UNITED PRESS leased WIRE. l

Chicago, Aug. 23.-What is re-
garded as a preliminary step in the
threatened strike of the union en-
ployes of the Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific railroads, under the
new system federation plan, probably
will be taken here when the commit
tees representing the federation seek
a conference with General Manager
julius Kruttschnitt.
1t is reported that Kruttschnitt
will lagree to receive representatives
of some of the individual unions, but
will refuse to confer wit hcommit-
tee from the collective labor organ
ization. If Kruttschnitt takes the
expected course, an appeal to Robert
S. Lovett, chairman of the board of
directors, will be made at once.
Failure to receive recognition of
their demands from Lovett will en-
tail voting on the question of calling
a strike, with A B. Lowe, secretary
of the railroad branch of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor having the
deciding voice. Lowe is said to be
the best informed general strike
leader in the country, and HIS judg-
ment undoubtedly will have great
influence on the action taken by the
railroad employees.
Meanwhile the system federation
idea continues to grow. It was
learned today that 5000 union en-
ployes of the Illinois Central rail
road are voting whether to affiliate
with the new organization. and it is
reported that junction will be fa-
vored by an 80 per cent vote.
Clerks, stenographers and office
employees in the Galewood yards of
the Chicago, Milwaukee e. st. Paul
railroad have organized a union, and
today presented demands for shorter
hours and increased pay.
Saving Expenses.
San Francisco, Aug. 23.-F. G.
Atherton, head of the department of
economics of the Southern Pacific
company, today said that by tonight
about 500 of the 3400 office epmolyes
here will have been laid off, in line
with the general order to reduce ex-
penses.
All over the Pacific division the
Office force will be reduced from 10
to 12 per cent.
Atherton declared that shop en-
ployes here will not be laid off, but
the same percentage will be saved
by the decrease in hours already in
effect No trains are to be disturbed
as far as known at the present
time, and there will be no. reduction
says Atherton, in employment of
trainmen and swltchmen along the
lines.
Atherton protests vigorously that
the reduction has nothing to do with
threatened labor troubles.

Yesterday afternoon the Renton
line asked for and got another order
from Handford commanding the Rem
ton system to issue receipts for the
extra fare and also to issue trans
fers on the receipt of three cents
above the five-cent fare.
The state spreme court ordered the
issuance of these transfers. Pending
an appeal to the United States court,
the Renton line has been refusing to
give transfers. Today the passen-
gers again refused to recognize the
court orders. The cars carried most
of them in and out of the city free,
the company not resisting as it did
yesterday.
Petitions are being circulated ask
ing President Taft to remove Judge
Hanford, and it is being largely
signed.

LIGHTS FROM TRADE TO CHE

FOR.

The board of trade committee hav-
ing in charge the work OF soliciting
signers for cluster street lighting is
on the streets today devoting most
of its time to Commercial street
which it is proposed to finish before
beginning work upon the adjoining
avenues which are in the general
scheme of illumination CONNER
cial street is to be Illuminated from
Trade to Chemeketa. 1t will take SO
to cover this area and have the prop
er distribution as provided in the
proposed city ordinance. Posts are
to be established every 112 feet, with
the corners provided with two lights
five feet from the property lines.
The committee feels very much
encouraged from the reception that
they were accorded yesterday and to-
day. The Breyman estate and the
Bush interests have expressed them
selves as in favor of the movement
for better lighted city and believe
that if the merchants are desirous of
having it, to encourage and develop
their business, that it is a move in
the right direction Mayor Lach-
mund is one of the enthusiastic
boosters for the proposition and is
lending all the help necessary to
bring about the successful accom-
plishment of the scheme so that Sa-
lem may have the posts in time for
the opening of the state fair.
N
have signed up for their corner and
two posts will be placed by them.
Adolph & Wolfe have signed for their
corner and the Bush properties are
to be lighted thus, making the four
corners on State and Commercial
provided for, the remaining corner
being leased by the P. R. L. & p.
company, the property owner having
agreed to put in the posts. The
Breyman estate has indicated it's in
tention of putting in the posts in
front of their property, providing
the tenants will maintain the cost of
lighting from month to month until
the city authorities take the matter
over, as they have declared their in
tention to do when the new budget
Is made up. The Marion hotel and
the, Salem brewery will come in for

This leaves but small portion of

that it is only question of a few
days before it will be able to an

order the electric lighting company
to begin the work of installation.
Merchants; such. as the Chicago
store. Commercial Book store, J. L.

well known outside of basket ball
circles, but in basket ball, it is con-

erS Tor basket ball h0norS. lnf0rma-
tion from Portland is to the effect
that there is no better team in Port

they feel confident Of being able to
decisively settle any question as to
who are the real basket ball cham
pions of the Northwest, if not of

an interesting contest is looked for,
and large crowd is expected. This
will be the last big game in this city
until after the Angora Goat show
