SW|TCHMEN
AND ROADS
To SET lie
Arbitration Will be Made
Of DifferenceS--Technic-
al Points Make Delay

ST. PAUL, Dec. 25.-Only one OBJ
stacle remains in the way of a settle
ment of the Switchmen's strike in
the Northwest, as the result of the
conference between railroad officials
and representatives of the railway
council of the American Federation
of Labor in Governor Eberhart's of
fee. Both sides are agreed on all
questions except Tie time when all
striking switchmen shall be taken
back to work.
The railroads offered to take back
as many of the strikers Immediately
as they have places for and thenSre-
employ the others just as soon as
places can be made vacant. 1t was
suggested that it may take thirty
days before all of the men could be
put back to work, but President Haw-
ley of the Switchmen's union said he
would agree to nothing short of sim
ultaneous unemployment of all the
men.
Governor Eberhart is trying to OBJ
tain a concession from the railroads
on this point, and he announced this
evening that the officials have al
ready taken steps to reach some
agreement.
Today the striking switchmen
agreed to submit the controversy to
arbitration and abide by the decision
of the board now being organized in
Chicago to settle the dispute be-
tween the Chicago lines and their
switchers. The concessions demand
ed by the Twin City and Chicago
switchmen are identical. The rate of
pay pending the outcome of the
Chicago proceedings will be that in
effect Nov. 1st. If the Chicago con-
ference results in an increase in
wages the lines will put it into ef-
feet.

PLAN
To DEFEAT
THE UNIONS

PITTSBURG, Dec. 25.-Follow-
ing close on the declaration of war,
made by the heads of all labor unions
against the United States Steel cor
poration- there were some important
conferences in the Pitsburg Offices of
the corporation.
1t is admitted that Pittsburg, with
it's thousands of workmen, will be the
battle ground, if battle there is to be.
The 10000 workmen of the cor
poration, are looked to stand fast, no
matter what action may be taken by
the labor unions.
1t has been decided to issue quietly
to the stockholding workmen of the
corporation a statement now being
prepared, in which it will be set forth
just what profits have been paid them
since the purchase of the stock,
what the stock which they have been
permitted to purchase out of their
earnings is now worth in cash, etc.
This it is expected. will rouse the
defensive fighting blood of the stock
holding workmen, and will prepare
them to oppose the 1000 employees
Of the corporation, who have never
taken advantage of the opportunity
to buy the stock out of their earn
ings.
1t is expected further that at least
900 additional workmen will take
advantage of another issue of stock
to be offered employees soon, and with
$4,000 Of it's best workmen in the
mills each s-ockholder, the corpora
tion hopes to bid defiance to any
concerted move to close its plants.
According to statement made
last midnight from the Office of the
Carnegie Steel Co., and which is sup
posed to have been inspired from the
head Office of the Steel corporation
at New York, the corporation has
since its inception been planning to
checkmate just such move as has
been announced by the allied
heads of labor organizations of the
country, and working quietly and
swiftly it has prepared to successful
ly combat all moves. The statement
comes in the shape of an interview

WOULD HAVE
SHUFFLEO To
NEXT WORLD

L. Taylor, a tool dresser, got
dressy himself on Xmas eve at Ruth, !,
and went forth to trip the light fan
tastic toe in the thirst fount of Herr
Nelson. There was a breezy night
at Nelson's and Taylor was soon sail
ing under a full stretch of canvass
before the bar. Pretty soon it didn't
make any difference which way the
wind blew, for the sea was choppy
and Taylor was tacking. Athwart
his bows blew a taut little rig, and
it was all off with the tool dresser.
For brief time all went well and
they breasted the waves together.
Then the saucy little craft gave him
the slip, and took aboard another
skipper. Then the barometer fell
for Taylor, and he sought to soothe
the stormy seas with oil of laudanum.
They found him at o'clock breath
ing his last, and poured ten cups of
hot grease down his gullet, and sent
for DIR. Lew Wallace. The grease
didn't seem to have the desired er-
feet, and mustard was introduce0
with disagreeable consequences. To
soften the effect of the mustard,
salt was added, and by the time the

with local official of the corporation
whose name is withheld. 1t reads:
when we suggested that the en-
ployes purchase the stock of the cor
poration, we had two objects in view;
First, we wanted to make them good
faithful employees and to cause them
to take an interest in their work and
feel that they were not only a work
ing, but financial part of great
corporation. We know that we have
accomplished this. The men realize
that they are making extra money
through dividends and the raise in
stock on their own labors and are
willing to continue.
'sThe second reason, and the one
which will have it's effect in the
present crisis, is, we feared, at some
time, as is the case in large success
full corporation, that some dissatisfi-
ed person would try to inaugurate a
strike.
"When such a person, or even a
body of labor leaders, realize they
are endeavoring to make men strike
and pull down the value of something
that they themselves own, they I'M
mediately will see the futility of call
ing a strike.
Practically every frugal man in
the employ of the corporation is the
owner of several shares of stock.
They are accumulating more and
more each day. They believe in the
corporation, and they will not leave
it. On the other hand, there are a
number of spendthrifts among the
employees who may go out on strike
if called, but when they see the bull
wark of the corporation, the good
employees remain at their furnaces,
it is doubtful If then they would
strike"

WITHDRAW APPLICATION.
Railroad People Take Down Request
Put Before County.

AS was predicted in The News of
Friday, Attorney S. w. Belford, rep
resenting Messrs. Bernheimer,
Thompson and Smith in their appli-
cation for a franchise for right-of-
way for the Ely Goldfield railroad
through White Pine County, appear
ed before the adjourned meeting of
the board of county, commissioners
Friday morning, and withdrew the
document from further considera-
tion. Mr.. Belford explained that the
action of the city council of Ely in
laying on the table the application
for a franchise for a right-of-way
through the city made the route out
lined in the county application i'm
practical. Mr.. Be'ford's request to
withdraw the application was
granted.
Aside from the withdrawal of the
franchise application, only matters of
a routine character came up. A. B..
Colwell was authorized to make
maps of each township in the coun-
ty, and a few small bills were allow

An Ancient Industry.

It would be difficult to say wh'!e exactly and at what date the manu!a>- : ture of cotton fabrics began. In com paratively modern times. says Country Life, it has become an industry or lm' portance in Europe. but it has four ished in the east from period too re, mote to admit of calculation. The Egyptians certainly used both cotton and linen materials. for fragments or such stuffs have been preserved among the other relics of their ancient civl- lization. and there is much reason to believe that the elaborate draperies of the Assyrians were cotton or muslins finely woven and of delicate texture. In China. too. and India the same kinds of material have been the com mon wear of the people from time in memorial. ln fact. everyw here throuSf out the eae cotton fabrics were pro duced and used long before the priml' tive Europeans had begun to develop anv of the graceS of civilization or ln- decd had ceased to be anything but skin cad savages.
