to Kansas City.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul road has, with the traffic agree
ment, acquired the right to use the
road with it's own rolling stock, trains
and men and virtually comes into pos
session.
