TRA|NMEN
FROM HOB0ES
RAILWAY OFFICIALS TO ASK THE
GOVERNMENT FOR PERMIS-
SION TO ARM MEN.

Officials Of the Northern Pacific rail-
way announce that they have decided
to ask permission of the governor of
Washington to arm brakemen and con-
ductors on all freight trains operating
in this state, says a Tacoma report.
Indignant because of the action of
the Hartman lines in attempting %
dump thousands of hoboes from Cali
forria and Oregon in the Puget Sound
section, the Northern Pacific officials
conclude that they must find some i'm
mediate remedy for the growing hobo
evil. The murder Of Brakeman joan
Price by five tramps near North Yaki-
ma, Tuesday night, has spurred the
officials of the Northern Pacific to i'm
mediate action.
