Boiler Makers in Rock Island
Shops Walk Out.
Differences With Foreman MAT
thur the Cause.
1T AFFECTS 55 MEN.
Conference Win Be Held With
Officials Tonight.
Meanwhile Work on Engines Is
at Stand Still.

Horton, Kan, Nov. 16.-Work on en-
gines whose boilers need repairing is at
a standstin in the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific railway shops here because of
a strike on the part of the boilermak-
ers, which began yesterday.
An effort is to be made tonight to
patch up the differenc es between the
strikers and the compa ". for there ar
a number OF engines in the s.4O,s
awaiting repairs to their boilers, and if
Sac strike continues for any length Of
time the road viii be handicapped ser
iously for motive power. Because of
the great rush of freight traffic at this
time every ounce Of motive power that
the company owns is needed and it can
III afford at this time to have a single
engine in the shops any longer than is
absolutely needed for repairs.
For some time past there has been
considerable differences between the
boilermakers and the foreman J. 0.
Macarthur and these differences culmin-
ated IN a serious break when Mr.. Nc
Arthur issued an order putting the
work Of setting f1ues In boilers in the
hands of the boilermakerS' helpers. 1t
seems that under an agreement be-
tween the Rock Island and the Broth
erhoOd of Boilermakers this work is
properly within the province of the
boilermakers and should be done by
then1s
AS soon as Macarthur issued this or
der a number of the boilermakers call
ed his attention to the fact that it was
in violation of the agreement and ask
ed him to rescind 1t. This he refused
to do and yesterday the 80 bOilermak-
ers employed in the shops notified him
that they would refuse to go to work
unless the order was annulled Mr.
Macarthur again refused and the men
walked out Of the shops. This action
boiIermakers' helpers. to the number of
about % out of work. and while they
are not On strike, they are idle new
ertheless
No demonstrations of any kind have
been made by the strikers and it is
nos believed that the company has Ia
ken any steps as yet to get men to
take their places, for a conference has
been arranged for tonight between
Thomas Rope of Topeka, superintend-
ent of motive power for the southwest
district and Warren Test, of Chicago,
vice president of the district lodge OF
bOflermakers employed on the Rock
Island system. This district lodge is q
subsidiary organization Of the Broth
erhoOd of BoiIermakers- At this con-
ference an effort viii be made to adj
Just the differences between The strik-
ers and the company, but the strikers
saw that they are firm in their deter
mination not to go back to work if the
order is not rescinded giving the help
ers the work of fiue setting. 1t is pro
bable that the company VIII make con-
/ cessions for they need the engines II

GRAND PROMOTER.
MOTOR Crofoot Meets Up With a
HumOrist.

Major Crofoot grand promoter and
artful dodger, was seated at his desk
and chewing bit of plotting pad,
while he wondered where his lunch for
that day was coming from. when his
Office door opened and a middle-aged
man entered with a smile on his face.
the major at once jumped to the con-
clusion that it was somebody to invest
in his scheme to raise sugar beets on
the great Sahara desert. and he rose
up and extended his hand, and said:
Good morning to you sir. Pleasant
morning? What can I do for youg"
Eyes, it is a pleasant morning-hai

helped himself to a chair.
''You-you wanted to see me on bust
ness, presume2
you perhaps want to make an in
vestment?'' continued the major, look
ing more closely to see if the man had
the fires of insanity in his eyes.
Perhaps I do-ha! ha! ha! Say this

"oh, the catching on is easy enough.

He gurgIed- and chuckled. and slapped
his leg for half a minute, while the
major studied his features. All of a
sudden his identity was revealed.

man, as he saw the trouble in the ma
ior's face. Yes, am Green. We used
to room and board in the same house.

moter, as he held out his hand 1.-The

And Mr.. Green threw himself back
/ in his chair with such force to to carry
away its back. He laughed for a full
minute, and there were tears In his
1 eyes as he finally Strengthened up and
said:
'You are the same dear old dead

OF the 81 souls aboard, only these five
were saved. They had hardly left the
tattered hulk before the remains Of the
once staneh vessel were dashed to pieces
on the rocks.
The survivors congratulated each

their experience was over. Although
