ENGINEERS STAND
FIRM ON THREATS
Will Go Out on Strike Unless
Satisfactory Compro-
mise Is Made.
National News Association


NEW YORK, April 23.-Whether or
not $4,000 steam and electrical loco
motive engineers would strike, tying
up fifty railroads east of the MISSISSIPPI
pi river. and north of the Ohio, was
put fatty and finally up to the rail
road presidents today following the
governments initiative in offering to
endeavor to effect mediation, by War
rem s. Stone, chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. The con-
ference committee of railroad officials
met today, called by it's chairman, j.
s. Stuart, to consider the proposition
for mediation as proposed by Martin
A. Knapp. presiding Judge Of the fed
eral court of commerce and by Labor
Commissioner Charles P. Neil The
engineers had already accepted the
governments proffer, which was said
to have been inspired by President
Taft himself
I'VE have gone as far as we can in
the matter" said Grand Chief Stone,
and think our conduct in immedi-
ately accepting the governments offer
to endeavor to bring about mediation
will satisfy the public that we are
absolutely honest in our frequently ex-
pressed desire to avoid a strike if
possible. However, If the railroad
officials refuse to meet us in this last
opportunity to get together, we shall
have no recourse but to call the men
out"
Committee Members.
The railroad heads, up to whom the
situation was thus placed, are the
following:
J. c.. Stewart, chairman, vice presi-
dent of the Erie; A. w. Thompson,
general manager of the B. & O.; c.
s. Sims, vice president and general
manager of the Delaware e Hudson; ;
A. H. Smith, vice president and gener-
al manager of the New York Central;
]. J. Bernett, assistant to the vice
president of the New York Central
lines west Of Buffalo; H. J. Horn,
vice president of the N. Y, N. H. &
Hartford; 8. C. Long, vice president
OF the Pennsylvania lines east of
Pittsburgh; G. l.. Peck, general man
ager of the Pennsylvania lines west
of Pittsburgh; A. T. Dice, general
manager of the Philadelphia & Read
ing; j. A. Shepherd, general manager
of the Western Maryland; B. A. Wor-
Ellington, receiver for the Wheeling
& Lake Erie, and J. A. McCrea, gen.
eral manager of the Long Island Rail
Road.
The strike would have been in ef-
feet today but for the move made by
the federal authorities. Government
Intervention came in the form of two
Identical letters; one sent to Mr..
Stone and the other to Mr.. Stewart
The strike already had been determin,
ed upon, the railroads having rejected
the mems demands for an eighteen
per cent wage increase and. minor
technical concessions when the strike
order was rescinded.

PENDANTS in the case in which they
were charged with violating the law

by Judge Charles A. Pollock in dis

The second ultimatum consisted OF
a large number Of warnings to tho
millers and dealers, mailed last night.
The warning reads: Flour that has
been colored. coated. stained or label
ed so as to deceive or mislead the
purchaser is held in violation of the
food laws Of North Dakota. Any
method of treating -four to produce
such a condition is to be avoided and
the installation Of any device to bring
about such a condition, other than
natural to milling of -four. will pro-
duce a -four in violation of the North
Dakota food laws.
"Millers are therefore, cautioned to
go slow in the installing of chemical
methods whereby such a condition
will be made possible.
The shipping of -four into this
state SO treated will be construed as
an offense under the food law; and
dealers are warned against the hand
ling OF products in violation of the
