and facing quiz from Chairman
Frank P. Walsh of the industrial
commission. General Solicitor Dan
iels of the Pullman Co. has made in
quiries of members of the commits
sion with view of finding out wheth-
er the appearance of r. T. Lincoln
can't be called off.
R w. Bell, secretary of the Fed
Grafton of Pullman Conductors and
Porters, 437 S. Dearborn St., said to-
day that their organization has been
going nearly two years now. Some
of the members will testify. Not in
person, however. They won't show
their faces and their names won't be
known. They will be known, like con-
victs, by numbers and their testi-
mony will be entered in the form of
sworn statements with the names of
the signers kept in the secret records
of the industrial commission.
The Illinois Central and Hartman
lines strike of shopmen will get atten-
ton. C.. H. Markham, president of
the l. c.; julius Kruttschnitt, chair
man board of directors Southern Pa
cific, and other officials have been
subpoenaed.
Shopmen tried to get from the Har-
riman lines a recognition of their
Federation of Federations, a big
union taking in all of the crafts in
the shops of the lines. Markham and
Kruttschnitt were active in refusal to
recognize the union. They have nev-
er had to answer in any public and
responsible way the question:
whats wrong about workingmen
who want to organize? Why should
they not have the right to get togeth-
er. Why does your railroad dis
charge and blacklist these union
workmen?"

LONDON, December 29.-OHicial
circles here have been stirred as never
before by the reports reaching here
from many sources to the effect that
Germany is preparing a tremendous
drive against Egypt, the keystone of the
British Empire.
1t Is reported that Field Marshal Won
Mackensen has been selected by the
Kaiser himself, to lead the invasion Of
Egypt, and that gigantic preparations
to make the expedition one of the most
formidable in the history of the world
are being rushed.
Turkey, it is said, will be left to hold
the. Allied forces in the DardaneIles,
should the Allies continue attacking
there, and also despatch forces to hold
back the British in Mesopotamia. This
will leave free the huge Austrian and
-German, expeditionary, force, which will
strike at the Suez Canal
Color is lent to these reports by the
fact that Great Britain is bending
every effort to fortify the canal against
attack. 1t is said that the Indian troops
which have been ordered out Of France
will be used to guard the canal.

which left, similarly stamped, last Sat
urday on the Kristianiafjord.
The movement is quiet one, and it
was not intended by the organizers that
any information regarding it should
leak out before the shipment was on
the seas, since it was hoped to fore
stall any precipitate action on the part
of the postal authorities. An announce

still be made If the shipping of the
packages is not prevented, after the
