so insane as to call a strike
against the government and
people of the United States be.
cause of the moderate wage de-

Boaro seems incredible. For a
atrike, if ordered at this time,
would be against the govern
ment and people, and not against
the railroads, and would be re-
sented by those against whom
the strike was aimed.
The railroad employees have
agreed that the wage question
should be submitted to the Labor
Board. They have in the past
secured important advantages
through the decions of this board,

SUSPECT RELEASED IN
 BRIDGEPORT MYSTERY
Man Held in Murder Case Proves Satisfactory
 Alibi

Bridgeport, June 2o.-George Cof- ts, a roomer, who was taken into custody yesterday after the finding of the body of Mrs. Lillian Northrup on her bed in her apartments at 143S Main street was released by court order today. He had been held over night in the police station on the technical charge of breach of the peace.
 Coftis by six witnesses proved an aIibi. accounting for his movements all Sunday night, the witnesses vary ing only six minutes in making full accounting of Coftis' presence in var ious places. A nolle was entered on the charge.
 The police today were without clues in the case. The theory they advanc- ed was that Mrs. Northrup had a vis- itor at her apartments about 1 a. m. Monday that he was intoxicated, that he got into an argument with her. that a scuff1e followed during which he hit her over the face and threw her upon the bed The police say there was entire absence of any marks of handling of articles in the room and the man who hit Mrs Northrup probably was not there but a few minutes and left after the woman was thrown upo nthe bed by the blow. The theory of a caller and a dispute is based upon what the peo- pie upstairs heard and which they have related.

 Meanwhile the fate of 1S,000 in- habitants of Piedras Negras, Mexico, across the river from Eagle Pass, isolated since railroad and highway bridges were swept out Sunday night is causing grave concern. The city is surrounded by water and the food supply is thought to be short.

DEMOCRAT COMMITTEE
 CALLED FOR MEETING
Election of Chairman May Be Taken Up Thursday
 Evening

Attorney David l.. Dunn, chairman of the democrat town com rnittee, will call meeting of that group for Thursday evening of this week, pro- vided that day is satisfactory to the members. At that time the much discussed election of a chairman for the ensuing year will be taken up.
 An anti-administration group within the town committee claims to have seven of the 12 votes pledged for the election of new chairman to dis place MT. Dunn. They have asserted that the present chairman, knowing that he will not be reelected has de- clined to call meeting, fearing a serious embarrassment to the adminis- tration. According to their canvass of the committees membership, either Philip Smith or John J. Kiniry will be the new chairman without a question of doubt they say.
 For the first time since the demo- crat internal disorders became pub lie, Chairman Dunn commented upon the disagreements this morning He that up to yesterday after noon. he had not been approached by a single member of the committee with a request for a meeting On numerous occasions, both before and after the municipal election, he asked to be relieved of the duties of chair man of the town committee, but was prevailed upon to continue tempor- lrily, according to prominent demo- ,rats. Hence, no inference that ne wished to be continued in office could be drawn from his action n not calling meeting of his own lccord. his supporters say.
 Although the so-called 'insurgents" ,laim to have seven votes lined up, here are many democrats of the opinion that Thursday nights meet ng will offer the chairmanship to At- orney Dunn should he see fit to lccept.
