BUSINESS TRRIVES
OUT IN LEXINGTON

Washington's Industrial and manufac-
turing center is rapidly shifting from
the southwest TO the northeast and ad-
justing itself along the tracks of the
new freight terminals from Union Sta

avenue. In this section is located Eek
ington, the very heart of the new COM
mercial territory.
The biggest deal recently closed in
this section was the purchase Of a site
at the corner of No, h Capitol ard G
streets. on which will be constructed
a city postoffice. Next TO this deal, in
point OF magnitude, was the purchase
of a lot at First and L streets by Swift

Other improvements made during the
last few months consist Of the erection

CONSPIRACY
CASES BEFORE
JUDGE STOCKER

This morning a change of venue
was taken from Judge Mann's court
in the case of the five members of
the Industrial Workers arrested
last night at the 1. w. w. hall on a
charge of criminal conspiracy.
Mrs. J. A. Jones, known among
socialists and in the Industrial
movement by her maiden name,
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, was among
those arrested. She was taken into
custody as she was approaching the
l. w. w. hall. The other arrests
are of Louis .Gatewood, who was
presiding over the meeting; Will
liam Douglas, acting secretary;
George H. Speed and C. M. Connor.
The last named is a member of the

sent by Judge Mann. Bonds in the
cases has been placed at $4,000,

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 a 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.

November %, 1909), after a dis
cussion of the proposal to arbitrate
under the terms of the Erdman
act. at the suggestion of President
Hawley, joint telegram was adj
dressed as follows:

Charles P. Neill, United States
Commissioner of Labor, Washing
ton, d. c.: The conference COM
mittee of general managers of rail-
ways and the Switchmen's Union
OF North America, representing the
railways of the northwest and the
switchmen employed thereon, hav-
ing been in session at st. Paul.
Mimi, during the past four days

tain questions at issue, jointly in
vite your good offices as mediators
under the Erdman act, and request
your presence here on Saturday,
November 81, to that end. Please
wire answer Immediately. (Signed)
l. G. Rawn, Chairman Managers
Commute; w. T. Hawley, Presi-
dent Switchmen's Union of North
America"
AS a result Of this telegram, Mon
day. November goth, was selected
as the day for 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, a strike order was
issued by the switchmen's commit
tee, directing the switchmen of the
IL northwestern railroads to cease
work at p. m, November 80, 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 it.
The managers committee believes
that the public interests should not
suffer because of a disagreement
where a 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. I. G.
