agriculturally and commercially. The
citizens of Sank Centre were plainly
told that they must give the fair Of
ficers their hearty cooperation and
support if the best results were to
be achieved.
Supt. J. C. West of the public
schools and also secretary of the
Commercial club discussed the con-
dition of the schools and stated that
the board and faculty were willing to
be used at any time the city's educa-
tional or material interests could be
advanced. He urged that the citi-
zens get back Of the band whole
heartedly, in fact make it the COM
merial Clubs band. The work of
the Commercial Club is not of today
only but of the future. Interest in
the club should not be allowed to
lag, it should be a duty as well as
privilege to give the organization
their moral and financial support.
Many Of the good citizens of the city
were not members of the club, a con-
dition which should not exist as the
club was working for the entire COM

munity. There were too many or
CARNATIONS in town, the purposes of
which could very well be worked
out within the Commercial Club
and cut down expenses, as many
of the citizens were supporting all OF
the organizations. The city must go
hand in hand with the Commercial
Club and both must be kept alive.
All differences must be buried for
the good of the city.
Gordon Morse stated that the pro-
gram, outlined by the Mayor was not
extravagant and they could be car
ried out if the citizens worked in un-
ity. The development was largely a
matter of education. Mr.. Morse said
that meetings such as were being
held on this occasion were a mighty
fine thing for the development of
community spirit and community
progress. =
DR.. Dubois said the getting to-
gether of the Commercial Club and
citizens to discuss public affairs was
a splendid thing and should be con-
tinued. He indorsed the program of
outlined by the mayor.
Laurel Kells discussed some things
that must be done before lights and
paving could be installed, among
them was the forcing Of proper al
leys through some of the city blocks.
He suggested that within a ten year
period every city Of the size Of Sank

practical idea relative to the hand
ling of automobile tourists. Many
wide awake communities are arrang-

Chicago Strikers
Refuse to Return,
Reiterate Demands and
Insist on Recognition
as the Governing Body

CHICAGO, April l7-Hope for i'm
mediate settlement of the rail strike
here to-day apparently was definitely
lost at noon, when the grand lodge Of
ficers, directors and trustees of the
OUTLAW" union reiterated their original
demands, and added new ones to the
list
1t was reported when the leaders
of the insurgent organization went
into session that they were planning to
advise their men to return to work.
At the close of the session, John
Grunau, president of the Chicago
Yardmen's Association, which called
the first strike here, issued the follow
ing statement:
AT meeting of grand lodge officers,
board of directors and board Of trus-
tees of the Chicago Yardmen's Asso-
citation at 10 a. m, it was unanimously
decided that the original demands Of
the Chicago Yardmen' Association
presented to the General Managers AS
ISOLATION shall stand. Also that, so
far as switchmen and switch tenders
are concerned, we must be recognized
as the governing body. Also that there
shall be no discrimination against any

created and organized, and i'll hear
testimony and evidence from the ex-
ecutive officers of the organization on
Monday April 10.
"They were informed that we would
go before the board and present claims
for increases for all tiremen on all the
railroads in the United States and that
officers of other organizations would
do likewise. For some reason or other,
our appeals were not accepted and the
men voted to stay out.
1--WE are leaving for Washington to-
morrow morning, and we are conveying
the following instructions to all mem
bers of the brotherhoods of firemen
and engineers: Meet jointly in your
locals and take action so that your
rights and interests may be protected
1--WE are making this appeal through
the press as the men are being led
astray by irresponsible leaders. From
our long experience as officers of our
organizations, we are sure that all the
members of these bodies will accept
this in good faith and comply with our
request, as it is not only for their
interests, but for their families in

Union Officials Held
On Conspiracy Charges
Chicago Express Clerks Heads
Accused of Sluggings
During Strike

CHICAGO, April 17.-Officers of the
Chicago Express Clerks and Freight
Handlers Union, an "outlaw" organi-
cation, which has been on strike since
March 6, were arrested tonight on
charges Of conspiracy preferred by
States Attorney Hoyne.
The men, formerly officers of Chi
cago local of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way and Steamship Clerks, affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor,
were expelled from the brotherhood
when they called the strike in defiance
Of an order issued by J. ]. Forester,
president of the national organization.
They are: R. E. Sheperd, head of the
seeding union; w. H. Nuehlke, secre-
tary and treasurer, and O. M. Brown,
business agent. The three held SINH
lar positions in the Chicago local of the
brotherhood.
The strike was directed against the
American Railway Express Company to
enforce demands for wage increase
Of $35 a month. Four freight and ex-
and an embargo was declared by the
express company. Several weeks ago,
however, the company announced that
virtually all strikers had returned to
work, and embargoes were lifted.
An investigation was begun by the
States Attorneys office, leading to the
arrest of twelve men, from some of
whom confessions of slugeing and
throwing chemical bombs. were OBJ
tanned, officers said.
Brown, accordingsto the States At
torney's office, led the slugging expe-
ditions. 1t was announced evidence
had been obtained that from IS to $135
was paid for sluggings.

out. ad no coal is being moved from

Rail Labor Board
Ready for Business
r. M. Barton, of Public
Group, Is Chairman;
Dock Strike Is Passed

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Rail
road Labor Board got down to bust
ness to-day with the election Of Judge
r. M Barton. of Tennessee, member
of the public group, as permanent
chairman and the appointment of c. P.
Carrithers. of Texas, as permanent sec
rotary. Mr.. Carrithers was formerly
secretary of Adjustment. Board No. Of
the Railroad Administration.
With it's machinery in working order
to adjust the wage demands of nearly
100000 railway employees, the board
received the controversy as it stood
when the bipartisan adjustment board
failed to reach a settlement April /.
w. N. Doak, vice-president of the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen, pre-
sented the workers case, and E. T.
Whittier, chairman of the Association
of Railway Executives, appeared for
the railroads.
Action by the board to force the
New England Steamship Association to
reinstate men who had left their jobs
during the "outlaw strike was asked
by Z. I. Fitzgerald, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship
Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and
Station Employees, and j. H. Pruett,
of New York, representing the Mas
ters, Mates and Pilots Association.
Steamship clerks and foremen in New
York who went out, it was said, were
now subject to virtual lockout.
The board took no action, ruling that
it only has jurisdiction over disputes
that come before it throughsthe regular
channels provided by the transporter
ton act, which requires all controver-
sizes to be first laid befofe bipartisan
board for adjustment. ~,
The board will resume work Monday,
when A. 0. Wharton, of the labor group
who has not yet assumed his duties, is
expected to be present. SO far the ses-
slons OF the board have been behind
closed doors.

incident to the strike were being in
vestigated to-day by Federal agents.
A shortage of potatoes, developed in
the last month, which has sent whole
sale prices to from $3.50 to SITE a
hundred pounds, was given especial
scrutiny.
Thirty representatives of produce
concerns were called before the Fed
eral grand jury yesterday and ques-
toned concerning alleged profiteering
in foodstuffs
