 ,ided by it for consideration of
 our grievances"
 Chicago. April Id. The first impor- tant break in the ranks of ,insurgent railroad employees in the Chicago ter minal district came today when rail road officers announced that groups of strikers on the Pennsylvania, the Soo line and the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific had decided to return to work.
 Edward Corrigan, vice president of the brotherhood of locomotive fire men and enginemen, sad enginemen on a number of roads had voted to go back to work and would report for duty tomorrow or Friday.
 The first break was reported among hremen on the Pennsylvania, who voted to return if the road did not cancel their seniority rights. Lat CT, Rock Island switchmen sent q delegation to confer with road offi- cers. Some of the men returned to- day and the others planned to report tomorrow. Rock Island officers said strikers at Fl Reno, Okla, Ft. Worth, Texas, and Chickasha, Okla, also had returned.
 While insurgent leaders continued to claim that the strike was growing in strength the general managers association said more freight was moved in Chicago today than on any day since the strike started.
 The Chicago Yardmen's association today denied reports that 1. w. w. leaders were behind the switchmen' s strike and declared that John Cru nau, head of the outlaw organizations had not been deposed.
 "Our conduct during the last four teen days will speak for itself" a ings have been open and have been attended by department of justice men who would have arrested any one who showed I. W. w. tenden- cies."
 Reports from central and far western states indicated continued improvement in the strike situation. Railroad workers returned at several points and embargoes were lifted by railroads.
 New Orleans, April 14-Trains were running on schedule and vir- tually normal conditions were re- ported in the yards of the Illinois Central railroad here today while a special federal grand jury, summon ed hostily by United States Dis trict Judge Rufus Foster, began an investigation of the strike yesterday of 100 "insurgent" union men, eight of whose leaders were arrested last night and one today by government agents.

Unknowns have a funny war n,

Bob Martin, the heavyweight
champion of the allied armies
picked Ray Smith as a velvet step
on his way to the top and he saw
his castles tumble in the sand.
To O'Dowd's credit it must b.
said that he had to take on the
easy marks. as his division was
practically barren of good known
quantities.
The result OF the fight was A
great surprise. Since his dis.
charge from the army the St. Paul
boy had been putting most of his
opponents to sleep and had begun
to convince some of the critics
who accused him Of being bust"
that he was a real champion.
Be it also said to his credit that
when the call came for the biggest
/ fight of all O'Dowd did not don the
uniform of a boxing instructor, nor
did he dash to the shipyards. He
went to the trenches. He was one
fighter of whom the real fans have
