Aero Club Has So Far
Refused to Sanction Ex-

The Aero Club has refused to sane

The clubs failure to sanction the

have been active in promoting, was
brought to light by the following cable
from the Royal Aero Club OF Great
Britain, received yesterday afternoon;

The Aero Club cabled in reply that

Engineers and Firemen
Issue UItimatum to West
ern Railroads
DECLINE TO HOLD
MORE CONFERENCES
Unions Will Also Refuse Arbi-
tration Under Federal Law,
Charging Bad Faith.

Chicago, July 14.-Conferences be-
tween the managers committee and the
engineers and iremen Of the ninety
eight railroads west Of Chicago will not
be reopched, except at the request OF
the roads, it was announced by repre-
sentatives of the men tonight.
Backed by a nearly unanimous vote
in favor Of a strike, the representatives
of the men hold that only by the rail-
roads yielding from their position can
a strike be averted that might become
the most extensive and disastrous il
American railroading.
The result of the referendum vote
will be presented to the general mrn-
ayers committee in writing to-m0r'
row. according to request made by
the conference to-day.
The engineers said they had ex-
hausted every effort to avert strike
and that effective means to force the
railroads to action would follow unless
reply was received soon from the
managers in which promises of an
agreement were held forth.
The railroads, through their general
managers committee, contcnded that to
grant the employees demands would
mean an increase of s33,000,0oO an
nually in wages. The engineers and
firemen asserted that their requests
were fair and equitable.
Should the negotiations fail the re-
sulting strike would directly affect
$4,000 engineers and firemen and indi'
rectly a much larger number Of work
ers.
W. S. Carter, president Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen. issued statement in
which he said the unions would refuse
arbitration under the federal law, as
the railroads had not lived up to pre-
vious arbitration awards.

OWL R00STS IN SENATE
tFrom The Tribune Burcau.l

Washington, July IA sc-eech owl
found its way into the corridors Of
the Senate wing last night. and when
discovered this morning it was perched
over the door of the old minority
caucus room, now occupied by Senator
Gallinger as an Office.
The Republicans welcomed its ap-
pearance as good omen, arguing that
as bird of wisdom it selected as a
resting place the doorway Of the minor
ity leader, who represents the party
which will receive the largess of the
future. The Democrats read in the
birds coming an augury of further Re-
publican disaster. Representative Stew
ems, who is Senator Gallinger's oppo-
nent, was convinced it meant Repub-
lican defeat in New Hampshire in
November.
Whether for good or for i'll, the owl
was unceremoniously shooed off his
perch by Senate employees.

DRESSED BEEF HIGHER
Prices Advancing, Though
Each Increase Is Small.

For the fourth time in a month ad-
vances in the wholesale prices of
dressed beef have been made by a well
known packing house in this city.
While the individual gains in price
have been small, they have aggregated
enough to make a material difference
in the cost of meats to the retail
butcher, and. of course, in a larger
measure TO the consumer, as it is gen.
orally understood that an advance in
wholesale rates loses nothing on its
way TO the hands of the cook.
The latest figures, sent out yester-
day, show increases in price ranging
from IL cents to 2 cents since the
middle of May and mark the highest
point reached in the local market for
a long time. The prices in cents per
mound are as follows:
