RAIL MEN REFUSE
To END BIG STRIKE
NO ACTION TAKEN BY MASS
MEETING CALLED BY JOHN
GRUNAU IN CHICAGO
THREATENED With ARREST
Men Say That They Prefer Going to
Prison Than Back to Work Until
They Have Promise of Fulfil
ment of Their Demands

Chicago, April 24.-Several thousand
striking railroad workers at a mass
meeting held yesterday refused to take
action to end the unauthorized walk
out, now in its fourth week, in the
Chicago terminal district
The meeting, called by John Grunau,
president of the outlaw Chicago
Yardmen's association, and Harold
| Reading, head of the United Engine
mems association, "to clear up the
entire situation" adjourned 45 min
utes after being convened with no
progress made toward settling the diff
| ficulties.
Representatives of the Railroad Cen
eral Managers association and of the
government were asked to attend. but
ignored the invitation. the general
managers announcing that they would
enter into no negotiations with the in
surgents.
Grunau, who was released from iaiI
at Joliet, H., last Wednesday, was
greeted with a roar of applause as he
stepped on the platform. An Ameri-
can flag was produced and draped
around his neck. He left it there as
he spoke.
81 called this meeting to help
straighten out this tangle," Grunau
said. 'Nye would not be good citizens
if we refused to take every step pos
Sible to end the strike
81 am a loyal American citizen and
so are all of you. We have not vio-
lated the law; we do not want to vio-
late the law and we will not violate
the law. We have conducted this strike
in an orderly manner and we will per-
nit no violence of any kind.
at is up to you men to decide when
this strike is to end. You are the |
ton"
Grunau asked if representatives of |
the General Managers association, the |
government or Judge X. M. Lands, |
who had been invited to represent |
the public, were present, but there was
no response.
Ben Dolan, representative of the
United Enginemen, followed Grunau.
eff we can return without loss of
dignity, without loss of our seniority
rights, and if our organization is rec
Ognized by the railroads and our sal
airy demands are granted we will go
back to work at once" he said.
The railroads announced yesterday
that conditions in the Chicago district
we're SO per cent of normal.

 MUShERS LEAVE FOR NENANA

l Victor Jacobson. better known as
 "Scurvey R,d." and Ole Jacobson, de-
 parted for the Yukon section Thurs day morning enroute to Nenana the terminal of the government. railroad on the Panama.
 A distinguishing feature of the ex- pedition was the use of form of trail device new tO this seeton, although said to be in common use on the upper Yukon. It consists of small tobog- gan hitched between the dog team and sled of the ordinary type. One man stands on the toboggan, directs the dogs and also guides the second
 sled by means of gee pole. Owing to its small size, the tob oggan is easily handled and serves as q most effective
 guide to the larger sled. Also it saves q lot of the hard work of walking as
 sociated with the use of .he gee pole. especially where the snow is soft. According to Scurvey's partner, who has had experience with the device, says the toboggan system is an i'm mense improvement and enables .he driver to maintain far better control over his baggage sled than is possible by the handle bar meth1d of control Sloping trails and hillside travelling hold no difficulties when the tohoCsM
 scheme is used he said, and much of the difficulties of soft snow are over come as the toboggan is always smoothing the .r"il for the load on the large sled behind. -

ICE FAST ALONG COAST

The ice pack has now closed in the Nome coast and is apparently firmly As far as could be seen from shore there was no movement of the pack during the past week and it is ap- tHirently here to stay until spring unless unusual weather conditions dis turb its tenure. Natives who have been out hunting the much prized 'Niksuk". say the ice is solid for miles out. Seals are also reported plen- tiful by the hunters.

CABLE INTERRUPTION CONTINUES

The Sitka- Valdez cable is still out ports are being routed via the Sitka wireless. The breakdown has created considerable congestion and messages are somewhat belated, as indicated by the fact that up to D. m. today no press matter of today's date had been received. Such messages as came in were all of December 3. According t. Thursdays reports, the cable ship left Seattle Wednesday to make repairs to the cable and the interruption will probably be overcome by Monday.

BIG STRIKE MADE
 ON STEWART RIVER

A quartz strike of considerable ma gnitude has been made in the Ste wart River section and is attracting great interest in Dawson and along the Upper Yukon, with every pros- pect of a big stampede developing in the Spring, according to letter from Jas. A. York. former Nome resi- dent. received on the first winter mail by Al Nicholson. proprietor of the Board of Trade.
 A camp known as Mayo. has been established and claims are already held tat figures running into the hundreds of thousands. The Guggenheim' s have already secured large interests land are contempla ting spending q half million in development work on claims recently purchased. The Tread well Company and other big concerns are also said to be seeking options York asSerts the ores are exceptionally rich and it is believed at Dawson that the new camp will have population of twenty thousand within twelve months. He says:
 Everybody here is delighted with the prospects at Mayo, the new camp on the Stewart River. and all are pre- pairing to go there in .he Spring or before. The Yukon Gold Co. (the Gugsenheim's) have recently bought five claims for s65o.ooo and expect .o expend s5oo,ooo during the coming winter in improvement and in, elop. ment work.
 "The Treadweel people and other companies also have agents in tie field trying 10 obtain options An op- tion was given two days ago for $s25.ooo upon two recently discovered ledses.

 ''Mr Frank Short, whom I met in Nome five yeaAs ago and who was formerly of the Broken Hill Mines Company of Australia, is the superin- tendant of the Yukon Gold Co at Mayo and he believes that the future of the camp is better than was that of Cobalt. Ontario"

TRACTOR AND DOG TEAM
 RIVALS FOR HoNoRS
 1UcklNo SNOW DRIFTS

For the first time in the history of mail transportation in the far north a caterpillar tractor will augment dog teams in transportation of mail. Tie plans to use the big Holt tractor 70 break trail next winter for the dog teams conveying mail from the end of steel, over d distance of some ninety miles to connec. with the Fairbanks end of the government railroad and for distribution throughout thei nter- tor of Alaska.
 The matter of handling ahe maal via Anchorage instead of via Cordova as was the case last win.e". Is cat sing much speculation among veterans of the trail. Experienced deg team men maintain that it will require approx tlnately 100 dogs working in teams of fifteen dogs each to convey the 2.400 pounds of mail over the trail trf-weels- 1y- and many are of the opinion that even with this number there will he plenty of work for the mushers to keep the trail open and delivering the mail as per schedule.
 It was announced by William Gcrig, assistant chief engineer of the com mission, that in addition to the dogs the commission will put the big Holt caterpillar on the trail to keep it open and thus insure the mail getting thru when the trail conditions make going heavy for the dogs. The tractor climbs the snowdrifts and smashes a way through where horse and dog would be helpless. .-Anchorage Times
