RAILROAD MEN
 VOTE FOR STRIKE
In Country Wide Referendum Sem timent. for Walkout Received Big Maj0rity-United States May
 Take Over Railroads.

St. Louis, July 27.-The strike vote of the four train service brotherhoods which ended last night at midnight, resulted over- whelmingly in favor of a strike.
 Confidential advices received to- night by the St. Louis Republic from all sections of the country jus tify the forecast that from between 96 and 9S per cent of the brother hoods membership have voted in favor of a Nationwide strike, af- fecting every railroad in the United States and approximately 450000 employees.
 It is planned to have the count ing finished August 6 and a monster mass meeting of the four brother hoods has been called for the Am sterdam Opera House in New York that night The result then will be announced.
 To Give Roads One More Chance.
 It is expected that a joint confer ence of brotherhood officials and railway managers will be held shortly after. at which the railroad heads will be informed officially the result of the ballot and asked as to whether they care to amend their refusal made in June, to the de- mands of the men for an S-h0ur day and for time and a half for overtime. The strike vote, just fln- ished. gives brotherhood officials the right to call strike whenever they deem it advisable.
 At the June conference the roads offered to submit the question to arbitration, suggesting the Inter- state Commerce Commission. This the brotherhood refused. It is ex- pected that suggestions will be re- newed by the roads. It Is deemed just as certain that the suggestion will again be refused.
 Government May Seize Roads.
 Should the strike be ordered by the brotherhoods developments would necessarily follow rapidly. The strike order would paralyze transportation, for it would take out of service practically every engin- ger. fireman, conductor and train man in the country. 1t is known that the railroads are preparing as best they can for this emergency. Tuesday the general manager of the Frisco. F. D. Levy. stated that he will receive applications from en- gineers, flremen. trainmen and switchmen to prepare for such an eventuaIity. The Pennsylvania, Union Pacific and other roads have issued similar statements. It is also known that should the break come the roads will at once ask President Wilson for aid either in the way of protection for new crews that the trains may be run. or that the gov- ernment take other action to end the strike
 James J. Keegan, commissioner of the Federal Department of Labor, while in St. Louis recently, declared that the federal government would seize all railroads twenty-four hours after the strike was declared.

Alleged Moonshiner Soon to Be Re- turned to Fort Smith to Face Charges-Rendered Valuable
 Service to Government

Columbus. N. M., July 26.-The expeditionary scout known as Guy Johnson, held here by the military authorities, confessed today that he is Guy Hartman, wanted by the United States authorities at Fort Smith, Arkansas, in connection with alleged m00nshine whiskey frauds.
 After four days of strenuouse de- nial Hartman, whose bravery as a scout with the American punitive expedition in Mexico won official praise, today admitted his identity and expressed his willingness to return to Fort Smith. Ark, to face the charges against him in connec- tlon with internal revenue frauds.
 T am glad that the suspense is over" Hartman said. The danger with Villistas is as nothing as com pared with the gnawing of ones conscience. l might as we'll be a good soldier and face the music"
 In long statement to secret ser vice men from the department of justice at Washington. Hartman confessed that. after jumping a large bond at Fort Smith, he fled to El Paso and entered Mexico. He was employed at odd jobs, often menial. in Juarez and other Mexi- can towns further south. Several times he narrowly escaped from murder at the hands of Villistas.
 Under the name of Johnson he joined the American punitive ex- petition as a guide and scout i'll April, shortly after United States troops entered Mexico He took part in several engagements with bandits and was repeatedly com plimented by officers for bravery under fire Secret service men said that Hartman would waive ex- tradition.
 Photographs Had Fixed" Him.
 Columbus. July 26.-Two officials today compared photograph of Guy Hartman, wanted in Fort Smith, Ark, for internal revenue frauds, with Scout Guy Johnson, at present held in the stockade here, and declared their belief that the men were the same.
 Johnson reluctantly admitted that he had fled to Mexico to escape a charge in the United States but denied connection with the Fort Smith liquor fraud ease.
 The two deputy sheriffs who cap tured Johnson at the border claim a reward of 5000, said to have been offered for the arrest of Hartman
 Johnson stoutly maintains his innocence of lawbreaklng. He says mistake has been made in identi- ty. He joined Pershing at Cocoma- rachic. Chihuahua, in April, as a scout His services have proved in valuable. army officers say. Once with two soldier companions, JOhn- son routed ten Villistas at Coeoma- rachic, killing one and wounding another. They captured three horses.
