he asked to mediate in the threatened
railroad strike, which is scheduled to
begin tomorrow evening, when the
railroad managers hurriedly conferred
today shortly after W. G. Lee, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, suggested that step. The
brotherhoods followed the example Of
the managers and also went into infor-
nal conference.
Lee today charged disloyalty TO sev-
eral minor leaders in the brotherhood
councils. 1t was admitted that through
fear OF possible Imprisonment on CON
spiracy charges, the brotherhood
chiefs passed the strike order to the
men by spoken words. The customary
written order was abandoned, it was
intimated, because of the fear that il
might be construed as violation OF
the law forbidding interference with
interstate traffic.

LENIENCY SHOWN !
MAYNARD GIRLS

Working on, the theory that it is
better to cure crime at home than to
saddle it upon other communities,
Judge Harry Irwin this morning gave
suspended sentences to several girls
who have been listed on the police
court calendar for some time and who
pleaded guilty to charge Of vag-
rancy.
It was originally proposed by the
prosecution that suspended sentences
be given, In event of the defendants
leaving the city-but the judge said
this morning that it was practically
impossible for the girls to leave the
territory, and If they were sent some
place else they would almost certainly
revert to their former pra .tises.
OF the 10 cases in court this morn
ing four were continued, one was nolle
pressed and five were disposed of with
suspended sentences. The police in
tend to detail special officers to watch
these women to see that they behave.
