Quarrel Between Vice Prest.
Whitney of Trainmen and {
HaWIey Of SWitchmen.
BECOMING RATHER BITTER.
May Cause Disscnsion Among Strikers
Situation Generally Is
Unchanged

st Paul, Dec. with both sides
expressing confidence the fourth day
OF the switchmen's strike began with
no apparent progress made toward a
settlement OF the controversy
While the switchmen still claim TO
have the situation in hand. the rail-
roads have been making headway
by their steady Importation of new
men and today they promise to
handle more freight than at any time
since the strike began.
The claim that as soon as all the
new men now on their way arrive
and become familiar with the yards.
normal conditions Will be established.
Reports from Duluth state that the
strike at the head of the lakes is
practically broken but in the Twin
been able to handle much business.
Discussion among various business
organizations of the Twin Cities yes
terday is expected to result in some
definite movement to bring the rail-
roads and switchmen together for
conference today.
The railroad officials say. however.
that they Will make no concessions
and that If the switchmen return TO
work 1t will have to be under the
same conditions that prevailed be-
fore the strike.
A quarrel between Vice President
Whitney of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen and President Hawley
of the Switchmen's union is the latest
element injected Into the strike.
Whitney. who hurried to Duluth from
Buffalo In response to demand from
those switohmcn who are members OF
tho brotherhood declares the switch
men were not given an opportunity to
vote on the strike In connection with
section 3l2 of their constitution. Haw-
ley retorts that the men were given
the opportunity and the vote was
taken.
Whitney also says 10 per cent of the
switchmen at the head of the lakes are
members of tho brotherhood and. Will
not abide by the strike order and &c
| this Hawley replies that only three .oi
the brotherhood men have returned
to work.
T. whitney says the Switchmen's Unior
| OF North America, in calling the strike
| Was unfair to the brotherhood. unfaii
with It's own members and unfair Will
the railroads."
To this last statement President
| Hawley rctortcd today; "Whitney's
| statement is lame and contemplate
excuse, for the men that he wants to sc
back as scabS.'

DECLINES TO DISCUSS
QUESTION OF GENERAL STRIKE

Chicago. Dec Wv. G. Lee. of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
who is here today conducting nego-
tiations with Chicago railroad officials.
declined to discuss in detail the pub
lishcd reports that the roads of the
country are on the verge of great
labor war.
"It is misleading to say that the
trainmen's organizations have made
demands for increased wages from the
roads, he said today. The PROPOSE
ton for an increase of wages on the
lines east OF Chicago has been re-
ferred by the officials of the organiza-
tions TO the men themselves. There
are at least $4,000 interested and each
man must consider the proposition OF
the demand for more wages and vote
ON it before any such demand can
be made
at Will take some time for the de-
cision of the men to be registered
and until then the situation cannct
be regarded as acute"

SITUATION
PRACTICALLY UNCHANGED

Seattle. Wash. Dec. 3.-The strike sit
uatIon In the Pacific northwest is pruc-
tically unchanged since yesterday Both
the Great Northern and Northern Paci-
fic railways have several switching
crews at work here and also have a
number of green men undergoing in
strliction preparatory to adding them
to the forces. Although there has been
some movement of freight. the congcs-
ton In the yards has not been relieved
sufficiently and the embargo against
the receipt Of freight from shippers
has not been entirely removed. The
action OF the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen in ordering Its members back
TO work in the passenger yards mas
enabled the roads to get their trans
continental flyers out on time. Passcn-
ger trains are moving with accustomed
regularity. subject only TO those de-
lays caused by washouts due TO the re-
cent severe floods.
Operating officials OF the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern say they
are gradually resuming freight traffic.
The Seattle Transfers union has de-
cided not to strike in sympathy with
the switchmen.

mine in the Clark mountains. fifty
miles west of SearchliSht. New. was
brought here today and taken to a
private hospital His mother-In-law.
Mrs. A. W. McCune. wife Of the Salt

way here and is expected tonight.
Green is desperately wounded The
bullet fired by Fitzpatrick struck him
in the abdomen and there are great
doubts OF his recovery.
According to reports from Nipton,
where Green was placed aboard the
Salt Lake limited bound for this city.
the shooting was the result OF dis
pute between Green. who owns the
Tungsten mine, and Fitzpatrick and
his wife. The Fitzpatricks, 1t Is assert
ed. demanded pay for supplies they
are said to nave furnished. Green is
alleged 10 have struck Mrs. F1tz-
patrick during the quarrel that fol-
lowed. The woman's husband there
upon fired at Green Fitzpatrick is
reported to have surrendered.
Ernest Greene WAS we'll known in
ried Miss Jack McCune. daughter OF

Green was taken to a hospital

Fitzpatrick had been cunning for
each other but those who knew
Greene are not inclined TO believe
the statement.
The marriage of Greene and Miss
McCune was bitterly opposed by the
latter's parents, but they were mar
rled secretly and the fact did not
leak out for some time. They lived
