circumstances" On the same dav
November %, 1909, after a dis
cussion of the proposal to arbitrate
under the terms of the Erdman
act, at the suggestion of President
Hawiey, a joint telegram was adj
dressed as follows:
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 90. 1909.
To Martin A. Knapp, Chairman In
terstate Commerce Commission; to
Charles p. Neill, United States
commissioner of Labor, Washing
ton, ID. c.: The conference com
mittee of general managers of rail
ways and the Switchmens Union
OF North America, representing the
railways of the northwest and the
sWltchmen employed thereon, hav-
ing been in session at st. Paul,
Mimi, during the past four DAYS
and having failed to agree on Ger
tam questions at issue, Jointly in
ylte your good offices as mediatGs
under the Erdman act, and request
your presence here on Saturday,
November 81, to that end. Please
wire answer Immediately. (Signed)
|. G. Rawn, Chairman Managers
COMMITTEE; w. T. Hawley, Presi-
dent Switchmen's Union of North
America"
AS result of this telegram, Mon
day, November goth, was selected
as the day for a conference be-
tween Messrs. Knapp and Neill,
and the representatives of the rail
roads and switchmen at st. Paul.
On or about November 22d, before
the conferences with Messrs.
Knapp and Neill had begun, despite
the understanding reached in the
conferences that mediation under
the Erdman act should be invoked,
and without the knowledge of
either the managers committee or
the mediatOrS, strike order was
issued by the switchmen's commit
tee, directing the Switchmen of the
13 northwestern railroads to cease
work at p. M, November 30, in
the event that their full demands
had not been conceded. This vio-
lation of good faith so embarrassed
the negotiations that successful
mediation became impossible and
led to the demands by Messrs.
Knapp and Neill, addressed to both
the managers committee and the
switchmen. that the controversy be
submitted to arbitration under the
terms of the Erdman act. To this
proposal, the managers committee
gave its willing assent, but the
switchmen absolutely declined 1t.
The managers committee believes
that the public interests should not
suffer because of a disagreement
where proper method to settle
the differences is offered through
the decision of a disinterested third
party under the terms of a federal
law. Respectfully submitted. l. G.

800 men
INVOLVED

No settlement of the troubles OF
the switchmen's union is in sight
this afternoon. About 500 men are
involved. The railroads in the
trouble here are hiring substitute
help in an effort to do part of the
work that has been suspended by
the strike, but Chief Clerk Walker
of the Northern Pacific stated that
the N. P. is making no special eff
fort to secure temporary help.
This is believed to be due to the
fact that inexperienced substitutes
hired in past strikes to do the work
of men lying idle because of trouble
has proved altogether unsatisfac.
tory.
Twenty freight trains that have
usually run out east and west of
Spokane every day and about 16 or
II on the Great Northern are stand
ing still, and their crews of five
men each are idle as the result of
the strike. Only large shipments
carload lots-of merchandise are
being received at the freight sheds
and these are subject to indefinite
delay.

INITIATIVE

Reports received from canvass
ers with the initiative street speak
ing petition say that signatures are
being freely received and that
progress is being made in the
work of pushing the plan of ad
justing the street speaking contro-

City Comptroller Farley says
the prosecution of the crusade
against free speech by the police
department of Spokane is costing
the taxpayers $1,000 per week. Mr..
Farley holds the city's purse
strings, as it were. and says there
is no item in the budget that tends
to cover the expense of suppress

overdraft looms.

the death certificate, although posi-

consent to eXhume the body. The
woman's husband also consented.
At 2 o'clock this morning the
party reached the cemetery. The
body was exhumed. The first test
was the carbolic acid test 1t failed

made in the breast and not a speck

negotiations. desire to place at the
disposal of the public, the following
facts in connection with the negoti-
atoms. The switchmen in the north
west territory made simultaneous
demands on 13 railroad companies
centering in the Twin Cities for an
increase in wages and certain
changes in service conditions. At
the suggestion of F. T. Hawley,
president of the Switchmen's Union
of North America, of whose organ
iZation the switchmen in the north
west are members, arrangements
were made to conduct the negoti-
atoms In one conference.
TN the conference the railroads
were represented by a committee
of 10 managers and the switchmen
by F. T. Hawley and by other Off
GERS of the Switchmen's Union of
North America. The demands of the
switchmen were for double pay for
Sundays, holidays and overtime; an
advance of so cents per day of 10
hours in the wages of switchmen,
switch tenders, towermen, engine
herders and ASST slant yardmas-
tiers; modification of the rule pro-
viding for the payment of penalty
in case of failure to permit the
switchmen to secure their meal in
the middle of their shift at a stated
period, which contemplateS double
pay in cases where it became nee
essary to work a portion of the
meal hour, and the elimination of
the physical examination aud the
age limit placed upon switchmen
entering the service.
Five conferences were held at ST.
Paul, in which the switchmen in no
detail receded from their demands,
which, if conceded, would have en-
tailed an additional expense upon
the railroad for switching service of
from 40 to As per cent.
The managers committee offered
the switchmen an increase of 20
cents per day in the territory west
of Havre, Mont, on the Great
Northern railway, and west of Bill
ings, Mont, on the Northern Pacific
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 over IS
per cent in November, 1906, and
because the rates at that time es-
tablished had not been reduced
during the period of business de-
preston which followed. The at
tention of the switchmen was call
ed to the fact that in 1906 the
switchmen were granted a larger
percentage of increase than any
other class of employees in train
service. At the present rates the
wages of switchmen average over
500 per month.
On November %, 1909, in sub
hitting its final answer to the
switchmen, the managers commit
tee. assuming that the switchmen
Joined in the desire for an ami
cable adjustment of the question
