SEVERED
RELATIONS

BALTIMORE, MD, March s.
Ninety per cent. of the trainmen OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad hav-
Ing voted to reject the offer of the
officials of the system concerning the
wage question, the committee In
charge of negotiations this afternoon
communicated that fact to the COM
panys officers. After brief session,
all negotiations between the company
and the Representatives of the train
men were broken off absolutely.
A. Il. Garretson, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
then announced that a great strike
was inevitable, and that at meeting
called for late to-day the commit
tee would reach a decision as to the
time when the men would be ordered
to walk out
Immediately following this it was
announced by officials OF the road
that Chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Commission Knapp and United
States Commission of Labor Neill had
been wired to and asked to intervene
and prevent one Of the greatest rail-
road strikes in the history of the
country. The railroad asks that
Messrs. Knapp and Neill arrange ar
bitration.
The Baltimore and Ohio has been
looked upon as a pivotal road in the
demands of the trafnmen all over the
East. and the men believe that a
Baltimore and Ohio strike would In
yolve many big systems.

MILL CREEK POWER
PLANT BIG CONCERN
Will Supply Electric Current
for Many Towns of Salt
Lake Valley.

The power plant of the Mil Creek
Power company in Mill Creek canyon,
is rapidly nearing completion and the
prospects arc that in the near future
the new plant will be sending out
2600 horsepower to the mines and
smclters of the valley. The contracts
call for the completion Of the work
by December l OF this year. and from
all Indications the plant will be built
before that time.
A reservoir has been built by the
company five miles up the canyon, and
from this a pipe line runs down the
side of the canyon at q gentle slope.
AT the mouth the water will be turned
into drop tube. which will be 1000
feet long. The water will develop suf-
fcient power to run two gigantic water
whoels, each generating 1900 horse,
power.
The electric current will he carried
TO Midvale by means Of high tension
wires, and from there Will be distrib-
uted to various cities and towns in
the valley. Contracts have already
been closed to furnish the town of Mid
vale with light and power and also the
United States Smelling company at that
place.
1t is estimated that the entire cost
of the plant will run close TO $780,
600. The work is beng done by Gray
