MEET DEMANDS MADE
Railroad Situation on West

90 Regarded Serious.
(National News Association)

(NatiOnal news ASSoclatlonl
CHICAGO, Aug 29.-That the threat
ened strike of railroad employees would
tie up practically every railroad from
Chicago westward and would involve
all other railroads in the United States
was the startling fact revealed today
when 1t became known that employees
OF the Chicago Northwestern road
have joined the ranks of the malcon-
tents.
Employees of the Hartman system
and Of the Illinois Central already
have made their demands and con-
ferences between union officials and
heads of the roads are in progress.
On those conferences depends the
peace Of the railroad world.
That more than $4,000 men have
been laid off by railroads in the last
year is one of the charges of the un-
ionists.
Notice from the Northwestern EN-.
ployes that new wage contract would
have to be made at once, was received
by officials today. The present scale
agreement expires next month.
While that was going on, the unions
voted to leave the settlement Of the
matter In the hands of the union of.
ficers.
Julius Kruttschnitt, vice president
of the Hartman lines, today declared
that II would be impossible for the
railroads to comply with the demands
Of the men.
"Asyuiescence would mean chaos
and inability on the part Of the roads
to meet the public's demands" he
said.

what Paul Beattie might add to his

him with his story intact. The defense

on the prisoners own story.
Paul Beattie's evident truthfulness
apparently greatly impressed the jury.

ground of reluctance to give damaging
testimony against his own flesh and
blood, the counsel for the defense in

not that he feared for his own solicit
