Washington. Jan. lit was a walt
ing game last night in negotiations
for settlement of the switchmen's
strike on railroads entering St. Paul.
All yesterday the government medi-
alton board, consisting of Chairman
Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission and Commissioner of La
Dor Neill, together with II. B. Per-
ham of the order of Railway Tele-
graphers, head of the railroad branch
of the American Federation of La
Dor. wrestled with the problem of
what to do in behalf of the interests
affected by the strike, but without
definite action.
Meantime, Mr.. Perham has made
no appointment with President Taft,
who il is said at the white house, has
not taken UP the matter in any way.
The conference with the mediation
board was solicited by Mr.. Perham.

er matters. including general condi-
tions affecting the men, were con-
sidered.
No. Conference Probable Today.
Mr.. Perham said that there would
be no conference today unless some
thing extraordinary Develops" and
that he did not expect to confer again
until Monday. and that he did not ex-
pect in the interval to do any tele-
graphic negotiations.
Mr.. Perham submitted much docu-
mentary evidence bearing on the dis
pute between the railroads and the
switchmen.
fort was to seek some way of reacn-
ing a settlement; that he wanted a
resumption of negotiations between
the railroads and the men.
The railroads say they have the sit
uation we'll in hand; strikers hold the
contrary. SwitcHnen want all of the
strikers reinstated without prejudice;
railroads. which have employed
strikebreakers. refuse to make vacan-
cies for the strikers. Something like
$500 switchmen were said to be af-
fected by the strike originally, and
the understanding here is that nearly
all that number are still out.
Mills and other industries depend
ent upon full transportation facilities

ors of ST. Paul and Minneapolis tele-
graphed here urging a solution of the
problem. To these kilograms Messrs.
Knapp and Neill have replied, pledg-
ing their willingness to aid II the way

tions were considered but none crys-
talized.

say that nine out of every ten who build

to report, has engineered a number
of deals paving the way to riches.
Although Brown is under contract to

which the coin will come even faster

from Chicago to the effect that he
would be traded by Chance in return
for Camnitz of the Pittsburg slab
corps. To fellow citizens at Visalia

fifteen years ngo. This was before
most Of the present grapplers had
