Rcd Reign Starts.

Chicago, April 9.-One switchman
was shot and several slugged at meet
ings of striking railroad men last
night, police learned today. John
Kriutz, a striker, who proposed that
the men return to work. was shot, it
was reported. He was taken away in
an automobile by friends. Trouble
broke out at two meetings of the new
ly formed Chicago yardmen's associa-
tion when members suggested a return
to the ranks of the established broth
erhood.
Sabotage and violence was advo-
Gated by one Of the speakers, f. c.
Esty. a Chicago yard association or
ganizer. who participated in the Gary
steel strike and several labor disturb
ances here. They call me a rebel"
Esty told the strikers. I'm proud to
be a rebel. In 1910 I had charge OF
n railroad strike in the twin cities
Minneapolis and St. Paul. The men
all went out and stayed out.
Got I. w. w. Help.
ct went down to the I. w. w. head
quarters and got some help. Then.
one day, four passenger trains were
wrecked. The next daily seven freight
trains were wrecked. Then we sent
word to the railroads that If they did
not come across we'd tear down the
IOunu nOuSe- 1n6y QluIl dnSWer-We
did. The round house was torn down.
Then the railroad begged for
mercy and asked to meet us. We told
them to come to u.s. There was q
meeting. The union drew up a con-
tract and the railroad refused it. The
next day we blew up a bridge That
night an ice jam formed in the river
and tore down the rest of the bridge
so they don't know to this day who
did the job. But we won the strike.
Il did 90 days in jail for blocking
the rails. 1 got off Tight because I
told the judge 1 did not know the law
But Of course I knew it then as we'll
as l do now"
Embargoes Declared.
Kansas City. Mo. April 9.-Railroad
officials today placed an embargo on
all closes of freight here. All fif-
teen hundred switchmen in the
Greater Kansas City district are now
out No freight of any kind is being
moved here except by the Burlington
which has four freight engines and
crews operating. All available help
has been turned to making up passen-
ger trains. Most of these are leaving
on schedule.
The railroads are making no efforts
yet to break the strike. No strike
breakers are being hired. Officials say
they are giving union leaders a chance
10 persuade their men to live up to
their contracts.

strike. The engineers are ready to
work whenever furnished firemen.

SUNRISE SERVICE
 HELD ON DESERT ] AT PAPAGO PARK

Nearly three score young people of the Central Christian and First Pres byterian churches gathered yesterday morning in a sunrise union Thanksgiv- Ing service of the Christian Endeavor soceties of the two churches. Simple, yet impressive as we'll as novel, the services proved most pleasant to all who attended the meeting.
 The young people met at the Gen. tral Christian church at 6 o'clock yes- terday morning and then enjoyed what was a distinct novelty to most of them watching the moon disappear over the horizan as they travelled eastward to the desert
 Then, grouped on a hillside in Papago park. they watched the sun break through the soft, pearly white clouds, tinting the sky in shades of rose and gray and shedding a misty light over the panaramic view of the valley as 1t lay befort them. with far off mountains outlined in the distance.
 As the picture on the canvas of the eastern sky was shifting and changing with the coming of the day service be- gan the Lords prayer, given in unison by all. followed by the doxology, sung from hearts full of thankfulness.
 O. R. Craig then read the Scripture passage describing Jesus and the disci-
 
 desert to rest awhile" and emphasized the thought, in a few words, that 1t was the privilege of man still to go to the desert to rest a while and draw closer to the Creator of all things.
 Many of the young people then brief ly outlined their particular reasons for thanksgiving The common blessings of life, sunshine, the beauties of the world, friends, food, were mentioned, with many other reasons. such as thankfulness for what lies in the fu- ture, the work and good to be accom- plished.
 Another speaker reminded the gath ering of the purpose of the Christian E1ndeavor societies of the southwest tC hold sunrise services that morning, anc was thankful for the strength repre- sented in the thousands of people who were watching the same sunrise anc returning thanks to the God who gav' them so much to enjoy in the Christian Endeavor movement.
 Thankfulness for the country and tho things for which 1t stands was ex- pressed as all sung America" and aft. CT Rev. A L. Odell had voiced il urayer the thanks felt in every heart the service ended. Coffee and dough. nuts were then served. and after the entire group had been photographed tho young people returned home. bet. ter prepared to enjoy thanksgiving 1T tho spirit in which it was first observed Ig9 years ago.

Tho only law that could have an1
effect on high cost OF living. would
be one fixing the per cent OF profil

This would neccasltate the fixing
OF wages that men should rcc.iv,

such a law would be hazardous
Much Ia said in connection with
