STRIKE OF SHOPMEN
Valley Junction Workers, Who Have
Voted to Strike. Awaiting Order
of Negotiations.

Des Moines, Nov. 15.-Today was ex-
pected to decide whether the shop en-
ployes of the Rock Island railroad will
strike. G. w. Pring, head of the
Valley Junction union, is in Chicago
and the waiting union men look for
the strike orders today. .
Refusal Of the Rock Island system
to recognize the system federation
and pay its shopmen every two weeks
instead of once month, may result
in a strike which will tie up the rail
road shops at Valley Junction.
On Saturday night the union voted
to strike. In anticipation of the strike
the Rock Island is erecting q high
board fence around it's shops at Val
ley Junction and barricades designed
to protect strikebreakers should any
be called, have been constructed on a
number OF small engines. ....
Neither railroad nor union officials
will discuss the probability of a strike.
All feel the situation is grave one.

CASE LAST NIGHT; STILL
~ a: OUT At 2:30

in the case of Mrs. Eta Larson,

noon. ... .gl.
# The case went to the jury late last
evening, after the attorneys for both
the defense and the state had sur
prised an exceptionally large court
room audience by the brevity. Of their
arguments Judge Clyde, too. confined
himself to a brief list Of instructions.
At 1890 o'clock the Jurors apparently
had been unable to reach an agree
ment, and they were permitted to re-
tire. At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon,
they were still deliberating.
Mrs. Larson, who Is 26 years old,
was indicted with her husband,
Christian Larson, on the charge OF at
tempted poisoning of her father, who
is a wealthy stockman, by the last
grand Jury of Worth county. 1t was
charged that at various times during
the last two years, Paris green and
arsenic had been placed in Rhoden-
baugh's food by Marion Rhodenbaugh,
the 16 year old sister of the defendant.
The latter turned states evidence, con-
Tossing that she had tried to kill her
father at the instigation Of Mrs. Lar
son and her husband. She said the
poisoning was planned for revenge be-
cause of punishment which had been
administered to the defendant, Mrs.
Larson, by the father.

HAVE BEARING ON TRUST
LEGISLATION

Washington, D. c., Nov. 15.-The in
vestigation Of the trust problem by
the senate committee on Interstate
commerce began today without defln-
ito plan of procedure on the part OF
the committee.
Senator Newlands of Nevada, was
the only witness. He asked the COM
mittee to recommend as tentative
measure the passage OF his federal
I incorporation law leaving the changes
| hi the Sherman antitrust law to be
made after the committees hearings
are concluded. Y
The committee held conference In
an effort to map out plans of the hear,
ings and will hold second meeting
tomorrow when the following wit
nesses are expected to appear.
Taylor Vincent, Huntington, w. Va,
Eugene G. Hay, New York, general
appraiser In the customs service;
Bernard Sutter, Atlanta; former At,
torney General Frank s. Monet of
Ohio, and representatives OF the anti
trust law enforcement league.
The committee is authorized to
enter on the broadest scope Of in
quiry, covering the entire subject OF
Interstate commerce. The authorize.
tion had its inception largely In the
supreme courts decisions on the Stan
dard Oil case which had the effect OF
reading the word Reasonable" into
the antitrust law
The idea was that the meaning OF
the law should be set forth clearly in
the statute itself and not left depend.
ent on an Interpretation Of the court.
There are many bills before the COM
mittee and others will be presented.
SO it may be expected that the entire
range of legislation will be covered.
1t had been expected that number
Of men of high standing in railroad
and financial circles would be pres
ent, but SO far apparently they have
waited for a call from the committee.
1t is understood that in addition to
hearing Mr.. Newlands, more com
plete program will be outlined today.
OF the members of the committee,
Senators Clapp, Cullom, Cummins,
