Chiefs Admit Unions VIII
Ignore Orders Uuless De-
mands Are Settled
BOARD RETURNS HOME
Chairman Barton Is Expected tc
Make Statement On the Situation
Shortly.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-"Big Five"
brotherhood chiefs told the United
States Railroad Board last night
that nothing but satisfactory set
tlement" can stop the threatened
strike from being cIamped on the
railroads starting at 6 o'clock Sun
day morning.
Further sessions of the labor
board meeting with railroad execu
tives and heads of the railroad
brotherhoods were called off at $3.50
o'clock tonight, when adjournment
was announced. The railroad ey-
cutives Immediately began return
ing to their homes, while brother
hood chiefs announced that they
would meet tomorrow with the
general chairman. Chairman Bar
ton of the labor board announced
that settlement would be made
public probably tomorrow.
In reply to four categorical ques-
tons from r. NJ. Barton, chairman
of the board, each of the five union
chiefs declared their opinion that,
if the board issued an order de-
claring the strike unjustified and
directing that it should not occur,
the men would not respect the or
der. They said if the board issued
such an order they would not use
their power to get compliance from
the men.
They declared that, supposing
they or the executive committees
of the brothcrhoods issued an order
calling off the strike, unless set
tlement had been effected, the men
would ignore their orders. Moth
ing but satisfactory settlement"
they avowed, can avert walk out.
The questions by Judge Barton
brought to q head Il day Of inquiry
directed to the question OF whether
the strike is against the July wage
cut and a violation Of board rul-
ing, and second, what differences
between men and carriers may be
underlying causes. 1t was held IN
the Coliseum annex, and it was at
tended by perhaps the most notable
gathering Of railroad men ever as
sembLed in America.
At the end of the days sessions,
T. {. Cashen. head of the Switch
men. in a statement rcflecting the
sentiment Of other brotherhood
chiefs, said: Nothing transpired
at the days meetings to change
the situation, 50 far as settlement
is concerned"
Shortly before the afternoon ses.
sion closed W. l.. Menimen, Of the
labor group on the board, asked ".
S. Carter. of the tiremen. "are you
willing to talk it over with the rail
road executives
"Oh. man. replied Carter, IF
only they had talked when we met
them short time ago, I'm afraid
they've got to do some fast talking
now. If they had just talked, in
stead of telling US they had decided
to seek another 10 per cent wage
reduction. If you'll adjourn tonight
we can talk until 3 o'clock in the
morning"
AS to the next move, the board
tonight seemed undecided Opinion
of some of the members was that
efforts would be made to bring ex-
ecutives and the union chiefs to-
pether in session; others said they
did not think this would be done.
The general impression was that
the days meeting had accomplished
nothing

CHARGE OF SHEEP
THEFT FALLS down

Not guilty as charged, was the YER
dict rendered by Justice Roberts of
Golconda in the case of Clancy r..
Roelsma, accused by l.. Z. Vance, su-
perintendent of the Pacific Live Stock
Company, with felonious embezzle-
ment of sheep.
The difficulty arose over a misun-
derstanding In regard to ownership
of band of nine sheep which Roelsma
considered his own and which Vance
claimed belonged to the company.
Roel3ma for some time has been en-
ployed by the Pacific Live Stock Com
pany as foreman and his wife as cook.
During the lambing season last year,
on account of the cold and a bad sea-
SOM for sheep, many were dying, the
number lost being set at 5000. Mrs.
Roelsma began taking care of orphan
lambs which were secured by her hus-
band. Mrs. Roelsma told how she had
fed these orphan lambs three and
four times In the nights following ana
until they were old enough to take
care of themselves, and that If she
had not gone to this trouble they
would have died. Eight of these lambs
were picked up as strays.
The question arising before the
court was one of abandoned property
and as it was proved that there had
been no intention of theft on the part
merely following the custom of the
country in caring for these strays, the
case was dismissed.
Attorney Thos. e. Powell defended
Roelsma in court.
