mating bold coup. The plan of the

The reformed" board of ofsuperyisors,
acting under the direction of the dis

startling exhibition today of desire
to be good, when it made plans for the
abolition of a score OF ornamental Off

Other officials, who under the Ruei

been instituted which will save the

FAMINE WOULD RESULT.
Railroads Hold Out Gloomy Prospect
If Strike is Called.

Chicago, March 30.-Famine in sup
lies Of food, coal and manufacturing
materials for Chicago and many other
cities throughout the entire West was
predicted today, il the impending rail-
way strike became reality. Railroads
of the entire West will be allowed to
remain completely paralyzed in case
the strike of trainmen and conductors
on 43 traffic systems is ordered. This
course has been practically decided on
by the general managers of the systems.
meeting of the managers was held
today and the impracticability of filling
the places of 45, 600 men who are talk
ing of a walkout was discussed. No
move has been made to hire men tc run
trains. In fact, no preparations is be-
ing made by the railway managers.
eff these men strike it would be al
most, if not entirely, impossible to op-
crate the railroads." said an official
high in railroad circles. "It is as good
as certain that freight traffic will be
entirely shut off. Consider what it
would mean, if Chicago were to be iso-
lated for "a hours. What would hap
pen if the milk supply were interrupt
ed or the immense importations of per-
shable freight halted by tie-up of the
roads"

Northern Roads Deny Present Inten-
ton, but Are Investigating.

St Paul, Mimi, March 29.-An
official statement was Made by traffic
men of the Northern Pacific and Cheat
Northern railroads today that it is not
contemplated to make any immediate
change in lumber rates from Puget
sound to st. Paul and Missouri river
cities, as the lumbermen have advised
the Interstate Commerce commission in
Washington. A joint statement was
made by the lines as follows:
eve have not considered an increase
in Pacific Coast Missouri-River lumber
rates, except as they may have been in
volved in discussions covering the gem
eral rates and cost of service. No i'm
mediate changes ale contemplated"
While the statement gives generally
the situation, it is asserted the lines are
closely investigating conditions govern
ing the transportation of lumber, which
have changed considerably since the in
dustry on the coast started.

TRY MEDIATION.
Knapp and NeiII Will Attempt to Ad-
just Railroad Dispute.

Chicago, March 29.--Government in
tervention will be tried in an effort to
avert the great railroad strike which
threatens to paralyze the business of
the West. In response to the appeal
of the railroad managers, Chairman
Knapp, of the Interstate Commere COM
mission, and Commissioner of Labor
Neill will arrive in Chicago Saturday
morning and offer mediation in the
controversy. Failing to adjust the
matter in coneiliatory manner, they
will endeavor to bring about arbitra-
tion under the provisions of the Erd-
mann law.
The labor chiefs will await the az
rival of the government officials before
ordering a strike. If the good Offices
of Mr.. Knapp and Mr.. Neill result in
bringing greater concessions tc the EN-.
ployes than have yet been Offered, the
strike may be averted. The employees
however, say they will not accept arbi-
tration and today again declared their
position that nothing short of greater
concessions from the railroads will pre-
vent them from walking out.
President Roosevelt has been follow
ing closely the developments In the sit
uation here and Messrs. Knapp and
Neill will undertake the delicate work
imposed on them by law with full con-
sciousness that the president is ex-
tremely solicitous that all differences
be settled by arbitration.
The general managers said that no
attempt would be made to operate
trains if the employees struck.

Northern railroad in its contention that
it had the right to issue the $6O, ,C00.-
900 of stock authorized by the board of

should fiarst come before the 81 ate raIl-
road and warehouse commission and
submit to an examination to show the
necessity andt he purpose of the Issue.
