Trainmen Meeting With
General Managers
BOTH SIDES ARE CONFIDENT
TRAlNMEN HAVE NOT ANNOUNCE
ED THE RESULT OF THE VOTE
TAKEN ON THE STRIKE CUES
TIoN, BUT 1T is SAID 1T FAvoRs
STRIKE OVERWHELMINGLY.

Chicago, March 26.--The general
manager of the western railroads and
representatives of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and the Order of
Railway Conductors commenced today
what promises to be the final confer
ence regarding the demands for an
increase of pay and working day of
nine hours. For several weeks men
belonging to the two organizations
have been voting on the question of
striking if their demands are not COM
piled with and although the vote was
not announced today prior to the com
mencement of the conference, it Is un-
derstood to be overwhelmingly in favor
of a strike if such a step should be-
come necessary. The general mana :
gers have informed the men that they
are prepared to offer 10 per cent In
demand for a nine hour day Before
the conference commenced today both
sides expressed rosy view Of what
would appear to an outsider to be a
blue situation. The men insisted that
there would be no strike because the
general managers would concede the
demands that have been made on them
and the general managers said that
there would be no strike because the
men would abate their demands and
would accept the offer of the railroads

Miss McNeil Needed Money to Save

Lover.

Crook City, S. d. March 26.-Miss
Ethel McNeill, Winnipeg school
teacher, has donned male attire, search
ed the widest western mining districts
for gold, found it ana made her for
tune-all for the purpose of saving her
sweetheart from consumption by mar
rying him and taking him to a more
favorable climate.
Miss McNeill met Wilson McWhofter
at Canadian teachers convention and
their engagement followed. 1t scarce
ly had been announced when the white
plague laid such hold on McWhorter
that he no longer could work. 1t
seemed inevitable that he would die.
His loyal young sweetheart disap-
peared one day. When she reappeared
suddenly in the mining camps of Ida
no, Montana and South Dakota, she
was so disguised that none suspected
she was other than Kingsley Malcomb,
a prospector. She went about fearless
ly among the rough characters and was
unmolested Her long search ended
here with a Strike This she has
sold, she says, for more than she had
expected, and with the sale she has
made known her sex. She could have
realized more by holding the mine, but
she needed the money at once, if she
were to save her lover.
She is now on her way to Winnipeg
and, despite the contagious nature of
his disease, will marry McWhorter and
take him to New Mexico in the hope
tlat the climate there will restore his
