PUT WAGE DISPUTE
UP TO PRESIDENT
Railway Employees on West
ern Roads Expect Coolidge to
Expedite Settlement.

By the Associated Drcts.
CHICAGO, September 19.-Repre-
sentatives of IS Western railroads and
10000 trainmen and conductors now
look to President Coolidge to expedite
O settlement of wage differences be-
tween them.
The Federal Board of Mediation,
which has been attempting to recon-
Gle opposing demands OF the unions
and railway officials for the past week,
announced yesterday that no ADJUST
mens of wsCes and the working rule
had been reached.
No definite official action can be
taken for two months. officials eX.
planned. although the trainmen' and
strike. If President Coolidge should
intervene and appoint a fact-finding
commission, under the railway labor
act, the special board would have 80
DAYS to investigate and report.
Present Situation Outlined.
If such a report were made, the
unions would be compelled to wait an
other 80 days before acting. II the
President should decide to refrain from
taking a hand. the unions might act at
once. Increased wage demands varying
from 10 to Is per cent were made by
the unions. while the roads we're willing
to allow increases of 71a per cent On
the working rule, which the railroads
have sought to eliminate, the unions
have refused to arbitrate, claiming that
its elimination would mean a Is per
cent reduction in salaries.
Explains Failure to Agree.
]. w. Higgins, who represented the
Western carriers, explained the failure
to arbitrate as follows:
THE public should understand that
the failure to settle the controversy be-
tween the Western railways and their
conductors and trainmen has been en-
tirely due to the rejection by the labor
organizations of the two different pro-
posals of arbitration.
"One of these proposals was made by
the conference committee OF managers
representing the railways. The other
was drawn up by the United States
Board of Mediation, and was accepted
rs a fair basis of settlement by the
presidents of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors and the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, but was repudiated by
the general committees of these Or
Plantations"
The unwillingness of the unions
general committees to accept the
Boards proposition was described by Mr..
Higgins as "a refusal to accept any fair
proposition involving arbitration"
Views of Conductors.
e. p. Curtis, representing the con-
ductors, explained the arbitration fall
ure, saying:
1--WE have refused to arbitrate the
elimination of the double header rule
in its entirety because it has been in
effect for q years and is settled con-
dition of employment, as much so as
collective bargaining and the eight
hour day"
Railroads have no need for two loco
motives on a single train, Mr.. Curtis
declared, explaining that they have
ample equipment to move more tonnage
than they now carry.

Two Stories Murmured by

WAUKEGAN, Ill, Nov. 10
Whether Miss Elfrieda Knaak, pref
ty Deerfield, H., Sunday school
teacher, burned herself to purify a
spiritual love" or whether she was
victim of a fire fiend, was the
question that confronted coroner's
jury today as the inquest into her
death opened here.
Miss Knaak died three days after
she was found in the basement OF
the Lake Bluff, Ill, police station,
her legs, arms and head burned to
the bone.
In alternating periods of calm
and delerium, she murmured two
stories of the ordeal in the furnace
room.
II did it myself to prove my love
for Hitchy," was her first coherent
statement. "Hitchy' was identified
as Charles Hitchcock, village po-

He denied any love affair with the
girl and said a fractured leg had
kept him at home the night of the
crime. "a lucky break" he called
the injured leg.

PRAYING COP

Town Board Gusts Marshal

Strife.
RB Times Special

BIZ Times Special
EDINBURG. Ind, Nov. 10.-Wil-
liam e. Milburn, Church of God
minister, is no longer marshal of
Edinburg. The town board has
ousted him after ten months Of
strife resulting from his zeal in po-
lice work. George Snyder has been
appointed the minister's successor.
Neither Snyder nor Milburn were
present at the meeting Of the board
when the change was made. Mil
burn has turned over equipment of
his Office to his successor, and it is
said will make no further fight
against being relieved of his duties.
Previously he had announced he
would hold the Office until his resi-
dence was sold for $1,400, but this
has not been done, although offers
below that figure have been made.
Putting five bullets through the
fender of an auto driven by George
Myers, a Franklin college student,
was the act which constituted the
"last straw" for Milburn. A few
months ago his deputy, James
Glass, shot and killed Earl jack
son. 1t is said by some citizens that
the tragedy was indirectly due to
an alleged shoot to kill" order given
Glass by Milburn.

PRINCETON, Ind, Nov. TO-
Walker France, state highway po-

wounds which he says were inflicted
when several men armed with clubs
attacked him, near Titles, Pike

France belives the attack is a
sequel to efforts to start operations
at a coal mine at Littles, which
brought attacks upon William john

ager respectively. Later the tipple
of the mine was burned.

Following the fire, the state fire

sented by some residents of Littles.
