Both union and nonunion railway
telegraphers in this city declare
that an attempt on the part of the
Northern Pacific or Great North
ern to cut wages will result in a
strike that will tie up the systems.
A vote has been polled on the
Spokane division on the reduced
wage proposition sent out by the
companies and the determination
to resist is backed by better than
IS per cent of the operators, re-
CARELESS of union affiliation. This
result was officially announced to-
day. .....
The companies object is to make
the operators bear the burden of
employing more operators when the
interstate nine hour law becomes
effective March /. This act limits
the hours of employment for opera
tors and is based on convincing
showing that many wrecks are due
to the fact that operators were so
overworked as to be physically I'M
able to perform their duties.
The companies will apply to the
commission tomorrow at Washing
ton for an extension of time on put
ting the law into effect If this
fails they intend to lop enough off
the wages of the operators to make
up the increased expense of putting
on men enough to do the work.
From Spokane east the railway
operators receive a minimum salary
of $65 per month. West from this
point the minimum Is $50. The
average earning is $75. The COM
panies propose to reduce this to
$50 and $55.
This magnificent wage scale Is
paid for IL hours of telegraphing
and close concentration in order TO
avoid smashups through mistaken
orders. The man who receives 1t
is responsible for the safety of ev-
cry passenger train that passes
him. Yet he is not near as valu-
able in the company estimation as
a fireman or brakeman.

PRIEST BURIED AS
HIS MURDERER IS
TAKEN TO COURT

DENVER, Feb. 26,-The most re-
markable gathering in the history
of Denver today attended the fu-
neral of Father Heinrich, who was
assassinated Sunday by an anarch-
list. For three blocks all streets
leading TO the church were
damned. Only members of the par
ish in which Heinrich worked were
allowed TO attend the service.
A dramatic coincidence was the
fact that while the priests and choir
boys were chanting supplications
for the soul of the murdered
priest the arraignment of Guissep-
pi Alto, the murderer, was taking
place in the police court.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Because
they were divided on verdict in a
suit for damages brought against
the New York City railway, the
