ayers is obtainable. tut 1t Is under
stood that the outlook was not i'm
proved, as the discussion proceeded.
The compa.ies still resist the demand
of the strikers to meet their repre-
sentatives on the ground that 1t would
be a violation of thS arrangement en-
tered into between the companies and
the employees TO refer disputes in the
first instance to the Cancellation
boards.
The laborers in the shipyards on
the northwest coast have made de-
mand for an immediate advance in
wages. If the demand is refused 5000
laborers will be affected by the strike
which will be declared.
The railroad managers have issued
a statement in which they declare that
in view OF the fact that the govern
ment has assured the companies that
1t would give ample protection to the
railroads to enable them to carry on
the service the companies are pre-
pared in the event of strike to give
a Ineffective but restricted service The
statement also states that if turbulent
violence continued the policy of the
government was to put ii down with
All force necessary.
The governments preparations to
ensure the working of the railways
include orders fer $4,000 men at A D.

The Midland railway has offered a
bonus of fifty per cent on the amount
earned by all men working during the

By WILLIAM kEET.

Unless he changes his mind at the last
minute, Walter johnson, the Nationals
great pitcher, who has won twenty-five
games out of thirty-three thus far this
season, will be Manager McAleer's choice
this afternoon. ..
The Nationals are home for the remain
der of the season, and a record-breaking
crowd is expected out this afternoon to
welcome them. In fact, the local club is
playing such grand ball that fine show
ing is expected during the seasons wind
up, and unless the Chicago White SOx
take a brace the Nationals are almost
sure to pass them in the league race.
Just what the batting order of the
Nationals will be this afternoon is prob
lematical. The chances are that young
Morgan will play third base, while FL
berfeld or Cunningham will hold down the
middle station, and as Germany Schaefer
is rounding into form after a short en-
forced lay off. the Teuton will play first.
There is considerable curiosity among
local fans about young Morgan, the for
mer Virginia League Star. This kid was
sent into the game just as soon as the
Nationals started West, more than a
month ago. and has been kept at third
base ever since. Reports from the va
rious out-of-town sport writer's indicate
that Morgan has been able to hold his
own in fast company and looks like a
correr.
Morgan was tried out here in part OF
a game and looked to be rather light for
a major league ball club. but he has been
delivering the goods in the proper fash
ion. and will surely get good hand from
the crowd this afternoon when he steps
up to the plate for the first time.
