RAILWAY MEMS THREAT
Engineers and FIremen to Demand
Reinstatement Of Police Force

WINNIPEG, Man, June 13.-Possi-
bility of walkout Of railway engine
men and firemen was the latest de-
yelopment Of the general strike sit
uation here today. What practically
amounts to an ultimatum will be de-
lvered to the city council today when
the railway men demand reinstate-
ment of the police force.
Settlement of the strike today ap-
peared as remote as it did at the time
of the initial walkout twenty nine days
ago.
r. B. Russell Of the executive COM
mittee discredited claims of the cftt-
zens committee that the strike is dis
integrating. He said the total number
lost from the ranks was exceeded by
heretofore unorganized workers.
Formation of an arbitration board
OF strikers, employers and disinter-
ested persons has been suggested.
Senator Robertson, federal minister OF
labor, however, said the federal gov
ernment will not recede from Its stand
against settlement until the sympa-
thetic strike is called off. Robertson
is seeking some basis on which strike
settlement negotiations may be start
ed.
The campaign against undesirable
aliens has netted more than a score

expected to fall into the net.

former British amateur champion, this
Is Incorrect.
Many years before vnrdOn vas TAX
ing part In championship golf a GER
tain amateur, John Ernest Laidley,
wns playing better than any other In
Scotland and ut the same time much
more on a par with the best prOfes.
S!onal talent In either Scotland or
England, says Hilton. Laidley was
holding the grip of all his clubs by the
aid of overlapping the fingers Of the
right hand over the forefinger and
thumb OF the left hand, and his sue
cess was so great that one would have
naturally assumed that he would have
many imitators.
No doubt In his own circle at Mus
%selburgh and at North Berwick there
was n certain coterlc Of admirers who
followed him, but rs none of them
made any marked success II became
somewhat recognized that Laldley's
unique methods were simply the &C.
centricity Of golf genius, and were not
safe for the ordinary man to initiate.
Next to adopt the overlapping grip
among the famous players was ]. II.
Taylor. He Is n slightly younger man
than Vardon, and while II would not
be fair to assume that he took To the
method Of grip before Nurdon, he APP
peared In first class golf before the
Jersey man and made n success Of It
before the latter did, so he must be
viewed In the light of being the sec
ond apostle Of the grip which is so
prevalent in present.day golf.
A little later Vardon came on the
scene, utilizing a similar grip 10 that
OF Laidley and Taylor, and II was
only then that the critics began thor
oughly 10 realize that there must he
something in this unorthodox method
OF gripping the club. Soon there be.
came quite a craze for overlapping the
fingers, and the comparatively new
form OF hold was termed the "Vardon'
grip, by which II Is referred TO To this
day. BY 'Iat rame II will probably
always be known.
