Strike Not Expected

OAKLAND, Dec. 12-No preparations
are being made here By either the
railroads or the engineers brotherhood
Tor a walkout of the men, although
IL IS known that the vote counted 1t
chicago by the general officers of the
brotherhood showed the requfte two
thirds Of the members favoring a strike.
Such a Juncture would not in any case
come before several days or even weeks
elapse, for the general committee must
by the rules of strike procedure renew
the demands on the companies for
higher pay. The belief here among
men who understand the situation casts
doubt on the probability of a strike.
Whatever the next move in the con
test is, ii win be made by the govern
ing board of the engineers brother

ing polled vote ordering them to call
a strike, the general officers, IL is ex-
planned. will proceed strategicany.
They will renew the demand for higher
wages. which was refused by the rail-
roads. Then, instead of ordering all
the men off their. engines, the leaders

appeal To the federal government for
arbitration.
This appeal will be made under the
provisions of the Erdman act. which
PROVIDES Tor arbitration, but not for
compulsory arbitra tion. Officials of the
federal government will then offer
their services as arbitrators, and must
be accepted as. such by both the rail-
roads and the engineers committee.
The grievances of the men will be laid
before this board, with the defense Of
the companies. Whatever decision the
arbitrators render may be accepted
by both parties to the controversy, or
peremptorily rejected: either the rail-
roads or the brotherhood may refuse
10 accept the terms of the decision. in
which case there will be brought about
no change in the situation.
Were strike imminent, it is pointed
out that preparations would be under
way in this county. Oakland. as the
terminal OF the western division of the
Southern Pacific company and the West
ern Pacific company. is one of the main
strategic points in a strike on this
coast. The Southern Pacific and other
railroads here are not laying in supplies
LOT emergency use. nor are they engag-
ing men to act as strike breakers. This
pacific attitude of the railroads. co,,nled
with the procedure yet to be followed
by the general board of the engineers
brotherhood is taken TO preclude anv
lkeiihood of an immediate walkout.

SHE is A "PIPPIN';
ALSO PHILOSOPHER
By MARY AsHE MILLER

It is certain that Mrs. Smith, or
Mrs. Leahy, or Margaret Henry, or
whatever may be the name of the
young woman in the city prison
charged with completely in the gold

unanimously and intimately by the
police and the police reporters as "a

a captain of industry's fortune or

When 1 went to see her yesterday,
she said she would not talk and she
did not!
She chatted and smiled and made
little jokes. and nothing came from
her beautiful red lips but the ver-
lest nothings during the course of

Perhaps a newspaper training is
necessary to make one appreciate
the marvel of that.
She is young-twenty-si she told
me-and she is pretty, with fresh
coloring and lot of crinkly dull
brown hair which appeared to be all
her own as far as braids went. More
than that she is altogether likable.
One begins to have a personal inter-
est in her. If she is a criminal then

Ny, that does get on my nerves, the
poor thing. They say she is crying

Il hate the notoriety of it all. I
have always felt that any kind of
publicity would be hard for me to
bear and of course this is my first
experience of anything of the kind"
A little later she said with a soft
little smile. Il have always had a
good time in my life because 1 have
always made the best of everything.

There is trace of braggadoccio in
what she. says. 1t is a simple state
ment and you may take it or leave
it as you like. She doesn't like
blonde women, and she would trust
a woman rather than a man.
During the conversation she said:
Il would not trust a woman that is
a blonde l hate blondes" and she
looked sidewise out of her eyes with
a touch of vicious hatred that made
me glad for once that the darker
shades were chosen for my own
color scheme. She would not say
why, but it was the one moment

the fact that some women soon fell

few days became untidy, unwashed
and slovenIy in Jail, she said:

be called out any minute and that

men around. II should think any
woman would have tSo much pride
to look dirty before a man. Maybe.
though she said with a little jok-

men are like other men"
But despite this she says she
would not talk to man as freely
as to a woman.
IF I had anything to tell, would
tell you; I wouldn't tell it to a
man. Not much she said posi-
lively.
The more you talk to her, the
more you must respect her brain
although l do not feel that the spe-

wise. OF course, we have all known

For Disturbing
The Peace,

A disturbance occurred in the redlight
district Sunday night, eventuating the
following day in the arrest Of four
young fellows, on complaint of Gladys
Spencer, the proprietor of the house in
which the disturbance arose. Those
arrested were H. Meek Jerry Driscoll,
Steve Angove jr, and Virgilio Boro.
1t seems they repaired to the house of
the complainant and started in TO make
a rough house. They we're expostulated
upon their proceedings by another who
happened to be there, and the result
was that two of the disturbers renewed
the quarrel with the peacemaker on
Main street afterwards, and go! worsted.
After the arrest OF the four an effor.
was made to retaliate by getting a war
rant for the protestant, but without sue
cess. Boro pleaded guilty before city
recorder, and was fined $40, which he
paid. The other three concluded to
stand trial, and gave bail for their ap-
pearance.
The accused deny having created
disturbance, and claim the damage done
to the gas fixture was purely accidental.
The cases have been set for trial next
