Boston, Jan. 31.-The New England League of Baseball Clubs passed out of existence tonight when President Timothy H. Murnane finally adjourned it's annual meeting.

It is almost impossible to fully eliminate this kink, but a simple temporary relief is to fasten a metal clamp, such as is commonly used to retain the pipe to the radiator, on the pipe at the kink.

WAGE SCALE REJECTED.
Federal Arbitration Board Fails to
Settle Railway Strike in Alaska.

SEWARD. Alaska, April 2s.-The
Anchorage labor union has rejected the
wage scale offered by the federal arbi-
tration board endeavoring to settle the
strike among workmen on the govern
ment's railroad in Alaska. The strike
began February ~.
The scale offered was: For common
laborers. $3.50 day of eight hours;
for longshoremen. $3.50 a day; for car
penters, machinists and other skilled
workmen. 10 cents an hour.
According to railroad officials the
American workmen at Anchorage were
satisfied with the scale, but the for
eign element, comprising majority of
the common laborers, dominated the
meetings of the union and stood out
for a minimum of SO cents an hour for
common labor.

Think obregon Will Yield.

From an authoritative source 1t was
leared that the Mexican minister of war
had signified his willingness to meet Gems
Funston and Scott half way" in the
coming negotiations.
1t was pointed out in other quarters
that this might mean that Gen. Obregon
would give his consent to continue the
presence of Gen. Pershing's columns on
Mexican soil provided the actual chase
of Villas forces was relnqushed entire
ly to the Carranza troops and provided
withdrawal was arranged to follow re-
ceipt of assurances from the de facto
government that the bandit troops had
been wiped out
1t was asserted by Mexican officials
that with the large commands at his
disposal Gen. Obregon could vanquish
the already scattered bandits in a very
few months. They argued that on the
completion of this task the Americans
should consider their mission in Mex
leo concluded, and retire Immediately
thereafter.
The opinion is general that if the
United States insisted on contin-
uance of the new troop movements
recently ordered by Gen. Funston and
now being carried into effect, the
minister of war could not well refuse
to graft the proposal, as to do SO
would be to endanger the relations be-
tween the American and Mexican gov
ernments.
