Trouble in Chicago Yards

BY Roads to Have Re-

Chicago. July 2S.-Movement O
freight to. through and from Chicago
| was handicapped today BY the strike
of 10 railroads of switchmen affiliated
with the brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen.
For a time after the men walked
out at 8 a. m, the possibility of media :
ton hung in the balance, but before
noon the present livelihood Of federal
relief vanished with the refusal of the
strike leaders to accept the offices Of
q. w. w. Hanger Of the federal board
of mediation and Cancellation.
Contending that they sought only
the establishment Of reasonable rnle $
regarding employment, promotion and
dismissal OF switchmen, the strike
leaders asserted that close TO 5000 men
quit work. The railroad managers
conference committee placed the num-
Der who refused to work ut less than
$500. and declared the cause of the
strike to be insistence by the strikers
on rules which in effect amounted To
the establishment Of a closed shop
against switchmen. not members Of
the r. r. r..
Situation Complicated.
The situation was further compli-
Gated by the Switchmen's Union Of
America. also largely employed on the
19 roads in the Chicago switching dis
trict. The members of this union, af-
filiated with the American Federation
of Labor and not with the r. Of r. T.,
remained at work with few exceptions.
In the eyes of some of those who
watched the progress of the strike it
was regarded as a fight between the
two switchmen's organizations. as well
as a contest with the railroads.
Half Of Force at Work.
Railroad officials daclerad late in the
day that their switch yards We're work
ing with half of the normal force and
asserted that such a record the first
day of the strike demonstrated that
the roads could resume normal condi-
tons in a few days regardless OF a
settlement of the strike.
Railroad officials said that govern
ment supplies and mail had not been
delayed
There was no violence reported, al
though police protection was furnished
at all the switching yards and at ter
minals. Deputy sheriffs We're sent to
outlying railroad yards at the request
of some OF the roads.
James Murdoch, vice president of
the brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
cautioned the men to remain away
from the switch yards and to conduct
themselves in an orderly manner.

Then there are the famous Waterloo

Take note OF the tenors as they move
by. Jacob Graf, who sang at the first
concert of the Oratorio Society, had al
ready done his stint In German opera,
as we can testify from our own knowl-
edge, and is still living in character
istic cheerfulness in Brooklyn. George
Simpson and William Courtney pre-
served English traditions in oratorio
singing-the only traditions Of the kind
that are worth tuppence. William
Castle and Joseph Mas came from the
English opera ranks, though the latter
was a Swede or Dane. Castle died
two years ago, or thereabouts, IN Chi
cago. A sweet voice was his, and an in
gratiating style. Sexagenarians may
remember his singing Of ballads in
Castle & Campbell's Minstrels what
time Theodore Thomas blacked his face
and played in the orchestra. William

manner and Christian Fritsch some

Toedt, we believe, while developing
from chorister and solo boy of Trim
ity into one of the most admired ora
torio singers in the country, sang in
Dr.. Damrosch's choir. His name ap-
pears as a solo singer on the pro-
grammes Of the messiah" perform
ance of 1850, together with the names
Of Miss Bailey and Mr.. Henschel. In
November, 1881, Italo Campanini (the
Caruso of that day. sang the solo in
the "Sanctus" OF Berlioz's setting of
the Mass for the Dead, and a year later
Signor Ravelli performed the same SER
vice. Both were members of Colonel

in the period were Franz Remmertz,

correct intonation, firm attack and
great deal of expression; and II they
continue in the road upon which they
have entered with so much promise,
