GOVERNMENT TO AID
IN PREVENTING STRIKE
Engineers Had Sent in Ultimatum
Calling OFF Engineers
Thirty-Six Hours

NEW YORK, April 22.-The tender
of friendly offices" of the repre-
sentatives of the federal government
called a temporary halt tonight to the
strike of railroad engineers in the
territory east of Chicago and north of
the Potomac, in which it is estimated
81 per cent of the railroad traffic of
the entire country is handled.
The mediation offer of the federal
officials came Immediately after the
refusal of the managers of so rail-
roads to concede the engineers de-
mand for an IS per cent increase in
wages, accompanied by the announce
ment of Chief Warren Stone of the
Brotherhood of LOGON olive Engineers
that in view of the refusal of the en-
gineers the strike would go into effect
in SO hours.
The letter. which was sent bv Mar
tin a. Knapp. presiding justice of the
commerce court. and Charles p. Neil
commissioner of labor, was Identical
with one sent to Chairman Stuart Of
the railroad managers. Knapp and
NELL did not say what position the
railroads would take.
While the crisis is still generally
considered critical, there are some
who believe there is promise of some
sort of agreement.

LIGHT ATTENDANCE
ON ACCOUNT OF RAIN
Hopes of Local Fans Were Raised
to High Pitch in Ninth Inning,
Only to Be Shattered When
Batter Failed

A band of nearly 400 enthusiastic
fans gathered at Sumach park Sunday
afternoon to watch the game of base
ball between the team in the Three
State class d team from Walla Walla,
managed by August Babe, and the
local Tigers of Colonel j. V. Payne
The visitors turned the tables over the
game played on the preceding Friday
and won by the score of 3 to 0.
There We're number of remarkable
things to be seen in connection with
the event. The attendance must be
considered large under the circum-
stancs, for it drizzled and rained gent
~ the greater part of the day until
along in the latter part of the game.
Many people uptown were of the opin-
ion that the game would not be played.
Those who had faith to go to the park,
in spite of some adverse conditions,
saw a pretty game. 1t was too uncom-
Portable for much enthusiasm to be
shown. but it could not be suppressed
on several occasions. Had the weather
been warm and pleasant it is believed
that the attendance would have
reached the 1900 mark, and it is
sure thing that some of the plays
made would have called forth vocifer-
Gus applause.
