DYNAMO men ON INTERURBAN
ELECTRIC ROAD ARE SHUT OUT

An effort on the part of the man
agement of the lnterurban railway
to get two extra days work each
month out of the dynamo men with
out corresponding increase of pay
resulted in strike, which took ef-
feet yesterday The dynamo men
are in charge of the sub-stations be-
tween here and Seattle and are paid
SIS month. Heretofore they have
been getting four days off every
month, but an order recently issued
cut the number of days down to two.
Some time ago the management
gave the employees at the Tacoma
station raise in salary of $40 a
month, with two 12-hour shifts and
three days off month. This took
away the swing man from the other
end of the division, made that end
short a man and compelled a cutting
down in the number of days allowed
each during the month. The other
men refused to stand for the change
and petition was drawn up ny

sent to K Schluss, superintendent OF

Oakley had no reason for wilful-

the money which he had previously
placed in the keeping of one of the
officers. This he could have done

fellows did"
Yeungs stated that the matter had
been reported to the local police, who
had agreed to make a search for the
lost man.

Specifications Do Not State the Kind of Mater
iaI to Be USed--ErrOri in Engineers office
for Yakima Avenue May Cause the
Rejection of Two Bids

Bids were opened this morning at
the office of the commissioner of
public works to construct and keep
in repair for a period of 10 years
about $150,000 worth of street pave
ments. AS proposals were received
on several kinds of paving, Commits
sioner of Public Works Welsh post
poned the award until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
The specifications under which the
contracts are to be let have the same
loophole that knocked out asphalt on
Pacific avenue last spring. The kind
of asphalt is not specified, and after
the contract is let the contractor can
use any old kind of asphalt he likes,
whether the taxpayers object or not.
When the attention of the officials
was called to this, City Engineer Da-
Wis stated that they relied on the ten
year guarantee rather than the quail
ty of asphalt. He also said that if
any particular kind was specified it
might prevent some companies from
bidding
These improvements will be in
three separate local improvement dis
tricts as follows: District No. 20S,
paving Pacific avenue from Twenty
first to Twenty-fourth street; dis
trict No. 206, paving c street be-
tween South Seventh street and Di-
vision avenue, also constructing ce-
ment sidewalks varying in width
from to IL feet; district No. 63,
paving North Yakima avenue be-
tween Division avenue and Steele
street.

CAR WHEELS CUT MANS
BODY IN TWO

While attempting to step from one
car to another on moving Interur-
ban train, Charles Wands, surveyor
of North Yakima, fell under the
wheels and was instantly killed. The
accident occurred shortly after the
train pulled out of Milton at 1895
last night.
Conductor Benjamin had just un-
locked the rear door of the forward
car, as was customary, when Wands
came through the door of the rear
car to pass into the car ahead. Just
as he stepped on the forward plat
form the train gave jerk and he was
thrown between the cars. The wheels
passed over the middle of his body,
cutting it completely in two.
The remains were taken by the
train crew to Milton. From there
a special train with Deputy Coroner
Mellinger aboard brought them to
Tacoma.
AS far as can be learned, the ac-
cident was due to the unfortunate
mans lack of caution, and net to any
fault of the trainmen
Wands was about 40 years f age
and leaves a wife and child in North
Yakima. He was member of the

Knights of Pythias.
When the train crew went to look
for Wards body they found it lying
across the track under the car, with
the head and hands under the third
rail. None of the train crew would
touch the body, fearing shock from
the rail, and stood on the track look
ing at it. A. ]. Barrett, an electri-
clan, was on the train and heard
somebody say They can't get him off
the third rail" With that he went
out of the car to assist in removing
the body. He got under the car and
took hold of he dead man't trousers.
His position under the car made it
impossible to exert strength enough
to move the body. He reached his
hand out to one of the bystanders
for assistance. Just as he took hold
of the other mans hand, Barrett
touched the heel of the dead mans
shoe and received a slight shock that
caused the other man to release his
hold. Barrett then took off his belt
and, putting it around the dead
mans leg, pulled the body from un-
der the rail.
While Barrett was working to get
the body out the train crew. stood
helplessly by, unable to render any
assistance.
