The bankers in this case will TAXA
as their security lien on the customs
receipts of Nicaragua. They already
hold this as security for a temporary
loan of $500. 900 made two years ago
and in addition, they hold an option
on the only railroad in Nicaragua ex-
tending from the Pacific coast to
Managua and Granada, With the
assistance of the state department
under Secretary Knox the customs
service OF Nicaragua was reorganized.
the bankers cooperating and large
number of Americans have taken
positions under the Nicaraguan gov
eminent. As n result of these steps
Nicaragua now has customs receipts
twice as large as under the former
Anticipated and corrupt system. and In
addition has national bank and q
new currency based on the gold
standard.
Out Of the forthcoming S2,000.00e
Nicaragua will not realize but about
81, 000.0 900 In cash. Part OF tho
money will be used to liquidate cer-
tain outstanding obligations. including
the remaining Indebtedness to the
bankers on the first temporary loan.
1t Is likely also that arrangements
will be included in the loan contract
for the settlement of certain claims
against the government growing out
of former disturbances in that coun-
try.

ON RAILROAD ROWS
Judge Chambers Going to Fix
Up Chicago TroubIe-Han-
gar to Frisco.

With conditions acute between en-
ployes of the Chicago Belt railway and
the Western Indiana railway and the
management, Judge Chambers. COM
missioner of mediation. will leave this
evening for Chicago to take Fed
eral action in the case. At the
same time Assistant Commissioner
Hangar will leave for San Francisco,
where there is imminent trouble be-
tween the conductors and trainmen and
the MANAGEMENT of the Southern Pacific
railway.
Commissioner Chambers, after COM
pleting the mediation work at Chicago,
will go to st. Louis, where he will be
mediator in the controversy between the
st. Louis and Southwestern and Cotton
Belt lines and their managements
Some weeks ago, before the Erdman act
amendment created the mediation board
the judge consented TO act. as arbitra-
tor in this last dispute. Then he cam
celed all engagements as arbitrator but
consented to act as mediator under the
new law.
Conditions on the Central Vermont
railway may also demand early atten-
ton, for the engineers and firemen have
delivered a strike ultimatum. The man.
agement of the Central Vermont, how
ever. up TO this time has declined the
offers of the mediation board, and may
stand pat on its concession of a 10 per
cent increase The employees, however,
seek more than 10 per cent increase. so
that they may be on a par with engi-
neers and fremen under the New York
awards of a year ago. This standard
would give them a higher rate than the
employees Of the Grand Trunk railway
of Canada, which owns the Central
Vermont.
Judge Chambers has wired the presi-
dent of the Grand Trunk. but has re-
ceived no reply TO his offer OF assistance
in the dispute II the road can reach an
agreement with its men. II may submit
the differences to the Canadian board
OF mediation, which has some manda-
tory powers.
