With much curiosity and not {, lit
tie amity in some cases, the cngin-
GERS of the B. & o. and other local
railroads are waiting for Iee an
nouncement of the report of the arbi
tration committee to whom Was re-
ferred the wage dispute between the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and the fifty railroad companies 0i
the eastern portion of the United
States. A report from the arbitration
committee was expected the latter
part of August but was not ready at
that time. Then it was expected the
arbitrator would make report not
later than September IS, In the
meantime ex-Labor Commissioner
Strauss, a member of the arbitration
committee, resigned from the commit
tee when he was nominated for gov
ernor of New York by the Roosevelt
Bull Moose party. The vacating of
place on the committee by Mr.. Straus
the engineers believe may have been
the cause of further delay now. They
look for a report however, not later
than September 80. If the arbitra-
tors decide that the engineers are en-
titled to an increase in wages the
increase will date from the last OF

of protest from the parents when 1t
became known through newspaper ar
ticles that the turkey trot' and the
bunny hug" were danced by almost

 Judge Hutton ruled that the defense might have a copy of any testimony given by Tveitmoe prior to January 29, the date of Darrow's indictment. Tveitmoe did not testify before the grand jury until February 2S.

They were F. l.. Stineman, a hotel proprietor of Venice, a beach resort, and G. G. Watt formerly city clerk of Venice.
 Both witnesses testified that Franklin had volunteered that William ]. Burns, the detective, was trying to break up organized labor by Handing" Gompers and that the prosecution of Darrow was actuated by a desire to injure a man who had been a great friend of the unions.
 Franklin had emphatically stated, ac- cording to Stineman and Watt, that Darrow had not given him the money to bribe Juror Lockwood, but that It was given him by man from San Francisco whose name he did not know
 Watt was on the stand when the trial ended for the day.

Los Angeles. July 16.-Anticipatlng the early appearance of Olaf A. TVeitmoe. the San Francisco labor leader, as a wit ness in the Darrow bribery trial, the de- fense made a determined but futile at- tempt today to obtain a copy of Tveit- moe's testimony before the grand jury last February. It was the only break irl a day otherwise given over to hearing witnesses attack the veracity of Bert H. Franklin, the confessed corrupter of jurors in the McNamara case.
 The action of the defense brought out the first public knowledge that Tveitmoe had appeared before the county grand Jury subsequent to MT. Darrow. to ex- plain the cashing of the s10,000 check, al- legged by the prosecution to have consti- tuted the McNamara defense corruption fund.
 The prosecution resisted the motion by raising the point that Tvetmoes appear ance before the grand jury had no con nection with the indictment of Darrow. District attorneys contend that the pros ecution would be injured should the de- fense be fortified with the transcript of Tveitmoe's testimony and that the labor leader had told the truth then, and he
