COUNSEL ASKING FINDING IN KEFT
 ESTATE DISPUTE
Exclusion of Important Tes- timony the Grounds For
 Appeal.

Exclusion of important testimony by Judge Webb is the ground for the appeal to the supreme court of Fran ces Helene Heft, who claimed she was deceived by the late Col. N. H. Heft regarding the value of his estate. In papers filed today in the superior court counsel for the first Mrs. Heft asks the court to make a finding. It is stated that the appeal will betaken on the question of the admisability of evidence regarding a deed from Col Heft to. Marry Josephine Heft. An other ground is the exclusion of the report of the New York & Stamford R. R. Go. to the New York State rail- road commissioners in 1903. Counsel for Frances Heft asks the supreme court to decide whether Judge Webb erred in excluding this testimony.
 Frances Heft brought suit against Mary Josephine and Stanley Heft, ad- ministrators of the Col. Heft estate, on the ground that she was entitled to additional alimony. She said Col Heft told her his estate was worth only $1OO,000 while as a matter of fact the value was $600,000. Counsel for ehe administrators said the in crease in value did not come until after Mrs. Heft had received her ali- mony. Judge Webb decided in favor of the administrators.

THE TRAINMEN ASK
 FOR EIGHT HOUR DAY

The trainmen contend that, in spite of increases in railway pay, the labor cost of the transportation companies have constantly tended downward.
 What they mean is that the rail- roads have been getting more and more labor out of the trainmen. This has been done by lengthening pas senger trains without at the same tinnes putting on additional employees. Heavier and heavier freight trains have been sent over the divisions. Some of these trains have been so long that the locomotives were able to pull them only at slow speed. Except where legislation has forced fH, the train crews have remained un- changed Thus-the trainmen say the increased labor productivity has played an important part in increas- ing railroad earnings. They insist they should have larger share of the increment and so demand an eight hour day without decrease in pay.
 One of the arguments for scientific management has been that it would increase the benefits of labor. give it higher pay, lower the working day. What the railroads have done in re- cont years has been to apply scfen- tif.c management to their business so far as they could do so.
 Aside from the merits of the rail- way dispute, 1t must be- borne in mind that the whole proposition of scien- tiflc management iss bound to fail un- less increased profits derived from the system are divided, in amounts small or large, with labor. The in- creased production under the scheme is greatly to be desired by the nation. But 1t is also highly desirable that 1. ths benefits so obtained shall mot be Gonccrtrated in a few hands, but dis

Members Complain to Judge
That They Can't Agree on
Voting Indictments--TWo

The grand jury is hope
lessly deadlocked over the
investigation of the strike
situation i'm Tacoma, and
probably will he dismissed
the first of next week.
This was learned definitely
Saturday noon after the morning
deliberations. when half dozen
of the men probers, headed by
Foreman S. L. Gange of Graham,
went before Judge Clifford and
complained they couldn't get any
where with indictments.
1t was indicated that number
of the members, including the five
women on the jury, had baked
at the proposed indicting of strik-
ers alleged to have been in
volyed in street riots, and were
making any further progress in
that direction impossible.
Among the complaining
members were Mort Camp

at the Milwaukee docks, and
+. W. MaIOtt, superintendent
of the South Tacoma \. i.
car shops, both of whom
were challenged by attorneys
for the Iongshoremen when
the grand jury was being
selected.
They were challenged because
they were officials of concerns
which had obtained injunctions
against the strikers. Both of
them swore they would be impair
tial, and were allowed TO remain.
Today's events were not the
first evidence of serious friction
in the grand jury room, which at
times has developed a good deal
of heat. This was the second
time, it was learned. that COM
plant has been made to the
judge.
The first evidence that the
breach had gone beyond repair
came Saturday morning, when the
jury and Prosecutor Phelps
ceased to call any more strike
witnesses.
Instead George Harrigan, court
stenographer, was called in and
passed the morning reading the
testimony of witnesses taken at
