American residents of the City of

Taft for the appointment of Theodore

THE MUSICIANS.
little Trouble AmieabIy Settled and
All is Now Peaceful.

The Musical Union met last Sunday.
and after a short session it adjusted
a trouble that was never very big in
fact. but which had been unduly mag
nified by the daily press. Some time
ago the daily papers intimated that
there would be big trouble in the
organization over the matter of Prof
August Hagenow's membership. Mr..
Hagenow had been given an honorary
membership in the union. he having
announced his withdrawal from the
field of professional music. When the
park concerts were inaugurated Prof.
Hasenow became the director of the
band. and the union insisted that he
take an active membership. Because
OF misunderstanding and unwarranted
Interference the matter became pub
lie. and it was intimated that Prof
HSgenow would not consent TO becom-
ing an active member, and that this
meant a split in the ranks of the
organization.
At no time has The Wageworker
believed this possible. and its faith
in the good sense of Prof. Hagenow
and the organizations rank and file
has been indicated. Last Sunday
Prof. Hagenow attended the meeting

He explained his attitude. and then
the union explained its attitude. All
this took but few minutes. and then

Dual Organization at ST. Joseph Shot
Full Of Bio Holes.


A year or two ago there was a split
in the ranks of the St Joseph Bar
tenders Union, and seeding members
joined with a lot of proprietors in
organizing a 'Barkeepers' Protective
Association" This organization was
not recognized by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, but it managed to
put the regular organization in a bad
way. But the union bartenders re-
manned loyal and bided their time.
1t came when the International Typo
graphical Union met there last week.
The protective union" bars soon dis
covered that the visitors would not
countenance them, and an active boy
colt was instituted. A union propa-
ganda was begun and waged with
vigor. and with the help of an organ
ixer of the regular body a lot was ac-
complished. During the week a
dozen or more bars were taken away

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-"Urge
upon Mexico the Importance of hurry
ing the trial of James A. Cook" was
in substance the message telegraph
ed by the State department today to
the American ambassador at Mexico
City.
The action followed a conference
between Assistant Secretary of State
Wilson and Representative Scott, of
Kansas. Cook is a constituent of
Mr.. SCOTS. Cook was arrested some
months ago by Mexican authorities
as the result of robbery of a freight
train. He protested his innocence,
but according to advices here was
held responsible because he was in
charge of the train.
Mr.. Scott advised the State depart
ment that railroad men of the south
were threatening reprisal on Mexico
by making it uncomfortable for Mex
lean railroad men entering Texas if
some action was not speedily taken
in Cooks case looking to his liberia
ton.

Big Strike Call
Is Coming In
The East

PITTSBURG, Dec. 20.-The
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
tomorrow will serve notice on sew
enty-five railroad companies east of
the Mississippi river that an in
crease in wages will be demanded,
the increase to be from five per cent
to forty per cent.
w. G. Lee, national president of
the Brotherhood, tonight refused to
say what action would be taken in
case the demand is refused. The re-
CEN referendum vote taken by the
trainmen on the demand resulted
practically in its favor.
About $4,000 members of the
Brotherhood are employed OF the
railroads affected.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The C
ton of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, as announced in Pittsburg
tonight, was not unexpected in New
York. Knowing that the referendum
vote was being taken, railroad hands
were preparing to meet the situa-
ton, and several conferences have
been held in the last two weeks.
1t is likely that a committee rep
resenting the employers will be ap-
pointed at once to arbitrate the mat
ter. Involving, as it does, all the
great lines in the east, it will be i'm
possible to predict what course each
road will pursue, but it is probable
that the roads will stand together on
the broader issues at stake.

of S. M. Mingus, proprietor of the
Veteran saloon, for an alleged vio-
lation of the city ordinance prohibit
ing women from singing and per-
forming in places where liquor is
sold. Mr.. Mingus entered a plea of
not guilty. He, however, explained
to the court that he caused to be
built an addition in the shape of a
raised stage, looking out on the sa-
loon floor, from which a woman sings
nightly, which he thinks does not
constitute an offense against the or
dinance. The complaint was issued
with a view of determining whether
or not the stage is a part of the sa-
loon and to test the ordinance. Aft
er the examination of Mr.. Mingus,
the hearing was continued until to-
morrow.
