and Wound a Brakeman
Two Arrests.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Oct. 21.-A hold
up of New York Central train IN the
yard here early today resulted IN the
wounding of a trainman and netted the
bandits less than $100. \ shot fired by
one of the robbers grazed the head OF
Mary ]. Smith, 13 years old, OF Cteye-
land. who prompted by curiosity, dis
obeyed the command of the bandits that
all of the passengers remain IN their
seats or berths.
The hold-up occurred in the switching
yard at Clinton and Lord streets, an
isolated section Five men comprised
the gang. Two covered the engine crew
with reyolvers while the other three en-
tered a Pullman coach that was being
attached to the train firing volley of
shots as they came in the door. George
Sinclair, a brakeman, did not respond
quickly enough to command from the
leader of the bandits and was shot
through the leg. A shot from another
cut a glaze of hair from the head of
the Smith girl.
The thieves apparently were alarmed
at their own noisy demonstration and
fed after collecting about SlO0 from
the passengers in the coach. John
Depka and his brother, Stanley, were
arrested later charged with taking part
in the hOld-up.

The home office also announced that he
had been fed last night
1t was explained that the prison doc
tors were under instructions to use any
possible means to keep him alive, but
that during consciousness he resisted at
tenpts to administer nourishment. Their
attitude is that when he is unconscious
and unable to resist they are carrying
out their orders if they give him food.
The Self-Determination league account
of the feeding said that the lord mayor,
upon, regaining consciousness, detected
the taste of the meat juice and said to
sister near him. "They pricked me

LONDON, Oct. 2I-The London cor
respondent of the Manchester Guardian
and the Sheffield Daily Telegraph state
in their dispatches today they were in
formed that at yesterdays meeting of the
delegates of the national union of rail
way men Secretary Thomas was de-
feated in his fight against a sympathetic
strike with the coal miners, but sue
ceeded in getting an adjournment Of the
meeting until today. Unless negotiations
are reopened, these accounts declare, the
section of the railway men which gained
control of the organization will propose
a lightning" strike beginning at mid
night tonight.
Mr. Thomas's attitude as he left to-
days conference was very grave, giving
the impression that the discussion had
reached a critical stage, Asked whether he
had been defeated in the conference and
n strike had been decided upon he re-
piled, ooh, no." He declared the indus
trial situation might develop into dan
gerous one and that efforts should be
made immediately TO bring the two sides
together.
Should the railway men and transport
workers call a strike, a critical phase ol
the dispute between labor and the gov
ernment would Immediately ensue, it IS
believed, and the ministry of labor has
been exerting its utmost efforts to pre-
vent such a step.
Sentiment in the railway Mems union
seemed to be divided over the course tc
be pursued. Proposals for a compromise
which might permit the miners to return
to work and defer final adjustment. o
their grievances have been brought for
