|SWITcHMEN'S TROUBLES
WITHHELD FROM TAFT
FOR THE PRESENT
r-O
MANAGERS INSIST
TRAFFIC IS BEING MOVED
Labor Leaders Privately Admit
Strike Is a Failure for
the Men

Washington, Jan. 3.--According to
statements made here today in Off
cial quarters. the outlook Is now
promising for an early ending Of the
strike on the Northwestern railroads
The railway managers will be sound,
ed this week in an effort to ascel-
tain upon what basis they would be
willing TO compromise. Labor lead.
ers here privately admit that SO far
as the men are concerned the strike
has proved failure. The railroad
managers insist that they are moving
traffic with little or no interruption
and official information received
here seems to confirm this statement
II. Fl. b, Perham of the railway de-
partment Of the American Federation
came here with the intention Of ask
ing the president to intercede In the
switchmen's strike, he has either
changed his mind on the subject or
has decided to defer taking the case
10 the White House.
Mediators Provoked At iiawley
While the announcement was made
that no proceedings had been taken
toward the adoption OF plan to
bring the railway managers and the
railway employees together. the hone
Is expressed here that there will be
some development early In the week
While neither Chairman Knapp nor
Commissioner Neil can be induced
to make any comment on the sitna-
tion, it is known that they were very
much provoked with the action Of
President Hawley Of the switchmen's
union in calling the strike after
Nests. Knapp and Nell had been
asked to intervene and attempt sell
tlement OF the trouble under the
terms of the Erdman act
However these officials are willing
TO resume their efforts to bring
about harmony In the railway world
although in this instance it Is the un
derstanding that they will not act un-
til thev are given positive assurances
that the labor leaders will abide by
any agreement that may be made
looking to c0ncillatory oyerturcs 70
the railroads.
Conference To Be Resumed
The conference between Messrs
Knapp. Neil and perham was resum
ed today. Following It there Is likely
to be some exchange between the fed
eral Officers and the railway man
ayers II present plans are carried
out the likelihood is that the presi'
dent will not be asked to intercede
The administration has taken deep
interest in the matter, but so far II
has not been advised officially that a
strike Is In progress.
Mr. Perham expressed the hope
that the strike would be brought to an
end without recourse to such an ex
treme measure as asking the presi
dent to intercede.

 T won't pitch on the Cub team or any other club next year, and I am in earnest when I say so. am not going to quit because of anything that has happened in, this series or at any time this season. lam just tired of the job and I don't want any more of it.'
 'I like baseball and would be glad to play any other position. if some one will try me as an outfielder, a catcher or a first baseman I may de- eide to stick to the game a while longer.

HOW FORMER WORLD
 SERIES RESULTED
Nationals Have Won 4 and the Americans 3-Giants Refused to Play in 1904

The series just closed is the seventh between the two major leagues as they are constituted at present. and the Ma tiohal League has been victorious four times against three for the American League. Boston and Pittsburg began the present system of interleague se- ries in 1903. and at that time the clubs decided on nine games Boston brought the first championship to the American League by winning four straight games. after losing three of the first four played. In 1904, when the New York Nationals and Boston Americans won in their respective 'leagues New York declined to play series. and that winter the National Commission made a ruling that the winning teams of the two leagues should meet each fall in a series of seven games. or until one team had won four games
 The New York Nationals and the Philadelphia Americans were the first teams to compete under this arrange ment, and the National I4eaguers had an easy time, winning four out of five games. This series was featured by five shutout games. In 1906 the Chi cago White Sox, after breaking even in the first four games with the Cubs. won two in succession. thereby taking the series In 1907 the Cubs and the
