FEDERAL BOARD
ADMITS FAILURE
HAS NOT SUCCEEDING IN ADJUST
ING WAGE DIFFERENCES
AT CHICAGO

Chicago. July 25.-Mediation has
failed to settle the wage differences
between the IS western railroads and
their $4,000 enginemen. After week
of sessions the federal board of me-
diation and conciliation today an
nounced that it was trying to effect
q working basis by which both sides
would consent to arbitrate their diff
ferences.
The federal board of mediation and
Cancellation which has struggled for
a week with the wage dispute be-
tween the management of 9S western
railroads and their $4,000 engineers
and firemen conferred today with
the employees and the managers.
The first meeting was between the
mediators and the enginemen who
have requested increased pay and a
revision of overtime from the rail
roads.
The announcement of the crisis In
the negotiations between the media
tors and the warning employees and
employers was made by G. w. w.
Hanger, member of the federal board
of mediation and conciliation, who
said:
"It has been. apparent for the last
three or four days that questions
could not be settled by mediation, and
the board is trying to effect work
able basis by which both sides will
consent to arbitration"
New proposals to both the repre-
sentatives of the enginemen and fire
men and to the committee of railroad
managers we're submitted today by
the mediators and the board is await
ing replies to its proposals.
Neither W. S. Stone grand cnief
engineer of the Brotherhood of Engi
neers. nor W. s. Garter, head of the
DiOluOI HOOu VI IOOOllOiNO II OhASA
and Enginemen, would discuss the ma
ture of the proposal submitted by the
mediators. Equal silence was observ
ed by the officials of the railway
managers committee which has con
Quoted negotiations with the employees
since last October. 90
The employees representatives me-
today and the proposal of the media
tors was considered at length. Simi
lar action was taken by the managers
committee. The result of their de
liberations is expected to be known
today to the mediators, who also re
mained in session.
The condition is admitted by botf
sides to be grave but no words termi
mating the negotiations have been
spoken yet.

FUSION IN ARIZONA

Santa Fe, July 25.-Republicans here
are watching with interest the amalga-
tion of county organizations that is
going on in the neighboring state of
Arizona, between republicans and pro-
gressives. Dspite an edict of the
state leaders that theer must be no
amalgamation, the progressives of
Yuma county have signed and sealed
a formal agreement to ge together
under the name of republicans, the re-
publicans In turn subscribing to the
progressive platform and declaring
themselves in favor of Roosevelt for
the presidency in 1916. The agree
ment is signed by Thomas D. Malloy,
progressive county chairman; Fl. Vance
Clymer, republican county chairman
and L. Lorenzo Hubbell, candidate OF
the republicans for United States sen
ator. In Maricopa and GreenIee coun
ties, a similar movement is under way
although old time republican leaders
like Robert e. Morrison oppose any
surrender that retains for the republi
cans nothing but the party name.

CALIFORNIA PRIMARIES
DEVELOPE INTEREST
SWITCHING OF REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS TO PROGRESS
SIVES

San Francisco, July 25.-Legislation
for the California primaries closes at
midnight tonight. Indications are that
the final estimates will show a grand
total even larger than that recorded
in 1912 for the last presidential cleo
ton, which almost without exception
drew out larger vote than the con-
gressional and state elections.
Interest this year is intensified by
the entry of the new progressives par
Ity, with Governor Johnson, elected as
republican, seeking reelection this
year at the head of the progressive
ticket.
Other progressive candidates, includ-
ing John M. Eshleman, who is now
president of the state railroad commits
sion and seeks to be lieutenant gov
ernor, have also placed themselves by
petition on the tickets of both the old
line parties-the republican and demo
cratic.
Still other factors in the result will be
the many important initiative and re-
ferendum measures that will find place
on the ballot, foremost among which,
perhaps, is a proposed constitutional
amendment that would put into effect
almost Immediately a drastic state
law prohibiting the manufacture, I'M
portation, sale or gift of liquor.

ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE AP-
PEALED TO BY LUNA
OFFICIAL

Santa Fe July 25.-L ]. Peach, JUS
tice of the peace of Precinct 5, Luna
county, asks the attorney general whe-
ther justice of the peace can act as
a police magistrate and whether their
jurisdictions run concurrent. There
is no statutory provision defining the
boundaries of jurisdiction, but there
is provision in the compiled laws
that justices of the peace may act as
magistrates. The coming legislature
will probably be asked to enact a stat
ute defining police courts and their
jurisdiction. The question at Colum-

Give any meaning you like to the title Of
Mabel Herbert Urner's new book, The
Woman Alone" and 1t will fit the story.
Readers of this paper. men as well
as women, know the author through her
famous characters. Helen and Warren,
whose married life, in light and shadow,
Mrs. Urner has made as vivid on paper
as on a moving picture screen. To those
who have read her journal Of a Neg
Iected WIFE," this book, The Woman
Alone will be Of double interest, for
again the authors theme is the man, the
wife and the other woman, only this time
II Is the other woman's side that the
writer gives. if, indeed, she does not
plead her cause. It is the writer's most
real, most vital work so far.
1t is a tragedy, of course, and trag-
edy that penetrates because she gives 1t
no stacy heroics, no stilted attitudes, no
studied phrases. The characters are real
people Of twentieth century New York,
who do things and say things as your
neighbors do and say them. They suf-

Of today Mrs. Urner is able to make her
readers know her characters intimately.
They are as real. after a dozen pages, as
those Of Daudet Doubtless most OF the
convincing realism Of her work is due
to this elusive gift.
The Woman Alone Is no tea and

an ending in an abyss. 1t vivisects the

her despaIr-controlled motives and con-
