Chicago, Sept 1.-THE OUTLAW"
rail strike is off.
Early yesterday morning members
of the rank and file announced that
an overwhelming vote in favor of
ending the war against the railroads
had been taken by the switchmen's g
union. Immediately the members Of
John C;runau's OUTLAW" union began
seeking their old jobs. At 3 o'clock
Monday morning the strike, which
had hampered the railroads almost
from the day the government re-
leased control Of them, was history.
Then came the announcement
from Grunau that the strike was not
over-tl1at the final count Of the vote
showed that the men wished to con-
tifue it..
1--WE don't care what Grunau says
about the count of the votes; we
voted to go back to work and we're
going BACK"
That was the statement made by
John Mosier, former Northwestern
switchnlan, as, with more than fifty
others, he approached a terminal SUI
perintendent yesterday and asked for
a job.
1t was echoed by thousands Of 9TH
| er railroad employees who had gone
ION vacation with Grunau's "out-
laws" as they flocked into terminals
| in, the Chicago switching district
seeking employment.
The rush for jobs began at about
a. m. ard continued thruout the day.
More men applied for work than
| the railroads could find room for, but
| thet railroad executives Indicated
| that all the desirable men eventual
| ly would be placed and that those
| who made good would not suffer
greatly, even tho they will not get
their old seniority rights back If
| they stick to the job from now on .
| So great was the rush for places
that railroad executives expressed
| surprise when Informed of the state
ment Of Grunau that the men had
/ voted to carry on the strike"
"The men inform us differently
said the Chicago, Milwaukee, and ST
Paul Operating official. ut is strange
that the men on this line, Grunau's
main oh jective in the fight, should

do SO. We have had long list of ap-
! plications since o'cloclS''-it then
was 4:3.-"and they're still coming

| But we're not interested i'm Mr.
Grunau's fight. We are willing and
anxious to take care of our old men
| We can'r give them back their SEN

en- back will find, as time goes on
that they will have no cause fol
complaint. AS far as we are con-
cerned, the strike appears ended

THE result in Maine,-i no sur

Republican National Chairman
Hays went into the state early, and
that clearly meant that Maine was

display for this campaign.
But neither pyrotechnics nor

NATIONAL MEETING COMMUNITY BODIES
 CALLED BY LANE
Issuing of Call for March 20 Is Last Official Act
 of Secretary Lane, F Now Retired
sy Associated Pros.

Washington, March IA call for 3 national conference on community or- ganizations to be held here March 20 was the last official act of Secretary Lane who retired today as head of the interior department.
 Promotion of the democratic organiza- tion of communities which Mir. Lane said his long public service had convinced him was one of the things most vitally neces- sary to the nations life, will be the oo- ject of the gathering. The programme will include plans to make Flag Day, June 14, also Neighbours Day, with com munity activities in every city and coun- ty, and Hello. Neighbor." the slogan Of the block parties signs and other fes- tivities Eighteen governors have en- dorsed the plan and promised to serve on the national neighbors committee.
 "It is obvious to many of us,' Secre- tary Lane said, that the time has come for the launching of a programme of community organization. Essentially, the object of such programme is to organize the residents of each commun- ity so they can express themselves and act as unit, in order to take part in a democratic national life
 '.The chief instruments of the neighbor- hood organizations would be democratic ally elected councils, which would de- yelop and carry out special programme.
 s.Community life as it existed in the early days of democracy, is now prac- ticany dead. Even our sports are no longer community affairs. If profess sional baseball is good it is because its manager is slSiIlful, not because the peo- pie of the community it represents can play a good game of ball"

 Willard Warner, carpetbagger, was elected by the republican leeisia- ture in 1866 and served a full term until 1872, being succeeded by George Goldthwaite. who in turn was succeed ed by John Tyler Morgan in 1877. Sen- ator Morgan continued in office until his death in 1907. when Senator Bank head succeeded him.

NEGOTIATIONS ON ADR|AT|C ENDED
Entire Question Remains in Suspense With No Settle
 ment in Sight
By Associated rrs.s

London, March 1.-The conversauons between Premier Nitti of Italy and the Jrgo-Siavs, in which Foreign Minister Trumbitcvh and former Premier Pachitch participated, were suddenly broken off today. It is not expected they will be resumed in London during the present week.
 The entire Adriatic question remains in suspense and it seems fairly certain no solution of it will be reached while the supreme council is sitting in London. but that the question will be reopened when the peace conference reassembles in Rome toward the end of the month.
 According to the present arrangement Premier Nitti, accompanied by several others of the Italian delegation, will leave hero next Saturday. Signor Scialoia, the Italian foreign minister. will remain here as head of the Italian dele gation
 No confirmation is obtainable in Italian circles here with regard to the report printed in Le Journal of Paris from Rome that Signor Nitti has offered concessions to the Jugo- Slavs. The Italians here still are anxious to know what will be Presl- dent Wilson's attitude toward the re- opening of negotiations with regard to the Adriatic controversy
