TWO E LET OUT:
STRIKERS TIE UP
RAILROAD SYSTEM

Albany. N. r. Jan. 2o.-A dispute
over the dismissal of two employees by
the Delaware s. Hudson railway led
to a strike today which has tied up
the entire operating end of the system.
About 5000 men, 1t is estimated, are
out. Only shop work and office en-
ployes remain on duty. Reinstate-
ment of the discharged employees with
fuH back pay is h only union demand.
Meanwhile, @. w. w. Hanger. OF the
FEDERAL board of mediation and concila-
ton started. from New York, I'M Com

labor department left Syracuse for here
to offer their services in an effort to

No violence was reported from any
point. Mails are paralyZed in many
sections, the Delaware & Hudson being
the only road to numerous northern
points.
Mediation from both nation and
state has been requested by the COM
pany. G.. w. w. Hanger of the federal
board Of mediation and Cancellation,

charge of the strike, but Carey re-
piled:

A conference this morning between
union leaders and Supt. J. A. Macgrew
resulted in no agreement. Neither side
would state what had been considered
and no plans for another conference
were given out.
The railroad company made nc
plans this morning for the further
running of trains. The last train to
arrive in Albany with a union crew
reached here at 10 o'clock.
There is some apprehension as to a
possible coal famine as a result Of the
tieup.
The discharge of two men some time
ago is the sole cause of the strike.
Their reinstatement and full payment
of wages is asked by the union. 1t is
asserted hat the men violated COM
pany rules and this was given as the
reason for their dismissal. The union
leaders admit that rules were violated
but aver that the employees did so at
the command of their superiors.

MEXICO MUST MEET ALL
CLAIMS OF EOREIGNERs

Washington, D.. c., Jan. 2O.-All Just
claims against the Mexican government
will be viewed equally, regardless of
the nationality of claimants, in demon
strating the policy of the United States
toward recognition OF any government
that may succeed the Huerta regime in
Mexico. is the opinion of those who are
closely watching developments,
1t was said that reiteration of this
attitude had been the only assurance
made inquiries because of the an
nounced purpose of Huerta to default
in the ~semi-annual interest payment on
the debt.
1t was pointed out that the attitude
of the United States made it unlikely
that any Mexican government would be
recognized which did not acknowledge
national debts contracted before Presi-
dent Wilson'S declaration against the
Huerta government.

THE volcano of Sakura-Jima, at the
beginning of the eruption resembled a
Niagara of fire from which masses of
molten stone were hurled long dis
stances.
During the night of January IA a
loud explosion was heard, followed by a
flash of flame and a cloud Of ashes,
rising many thousand feet. Beneath
the cloud of smoke and ashes broad
streams of lava could be plainly seen
flowing down the slopes to the sea. The
forests on the mountain sides quickly
caught fire and the flames spread to
the houses of the numerous little viii
lagos near by.
1.-THE entire western coast lines OF
Sakura seemed to be ablaze n a
string wind carried smoke, gas, and hot
ashes straight to the mainland.

crowds, many Of them ascending the

molten lava, while the surrounding
forests had been destroyed.

was evident as a gap. q mile wide. in
the side of the mountain could be seen.
Below this numerous smaller craters
emitting smoke and flames. Beneath
each opening there was great ~plateaus
of cooling lava. The two old creators
of the volcano had been forced into one
by the destruction of the dividing ridge.
