ABANDON PROJECT OF
NATIONAL STRIKE

Never again will a nation wide
railroad strike be planned according
to secret word received In Denver by
local members of transportation
brotherhoods, from the heads Of the
brotherhoods, says the Denver Post.
An entirely new plan has been con-
ceived, according to the information.
by which the organizations will seek
concessions in case the Adamson law
proves ineffective or is declared un-
constitutional by the United States
supreme court. The chief detail OF
the new plan is to declare a strike on
a dozen railroads and at terminals,
thereby tying up the railroads suf-
ficiently to gains the ends desired by
the men and not cause public suffer
ing. A number OF other details have
been worked out and are ready in
case an emergency arises.
The communication declares that
another strike vote is not necessary
and all that Is necessary for a strike
to be declared under the new system
10 for local officials of brotherhoods
to be notified by national officers.
The blame for tn efaiiure Of broth
erhood heads and railway heads tC
come to an agreement at Washington
is laid at the door OF the switchmen'l
union, an organization not allied with
the four brotherhoods. They ars
blamed for coming together with rail
road officials for q nine-hour day In
stead of an eight hour day. The a
greement was reached during the pro
gress of negotiations between thu
brotherhoods and railroads. and i
believed by the brotherhoods to havl
had an averse effect on the railroads
The communication also state
that 1t was the unanimous opinion
OF the TOO chairmen who met som
time ago that the best thing tina
can happen as far as they are con
cerned will be for the supreme cour
to declare the Adamson law uncon
EtItutional. II is their belief tina
in such svunt q RSw iaw more favor

LOOKS like KAISER is
STIRRING UP TROUBLE
Believed That Germany is Inciting Strife on the
Mexican Border in Order to Keep United
States Engaged in Home Affairs.

1and or England would undoubtedly
do the task herself.
The possibility of such foreign in
reference in the new world consti-
tuted a source of perplexity here.
There can be no mistaking that Of
fIcials here feel that Germany is be-
hind Carranza's recent anti-ally ac-
tivity and while they do not take his
embargo suggestions seriously they
do fear for what he might stir up
in favor of Germany and against
both the United States and the en-
tente allies.
From Cuba the state department is
receiving reports of the revolution
but thus far is keeping them for the
most part under cover, along with
discussion as to policy.
While these two big international
possibilities shape themselves, the
government has under consideration
still the question OF Germany's de-
tention Of the Yarowdalee prisoners,
the matter OF arming merchantmen
and the question OF a break with
Austria
The Yarrowdale question doomed
large, but its effect on future rela-
tiona with Germany will be changed
only after this government knows the
full particulars of German treatment
of Americans In island possessions
This government wants to be sure
Germany has no ground for protest
Detention Of prisoners in time OF
peace manifestly is a serious affront
though there is reason to believe
Germany will not persist long In hel
position.
The state department Is anxious
to hear from Ambassador Elkus L
Turkey, as he has not communicat
ed since the German break-perhapI
because the central powers are in
terfering.
The armed ship question is likel!
to be settled soon; there are NJ
signs that there are any changes to
ward providing guns directly or in
directly from the navy's supply.

Washington, Feb. 14.-German in
fluence was seen today in Mexican
and Cuban affairs.
AS officials viewed conditions tc
the south of this nation. it appear.
cd more than likely that Germany
was stirring up trouble there to keep
the United States engaged in nearer
home affairs 80 she would pay less
attention to German acts on the
ocean.
Evident German pressure on Gen
eral Carranza has already had the eff
feet of forcing British consideration
Of landing troops at Tampico to pro-
tect the oil wells supplying England's
big navy, according to intimations In
diplomatic quarters.
AS for Cuba, the situation may be-
come such that American interfer-
ence will be necessary, though as the
revolt there stands now. intervention
is not yet required.
Border activities, with unofficial
reports OF killing Of three Americans
served to accentuate the Mexican
problem. 1t is known that the war
department is keeping an extra care
full watch on the boundary for fear
that trouble involving the United
States will again break out.
In connection with the Mexican
problem, it was recalled today that g
German embassay agent was in close
and almost constant touch with the
Mexican-American peace commission
when 1t sat at Atlantic City.
1t is known too that some OF Gen
eral Carranza's followers have fell
that German and Japanese suppor
were with the Constitutionalist gov
ernment. While cabinet member
have expressed doubt that Great Brit
ian will land troops to protect Brit
ish oil interests at Tampico, It Il
more than certainty than England
will not look idly on II Carranza car
ries out any plan OF stopping her ricl
oil supplies from going forward from
Tampico.

DEATHS CAUSED FROM
HOME CANNED VEGETABLES

DR.. Hottendorf writes from Los
Angeles. under date OF Feb. IL. as
follows:
Have Just returned from Escondi-
do. Cal, where have been studying
number OF Eases OF Botulism.
The food expert OF Stanford univer-
sity made q special trip down to in.
vestigate this disease. Out OF the
nine cases caused by eating home
canned string beans, three died with
in two days and the other six have
had hard time to pull through.
Last year, in a neighboring town,
five people who ate home canned ap-
ricots died from the same disease. 80
you can see Il caused quite little
excitement.
The food expert, DR.. Dickson.
claimed that the disease does not
occur from eating fruits or vegetables
canned at the canneries. but all OF
the cases were due 10 eating home
canned goods; the reason attributed
being that the home-eanned, either
canned or bottled goods, are usually
| not sterilized as thoroughly as at the
factories. II is necessary TO steriIize
the goods on three successive days
and to allow them to stand in warm
places In the intervals. in order to
be sure to kill all the Botulism germs
But, ten minutes thorough boiling
will destroy the poison which causes
the sickness. therefore one should
never take chances on eating home
canned or bottled fruits or veget
ables without first boiling ten min
utes before serving.
This germ does not grow in iell5
and preserves which contain greai
deal OF sugar II is impossible TO tel
by the taste whether the goods hav.
been contaminated by this germ ol
not. so the only safe way is to boi
everything in this line.
