/ The strike of the union ma
chinists on the Santa Ee railroad
system, four years ago, and al
most forgotten by the public af-
ter few months of sharp con-
fiict between the railroad COM

has been declared off. The ma
chinists have announced their
intention of giving up the strug-
gle and have told their men to
go back to work ii they can, and
the Santa Fee has effectively
established an ''open shop pol

this country between railway and

by deeds of violence.

on strike.

clared they would not stand for any
thing but an open shop, the men said

conditions, arbitration failed and the

COCHRAN IS DROPPED
TAsEMANY CHIEFTATN Says HE IS
NOTSA DEMOCRAT.


New York, March ls.--CharIes r.
Murphy. leader OF Tammany Hall, was
quoted in a published statement today
as saying that the reason why Repre-,
sentative W. Bourke Cockran had been
dropped from important schairmanship
in the Tammany Organization was that
Mr.. Vockran was not a Democrat.
Mr. Murphy denied that question
regarding the receivership OF the
Knickerbocker Trust Company as was
reported had anything to do with It.
Mr.. Cochran In a statement tonight
said:
1T Is beyond my inteilectuals. 1t is
we'll known that have written all
the definitions of Democracy accepted
and approved by Mr.. Murphy during
the last four years. Which of them
does he now repudiate and on what
ground? Surely he cannot wish US to
sin5er that he Is incapable. as his crit
les assert, Of understanding the signif-
icance of expressions which he had ap-
plauded publicly. 1t is very amazing
and very amusing.
In a meeting of the general commit
tee of Tammany Hall held last Tues
day. Mr.. Cochran was dropped from
the chajrmanship of the Committee on
Speakers. It is understood in Tam.
many circles that MT. Cochran will re-
sign soon from the Board of Sachems
of the Columbian order.
This is the secopd time that Mr..
Cochran has had trouble with the lead
ers Of Tammany Hall. He had differ
ences with Richard Croker and retired
from Tammany. remaining out until
Murphy became leader.
