SAYS HE'LL FIGHT
STRIKE BY $1,000
President Nudge, Here to At
tend Meeting, Calls En-
ployeeS' Demands Unjust.

II. U. Nudge, president OF the Rock
Island Railroad. made a hurried trip
from Chicago, to-day. to attend a con-
ference OF the executive committee of
the road. at which Roberts Walker, the
chairman and general counsel, was pre-
sent The meeting was held In the
offices Of the legal department OF the
road. at No. lis Broadway.
Mr.. Nudge stated at the termination
of tire conference that the threatened
strike of the 5000 employees Of the road
was not discussed. Mr.. Nudge said the
strikers requests are most unfair, par
ticularly as they came at a time when
the expenses OF the road were heavy
and the earnings very low.
The men who are preparing to stop
work unless their demands are met are
the machinists. boilermakers. black
smiths and carmen. Each type of me-
chanic has a union of its own. and
their international presidents are at
present In Chicago, Mr.. Nudge said
he expected the strikers committee
would serve some notice upon him, but
that up to the present he had not
heard anything officially.
The men are asking for a number
of things" said Mr.. Nudge. They
want to be paid double for overtime.
Now. they are getting half again as
much as their regular wage for over
time work. Then they want all their
foremen to be promoted from the shops.
n not from any of the other. depart
ments OF the road. Another request Is
that the foremen of the various shops
shall never AXE any tools in their

CENSUS RETURNS INACCURATE
In % Cities Il Was Found Necessary
to Correct the Population
Figures.

Washington, Feb. 22.-After careful
investigation of the returns and
schedules by expert clerks in the
census bureau, 1t was found neces-
sary to correct the population figures
for 20 cities Of the United States,
whose returns had been inaccurately
made, or padded" either intention
ally or through carelessness or error.
In no case, however. was any correc-
ton in the population figures made
without first conducting a careful in
vestigation in the city itself.
The director states that In several
cities there seems to have been de-
Hberate conspiracy between private
individuals and some Of the special
agents or enumerators, or both, to in
fate, fraudulently, the census re-
turns. The census bureau has al
ready laid the facts thus far ascer-
tanned with regard to several cases
of padding" before the department
of justice, and other cases will short
ly be brought to It's attention.

RECALL ALSO MET pEEkAr IN
THE SENATE
Uoth MeasureO Passed House But
Lacked the Twc-Thlrds Ma
Jority Ia Senate.

Topeka. Feb. %. The initiative and
referendum and recall are dead 40
far Is this session Of the Legislature
is concerned. The senate killed its
own resolutions on those subjects
some time ago. But the other day the
house passed both Of Its own. They
came to the senate for adoption. The
senate killed the initiative and refer
endum by vote Of "a yeas to 10
nays; and q few moments later sent
the recall to che scrap head by q vote
of 81 yeas to IS nays.
Both resolutions call for constitu.
tional amendments to be submitted to
the people. and both need constitu-
tional majorities to pass the senate,
But neither could muster the required
two-thirds.
When the senate killed its own ini-
tiatiye and referendum resolutions
two weeks ago the vote was IL yeas
and 81 nays. Quite few voters were
changed in roll call. but the bill under
consideration was also materially
changed.
