FUTURE OF OLD NORTH
CHURCH rs IN DOUBT

Boston, March S.-The Old North church
otherwise known as Christ Episcopal
chureh-famous in song and story, was
buffeted by its friends before legisla-
tive committee today. Its historical val
ue was questioned, its title was declared
to lie witt the British crown, and its
future is In doubt.
The struggle today was due TO a bill
which provides that the state shall ac-
quire the church and maintain il as a
place of Historic interest. The joint
committee on ways and means heard
three parties to the controversy.
Sexton Watkins, who gets his salary
from fees, remarked that the story of the
signal lantern which is said to have sent
Paul Revere off on his memorable ride
has been questioned and based mostly on
Longfellows poem. One of the petition
ers member of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, admitted that Il
re cent examination of The title had
shown that it mad never been relin-
quished by the crown of England. Then
a secondary quarrel developed between
the Episcopal diocese and the parish as
to the ownership of the church.
Finally the committee learned that the
bill had been Withdrawn and abruptly
closed the hearing.
The district in which tie historic edi-
fee stands is peopled by foreigners and
their descendants.

RAILROAD MEN MAY
GO OUT ON STRIKE

Chicago March Sunless the railroads
of the west, northwest and southwest
make additional. concessions to their fire.
men and enginemen the men will go out
on strike to compel the granting of de-
mands for higher wages and improved
working conditions. This is the ultimatum
of the employees as expressed by complete
returns from the strike vote recently
taken by the men on about so railroads in
these sections of the country, it is stated.
A committee representing the members
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, which has been III
session here since March / counting the
ballots. completed its task and gave out
the official figures on the vote today. Ac-
cording to the announcement trife more
than Sc per cent of the union employees Of
the railroads were opposed to accepting
the offer of the railroad managers COM
n1ittee, and a little more than SO per cent
of the non-union men employed by the
roads voted against the proposition.
Although the strike was voted by such
a large majority the employees. it is stat
ed, are still in a receptive mood and are
willing to submit their grievances to ar
bitration. A conference between the man
ayers committee and a committee rep
resenting the men is scheduled to be held
here tomorrow when negotiations will be
resumed.
President W. S. Carter of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men, who arrived in Chicago today to
take part in tomorrow's proceedings, ex
pressed the hope that the problem would
be solved without the necessity of a
strike.
