BoILERMAKERS ORDERED OUT
General Strike on Number of Biu
Lines of Northwest Has
Begun.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept H-A general
strike Of boilermakers on the Chicago Great
Western Great Northern, Omaha, North
ern Pacific and the 500 railroads was called
today, and 1t is expected that before night
the shops of the entire systems of those
roads will be tied up. The boilermakers
are aided in their fight by their helpers,
and in the case of the Chicago Great West
ern, the machinists in the big shops at
Oelwein went out in sympathy
The strike of the boilermakers followed
a refusal of the raiirpads to q !sede 20 a
demand for 45 cents an Lour east Of ttc
Missouri river and i7h cents west of that
river This railroads consider to be the
heaviest demand ever maIA by any of
their shop employees. As q compromise the
railroads offered Az cents an hour east
and 4Sjh cents west of the Missouri river,
with the nine-hour day for both. This
increase would have been equal to a III
cent differential above the wages paid
machinists. The Great Western situation
is complicated by an alliance between the
machinists and the boilermakers and the
machinists in the big shops at Oelwein,
Ia, struck in sympathy. On the other
lines only the boilermakers and their
helpers went out. OF the entire umber
of men nut, the boilermakers represent
about one--hiri. while the rest are HELPERS
who have no grievances Reports at head
quarters of the railroads here show that
there are out on the Great Western, 225
men; Great Northern. $50; Omaha, 160;

at Shoreham 225. Railroad officials expect
that the strike will spread rapidly and that
they will be seriously handicapped at once.

ALLEGED TRAIN WRECKERS
Indiana Town Marshal Shot for Inter-
rupting Their Plans.


Evansville, Ind. April 26.-Several
attempts Of train wreckers to set fire
to a bridge on the Southern railroad
near Temple, Ind, were frustrated by
the town marshal of English, Ind, who
was shot twice by two men believed to
be the guilty parties.
About midnight the night telegraph
operator at Temple saw fire in the
middle Of the bridge near his station.
pom investigation he found bunch of
waste burning and extinguished it.
After he returned three freight
trains passed the station In the reg
ular block spacing. When they had
passed he again saw flames at the
bridge and upon investigation found
the bridge had been set on fire the
second time.
immediately he notified the train
dispatcher at Princeton, Ind, who tel
ephoned the marshal at English to go
to the bridge on train that was
coming into that station and to pick
up all suspicious men along the track.
After leaving English the marshal
met two men and demanded that they
give an account Of themselves. One
of the men opened fire on the marshal,
shooting him twice. The posse of
the marshal succeeded in arresting
one of the men, but the other gQt
away. - .. - 81

A BLUNDER MAY HAVE
SPOILED ANTI-pASS LAW
Contradiction in Measure May Render
It Negatory-.-Was it Design
or Accident? =

Is the famous anti pass bill,
passed by the senate during the
closing hour and at once enrolled,
of any force and effect?
Is it ruined by a blunder or
has it been done to untimely
death by the hand of the secret
despoiler?
There have been one or two
evidences of the evil hand adroit-

tiously changing bills, and now
the question is, has this black
hand killed the anti-pass bill?
Here is the situation:

section makes the bill effective

what to do.

The following table has been

Ritchie from his records, and
from it may be seen at a glance
that the proposed site is admir-.

ton of a majority of the pupils

grades, and that such building
is now necessary for the accom-.
mediation Of a large number.
By the time high-school
building can be completed, it is
a modest estimate to say that it
will be required for the use of at
least 25O pupils in the high-school
