RAIL WAY STRIKE CALLED .
 BY SNCPMEN FOR t7TH
Railway Strike is Called by Railway .ShOpmen for February 17th.
 Want More Pay.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 9.-A strike of 100000 members of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees ana Railway Shop Laborers, was called for Tuesday, February F, at a meeting of the general chairman of the brother hood here today.
 Decision to order cessation of work was announced by Grand Presi- dent Allen B. Barker, following advic- es from Washington that the negotia- tions with the railroad administration for wage increases offered no hope of a favorable statement.
 T am loath to call a strike MT, Barker said, but there is nothing else We can do. Our hands have been for ced, I am tired of the treatment we have received from government off, cials'
 The text of the order calling the strike reads:
 A strike of our entire membership on roads under federal control and those not under federal control is au- thorized to take place at z a. m. Tues cay, February 17th, and will apply to storehouse employees, stationary fire men, stationary engineers, steel bridge workers, cinder pit men and oilers, as well as all other members of our brotherhood. The strike is for the general increase requested last sum- mer and in addition to a uniform rate from coast to coast
 The general ehairmen of the broth erhood who have been in session here for several days. were empowered to order the strike by vote of the union membership last summer. At the con- vention of the brotherhood last Sep tember a strike was postponed in or der that President Wilson might have opportunity to attempt to bring about a reduction in living costs. Accord ing to union officials it's efforts have been fruitless
 Original demands of the brother hoods were for an average increase of forty per cent, the gerater increase to go to the lower paid men.

TWENTY-FIVE DEAD AND
 THIRTY INJURED lk FIRE
Midnight Blaze Traps Occupants of Fashionable San Francisco House;
 Guest Flee in Night Robes.

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-At least 25 dead, with some persons still missing and thirty injured, some seriously, was the toll taken by fire which swept through the five story Berkshire ap- artment hotel here early this morning.
 Three bodies had been taken out and firenlen who searched the upper floor said there was more there.
 Most of those taken to hospitals were women. Some suffered severe burns while others leaped from win dows and balconies.
 Two persons were brought out alive after having been trapped in the build ing two hours. The fire broke out in hall way on the third floor; how, neither police nor fire departments could say. The first alarm anne shortly after midnight and three oth- CTS within few minutes had called almost the city's entire fighting force, to the scent. Police arriving on the scene said more than score of per- sons were clinging to window lodges.
 Occupants of the first and second floor poured from the building seiHe clad only in their night dresses, but many of those on the third floor, and the one above it were trapped by the flames,
 The fire departments ladders would reach only to the fourth floor windows and from these number of persons were rescued Policemen and firemen carried others from the lower floors downstairs and fire escapes, An ex- plosion, apparently on the fourth floor, blew out part of the upper wall. With in half an hour after the first alarm the fire had pierced through the roof and the flames lighted the streets for blocks. Shortly afterward the roof collapsed.

SECRETARY LANE WILL.
 CUT YHE CaBgNET SOON
Will Retire March 1 After 2l Years in Public Service; Has Other
 Work to Follow,

Washington, Feb. 7.-President Will son today accepted, effective March l. the resignation of Franklin K. Lane, for nearly seven years secretary of the Interior Department. The necessity that after 21 years of public life he must "now think of other duties," was the reason assigned by MT. Lane for his withdrawal from the cabinet. and that your entire career will be as full of honorable success as your past"
 MT. Lanes resignation was submit ted last Thursday, his letter shows, but it had been known for many weeks that he intended this action as soon as President Wilson could spare him from the cabinet. In discussion today of his probable successor the name of Alexander T. Vagelsang also of California, was mentioned.
 Secretary Lane, in his letter said:
 ''The program of administration and legislation looking to the development of our resources which I have sug- gested from time to time is now in large part in effect or soon will some into effect through the action of Con gress.
 'I trust that you may soon be so completely restored to health that the country and the world may have the benefit of the full measure of your strength in the leadership of their af- fairs. The discouragements of the present are, I believe, only tempo rary The country knows that for America to stand outside the League of Nations will bring neither pride to us nor confidence to the world"

 Die of Wounds.

shooting affray was pulled off in Dark town this city Saturday after noon in which negro called HBlde Jay was shot and probably fatally injured by another negro, Chas, Scott, of Arden, Scott fired three shots, two taking effect in the side and back One shot pierced the liver Blue Jay" seems to be doing well and says that he is going to recover. The doctors say he may die.
 Blue Jay is sporting coon, it is said. and drifted to this town a few months ago. The officers do not know his real name. He and Scott, the Ar den negro seemed to develop no real affection for each other and had quar- reled on other occasions One of the troubles seemed to be that Blue Jay" was kidding" Scott about his Saturday Night Harrington. and said that he could eat the bullets faster than he could shoot them. It appears from what could be learned also that Blue Jay desired that Scott leave town and that Scot objected. Anyway the particulars are a bit hay, but it seems clear that during the proceed ings Scott pulled his gun and fired 3 times with the above stated results. The shooting occurred in the Ann Rhodes restaurant, west of the Kan sas City Southern station.

 There were 252 new cases of in- fiuenza reported to the City Health Department yesterday, an increase of 101 over Fridays total. There were five, cases of pneumonia. No deaths were reported. The total of influenza cases for the week is 724, most of which have been in a mild form. There have been IS pneu- monia cases recorded during the week and only one death from either in fiuenza or pneumonia.
 The situation in Little Rock is practically the same as last week. says Dr. Thames, the city health of ficer, and the disease may be expect ed to run about two weeks longer There will inevitably be more cases and possibly more severe cases," Dr. Thames said, before the epidemic has run it's course, but the situation is proceeding along the expected lines, Health experts of the United States have predicted return of the epidemic this year in less virulent form, and they have every reason to believe that once started in any com munity, it will run a course of about month.' These predictions, he said, have been fulfilled elsewhere, and there is no reason to expect that influenza will pursue any other course in Little Rock.

 American cotton, the Souths royal staple brought, $13. 100000, 1000 in the past eleven years.
 American hay in the period brought $11 ,OOO,- 000,0O0.
 Wheat brought than $10 800, ,00O, ,000, and produced total of $26 0O0 besides the value of the fodder. Even oats brought half much cotton. The growers of corn and wheat and oats and hay have become wealthy.
 The growers of cotton have received a scant living for the most priceless of crops. Why,
 Because they have been beggared driven dowD to poverty by the Onecrop speculative system under which they have operated.

 This council, like mo ,t of the councils, has made Irish language compulsory on' all candidates for office :rder the council. The councils have refused to send minutes .of their proceedings to the local government board, and will also refuse all informa-

 So far, the local govern ment board which used to De very prompt in dealil.g with the local bodies has turned a blind eye to the results of the new departure. But sooner or later a conflict be- tween the new powers and. the old is regarded as in- evitable.
