 results is the way Julius Kruttschnitt, vice president and director of mainte- nance of the Hartman lines, described the outcome of his conference with rep resentatives of the Federation of Shop Employees in San Francisco last week. MT. Kruttschnitt was on his way east from San Francisco and left at o'clock
 'I have heard nothing from San Fran cisco since left" he said. "I know noth- ing about the strike situation, nor do know anything about the future plans of either the railroads or the labor rep resentatives. I consider our conference in San Francisco barren of results-that Is, it did not change the stuation.''
 MT. Kruttschnitt declined to discuss in detail the demands of the labor unions, except to say that he considered the ,le- mands the strongest ever made on the railroads. He declared business oondi- tons did not warrant their acceptance.
 Railroad business all over the coun- try is poor" he said. q don't think drouth conditions have anything to do with it. But when people don't buy gools and don't build it means the railroads suffer-

VETS AND DRYS
 DIVIDE H0NORS

Columbus, O., September 5.-Weather conditions in Ohio today were miserable for the municipal primaries. The vote was perhaps the lightest ever cast.
 The liquor question was the prin- cipal issue in the larger cities. The ''drys' won out in some of the cities which had been under control of a "wet' mayor and the vets were vic torious in several of the dry cities. In Columbus Mayor George Marshall, a conservative, won over two other repub- lican candidates who were liberals. The democrats nominated George J. karb, a liberal. In Cleveland Newton Baker, protege of the late Tom l.. Johnson, was nominated by the democrats and Frank G. Hogen was named to head the republican ticket. In Cincinnati Henry T. Hunt, democrat. and Louis Schwab, the present mayor, republi- can, were named. The liquor question was not involved in those two cities.
 In Toledo early returns indicated that Alvin c. Jones, the dry candidate, had won. Complete returns reversed that forecast. and State Senator Carl H. Keller, the wet" candidate, won the republican nomination for mayor.
 The liquor fight was more severe in some of the lesser cities. Springfield a dry town, will a democratic wet candidate opposing dry re- publican. In Newark, the scene of the lynching of a white man a year ago, Herbert Atherton, mayor at the time of the crime and who was impeached by the governor, attempted to get vindica- tion at the polls and was defeated by a big majority by F. M. Schwartz, in the democratic primary.

There have been few ru- mors ,o the effect that in all probability 'certain members of the board may resign, though this report has not yet been con firmCd.
