Labor Needed.

= Seward, Alaska, May 4.-Work on
the construction of the first section

nouncing that the engineering commits
sion would not employ q large num-
Der of men this summer and that those
going to Ship Creek with the idea OF

pointed.
Squatters who staked claims on the
terminal tract here have withdrawn
from the land. Several Of them. how.

lost them when newcomers bound over
the trail for Ship Creek read notices
ordering the immediate removed of the
tents and carried them away. The
squatters had been notified by the
commission that the townsite would be
located elsewhere, as the government
intends to use the reserve for terminal

BETTER PAY FOR ENGINEERS
Increase to $4,000 Railroad Workers
Comes May 10-Many Are Still
Dissatisfied.

Chicago, May IAN arbitration
award advancing to some extent the
rates of pay of sixty.four thousand To-
connective engineers, firemen and hos.
tiers employed on the 100000 miles of
line of ninety-eight Western railroads
in the great area of the United States
and Canada bounded on the east by
the Illinois Central and the Great
Lakes, was signed here today.
A dissenting opinion was filed on
behalf of the brotherhoods of engine
men, in which the arbitration was
branded as a failure and the Newlands
Law, under which it was arranged. an
inadequate device for the settlement
of industrial disputes. The award, ef-
fective May 10 and binding for one
year only, was frankly declared as
merely postponing for twelvemonth
the actual settlement of the differ
ences involved.
The railroad members of the board
issued formal statement criticizing
features of the regulations governing
the arbitration and remarking that
certain concessions, regarded as in
trinsically unjust, were made for the
sake Of preserving peace with the EN-.
ployes.
Judge Peter c. Pritchard of Rich
mond, Va, chairman of the board, ex-
planned his position and stated that
while in his opinion the men in GER
tain branches of the service were en-
titled to greater advances than were
granted, he had to make concessions
in order that an award might be made,
and he found much of hopeful ma
ture in the award.

GET NEW RURAL MAIL SERVICE
Careful Planning viii Prevent Extra
Expense for DeveIopment-More
Routes Little Later.

Washington, May 3.-Postmaster
General Burleson announced today
that mail facilities will be extended to
one million new rural patrons before
July /. 1915. without increasing the
present cost OF service. This will be
done by readjusting present rural
routes so as to eliminate Implications
and unnecessary service. After July
l. by means Of the motor vehicle serv-
ice authorized by Congress, and which
then will be inaugurated, rural mail
facilities will be extended to many ad.
ditional patrons. ,.-
In April changes we're authorized
which, without curtailment Of service,
have reduced operating expenses $177.-
664. This sum has been utilized to es'
tablish 263 new routes, serving 31,O4l
additional families, or approximately
155,205 additional persons.
Also extensions of existing service
have been put in effect during April,
involving a total of 104 additional
miles Of travel by rural carriers. These
extensions serve 1902 additional fami-
lies and approximately 6,010 additional
persons. In explanation of his plans
Mr.. Burleson said today:
1.-THE purpose is to enable the Post
office Department to meet just de-
mands for mail service which thus far
the department has been unable to
provide. This can only be done by
careful and painstaking readjustment
of existing service In some locations
it has been found that there are I'M
necessary and unjustifiable duplica-
lions and retractions of travel by ru-
raj carriers. In other cases 1t appears
that unusual privileges, involving I'M
necessary service, have been allowed.
Rural service will be extended to
every farmer reasonably entitled to 1t,
as rapidly as the new adjustments can
be made"

John r. Lawson, Labor Leader,
Fares III by Jury in the
Colorado Court.
An ECHO Of GREAT MINE war
Entire Country Watches This, Phase
Of Fight Between Capital and
Workingmen.

Trinidad, Colo, May 4.-Jehn r.
Lawson, labor leader, today was con-
demned to spend the remainder OF his
life at hard labor in the Colorado peni-
Tertiary. He was found guilty OF first
degree murder in connection with the
death of John Nimmo, deputy sherih,
killed in strike battle October Is,
1918. Under the Colorado statute
making 1t the duty Of the jury to fix
thes penalty at death or life imprisop-
ment, the jury in the district court
fixed the milder punishment.
Thirty days were given to file mo-
ton for new trial, and Lawson was
released temporarily in custody of his
counsel.
II do not believe the Lawson verdict
ever will be sustained" said Horace N.
Hawkins, chief counsel for the defense.
1T Is contrary to the evidence. l
shall fight this case to a finish,- as
long as there are courts in which to
fight"
Later Attorney Hawkins issued an
additional statement, in which he said
"Rockefeller's gold is claiming ]. h.
Lawson, labor leader, as a victim.
Rockefeller's lawyers worked up the
evidence and Rockefeller's detectives
testified in the case to secure convic-
ton. The verdict is an unspeakable
outrage. In any other community an
acquittal would have been had in five
minutes. The conviction is stirring
the Nation. kilograms are pouring in
on us from all over the country, and
the beginning is not yet"
Lawson was charged with the homi-
eide on the theory of the prosecution
that he was in charge OF the tent COLO
ny and in command of the strikers In
the battle.

Kidney Pills are good remedy for
