KNOX SENDS PASSPORTS
TO zELAYA'S ENVOY
Holds Nicaraguan President Re-
spOnsibIs For Americans Death.
TREATY WAS OFTEN VIOLATED
This Action Does Not Mean Initiation
of HostiIities in Itself, But It is
tho Usual Preliminary of War
Among Nations.

Washington, ID. Diplomatic re-
lations between the United States and
Nicaragua were severed by this Gov
erament. His passports were handed
TO the Charge d'Affaires of President
zelaya's Government.
This action does not in itself mean
the initiation Of hostilities, but it is
the usual preliminary to that condi-
ton. The blow was softened, how
ever, by a suggestion to the represent
tative of Nicaragua that he might re-
main in Washington, where he would
be received unofficially by the State
Department.
incidentally the insurgents gov
eminent was virtually recognized.
The radical action of the United
States was the direct outcome of the
execution of the American citizens
LIE Roy Cannon and Leonard Grace
by order of President Zelaya. In
severing relations with the present
Government in control at Managua
Secretary of State Knox took the first
step toward Furnishing Zelaya for the
Cannon and Grace execution and for
repeated violations Of the conventions
Of the Central American Peace Con-
ference, which was fostered by the
United States and Mexico
Mr.. Knox's action took the form of
a diplomatic note to Senior Felipe
Rodriguez, the Nicaraguan Charge
l'Affairs. 1t was sent after a long
conference between President Taft
and Mr. Knox Mr.. Knox broke off
al further diplomatic communication
with Nicaragua by forwardings his
passport to Senior Rodriguez.
In his note Mr.. Knox charged that
President Zelaya had repeatedly and
hagrantly violated the Washington
conventions. Republican institutions,
he added, had ceased to exist under
zelaya's administration. The execu-
ton of the two Americans, the note
continued, was by order of President
zelaya. 1t also said that it had been
rumored that the men were tortured
before their execution 1t is the evil
dent intention of the United States if
these reports prove to be correct to
locate and hold to strict personal
accountability those responsible for
maltreatment of the dead men
The note sets forth also the fact
that Henry Caldera, the American
Vice-Consul at Managua, had been
menaced twice by President Zelaya.
The plain inference of Mr.. Knox's
language is that Zelaya is the specific
object of the wrath Of the United
States Government The question as
to what indemnity shall be asked for
the families of the Americans, Mr..
Knox added, will be postponed for
future determination.

SWITCHMEN STRIKE
IN THE NORTHWEST
1900 Men, From St. Paul to the
Pacific, Quit Work.

Thirteen Roads Affected, But Passen-

Higher Wages, Won't Arbitrate

ger Service to Continue - Ask
Higher Wages, Won't Arbitrate
Negotiations For Days Failed
st. Paul, MINI. After fifteen days
Of negotiating between the Switch
mems Union of North America and
the joint committee of railway mana
gers, representing thirteen roads OF
the Northwest, strike, involving
1900 switchmen, became effective
The men demanded six cents more an
hour and double pay for Sunday and
overtime in excess of ten hours They
were employed by the railroads run
ming west and north of st. Paul and
Lake Superior to the Pacific coast.
The first effect of the strike was a
sharp bulge in the price of wheat on
the Chicago grain market AS the
roads entering St. Paul, Duluth and
from the West, the prospect of inter
ruption to this traffic caused some to
fear delayed deliveries of grain. Pas
senger traffic is not affected.
Both sides to the dispute issued
statements. The railway managers
committee issued the following:
1.-THE managers committee offered
the switchmen an increase of twenty
cents day of ten hours in the rates
of pay of switchmen employed in the
territory west of Hayre, Mont, on the
Great Northern Railway, and west OF
Billings, Mont, on the Northern Pa
scific Railway, the differential in that
Territory for switchmen having OBJ
tanned for about two years.
- Further concession was declined
for the reason that the rates of pay
of switchmen were increased more
than thirteen per cent. in November,
1906, and because the rates at that
time established had not been reduced
in the period of business depression
which followed.
For the switchmen F. T. Hawley
their president, said;
- The switchmen have been fair in
their requests The request for dou-
BILE pay for overtime is in the nature
of penalty. We want to discourage
overtime, Sunday and holiday work
We also ask for a modification of the
physical requirements and age limit
rules. Examinations for employment
ON railroads now are as rigid as those
required for service in the regular
army.
This strike will result in the mosi
complete tie-up of railroad traffic in
the territory affected that has ever
been known, not excepting the great
strike of 1884,
