CONFERENCE HELD
ON SITUATION
Pacific Officials and Union Of.
ficials Confer on Possible
Strike Problem

Chicago, Aug. 25.-A conference be-
tween Vice President Julius Krutt-
schnitt Of the Union and Southern Pa
cific railroads and j. w. Kline, inter-
national president Of the blacksmiths'
union, was held here today without
any steps being taken toward q settle,
ment Of differences involving $4,000
shopmen employed by the Hartman
lines.
The representatives of the railroad
interests and the labor organizations
were In conference several hours.
F. Both vice flrsstdent Kruttschnitt
and President kline declined to dis
cuss what was done at the conference
but 1t is said that the entire subject
OF the railroads refusal to recognize
the federated labor organizations in
stead Of individual unions was consid-
cred at length.
1t is said that Vice President Krutt-
schnitt Is following instructions Of
the directors of the lines in refusing
to yield to the demands Of the shop
men for recognition of the federated
organization.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt said: "I met Mr..
Kline today and we had very pleas
ant talk. l am always glad to meet
representatives of our workmen. I
must decline to talk about what was
done at the conference"
Shortly after the meeting Mr.. Krutt-
schnitt left for the west, where he
will spend two weeks investigating
the labor situation. He will visit
Omaha, Ogden, San Francisco and
other cities and may confer with labor
representatives at San Francisco next
Wednesday.
The roads involved in the present
dispute are:
The Union Pacific, Southern Pacific,
Central Pacific. Oregon Short Line,
Houston & Texas Central, Oregon
Railway & Navigation company, San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake rail-
road.
Shop workers of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad have a similar grievance.
President ]. w. Kline in outlining
the position Of the shopmen said:
"June last committee Of work
ers on the Hartman lines met in Salt
Lake City to form a federation Of the
members of various mechanical crafts
under railroad management A num-
Der Of other roads had already recog-
nized similar declarations, among them
the Wabash road, the Gould lines and
the Hawley lines.
"The organization was formed for
protection and in the interest Of
economy and convenience. should
be easier to deal with one joint COM
mittee than with q dozen.
"That Is all the men are asking.
The question Of wages is not involved.
Since the federated body was formed
the men active in the movement have
been Disseminated against and many
laid of without just cause, am in
formed. The present situation is
grave. I have received number of
kilograms from officers Of different
unions asking for permission to
strike.

mems differences peaceably. I sin
cerely hope that oil may be poured on
the troubled waters. We have had
several conferences with railroad Of

anything is done. cannot say what
the outcome will be-"

and the mother Of nls4 - Henry
Clay Beattie. Jr., made sapeculiar
statement In the Henrico county Jail
at Richmond this afternoon.
Even II Henry Beattie was acquit-
ted, I would never 60 back to him.
He would never sway or influence me
as he once did when was only q
little girl, when was not IA years
old. Then he came along one day
all dressed up fine and was standing
in doorway out Of the rain. He
had on raincoat and had fine
silver handled umbrella. He looked
at me and smiled and asked me to
get under his umbrella. And that
was the way we began to know each
other. For two years loved Henry
Beattie blindly. not that / say he cor
rupted me. II It had not been Henry

else, but have not loved him for
some time. / never exactly got 80

but 1t would be just like might see
any young man that called on me
that I liked. And IL he was acquitted,
/ would not marry him. I'd be afraid
Of him. I'd be afraid to be alone
with him in the dark after all I've
heard and read"
The Binford girl at this, however.
threw up her hands in mock horror.
And the prosecution does not yet
know what to make Of the girl. She
is illiterate, frivolous, immoral, but
she is also most cunning. This in
difference to Beattie is possibly the
merest pose they think to cloak her
real design Of seeing him safely
through his murder trial and then
throwing her arms around his neck.
She begged again today for an au-
to ride, She complained that prison
life was making ravages on the fresh
ness Of her pretty complexion. Re
