OF New Jersey. Erie. New York Central
and New York. Ontario & Western.
Mr.. Rine OF the Lackawanna. chair
man OF the meeting, said at its close
that the figures given out by the labor
leaders regarding the number OF men
on strike were grossly exaggerated.
The estimate given last night by ]. j.
Dowd. international vice-presiderL of
the Brotherhood OF Boilermakers. was
that 10000 shop men were on strike In
the New York district. In addition TO
this number II was said at union head
quarters that 400 maintenance OF way
men on the Jersey Central and 800 or the
Erie were to strike at midnight and
that Il. +. Cradle. head of the rain
tenance of way mems organizaticr in
Chicago. was being inundated with tele-
grams requesting him to call out those
men in support Of the shop men.
Mr.. Rine after the managers meeting.
said that the new men employed to re-
place the strikers will have permanent
jobs.
I'VE are not hiring strikebreakers,"
he added I'VE intend to keep ALI the
men we take on now II they can do the
work. We are through with the strik-
ers."
w. J. Fripp OF the New York Central
and j. H. Nuelle of the New York. On
tario & Western agreed with Mr.. Rine
that there would be no interruption OF
traffic.
Resolutions urging Mayor Hylan to
insist that none but experienced inspec-
tors be allowed TO inspect cars OF the
Long Island Railroad were adopted last
night at a meeting of striking railroad
workers in the Roosevelt Republican
Club. Richmond Hill. The charge was
made that former window cleaners are
now inspecting the cars. A committee
was appointed to wait on the Mayor
between now and Wednesday and ask
that he take action Ito protect the
public"
"Ontlawing'' the Gnfted states.
Besides Chairman Dowd of the heller
makers the other labor leaders in Charge
of the strike in the New York district
who met at the Continental were NJ. j.

machinists, Fred C. Bolam of the black
smiths James G. Sause of the boiler;nak-

sued after the meeting they sad:
Tomorrow will be the anniversary
of the Declaration of independence The
day will be celebrated by the men on
strike as their declaration of inderend-
ence from the persecution of the rail-
road companies with the silent consent
and assistance of the chairman of the
United States Railroad Labor Boarl."
The preceding part of the statement
said:
The resolution passed this morning
by the United States Railroad Labor
Board will have no effect upon the NOR
ale of the men on strike.
The shopmen have realized for the
past year that they were against game
that gave them no chance for a square
deal from the Railroad Labor Board.

year allowed railroad companies to

lection of employees without outlawing

lion more will be spent by the com
pany in this coming year.
n The proposed Mcxieali.San Felipe
railroad iine viii run through the cen
ter of the delt. lands which are TO be
opened up, and will supply an outlet
for the products raised on these lands
Ocean going boats will make San
Felipe a regular port Of call, according
co present plans, and any necessary
channels which may have to be drcdged
in the gulf will be made and main
tanned.
San Felipe is an interesting port, and
is praised by all who have ever visited
this gulf city, as q future summer ana
winter resort second to none known
resort cities, and thousands of tourists
will pass through Calexico each year
bound for this point, where they may
revel in pastimes of almost every de
scription, sea bathing, rest bousGs,
fight arenas, bull fighting, dancing
pavilions, boating, fishing and host
of other attractions which will follow
as "a matter of course, onAthc heels OF
the building of the new railroad line
MI. Clark Responsible
The fact that this new line is TO be
built is due entirely to the indcfatIs'
able efforts put forth by Mr.. Clark, of
the Colorado River Land Company, and
the able and forceful secOnding of these
efforts by Governor Lugo, the enter
prising and progressive ruler OF thI
Northern District, who has given OF
his time and influence gladly ana will
a. r,,,tLnr;po, fbn nroipct and
has used every resource Mt his com
mand in securing necessary permits
authorizations and concessions.
In fact, Governor Lugo had forcibly
and cmphatically statedson several oc
casions that, if this road was not bulll
hv the Southern Pacific, that he ano
| his own associates would build 1t, real
izinp the inestimablc benefits and ad
vantapes which would accrue to the
| district of which he is the head.
Whether or not the building of thi
| new rail line will affect the plans o
the building of the proposed barge can
al. which was announced n year az
as one of the Improvement plans fo
the Northern District, is not kncwn
The canal may he built, and if the nec'
arises, will be built, but it is though
| that the new railway line will provid
| the outlet required, and that the har5
| canal proposition will be held in abcy
ancc for some time to come. However
no official statement as to this is mad
at this time.
Altogether, the building of the Mc'
icali San Felipe railway line is goin
to open up wonderful possibilities fc
growth of the CalcXico MeXican So
ton and intermediate territory, an
will benefit the entire Imperial Vale
in many ways.

MEXICALI TO GET
$750,O00 PLANT
COTTON OIL Mill
Oil By-Product Factories;
South American Trade;
Worlds Biggest Mill

CALEXICO, Oct. 2l.-An oil mill,
with manufacturing auxiliarles, IS TO
be built in Mexicali, at cost OF more
than three quarters of a million dol
lars. Work on this project has already
been started. and a large crew OF men,
together with necessary teams. Is lay
out and leveling up the necessary area
at the east end of Mexicali, i'll pre-
paration for building operations.
Well known capitalists Of unlimited
resources are behind this project,
which covers not only the production
of cotton seed oil, but the use of the
oils in the manufacture of soaps, soap
Ipowders and other by-products, one OF
| tbe auxiliaries to be built being for
/ The manufacture of soap, another for
the making of soap powders, another
for oil cake and stock foods. Thous-
opds of cattle are to be fed and fat
tened on the hulls and oil meals at
! Mexicali. making this an important
stock and beefraising center.
! The mills will be equipped with the
lmost modern of machinery procurable,
and contracts have been made for the
installation | of newly perfected mill
units invented by a German mechanic.
Units of this invention cannot be
lerccted and installed in the United
States, but the new oil mills at Mex
icali are not handicapped by this, as
there is no tax against the importation
of such machinery from Germany,
while in! the United States the tax
against importation is 200 per cent
1t has been demonstrated that this
perfected mill will produce at least 20
lper cent more product from the bulk
passing through the stamps, and of a
much better grade than has been pos
siblc in the past.
