DIVER RECEIVERS
JOHNSON'S BODY
Body Of Man Who Fell From Gano
Plank Found Caught on
Snag.

The body of Christ Johnson, who
was drowned some weeks ago by fall
ing off the gang plank of the vessel
where he was employed as cook, was
recovered on Monday by Diver Frank
Crane. Mr.. Crane was working on the
water main in the Chehalis river, near
the Wilson dock, and found the body
caught on a snag. With some diff
Guilty it was removed and taken to
the Whiteside undertaking parlors.
One of the means of Identification
was the union card which Johnson
carried. While the name was illegi-
bic, it could be made out that it was
cook and walters card.
Johnson was cook on the schoon-
er A. B. Johnson. In boarding the
vessel late one night, Johnson, who
was said to have been intoxicated,
fell from the gang plank and was
swept under by the ebbing tide. His
clothing caught on a snag, and though
the river was dragged, the body could
not be found till it was discovered by
Diver Crane.
Johnson's home was in San Fran
ciso. He was 40 years of age and
unmarried. His brother is captain of
the schooner, A. B. Johnson, which
is now at sea en- route for Mexican
port.
The funeral of Johnson took place
this afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the
Whiteside undertaking parlors.

UNION NTHREAT TON.Y.CENTRAL
May ne General strike Unless Dismissal
OF Conductors IL Explained.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 9.--Upion leaders,
representing the conductors, trainmen.
telegraphers. engineers and fremen Of
the New York Central Lines, in session
at Cincinnati to-day. sent a telegram to
President W. c. Brown Of the New York
Central demanding the exact date for a
conference over the alleged refusal of
Vice-president Schaf TO take action on
requests for the reinstatement of thirteen
discharged conductors.
The labor leaders. who will be in session
here several days. announced that unless
they get satisfaction from Brown a call
for general strike will be issued
All New York Central lines west Of
Buffalo. including 1000 employees. are
involved. The mems representatives to-
day declared they were through with
waiting" and that immediate action
would be taken
The union heads claim that within the
last three weeks daily kilograms and
letters have been sent to Schaff All
their requests have been ignored. the
employees say.
The dismissals have come since Decem-
Der 1. The only explanation in each case,
the employees assert. was that the dis
charge was .for good and sufficient
reasons" or unsatisfactory work
President William G. Brown OF the New
York Central said last night that the ques,
ton at issue had to do with the interpreta-
ton OF certain clauses in the arbitration
agreement entered into last spring. Mr.
Brown said that vice-President Schaf
who is In charge Of the lines west OF Buff
falo, would confer with the men early next
week
And il that isn't all right" said MIR
Brown. Il will nee them. In case we can I
agree as TO the meaning OF the clauses
We will refer the matter to the arbitrators
themselves. 30 that they can tell as to what
they meant.
There will be no strike. From my
knowledge OF the men who are at the head
Of the conductors and trainmen they
wouldn't think OF such thing at this
time"
Mr.. Brown said he didn't know of the
discharge Of the thirteen conductors.
