KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 30.--Mayor
Sowgill, and Mayor Mendenhall, rep
resenting the Kansas Cities, have sent
calls to the governors of Missouri and
Kansas, asking immediate dispatch
Of Federal troops to keep open the
railroad terminals and allow trains
to run.
An outlaw strike of 1900 switch
men. on practically all roads enter
ing here, instituted late yesterday,
which threatened to stop shipments
OF much needed coal and fuel, was the
reason for the request.
To Protect swftc men.
The troops, II sent, will be used to
protect switchmen who rmain at work
and any volunteers who may be placed
in the yards, officials said.
In the face of warning that such
action was illegal under the laws OF
their brotherhoods, the outlaw strike
was begun late yesterday.
Although there were Indications
that a conservative element among the
switchmen were inclined to consider
strike. all switchmen were reported
out by the + ansas City Southern, Chi
cago and Alton, Wabash. Katy, Mis-
souri, Pacific, and the Santa Re roads.
About 1000 switchmen are employed
here.
CLEVELAND. Nov. 30.-W. G. Lee,
president of the Brotherhood OF Rail-
way Trainmen, has wired w. NJ. Cor
bett, Government railroad representa-

posed strike of trainmcn in that city
Is illegal. He also stated that no pro-
lection or benefits of the brotherhood
will be given to men participating In
strikes at Kansas City or at any other
points.
When rumors OF the impending
strike were called to Lees attention
two days ago, he said his organiza-
tion would not sanction any such ac-
tion at this time.

ONE of the most rabid base ball

time than formerly. also. to enjoy the
national pastime. Hence, whenever
the Washington team is home and
Kitchin has no pressing duties on
hand he goes to the ball game.
Intensely as he is interested in the
game. however, even it's attractions
are not sufficient to keep him out of
political arguments even when he is
seated in the grandstand
This was proved recently when
kitchin, in the fifth inning of a warm
game, with Walter johnson and an
other far-famed pitchers opposing
each other, became engaged in heat
ed controversy as to whether the demo.
Gratis had placed too low rate on
canary bird seed, or something like
that. 1t got to be such an arm
swinging debate that Kitchin and his
friends lost all track of the game
and, when the argument ended. both
men looked up to find the players
gone, the grandstand deserted and
the park janitor busily engaged in
herding up the peanut Shells Kitchin
and his friend thereupon went out to
a cigar store and asked the score Of
the game they had paid to see.
