conferenee Action important

Minneapolis. Dec 15-The meeting
called for next Saturday, at 10 a. m. by
II. S. Perham, chairman of the railroad
employees department of the American
Federation of Labor will bring together
IN st. Paul delegates from nearly ev-
cry line of railroad work, and is con-
sdered the most important event or
the. immediate future relative to the
switchmen's strike. D. A. Harshbarger.
third vice president of the federation,
said that while he can not forecast
the action of the meeting, 1t is called
exclusively to discuss the matter of a
sympathetic strike.
]. NJ. Gruber. general manager of
the Great Northern road stated that
the compromise proposition OF the
switchmen, for arbitration under the
Erdman act, with an agreement not to
appeal to the courts, was made by the
railroads when Martin A. Knapp and
Charles p. Neill were here. AT that
time, Mr.. Gruber said, Mr.. Hawley
stated that he would not entersein a
proposal for arbitration
The statements that the switchmen
are willing to settle for an advance of
cents an hour are unauthorative, ac-
cording to Mr.. Harshbarger, who said
that no such understanding had been
reached at headquarters.

COMPREHENSIVE LEGISLATION
CONTEMPLATED IN COMMERCE
DEPARTMENT BILL.
AMENDMENT TO PROHIBIT
INTERSTATE TRAFFIC
Proposed Measure Expected to En-
body Very Largely the Recommended
tions Made BY the Legislative Body,
as Far as May Be Done BY Congress
sionaI Enactment.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Complehensive
'egislationti designed to eradicate the
Ills of the white slave traffic." is
contemplated in a measure being pre-
pared at the department of commerce
and labor. The matter is being gone
over very carefully and when complet-
ed will be submitted to congress, to-
gether with the annual report of Com
missioner Keefe of the immigration
bureau. -
Senator Dillingham;, chairman of the
United States immigration commission,
which, In making public the results of
its investigation. has called attention
to the revolving conditions existing
from operations of the traffic in wom-
en-, has been in conference with Of
fcials of the department and it is ex-
pected that the proposed bill will en-
body very largely the recommendations
made by the legislative body to remedy
the evil, as far as this may be done
by congressional enactment.
In his annual report Secretary Nagel
recommended that the law prohibiting
the bringing of women into the United
States for immoral purposes be amend
ed so as to prohibit interstate traffic
Of this character, and the probability
is that the measure to be submitted to
congress will incorporate provision
designed to further this subject

United States Condemned.

Mexico City, Dec. 15-Resolutfons
ratified at a mass meeting of Central
Americans last night was mailed to
President Taft and Senator Knox.
They declare "the United States has
no right to intervene in Central Amer
lea. and We affirm that the purpose of
your government is consummate in
the offense against Nicaragua, arous-
ing political passions, taking advant-
age of the crudelity and disloyalty of
some Central Americans.
Nicaragua has grounds to consider
that the present revolution was pro-
NOTED by the government of the Unit
ed States and has a perfect right to
claim indemnization for loss of life
and the interest involved.
'1f the United States had sought
an equitable and impartial solution it
would have accepted the mediation
offered by Mexico to solve the ques-
ton peacefully.
1--WE consider your note was not in
spired by a government friendly to
the people Of Central America, and
protest. against the aggression your
government is practicing against Mica
ragua. We call upon all our country
men to be alert respecting the domi-
mating absorbing tendencies of the
American government in order that
they act as the patriotism and inde-
pendence of our fire republics require"

New York, Dec. 15.-The threat of
Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri
can League, to refuse to sit on the ma
tional commission should John. NJ.

tically a base ball war between the two
