John Rottiers Dead

John Rottiers, a well-known farmer
living one mile south of Birch Run, died
in the General Hospital at Saginaw,
Monday afternoon, as result of in
juries sustained in an automobile acci-
dent week ago last Saturday, upon
which pneumonia supervened with fatal
result. Mr.. Rottiers, his son, Ruther-

were on their way to the northern part
of the state on hunting trip when the
accident before mentioned took place
Mr.. Rottiers was driving his car and
when in Saginaw, at about eight o'clock
in the morning, in some way collided
with street car, with the result that
the automobile was quite badly dam
aged and the driver sustained injuries
which, though not considered serious,
Mr.. Rottiers was the only occupant of
doctors considered his injuries of so
slight character that they told him he
could probably continue his trip in a
couple of days. The patient did not re-
cover as rapidly as had been anticipa-
ted, however, and pneumonia setting
in, he gradually but steadily grew
worse until death came. Mr.. Rottiers
was as years of age and had resided in
Birch Run township for many years,
where he was greatly esteemed. He is
survived by his widow and seven chill
dren. Mr.. Rottiers was member of
Vienna Lodge, No. 205, F. & A. M, and
of st. Bernard Commandery, X. T., of
Saginaw. Funeral services will be held
from the late home of deceased this,
Friday, afternoon at one clock, and it
is expected that it will be conducted
under the auspices of the commandery
to Which he belonged.

buildings of some of their neighbors
living north of their home. On investi-

belonging to man who was on his way
to Saginaw was burning up. The man
had filled his radiator with mixture of
some kind of oil, to prevent its
freezing, and in some manner this
ignited, or at least the owner attributed
the fire to that cause, and as he was not

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-A general
railroad strike on January / may be
avoided. This Interpretation was
placed today on remarks Of Chief
Stone Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers that the question Of
such strife viii be answered later.
The element OF doubt regarding his
remarks arises from the fact that last
week I'm New York. brotherhood chiefs
flat-footedly said there'd be a strike
II they didn't get a real eight hour day.
Now, il Is believed, the brOtherhoOds
will be content TO await a test OF
constitutionality Of the Adamson
eight-hour measure This is by no
means certain, though as the brother
hoods are shrouding their movements
in an even deeper secrecy than that
which marked their program when
they threatened strike last summer.
To-day the brotherhood chiefs are
in Baltimore speaking before the
American Federation of Labor conven
ton "a move that portends co-opera-
tion between them and the railway
department of the federation TO force
an e.ght-hour day ih all branches of
railroad service. At the same time.
the department of justice and the
brotherhoods' legal department are
ready for the opening Of the Adamson
tests Thursday when the Union Pa
