GOVT. OFFICIALS
 FACE DILEMMA

Cleveland, O., April 24.---Govern- ment officials here today faced the dilemma of either backing down from the uftdmatum issued yesterday or ar resting approximately 1,500 stribers.
 Threat of arrest made by John Sawkeu of the department of justice if the men did not return to work was met with defiance at meetings yesterday and last night. The men agreed unanimously to go to ja.hl rather than return to work before their demands are met
 The ultinhatum was placed before the men by F. J. ORourke, president of the Cleveland Yardmen's aSsocta- | tion, and later by each of the system chairmen.
 Officials of the deparament of jus dce in Washington asserted the uat- nlataTn was entirely unauthorized, ac- cording to a despatch received here No order had been issued since the 1 attorney general instructed dEtTIc' attorneys that whenever they found evidence to warrant prosecutions o1 the strikers they should be proceeded against and the terms of the 1-eves act, the Officials said

DAYLIGHT LAW
 AROUSES KICKS

Boston, April 24-The daylight saving change in Massachusetts will be made in the face of protests from officials of other states who object to the revision of railroad schedules, agricultural and milk producers as- sociations in northern New England, and an organization known as the New England Conference Against Daylight Saving. The petition filed by Herbert Myrick, secretary of the conference, in Springfield, asking an injunction against enforcement of the law, was scheduled for a preliminary hearing today before the supreme court. MT. Myrick appealed to Gov ernor Coolidge last night to take steps toward repeal of the measure.
 The New Hampshire Public Service Commission has protested to the I. c. C., against advancing Boston and Maine railroad train schedules one hour to conform with the MaSsa chu- sets law. All the roads have an- nounced revised schedules to conform with the change in time.
 Twelve Rhode Island cities and towns, containing more than so pei
 cent of the states population, vii change time tomorrow. In Maine the 1 cities of Portland, Lewiston and Ban gor and some towns will set theil | clocks ahead one hour. MancheStel 1 is the principal point in New Hamp shire to adopt the plan.

GRAPH. O. LAYS OFF
 12OO MEN

Twelve hundred employees of the Columbia. Graphophone company were discharged this noon, most of them from the West End plant The entire night force and 30 of the day force were let go. Signs were posted in the shop yesterday announcing that a re- duction in the working force was con tenlplated-
 There have been rInroCs for some time that the employees of the Graph ophone company were to strike on May 1 and the men believe that the discharges today were to forestaM such a. strike.
 Only a short time ago the company announced that they were unable to fill the orders which they then had, and said that they had orders enough to keep their plants working for the next, year.
 The employees of a number of fac tories in the city are to hold meetings during the week to take action on what they term to be a concerted ac- tion on the part of the n1anufactuFefs to create a panic and strikes
 The men claim that the action o1 the Singer Company in conpeff1ns the men to work 50 hours a week and the laying of of a considerable num- ber of men at the Graph ophone nac- tory shows that the manufacturers have begun the fight.

CUNMAN SCARE
 PROVES FLIvVER

The "gunmen scare'' which devel- oped last night when two Syrian lace peddlers, K. A. Hanna and Mousa Rizk called at the home of Mayor Clifford B. Wilson, for the purpose of selling their wares, fivvered out in gIoriously in the City court today. Hanna was fined s5 for breach of the peace and peddling without a license, and charges against Rizk were nolled.
 According to the story told in court, the men were on their way from Philadelphia to Boston in an automo- bile yesterday. The breaking of the rear axel on the car forced the pair to stop in Bridgeport until repairs could be made, and they started out to do business during the time they were detained. Upon calling at Mayor Wilson's home, they were reported to the police and promptly picked up on suspicion.
 Rizk has been in America only three days, having come to this country from Syria He produced passports and other credentials in court this morning. After paying the $5 fine the men proceeded on their way to Boston.

NO CHANCE IN
 MEXICAN POLICY

Washington, April 24 While American cruisers were sailing toward rebel-menaced ports in Mex ico today there was lacking any indi- cation of an altered attitude of the United States government Officials of the state and war departm ents continued to watch developments in the new Mexican situation with ap- parent equanimity, and unofficia1ly it was declared that any move by the United States was improbable unless made necessary by the menacing of American lives or interests.
 The despatch of war craft to Ma zatlan to Pobolobampo and Frontera was taken to mean nothing more than a guarantee so far as possible of Americans safety. It was not be1ev- ed that the commanders of those yes sels will be ordered to go further than to afford refuge to such Ameri- cans as chose to go aboard. At Mazat- Ian the number of persons was report ed to be fewer than IS. and a smaller number was at Topo1obampo.
 The number of states which the Sonora representatives here claim have joined in the movement is seven, with a steadily growing list o. i bands of federal troops scattered l through the states yet controlled by l Carranza The most recent defectio1 i claimed IS that of the federal com i mander at Linares, Newuvolon, o1

New York, April 24-The New York Central railroad today announced the embargo on west bound freight, in
 effect since the unauthorized strike of railroad workers began, had been raised, releasing for westward move ment large quantities of merchandise held here for western purchasers. Merchants and manufacturers an nounced that enormous shipments of goods for the western market, held here until freight traffic was less un- certain, would begin moving at once and said shippers felt removal of the
 embargo was evidence that railroads
 had re-established virtually normal freight service.
 Improved passenger and freight conditions were reported by all rail roads and receipts of several hundred carloads of coal and other non-per- ishable freight was pointed out by railroad officials as evidence the strike was ended.

Washington April 24-Warn- ing against further delay in settling the wage demands of the two million railroad work CTS of the country, Timothy Shea, Vice President of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, told the railroad la Dor board today that the men 'were fed up on promises, and dead, dog-tired of delays"
 Mir. Shea presented the demands of the ffremen and host1ers for a basic living wage of $50 a day, with differ entials for skill, responsibility, experi- ence and the increase in the cost of living since the demands were first presented last June. He told the board that the lessons to be learned from the steel, coal and railroad strikes was that "men will not work when they cannot live decentfy on the wages they are paid.'' When he urged the striking railroad men in the east ern terminals to return to work Shea SJcild IHtlT dIAIIfOS5L uIrIS SESdl .IOoCIlI(cA- tion for striking was that they and their families were starving at work and Icy might just as well starve not working
 Citing the conclusions of the recent industrial conferenc that it was fun damen4al that +@the basic wages of all employees should be adequate to main tain the employe and his family in reasonable comfort, and with adequate opportunity for the education of his children, MT. Shea said the railroad workers had been patient and they had been patriotic.
 We were patient he said while the thousands and tens o1 thousands of war millionaires were being created. We have been pa tient while the profiteers have paused in their orgy of spending ill-gotten gains only long enough to skyrocket prices still higher and make mock cry of our governments promise that living costs would be reduced.
 "GentIemen, the time has come when our people say they will nc longer be patriotic only to be plum dered, nor patient only to be pauper' ized They have learned by bitter experience that their landlords are not "patriotic'' and that their grocers are not patient" They are fed up or promises and they are dead, dog-tired of delays"
