mother and brother. One afternoon
while walking on the promenade on
the Mediterranean shore the party met

$4,000 RAILROAD men
THREATEN STRIKE
UItimatum to Managers De-
mands Pay Increase.

Chicago. July ia crisis has been
reached in the wage dispute between
the $4,000 engineers and firemen en-
ployed on ninety-eight railroads oper-
ating west of Chicago and the rail-
roads general managers committee.
At a conference here the officials OF
the engineers brotherhood presented
their strike ultimatum.
About 80 per cent of the member
ship of the union has voted to strike
unless the roads accede to the de-
mands for wage increase. Officials
of the brotherhood insist the men are
determined to strike unless an agree
ment is reached.
The next move is up to the rail-
roads. This will probably take the
form of an appeal to the United States
commissioner of labor to take hand
in the situation.
Whether the engineers will agree
to accept federal mediation, if request
ed by the railroads, has not been de-
termined. The commissioner of labor,
should that official be called into the
controversy, will act under the author
ity of the Newiands act, providing for
mediation and arbitration of railroad
labor disputes.
If the railroads fatty reject the Ill
timatum without appealing for federal
mediation one of the -srea teSt reE

ficials.
Such a strike would tie up approx
mately 10000 miles of railroad, in
volving practically all lines west of
Chicago, the Illinois Central and all
lines in Canada west of Fort William,
except the Grand Trunk Pacific.

One precaution, however, was not

District Attorney Begins Argument to

Freeport, L. l., July 15.-Lewis j

endeavor to have that body indict
Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman for the
murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey, who
was shot and killed as she stood IN
DR.. Edwin Carman's office on the night

Celia Coleman, the colored maid
employed by the Carmans, missing

murder.
According to a statement made
public by detective agency employed
by the district attorney, Mrs. Carman
Immediately after the shooting, ran

told the truth, despite the fact that
she was not entirely truthful at the
coroner's inquest. She has, through
her testimony. greatly strengthened
the case against Mrs. Carman.
DR.. Carman was the first witness
called. He was on the stand nearly
two hours AS he left the grand jury
room he refused to say anything
about the nature of his testimony, but
stated that he had not been asked to
waive immunity, as had been expect

District Attorney Smith said he was
satisfied with Dr. Carman's story and
had changed his mind about asking
him to sign a waiver of immunity.
Neither DR.. Cafman nor the district
attorney would say whether DR.. Car
man had in any important details al
tered the story which he told at the
cOrOnerS inquest. Inc cn1ef point IN
this account was that his wife was up
stairs when the shot which killed Mrs.
