General Railroad Strike
Ordered for August Ninth

gineers, firemen and hostlers drawing
$67,75O,00O annual wages were af-
fected.
The last general movement by the
enginemen for an increase in wages
was in 1910, at which time they OBJ
tanned an increase of about 10 per
cent.
When conferences between Stone
and Carter and the managers appar-
entity had come to the point of
strike the managers were urgent that
the federal board of mediation and
conciliation should be appealed to.
The mems committee suddenly ac-
ceded to this. The conference began
July 81.
/ The mems statement of their case,
/ as presented to the board, is in part
as follows:
added responsibilities and the in
creased cost of living induced the
enginemen in the western territory
to make certain requests of the man
ayers of their railroads. These re-
quests carried moderate increases in
pay and some Improvements in work
ing rules, having for their object the
Standardization of wages and working
conditions, which were to be revi-
sions and additions to the present
schedule"
In their printed statement of their
position the enginemen laid emphasis
on the increased traffic of the rail-
roads, declaring that more powerful
locomotives, larger freight cars and
longer trains had vastly increased
the earning power of the roads and
had added correspondingly to the re
sponsibilities of the enginemen with
no corresponding increase in theiI
pay.
The managers committee replied
that railroad conditions at the pres
ent time do not justify any increases
in wages. The demands of the men
according to the managers, center
upon the substitution of an eight.houl
day for a ten-hour day in the com
iputation of overtime.
I "The employees know" the mana
gers statement asserts, that
,. would be impractical to reduce tn
| actual working day in train servlc
e to eight hours. To do so II would b
/. necessary to shorten practically al
railway divisions, to relocate yard
/. and shops, in fact to reconstruct tn
railways at a prohlbitive cost. Tn
employees know the only effect Q
changing the basis OF a days wag
4 from ten to eight hours would b
enormously to increase the overtim
. paid.
y 'In view Of the present condition
y there could be no justification 4
. the railroads In taking any step thi
. would add greatly to their expense
. The managers OF railways have q
. moral right to accede to requests
= employees that would unduly increa'

The trial of John Pansner the !.
w. w agitator is slowly dragging
TO a close. The case will most likely
go to the jury late this afternoon
or tonight II night session is de-
cided on.
District Attorney Sanders called
Pansner to the stand at 10:3O this
morning. When the attorney was
oss-examining the prisoner about
the gun used on White defendant
grew very passionate and worked
himself into great rage.
Sanders then stopped the examina-
ton to say: Il am not going to take
any chance with this man If he flies
in rage like that ! believe he
would shoot me II he had gun.
win the bailiff please search this
man and see II he has any concealed
weapons on his person. I'm not here
for target and do not propose to be
such, either" The bailiff, after
searching the defendant thoroughly.
found Pansner did not carry reyol-
yer with him at that time
After this dramatic scene Sanders
asked Pansner TO tell the court of
his actions on the day of the 11th
of July from three in the afternoon
until the time Of his arrest in the
Miners Exchange saloon that even
ing. Pansner said THE bunch from
the Celtic came down to the hall
about four O'Clock and after little
disturbance and talking began to
scrap, but It didn't last long. They
quieted down and said they would be
back in the evening If the banner
wasn't down they would tear 1t down
and run us out Of town. | then went
into the saloon and after staying
there little while | decided to sc
to my room and think ii over al
ways have revolver under my pill
low After thinking the matter oyei
decided would take the pistol ant
go over to the hall to protect the or

MACHINE SMASHING
COMPLETEOBY THE
PEOPLE OF JAPAN
lBy Associated Prens.l

(By Associated Press.)
TOXIC, July 31.-The political ma
chine which for ten years has domin-
ated municipal government in Toxic,
was demolished by the reformers at
the recent municipal elections. So
serious was the reverse that the or
ganization, which was known as the
Tokiwakai, and which mas been called
"Tokio's Tammany," has been dis
solved altogether.
The good government party regards
the overthrow of the organization as
a signal victory, and indicative of the
general reform movement which is
sweeping over Japan in all branches
of political life. For the last ten
years they had fought to eliminate
the Tokiwakai majority in the munich
pal assembly, but each successive at
tempt met with failure, until this
year they have not only removed the
Objectionable majority, but also de-
feated its leader, S. Morikubo, in
whom they saw all of the partys cor
ruption personified. The charges we're
similar to those which have charac-
terized so many municipal upheavals
in America-harmfu patronage, cor
ruption in the distribution Of con-
tracts for public. works and general
graft.
The success this year was due
largely to the younger element, which
was organized into an anti-machine
body. Public meetings were held and
almost every means of political pub
licity utilized to arouse the voters Of
the urgency of good government. The
election continued fer three days, ct
the end of which the reformists had
captured all but 81 Of the rs ceats
in the assembly. Morikubo, the oust.
ed leader, thereupon invited his fell
low victims to a meeting at which it
was voted to dissolve the association.
The new organization now in power
is known as the Municipal Govern
ment club. They are not content
with reforming municipal politics
alone, however, and have already be.
gun vigorous campaign to establish
Representatives where the Seiyukai
or Conservative party will be the OBJ
ject of its attack. The Seiyukai has
a large majority in the diet. and
since it was linked with the now de
feated Tokiwakal, II appears to be in
danger OF losing its power.
