While Another Vote
is Taken.

Spokane. Dec 16.--According to
the latest information received in
Spokane Friday morning, the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Engineers
will not strike for at least month,

cago threw down the gauntlet to the
General Managers association in
their meeting Wednesday, after a
conference which lasted more than
three days.

ing off their action is that several
unions in the neighborhood of Chi
cago wish to take another vote on
the matter and in Difference to the
old-timers on the Chicago & Alton,
Illinois Central, Chicago & North
western and Burlington systems. the
question will not be settled for about
three or four weeks
Local employees of the Inland.
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
are expecting word from their local
officers OF the Chicago committee s
action and several have been notified
Of the delay.
Even should the strike be called
at the end of the month it is not be-
lieved locally that he engineers OF
the Middle Western roads could af-
feet the trouble very much either
way, for the old-timers have snap
jobs and are still running light en-
gines. These same engineers would
be totally at loss trying to run the
modern Mallet compound in the
heavy freight service, OF With { the

Denies Suttons QuaIreled.

J. II. Sutton. the head of the SUIT
ton family. this morning made an
emphatic denial to reporter Of the
Daily World, that any of his family
had engaged in quarrelsome words
with Mrs. Totten or her mother. The
only acts of hostility on the part OF
any Of the members of the family
were the two times when the fence
was cut across the only road from
his home to the outside world.
All the charges of the women that
they were insulted by the. Sutton
boys Of called bad names, are brand
ed as lies. If they would lie, as
they did about so many things" said
Mr.. Sutton, why wouldn't they lie
about this?"
The father who has lost his son
and whose grief is intensified as the
days go by, feels bitterly the injus-
tice of so many believing that his
boys had abused the two women. He
insisted that they were gentleman
" at all times, never swearing oil
using lewj language, and only cut
the fence when 1t was absolutely
necessary to come to and from the
home.
