Five Sailors Arrai gned
On Charges Of Muliny
Fight Over Shore Leave at
Harbor in Barbados Given
sa the Ca,lse

SIX members of the crew of the
steamship Castlewood were arraicned
Tor examination before United States
Commissioner McGoldrick in Brooklyn
yesterday on charges of mutiny. They
are James c. Peterson, Daniel Kelley,
Henry Bruning, Vincent O'Toole, Law
renee Wagner and Gustave H. Jashden.
While the vessel which had crew
of forty men, anchored in Car
isle Bay, Barbados, on August IA,
Peterson asked permission to go
ashore. When Captain Alexander
Mitchell refused permission, it is said,
on the ground that the United States
Consul IN the port had issued orders
prohibiting all shore leave, Peterson
declared that he would go anyway The
captain, who is a large man, knocked d
Peterson down.
A fight followed and the captain sent
a signal for help to which the harbor
police responded. The other five men
now accused. it is alleged, joined with
Peterson, and said they would not sail
with the captain. Finally, however.
they returned to the ship and brought
her back to New York. 1t is now tied
up at Pier 26. Brooklyn.
Yesterday the captains testimony
was corroborated by Walter Graul, first
mate, and by George c. Snyder, third
mate. Commissioner McGoldrick ex-
pressed doubt that the action of the
men was mutiny, and directed that
briefs be prepared for to-day on the
nature of mutiny

Hines Issues UItimatum
To Striking Shopmen
Director General OF Railroads
to Fill Places of Workers
Vho Don'fReturn Tomorrow

WASHINGTON, Sept 4.-Walker D..
Hines, Director General Of Railroads.
tonight issued an ultimatum to rail
way shopmen who are still on strike
IN three railroad centres of the coun-
try TO resume work by next Saturday
or their places would be filled
1t was reported that the men affected
employees Of the New York Central
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and
Baltimore and Ohio roads, had re-
ceived Director Illness telegram and
it was indicated they would comply
with It's terms without further demon
strations.
Although railway. shopmen have
declared by vote of $4,000 to
$4,000 that the wage advance Of
fered by President Wilson is not
acceptable as basis of settlement
of their demands, they have decided
to leave the question of a strike in
the hands of their international officers.
1t was announced to-day that the ex-
ecutive council of the railway en-
ployes' department of the American
Federation of Labor would not put
the strike vote into effect until the
outcome of the governments efforts
to reduce the cost Of living had be
come apparent
Representatives of the 100000 mem
bers of the United Brotherhood of
Maintenance Of Way and Railroad
Shop Laborers asked the railroad
wage board to-day to adjust their
wages in accordance with the princip pie
laid down by President Wilson in ap-
proving adjustments last week for the
railroad shopmen.
The board was told the men adhered
to the Presidents decision that there
should be no general increases Of wages
while government agencies wc~a
actively seeking to return economic
conditions to normal, but that they
felt the inequalities in pay existing
as between the employees of different
railroad systems should be corrected.
The maintenance of way men and shop
laborers, the spokesmen said. received
the lowest rates of pay of any class Of
employees in the railroar service.
Decision to ask for an adjustment of
their wages at this time was reached
by the men recently through a secret
ballot. 1t was announced that the
question of general wage increase
would be considered at the annual con-
vention of the Brotherhood at
Detroit, September 8.
