Trainmen Have Grievance,

The Santa. Fe trainnlen at San Bernar-
dino, Cal, have been in session in that
city nearly every day for the past week.
The trainmen, it is understood, have a
grievance against the company on account
of the alleged breaking of the seniority
rule. The difference started several
months ago when a conductor, who had
just come from the east, was appointed to
the conductorship on the San Jacinto run
counted one of the best runs out Of the
division. A committee of trainmen enter
ed a protest over the appointment of the
conductor over the heads of several men
who were entitled to the position under
the seniority rule, but the cmopany was
firm and declined to give way to the pro-
test. Matters have been dra gging along
since then until the trainmen took up the
question in earnest and meetings nearly
every day have been the result.

O'Brien Again Talking.

philadelphia, Pa. Dec. 30.-Jack
O'Brten' the middleweight boxer, who
is determined to be the champion of
the world in his class. electrified his
friends last night by posting $1,000
and issuing a challenge to the world at
154 pounds, weigh in at o'clock .. m.
This is a reply to Ryan, F'itzsimmons
Root, Stiff, Jackson and scores of
other wouldbe middle weights who
bar his way to the championship
laurels.
This morning at 10 o'clock O'Brien
sailed for Bermuda for a three weeks
trip in the West Indies. 1t is his pur-
pose to recuperate after his strenuous
work in the ring and train for the first
man who disputes his right to the
championship.
O'Brien's def is aimed directly at
Tommy Ryan and Fitzsimmons. The
former insisted on 154 pounds as the
middle weight limit, the LATHE argues
1t was at that weight he defeated
Dempsey for the title. The PhiladeI-
phlan valves all argument and now
says he will make the weight and be
ready to fight at months notice.
