Chicago. March 1.-THE contro-
vsrsy which has been under discus
sion for more than six weeks involves
forty-seven railroads operating west.
northwest and southwest of Chicago.
and embraces about 10000 miles Of
railroads.
1t has previously been stated by
both sides that II strike were called
It would tie up practically every
freight and passenger train between
Chicago and the Pacific coast.
The strike has been called-that
much is certain" said Mr.. Carter. at
means that not only $4,000 firemen,
members of our union. will go out, but
that perhaps many more employees
will be thrown out in consequence.
I'VE gave our ultimatum to the rail-
roads that the men had voted to strike
and that we are prepared to call one
unless we were granted arbitration Of
all questions In dispute. The railroads
refused to arbitrate anything but the
wage question.
AT midnight tonight we decided 1t
was useless to parlev further with the
railroad managers. We adopted reso-
luton calling a strike. Owing to the
lateness of the hour and in order that
the men would not go out in confusion
and NOT knowing the true state of af-
fairs, we agreed to wait until tomor-
row before telegraphing the order"
Chairman w. c. Nixon, on behalf of
the railroad managers, issued the fol.
lowing statement:
1.-THE railroads have not received the
answer Of the firemen's committee.
Consequently we hesitate to make
comment. But it does not seem rea-
sonable that strike will be ordered
in the face of offered arbitration. The
railroads offered to arbitrate the wage
question January 27th and this offer
.etill holds good.
'In case the Eremen's reply is to the
effect that strike will be called the
railroads will invoke the aid Of the
Erdman act through the chairman Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Commissioner of Labor in
Washington to prevent the labor lead
ers from carrying out their threat"

COOPERATION
PROCLAMATION REGARDING AN.
swERs TO QUESTIONS PUT BY
CENSUS ENUMERAToRs.
FOR REFUSAL
INFORMATION Is CONFIDENTIAL
AND ONLY ASKED FOR STA
TIsTicAL PURPOSES.


Washington.-On Tuesday the Pres
ident issued a proclamation calling
upon all citizens of the country to
lend their aid toward making the cuf-
rent census success.
The text of the proclamation fol-
lows:
BY the President of the United States
of America
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, By the Act Of Congress
approved July I'd, 1909. the Thirteenth
Decennial Census of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the fif-
teenth day of April, nineteen hundred
and ten; and
Whereas, A correct enumeration OF
the population every ten years is re-
quired by the Constitution Of the
United States for the purpose of deter
mining the representation Of the sew
eral states in the House of Represen-
tatives; and
Whereas, 1t is of the utmost impor-
tance to the interests Of all the people
of the United States that this census
should be complete and accurate re-
port of the population and resources
of the country: -
Now, therefore, 1, William Howard
Taft, President of the United States
of America, do hereby declare and
make known that, under the act afore-
said. it is the duty of every person to
answer all questions on the census
schedules applying to him and the
90 80 to1 h nd fA tho
farm occupied by him or his family,
and that any adult refusing to do SO is
subject to penalty.
The sole purpose of the census is to
secure general statistical information
regarding the population and resources
of the country, and replies are re-
quired from individuals only in order
to permit the compilation of such gen.
eral statistics. The census has moth
ing to do with taxation, with army or
Jury service, with the compulsion of
school attendance. with the regulation
of immigration, or with the enforce
ment of any national, state, or local
law or ordinance, nor can any person
be harmed in any way by furnishing
the information required. There need
be no fear that any disclosure will be
made regarding any individual person
or his affairs. For the due protection
of the rights and interests Of the per-
son furnishing information every en-
ploye of the Census Bureau is prohib-
tied, under heavy penalty, from dis
closing any information which may
thus come to his knowledge.
I therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, complete
ly and accurately all inquiries ad-
dressed to them by the enumerators or
other employees of the census bureau,
and thereby to contribute their share
toward making this great and neces-
sary public undertaking a success
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and seal and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington
