DEMANDS OF UNION
ARE TURNED DOWN
Kruttschnitt Rejects Conces-
sions Asked by Employees.
LABOR OFFICIALS ARE SILENT
Whether or Not Strike on Hartman
System Shall Be Called Rests
With National Officers of
Shopmen's Federation.

San Francisco.-The conference be-
tween officials of the shopmen's fed
Grafton and the officials of the South
ern Pacific road ended in hopeless
disagreement Vice-President Krutt-
schnitt of the Southern Pacific per-
sisted in his refusal to recognize the
newly organized federation.
Whether or not a strike shall be
called of all shopmen on the Harri-
man system rests with the national
officers now in this city.
F. w. Alhern of the Southern Pa
cific bureau of economy, spokesman
for Kruttschnitt, made this statement
just after the labor officials had left
the meeting room in the Flood build
ing:
The railway officials refused to rec
ognize the railway federation while
agreeing to discuss their demands
with the Representatives of their in
dividual crafts.
"As a basis for this refusal they
contended that the company cannot
conscientiously perform its proper du-
ties to the public, as a quasi-public
corporation, and place in the hands Of
any federation the power that would
necessarily be placed IN any such or
ganization as was proposed"
The company's refusal to recognize
the federation is all that occurred at
the conference, and no further meet
ing between the railroad officials and
the union men has been arranged.
After they left Kruttschnitt's office
the labor officials refused to discuss
the conference, declaring they had
nothing to say. Their manner ind1-
Gated that their patience had been
tried by the four hours debate with
the railroad officials. They were
brusque and curt and their expression
indicated that the situation was seri-
Gus.
There can be no appeal from Krutt-
schnitt's decision. j. w. Kline, repre-
senting the shopmen, has received a
telegram from President Lovett Of
the Hartman system saying that any
action resolved upon by the officials
now here would be ratified by the
railroad company.
The Southern Pacific company con-
tinues to lay off men, between seven
ty-five and one hundred men from its
auditing staff having been dropped.
Most of these men have been en-
ployed as train auditors, whose work
will be done hereafter by conductors.

EPIC OF HUGH GLASS
OLD FRoNTIERsMAN's WONDER
Full BATTLE FOR LIFE.
Horribly Manged by Grizzly Bear
He Was Left in the Wilderness
to Perish.

An epic story in its essence Is the
story of heroic men battling. aided or
or frustrated by the superhuman.
John c. Neihart, in THE River ana
l." says that Americans do not write
epics, they live them; and he recails
the story of old Hugh Glass, winch
he declares to be wonderful enough
to be the foundation Of tremendous
Aeschylean drama He describes MIN
as a giant to endure, and an anger 10
forgive.
He was in the Leavenworth cam
paign against the Arkaras, and AFTER
ward went as hunter with the Henry
expedition. He had a friend, mere
bay, and the two were very close.
One day Glass, who was In advance
of the party, beating up the country
for game, fell in with grizzly, anu
when the main party came up, ne lay
horribly mangled, with the pear
standing over him. They killed the
bear, but the old man seemed done
for His face had all its features
scraped off, and one of his legs went
wabbly when they lifted him.
1t was merely matter of one more
man being dead, so the expedition
pushed on, leaving the young frlend
with several others to see the old man
underground.
But the old man was a fighter ana
refused to die, though he was uncon-
scious. He fought stubbornly for sew
eral days, but it seemed plain enough
that he would have to let go soon
So~the young friend and the others
left the old man in the wilderness 10
finish up the job by himself. They
took his weapons and fastened after
the main party, for the country was
hostile.
But one day old Glass woke up ana
got one of his eyes open. When ne
saw how things stood, he vowed that
he would live, merely for the sake or
killing his false friend. He craWled
to spring near by, where he found a
bush of ripe bullberries. He waited
day after day for strength, and finally
started out to crawl a small matter
of 100 miles to the nearest fort.
He did it. Also he found his friend
after much wanderings-and forgaVe
him.-Youth Companion.
