Switchmen's Union, depends the call
ing out of all railroad machinists in
the northwest. The letter is expect
ed to arrive this afternoon.
The machinists were on the vergo
of striking yesterday ' when they
learned that the switchmen's Wash
ington strike negotiations had been
called off. In fact, twenty or more
local unions had previously voted to
walk out and were only awaiting an
order from Chairman Van Lear who
Is at present jit Washington.
On account or a message received
by Van Lear from Perham asking
that action be deferred the machin

their employment. Van Lear, how
ever, has notified the machinists at
Livingston, Mont., nnd Everett, Wa.,
, to remain alert and await the final
strike order which will come direct
from Minneapolis.

PRESIDENT TAFT ACTS
Friends of Clifford lMuclmt Are Not

(imlelul.
(Special Jo The Evening Nows)
Washington, I). C, Jan. S. Gif
ford Pinchot, who was dismissed
from the office of chief forester
last evening, is today cleaning out
his desk while his friends are pel
ishing the trusty hammers. The im
pression prevails everywhere that a
big fight is now on and everyone at
the capital !s wondering what Roose
velt will say in regard to the dismis
sal of Pinchot. Only two of the fa
mous Koosoveltfan "Tennis Cabinet"
remain in office. These are Law
rence O. Murray, comptroller of tho
currency and Herbert Knox Smith
retains his position ns commissioner
iff corporations. After tho official
axe had been whetted fori six hours
at the cabinet meeting the head of
Pinchot, Associate Forester Price
and Assistant Law Officer Shaw, of
tho Forestry bureau, was whacked
off with one single blow. 1
Xot Surprised at Result,
Plnchot's friends say they are not
Mirprised at the president's action
and assert that the letter written to
Senator could no have resulted oth
erwise. The affair is looked on here
as a practical defiance of Plnchot's
contention throughout the contro
versy in which he has held up the
Roosevelt policy and lhat Secretary
Ballliiger opposed it. With the fight
having gone to such extremes it is
now considered practically certain
that Pinchot ond his Adherents will
continue the attack. Some of the
more conservative members of the
administration party are wondering
just how effective will be tho cry of
martyr to the Roosevelt policies.
Pinchot, Price and Shaw will all
appear before the investigating com
mittee as private citizens, having
been suddenly relieved of any re
strictions of an official character, to
urge on the probers in the interior
department.
It has been suggested today that
Gifford Pinchot, former chief for
ester, who was last evening removed
from office Bhould appear as prose
cutor in the investigation to he con
ducted by congress Into the affairs
of Secretary Ballinger. It Is also
rumored that Former Interior Sec
retary Garfield, one of the strong
est Roosevelt adherents, and Fran
cis J. Heney, the western graft pros
ecutor, will be present at the investi
gation. It Is stated that Garfield
might appear to aid Pinchot and that
Heney be counsel for L. H. Glavls,
who brought the charges against
Ballinger.
Acting Forester.
Pending the arrival of Assistant
Potter from Ogden Secretary Wil
son has appointed Geo. T. McCabe,
solicitor of the department of seri
culture, as acting forester. Mcf'abe
was received cordially by Mr Pin
chot with the statement by the lat
ter that ho was ready to turn over
the office to him immediately.
Washington, Jan. 8. Gifford
Pinchot, chief forester and Intimate
friend of Theodore Roosevelt was
dismissed tonight from he service
of the United States by President
Taft for insubordination. Associate
Forester Overton W. Price nnd As
sistant Law Officer Alexander C.
Shaw, Plnchot's Immediate assist
ants in the forestry bureau, followed
their chief out of government em
ploy. Thoroughly Indignant over the ac
tion of Mr. Pinchot in Indluclng
Senator Dolliver to read a loiter
from him In the senate yesterday,
President todny would Hi ten to no
advlc? that the forester's violation
of executive orders be overlooked
pending tho Inquiry soon to be un
detraken hv congress.
Offirlnl Dignity .Allied.
He declared the dignity of the
presidential office was bf-lng attack
ed and he would be unfaithful to his
trust. If he submitted longer.
Mr. Taft undoubtedly rallzns ful
ly what the dismissal of Forester
Pinchot means In a political way. He
has been convinced for iome time
that the so-called ''Insurgents" and
other critics of his adn. Inlstration
had enlisted the services ol Mr. Pin
chot and practically were defying
him to llsmlss Pinchot from office.
The latter's letter of yesterduy few
here doubt, was written with the di
rect purpose of "putting ft squarely
up to the president "
Potiticitl Situation Tense.
The president Bought to avoid th1
thYeatened war as long an he could
, but declared today that patience
had ceased to be a virtue. He pick
ed up the gauge of battle thrown
down by Mr. Pinchot through the
hand of Senator Dolliver In the sen
ate, and, with the administration
supporters, is ready for the coming
frny.
Political observers In Washington
declare that the situation created by
today's developments Is the most
tense in many years. With the out
come will be no one ts wilting to
prophesy. In the House of Repre
sentatives today Speaker Cannon lost
his first fight to the insurgents, who,
combining with the Democrats, caus
ed to be adopted an amendment to
the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry resolu
tion so as to take from tho speaker
tho power to appoint the House
members of the Joint committee of
special Investigation.
InMirgeiits" Are Cilcoful,
The margin of victory was narrow
three votes but the Insurgents
and Democrats alike are jubilant to
night. The dismissal of Pinchot has
lent fuel to the flames of their cele
brat ion and they are venturing all
manner of predictions ns to what
will happen.
Three Republicans, not classed as
"Insurgents." but Mho profess their
friendship for Pinchot, voted with
the "insurgents" nnd Democrats for
the adoption of the amendment
which calls for tho appointment of
the house Investigators by election
from the floor. ,
The c ibinet was In special session
practically the entire afternoon, fol
lowing tho regulnr session of the
morning. Secretary Ballinger, cog
nizant of tho action that was about
to he taken, remained away from
the afternoon session. It was at the
end of the special session tonight
that the president gave out tho letter
he had written to Mr. Pinchot noti
fying him that his usefulness as a
public servant under tho present ad
ministration was at an end.
W ilson Chief AeeiiHer.
' Secretnry of Agricu'turo Wilson,
Pinchot immediate superior, it ap
pears, was one of tho forester's chief
accusers. He told President Taft
that he advised Mr. Pinchot not to
send tho letter to Senator Dolliver:
that Pinchot had told him he had
such a letter In mind, and "could In
duce Senator Dolliver" to rend It
on the day that President Taft's
special message transmitting the at
torney general's exoneration of Sec
retary Ballinger was to be presented
to the sennto.
It wa this story of Mr. Plnchot's
anparently . calculated Insubordina
tion that raised the president to the
keenest resentment.
Mr. Taft accuses Pinchot of hav
ing takn his stand against Secre
tary Ballinger wholly upon the evi
dence adduced by Mr. lilavls and
without regard for the evidence on
the other side, on file in tho Interior
department. ,
Tjetter Seen by Cabinet.
The letter directing Secretary Wil
son to dismiss the forester forthwith
was carefully framed in the after
noon sitting of the cabinet nnd was
revised several times before finally
being made public. It Is the presi
dent's own statement of the case.
Mr. Pinchot received tonight the
.letter of the president and Secretary
Wilson's peremptory note of dlsmfs
sal; but nothing about his demeanor
Indicated that he was surprised or
distressed bv either. To an ncconv !
rani men t of sounds of merriment
floating down from above stairs,
where there was a party of guests,
Mr. Pinchot came down to meet the
reporters. In evening dress and silk
hat In hatd, smiling and undismayed.
Piiiehot Will Not .Talk.
Asked if he would say anything
for publication he replied:
"It will suit me just as well If
you wilt make for me just thnt sim
ple statement: 'I have nothing to
say,' "
Mr. Pinchot added that he would
probably say nothing tomorrow, but
he would not say how long he would
maintain his silence.
The dismissal of the ptlnclpal of
ficer of the forestry service will In
no no way delny or divert the con
gressional Investigation. One of the
subjects debated tonight was the
question whether tho dismissal will
rob tho Investigation of much of its
public interest, or will make it more
sensational than before. Friends of
the administration hold to the for
mer view, nnd today urged It upon
the president and cabinet officers ns
an argumennt against the summary
dismissal.
Friends of Pinchot, op, tho other
hand, hnve for two weeks been de
claring that tho president "would
not dare to dismiss Pinchot;" thnt. It
"would cause a breach between Taft
and Roosevelt," nnd that. It would
cause a split In the Republican par
ty ns has not been seen in years
Friends of the president said to
night, however, -lint the actual dis
missal of Pinchot could add nothing
to the embarrassment of the admin
istration. In Ihe face of a party split all Re
publicans here reeard the situation
as exceedingly serious.
