morse she may have killed herself, ana

do not expect any trouble from the
switchmen's strike" said Mr. Krutt-
sChnitt.
Concerning telegraph reports this
morning to the effect that the strike
would affect eastern lines as we'll as
those Of the northwest and probably
would result in a general tie-up of traf-
nc all over the continent he said the
story was much exaggerated. lie also
said that he knew of no railroad COM
panies who would advise their shippers
TO get their shipments in early in an

The long talked of cutoff from We

a reality within the year according
to Mr.. kruttschnitt.
