UNIONS DRAFT
STRIKE BALLOT
Five Big Labor Organizations Hold
Conference at Cleveland-RO Road
Referendum for RAD Men.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 24.-The
chief executives of the five big rail-
road transportation labor organiza-
tions resumed their conference here
this morning with members of their
executive committees and assistant
grand officers, in an effort to COM
plete the draft of a strike ballot to
be presented to the 100000 active
members throughout the country.
The ballot will probably be mailed
early next week for referendum
vote.
Decision to draft the strike bal
lot resulted from unsatisfactory ne
gotiations held in the past few
months between brotherhood chiefs
and railroad managers following
the recent 1919 per cent cut in rail
wages by the United States labor
board. At these conferences, held
in the west, southwest and east, the
heads of the Brotherhoods of Loco
motive Engineers, Brotherhood of
Firemen and Enginepen, Order of
Railway Conductors, Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen and the
Union of North Amer
ica sought to place the railroad
of the country on
record against more cuts in wages
and changed working conditions.

TAHITI GIRLS
HAVE NO USE FOR
AMERICAN FADS

San Francisco, Calf, Aug. "a
Omitted Press. .)-'Twould be well
to consider the young ladies of Ia
hiti.
On that sunny South Sea isle
they speak French and play pi-
amos and have other American hab-
its.
But they smoke not; neither do
they toddle or roll down their hos
iery. That was the word brought
here today by the Princess Ina Sal
mon. aged q, graduate of ST Cath
crimes college, St. Paul, and herself
a princess of Tahiti. She is here
from Tahiti to visit relatives.
The princess doesn't care for the
latest American feminine fads and
says the Tahiti girls agree with
her
But she wears beautiful big rings
In her ears.

STERLING PAYS
STATE BIG SUM
FOR INTEREST
Money Paid Treasur.
er Provokes Dis
CuSSLOT.

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 24.-Lieu-
tenant Governor Fred E. Sterling,
who yesterday made his final pay
ment of interest earnings to State
Treasurer Miller, arrived in Spring
field today. He went to a hotel, hal
breakfast and declined to discuss
either the payment or the embez-
Element and conspiracy charges
pending against him, Governor
Small and Vernon Curtis, Grant
Park banker.
Lieutenant Governor Fred Ster-
ling's action yesterday in turning
over to the state treasurer $391,-
3S6.2S interest earnings on state
money while he was state treasur-
er, today provoked much discussion
at the capital.
There was much speculation in
particular on the effect this final
accounting would have on the cases
now pending against Sterling. Gov
ernOr Len Small and Vernon Curtis,
Grant Park, Ill, banker, indicted on
charges of attempting to defraud the
state of interest money on state
funds.
Sterling's friends asserted that
the accounting had no connection
with the indictments and pointed 20
a letter submitted with the check
for the money in which attention
was called to an earlier letter to the
state treasurer, when Sterling turn
ed over his affairs to his successor
in that office, in which he said that
when all intsfest collections Wsse
made and proper Deductions for
terests due the federal government
were made, he would render final
accounting. Mr.. Sterling in his let
ter states that this is the final ac
counting with the exception of an
item of $4,000 deposited with the
Union State Bank of Dixon, ILL.,, for
which he holds collateral. This
bank, he says, is in a receivers
hands, but he expects a settlement
soon Ii the settlement is not
made, Mr.. Sterling offers to make
good the amount of the deposit.
With the deposit yesterday, the
interest collections turned into the
state treasury by Mr.. Sterling for
his two year term as state treasurer
total 1896, 6,121.S5.
