Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen Call Strike of
3400 Switchmen at Chicago
CHICAGO, July 28. Freight traffic
In the Chicago switching district was
seriously hampered today by the strike
of switchmen affiliated with the Bro
therhood of Railroad Trainmen em
ployed on 19 railroads.
Tho dispute which lod to the walk
out of the switchmen at 6 o'clock this
morning over certain demands which
the rallronda declare are equivalent to
establishing a closed shop against all
switchmen not members of the bro
therhood. Members of the Switchmen's Union
of America, affiliated with the Amer
ican Federation, remained at work and
the railroads declared wore aiding In
tilling the places of the strikers.
The railroads gave great attention
to the moving of government suppllos
and the progress of the strike was
closely watched by federal officials.
piHtrict Attorney Clyne said that
prompt action would be taken if gov
ernment supplies or army materials
were destroyed.
Federal mediation was a possibility,
Although Intervention was refused yea
terday.
The general managers' conference
committee representing all the rail
roads affected, bb soon as the strike
was called, declared an embargo on
all shipments of perishable goods and
livestock and notified shippers that
It would be In force until the strike Is
settled.
Although the strike technically is
local, It will have national scope to
the extent that it may delay traffic on
all transcontinental roads passing
through Chicago,
James Murdock, vice-president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, re
ceived ear'ly reports that the men had
quit work at the appointed time, He
said 3100 switchmen belonged to the
brotherhood In the Chicago district.
WASHINGTON, July 28. Commis
sioner Chambers, of the board of con
ciliation and mediation, was keeping
in close touch with the situation in
Chicago through Assistant Commis
sioner Hanger.
Government officials looked upon the
strike with some uneasiness, In view
of its probable effoct In delaying Im
portant war shipments.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1. Federal
mediation of differences over which
8500 employes of the Pacific division
of the Southern Pacific Co. threaten
to strike Saturday night was sug
gostud today In a letter sent by W. R
Scott, vice-president and general man
ager of the road, to members of the
co-operative board of the general com
mlttec of the four unions Involved.
Scott's letter waa aent In answer to
a communication from members of the
co-operative board. Thla latter docu
ment declared that "having exhausted
all resources to adjust amicably these
matters, without avail, the co-operative
board, representing men employed In
engine, train, yard and hostler ser
vice, does hereby give notice that the
men It represents will withdraw from
the service In a body and go on strike
as authorized by tneir vote on the
question at Issue at 6 p. m. Saturday
unless the committee's contentions
are granted before that time."
Differences between the company
and employes, according to the cor
respondence, grew out of settlement of
grievances of various employes against
the company. The decisions of rail
road officials in 36 of the engineers
and firemen's cases were accepted by
the union and 82 were rejected.
One decision in conductors' cases
was accepted and ten rejected. Union
officials wrote that In practially every
case listed as rejected the decisions
were repetitions of former unsatisfac
tory replies and were contrary to un
derstandings reached between the two
parties In recent conferences. Mr.
Scott's reply to this document called
upon the patriotism of the men and
pointed oat the war time Importance
of railroad transportation at present
The present is not the time In which
to enforce demands by strike," It read.
"Patriotism should be the dominant
Idea In the minds of every living man
In this country at this time. We are
daily moving large amounts 67 freight
and men for the government. The
company desires to be more than fair
with Its employes and has no desire
or inclination to withhold from them
any compensation or emolument cov
ered by a liberal Interpretation of their
schedules. Hope you will realize that
an amicable avoidance of thla strike
Is a patriotic duty."
Mr. Scott proposed that points In
difference be mediated by the govern
ment under the Newlands act, or be
left to a board of five members, two
to be labor organizations and a fifth
to be selected by these four. If they
are unable to agree the fifth member
is to be appointed by the federal Judge
of this district.
The Btrlke, If called, will effect en
gineers, firemen, conductors and brake
men on the Southern Pacific lines from
El Paso, Tex., to Portland, Or., and on
the Central Pacific line from San Fran
clsco to Ogden, Utah, Negotiations
for the men are being conducted by
M. E. Montgomery, assistant grand
chief, and I L. Sanford, general chair
man of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers; A. Phillips, vice-president,
and O. W. Karn, general chairman of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Englnemen; T. A. Gregg,
vice-president, and S. Veatch, general
chairman of the Order of Railway Con
ductors, and R. Mclntyre, vice-president,
and F. L. McDowell, general
chairman of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen.
At a late hour tonight Mr. Scott had
received no reply to his suggestion of
federal mediation.

In the complaint the railway com
pany alleges that It has made numer
ous attempts to settle upon a fair and
Just price for the property but that no
agreement could be reached. The com
pany asks that a jury assess the prop
erty and settle upon a price.
G. F. Johnson, whose resignation as
secretary of the publicity department
of the Commercial club became effect
ive Wednesday, haB been succeeded by
S. Bowman, who has done considerable
promotion work In connection with the
local business men during the last
year. Mr. Bowman has recently been
working with the merchants and mill
owners to bring to Oregon City August
9 about 700 buyers from all over the
Pacific northwest, and elaborate plans
were being made for their reception
and entertainment.
They will bo brought here on the af
ternoon of next Thursday on two char
tered steamers from Portland and will
be shown through the mills of the
Crown Willamette Paper compnay,
Hawloy Pulp & Paper company and
the Oregon Manufacturing company

will be taken to McLoughlin Park and
a box luncheon will be served. . ThlB
will be the largest organized body ever
entertained in Oregon City.
frankly admit that they are puzzled,
and so far have no clew which might
lead to the discovery of the men.
The proprietress of the rooming
house from which the victim was tak
en was so paralyzed with fear that she
even failed to notice which direction
the men chose when they departed
with Little. She states that she could
not even recognize one of the men IX
she were to meet him again.
Members of the Metal Mine Work
ers' Union, la which Little has taken
an active part since bis arrival In this
city some three weeks ago, held a
meeting this afternoon for the avowed
purpose of discussing the situation.
Although some of the more radical
members advised immediate action for
vengeance and the spilling of blood,
conservatism prevailed, and the lead
ers advised the men to "keep their
mouths closed."
An Intensely bitter feeling Is prev
alent among the miners, several of
whom have made threats, one declar
ing that "we will get every member
of the lynching party and ten men for
every one of ns taken."
The chief of police has ordered ev
ery available detective to make an ef
fort to apprehend the vigilantes in
compliance with Mayor W. H. Malon
ey'a request ' ' ' "
Three hundred members of the state
militia stationed here are In a state
of preparation, ready for any possi
ble emergency, while more came into
Butte today.
The lynching of Little took place
this morning at 3:30 o'clock when
masked men took him from his lodg
ing house and hanged him from a rail
road trestle In the outskirts of the
city. His body was identified by Chief
of Police Murphy, who cut it down at
8 o'clock this morning.
Little had letters in his grip from
Industrial Workers of the World or
ganizers in the country. Most of his
own Industrial Workers of the World
literature was dated at Bisbee, Ariz.,
from which point he had received
many letters since coming to Butte.
Letters from Haywood and other prom
inent I. W. W. men were In his suit
case. Telegrams lnrorming mm oi ine
Illness and death of his mother In Per
kins, Oklahoma, on June 8, also were
kept by the man. A letter from that
place is signed "Your brother, William
Little." Another brother, "Hank," is
in Seattle.
One letter of queer meaning in;
structs Little to "throw away those
crutches. F. says they're no good to
you." Little was known in Butte since
his arrival here as a cripple, explain
ing that he was suffering from a brok
en ankle and ruptures Induced by "two
gunmen Jumping on him m El Paso."
"It is the most unwise thing that has
happened in Butte," said" B. K. Wheel
er, United States District Attorney,
this morning in discussing the Little
affair. "The men who perpetrated the j
affair should be brought to Justice." '
Mr. Wheeler said that the govern
ment officials have been working on
the Little case and that he had, on
Tuesday, written to the United States
attorney-general in Washington, ask
ing It prosecution could be brought
against Little on the ground of his un
patriotic utterances. Geovernment men
have been working on the Little case
for the past week with a view to pos
sible prosecution.
County Attorney Joseph R. Jackson,
commenting on the outrage, said to
day: "It Is a cold-blooded murder and ev
ery effort will be used to apprehend
the men who did it. If they are caught
they will be prosecuted to the full ex
tent of the law"
East Lincoln street.
The man who did the shooting fled
Immediately after, but left behind him
three feet of black fuse, such as is
used for firing dynamite.
The corporal, making bis rounds of
inspection, came upon the man In the
shadow of a freight car. Asking him
what he was doing, the man immedi
ately started to struggle with the sol
dier, and at the same time drew a re
volver. In an effort to protect himself and
get the prowler's gun. Corporal Sutton
fought the man all over the dock
in the shadow of the freight shed. In
the course of the fight the man fired
four times, one bullet piercing the sol
dier's shoulder. Corporal Sutton's uni
form waa torn to shreds in the battle,
and after being shot he dropped to the
ground. The man then ran east to
wards Grand avenue and disappeared.
Corporal Sutton tried to get his
riflle to play but because of the
Injury to his arm waa unable to use it.
Private Wallace .Weger, on guard!
on the dock, heard the shots and
rushed to Sutton's aid. He carried
him to the substation of the power
company near the dock, where Sut-
ion a wouna s were dressed and an
ambulance called to take him to St.
Vincent's hospital.- .
Police reserves and detectives were
rushed to the scene, and upon finding
the fuse, immediately began a search
under the nearby docks for dynamite.
The theory waa advanced that the
prowler had some of the explosive
stolen Monday night from Twohy
Brothers' camp at Bridal Veil.
Upon being accosted by Corporal
Sutton, the man refused to give an ac
count of himself, and demanded to
know by what right the soldier ques
tioned him. Immediately after giving
his first answer to the soldier's ques
tions, he sprang upon the guard.
Sutton was shot with a .32 caliber
revolver, and his wound is regarded as
serious.
MICHIGAN GIRL
OF 14 ANXIOUS
TO ENTER RANKS
The crowd attending Buyers Week
in Portland, August 6 to 11, la to be
picked np bodily on the Thursday of
that week and transported to Oregon
City.
Two stemers have already been
chartered to move visiting merchants
up the river, and others will be se
cured If found to be required. The
Ramona and the Grahamona are the
boats. One will leave the dock at the
Supple & Ballin shipyards and the
other will load at the foot of Taylor
street.
On arrival at this city the boats will
pass through the locks and will tie
up at the mid-stream dock of the pa
per mills. Each boat Is to carry a
committee of Oregon City business
men and a band. The musicians of
the bands must qualify as being able
to keep up a toot from the time the
boats start until they land.
The great Industries clustered
around Willamette Fall will be epened
to Inspection, guides being furnlBhed
for the Oregon City Manufacturing
company plant, the Hawley Pulp and
Paper Mill and the Crown Willamette
mill. Afterward the visitors will be
taken to McLoughlin Park for a din
ner. The Chamber of Commerce commit
tee In charge of Buyers Week holds as
Ita belief that the attendance la to
break all records thla year. A large
number of merchants who. went to
Portland for previous years are going
to repeat this year, and they are bring
ing; along many of their friends.
While the big thing In the minds
of visitors is the large stocks of mer
chandise, In which Portland leads the
entire northwest, the correspondence
on file indicates that up-state mer
chants are keenly alive to the part
that shipbuilding is to play in the
prosperity of the state tor the next
few years. They declare that they
want to visit the yards, see what ships
are actually on the ways and deter
mine what materials ,are used and
where they come from. If the yards
shall employ an army of labor, num
bering thousands, the up-state dis
tricts realize that they will be called
upon to supply materials for construc
tion and for feeding the men. Thurs
day morning is to be devoted to vis
iting shipyards, and It is thought that
the visitors can be assembled at the
Supple & Ballin yard In time for
luncheon aboard one of the boats.
The steamers for Oregon City will
be boarded at 1:30 p. m. Deck danc
ing to the tune of the "Merry Water
Dog" will be programmed for the re
turn trip at night
It is expected that most of the vis
itors this year will be accompanied by
their wives and daughters. Prepara
tions are under way to supply these
visitors with escorts and care for them
while their husbands and fathers are
busy in the big warehouses.

Labor Paper For This City
Is Strongly Opposed By
Local Carpenter's Union
AUTO BUCKS 8NOW
BEND, Or., Aug. 1. Although three
feet of snow lies on the summit of
the Mackenzie pass road the trip from
Bend to Eugene may be made without
difficulty, according to T. A. McCann,
of Bend, -who has Just returned from
an auto tour through the mountains
The section of road lying between Bend
and Eugene was covered In nine hours.
Setting forth as their belief that
there exists at the present time no
field for an addition newspaper in Or
egon City, and especially a union la
bor newspaper, the local carpenters'
union No. 1388, Wednesday night at
their meeting in the labor temple here
passed resolutions opposing the en
trance of such a paper into this field.
The local union is a branch of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners. H. C. Tozier is president of
this branch.
According to MV. Tozier, advertising
soliciting has been going on for some
time in this city, looking toward the
establishment at an early date of a
labor union press. Tozier says that
his union will not support such a pa
per simply because of the fact that it
is alleged to be a union paper.
"That Is not enough to make us ask
the merchants of Oregon City to dig
down into their pockets for large ad
ditional advertising expenditures sim
ply that we may have a labor paper.
One labor paper In the state is enough
just at present."
"More than that," continued Tozier,
' the local papers are meeting every
need. The man who is soliciting ad
vertising space in the other paper
claims to have the support of the sul
phite workers' union and is basing
his whole project on that"
The carpenters' union has about
45 men on its books at the present
time, although many of Its members
have been sent to American Lake,
tvhere there is said to be a considera
ble shortage of men. According to
Chester Vanderpoel, of Portland, who
spoke before the meeting Wednesday
night, there is work enough at Amer
ican Lake for over 600 men and that
there are several hundred needed right
In Portland and vicinity. '
The officers of the local union fol

Parker, vice-president; Glen Mills, re
cording secretary; Thomas Cook, fin
ancial secretary1; E. W. Eby, conduc
tor; D. C. Courtney, warde; Gilbert
