Other causes for the strike are said to

In relation to the Impending strike situa
tion on the Wabash, tonight Issued a
statement addressed to brother members
on the Wabash Bailroad, gi'ing a resume
of the situation and advising them, to con
tinue loyal to the railroad company and
their respective organizations, and pay
no attention to the statements or threats
of any person, nor to any rumors which
may be put into circulation.
This was the only development of the
day in the situation. An all-day confer
ence was held In the Southern Hotel by
Grand Masters Hanrahan and Morrlssey.
of the Brotherhoods of Firemen and Train
men, with their attorneys, Messrs. Irwin
and Pinney, and F. X. Judson, the latter
of St. Louis, who has been engaged as an
associate counsel to help In the prepara
tion of the answer to the Wabash -injunction
This answer, with affidavits, may
be tiled in court tomorrow; if not then, it
will be filed Monday. John H. Murphy,
chief counsel of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, who reached here today'
from Denver, Joined in the conference.
The statement issued tonight by the
officials of the firemen's and trainmen's
brotherhoods says:
Employe) Crsreil to Work.
"We are taking- the necessary legal
steps to protect our rights, and we believe
we can furnish the court ample facts and
sufficient reasons for vacating the order, i
Until this has been done, these organiza
tions will respect the order of the court. :
We advise our officers and members, not
only on the Wabash system, but elsewhere,
to do likewise."
This statement was shown to President
Ramsey and Colonel W. H. Blodgett,
counsel for the Wabash, and they both
expressed the opinion that it is notice to
the Wabash employes to continue working
for the present as usual, and that a strike
is not to be called; and that It will be
very oleasant news to most of the em
ployes. Regarding the probabilities of a strike.
President Ramsey said to the Associated
Press tonight:
"In case the injunction is dissolved, I
think a strike is quite likely. In case of
the dissolution, it will probably be need
ed also by the leaders. The Wabash em
ployes will not go out until ordered to do
so. A strike may inconvenience the Wa
bash for some time, but It will not tie up
the system to any extent unless a boy
cott is ordered nt the different terminal
end Junction points."
Mr Ramsey then discussed the action
of last Monday, when the injunction was
served on the employes' officials. He
said:
Rnmwej Defends II Ik Action.
"On Monday last I received a nrmal
notice from the committee of the brother
hxd officials that the vote of the Broth
erhood of RailwayTrainmen and of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen had
been In favor of declaring a strike in the
event that their demands were not grant
ed, and I was given until 12 o'clock noon
Tuesday to answer, and falling to answer,
a strike would be declared. I replied to
this communication, and my reply was
delivered at the Laclede Hotel to the
committee at C P. M. Monday. As this
reply required the committee to furnish
me their ultimatum covering the points
which must be conceded In order to pre
vent a strike, I waited for a reply until
12:15 P. M., Tuesday, or until a few min
utes after tne hour fixed by the commit
tee Itself. Falling to get a reply, I had
the injunction served. At 12:38 P. M. I
received a letter from the committee in
answer to mine of Monday, giving the in
formation desired.
"Had this letter reached me by 12:15 the
Injunction would not have been served at
that time, but would have been held back
in the hope that further conferences would
have prevented the necessity of its serv
ice. Even after the injunction was served
I replied in full to the letter received from
the committee, being of the opinion that
Borvlce of the injunction did not relieve
cither zne or the committee from doing all
in our power to arrive at an amicable set
tlement and prevent the necessity of any
strike, and I am of this opinion still.
My reply was delivered to the committee
at 4:45 P. M. Tuesday, or a few minutes
before tho time fixed by them for a reply.
To this letter I novo had no reply what
ever. "Tho policy of tho Wabash Is un
changed. It claims it is now paying as
good wages and has as equitable rules as
any of its competitors. If it Is not doing
this, It stands ready, injunction or no in
junction, to carry out Its pledge given
to advance its wages or change Its rules
when it is shown to be out of line with
Its competitors."
Traitor in Employes' Ranks.
It is stated that ono of the grounds to
bo urged for the 'dissolution of the in
junction will be the denial of the authori
zation of a letter sent to the Wabash em
ployes at tho time the vote was ordered,
purporting to come from a leader of the
cjnference committee and making threats
upainst the company. Both Mr. Morrlssey
and Mr. Lee say they had no knowledge
of tho letter until it was used by the
Wabash officials in their plea for an in
junction. Morrlssey and Loe intimate that
they know the author of tho letter to be
si member of their order who Is a traitor
tj the brotherhood, and who wrote It to
make grounds for an injuncion by the
company.
At the headquarters of the Gould sys-
trm It was stated tonight that George
J Gould has indefinitely postponed hls
rwp-Hon trip over the Southwestern and

makes at this time of the year. It is ex

Strike of Structural Iron Workers
Throughout Country Hallux.
PHILADELPHIA. March 6.-A general

cruer Includes all construction, work in
the Lands of the company throughout the

thousands of men in all sections.
Tht American Brkige Company is said

Explanation lr Employer.
XBW YORK. March 6. An official of
the American Bridge Company here eaid
today:
"The strike has been called without our
receiving any prior notice of any trouble.
So far as we know the strike is In sym
pathy with the hoisting engineers, and re
ports from our foremen throughout the
country show that everything la tied up
everywhere in the country. We have al
ways lived up to our agreements with the
men in regard to the employment of union
men. but the unions have failed to supply
us with union men. The question for us
to decide now is whether to employ non
union men or stop work.
"The organization of the iron manufac
turers does not contemplate any action
against the interests of the men. It does
not intend to cut wages or do anything
unless driven to It by some action of the
men themselves."

PITTSBURG, March C About 700 bridge

FORECAST OF DECISIO.V.
Coal Strike CoxuminHlon Will Find
Mainly for Miners.
NEW YORK, March 6. The Herald
prints the following as a summary of the
findings of the coal strike commission
appointed by President Roosevelt, which
It ia expected will be handed to the Presi
dent within a week:
There will undoubtedly be at least a 10
per cent advance in the pay for mining.
to take effect from the time the miners
returned to work last October. The per
diem employes will not have their wages
Increased, but will be recommended for
the same pay for a day of nine hours.
The system of pay will be regulated.
Wherever practicable the operators will be
required to pay by weight instead of by
the car, and elsewhere by the lineal yard.
The miners will have check docking repre
sentatives at their own expense. This will
practically amount to a second Increase In
wages.
There will be Indirect recognition of the
union, which will come when the findings
are submitted by President Roosevelt to
John Mitchell, as president of the Miners
Union.
Tho causes of the strike, as found by
the commlsson. will not be comforting to
the coal-mining companies.
The boycott will be condemned, and the
principle will be laid down that a miner
has a right to work without molestation.
even -though he does not belong to the
union.
The terms of the verdict are to hold for
three years, and recommendations are to
be made for settlement of wages and other
questions at the end of that period.
In local disputes the operators will be
advised to treat with committees of the
miners, and this may be a suggestion
for a local board of arbitration.
WHOLE CITY MAY STRIKE.
Spokane Unions Vote to Join Hands
With Gas Workers.
SPOKANE, Wash., March 6. It Is now
reported upon what seems to be good
authority that all of the separate unions
which met last Wednesday have indorsed
the action of the Trades Council of this
city to call out every man In Spokane on
a sympathetic strike over the gas trouble.
They are reported to have instructed their
delegates in the council to take this stand
upon the final ballot.
Those unions that met last night are as
follows: Laundryworkere, plumbers, bar
bers, tinners, shingleworkers and retail
clerks. It is also understood that some
other unions held special meetings to dis
cusa tho matter.
If this attitude Is continued among the
unions of the city a general strike seems
Inevitable.
The real reason for this strike Is best
stated by the statement of T. S. Heskett,
the eecretary of the Trades Council:
"The matter has now assumed a form
of a fight between organized labor and the
Commercial Club, which is composed of
business men of the city, declared Mr.
Hcekett. "It is now more than a fight
with the gas company alone; it Is a fight
Between tne Business men who compose
tnis ciuo ana organized labor.
"This club advised the gas company not
to settle the strike, and now it is a fight
between business men generally and or
ganized labor."
Waive the Sympathetic Strike.
CHICAGO. March 6. Building contract
ors have succeeded In getting the carpen
ters to waive their demands for th rin
statement of the sympathetic strike clause
In the new working agreements. The car
penters form ono of the largest and most
mnuenuai unions in tne nullding trades,
and their action is exnectpri tom
to stop the growth of the demand for
the strike right. The manufacturers of
sash, door and interior finishings are also
cngagea in a controversy with their em
nloves over the same nninr. TVi -a-nnA
workers have Incorporated the strike right
in their new agreements.and their demand
that it oe accepted has tied un ricntt

NEW YORK, March 6. It la probable
that a union or ew lork street-railway

which was formed on Wednesday, when
nearly 90 per cent of the "L" men sub

Machinists Demand More.
CHICAGO. March 6. The 5600 machinists
of Chicago have agreed to make demands
on May 1 for a 5 per cent Increase in
wages, a regular nine-hour day, and a
seven-hour day during slack seasons. On
a referendum vote these demands were In

FOLLOWING A NEW CLEW
BUFFALO POLICE HA VI? XOT FOCXD
BUItDICIv'S SLAYER.
They Abandon All Former Theories
and Were at Loss "When HneU
mrin Gave Them Another Scent.
BUFFALO, March 7. Early this (Satur
day) morning the police are at work on
a new clew In the Burdlck murder mys
tery. They have found a hackman who
drove a young woman to the corner of
Ashland avenue and Summer street, near
the hour of the murder. She carried, a
satchel and walked toward .the Burdlck
house. The police are investigating some
of the women who worked In Burdick's
factory.
It is said that the new woman in the
case has auburn hair. Several days ago
It was reported that th.e police were In
search of a red-headed woman, but the
report was emphatically denied by the
police and at the District Attorney's
office. It Is even intimated that hlnto
and suggestions dropped by the authori
ties during the past two or three days
have been a blind to cover up the real
object of their Investigation In working
the other clew, they ran across certain
evidence that led them to believe that
they were on the wrong track. Instead of
breaking off their work abruptly, they
continued it. but with less vigor, while
the new evidence waii sifted out.
The report of Chemist Hill, it is stated
on good authority tonight, will state that
no poison was found in Burdick's stomach.

BUFFALO. N. Y.. March 6. That the
murderer of Edwin L. Burdlck will never
be brought to justice is becoming a gen
eral belief. During the last C6 hours of
hard work on the mysterious tragedy not
a bit of Information of sufficient Impor
tance to be termed evidence has been un
eirthed by the police. The one woman
who has been under suspicion, and who
has become known as the police suspect.
Is believed to be guiltless, so far as the
crime Is concerned, by some of the offi
cials of the Police Department and the
District Attorney's office, and they are
convinced that all efforts to fasten the
crime upon her will be unavailing. They
do not pretend to have any cleir Idea who
the murderer Is; they simply say that the
right trail has not been struck. The prob
ability of an immediate arrest being made
In the case grows slighter every hour.
An interesting development of the day
was the statement made by Chief of De
tectives Cusack that the golfstlck theory
had been ibandoned. He Is satisfied that
the putter was not used In committing the
murder. He also expressed the conviction
that tho weapon used was carried away
from the house. . He is sure of that, but
ho Is not so sure that It was carried to the
house by the murderer. Neither will he
venture an opinion as to the kind of
weapon used.
Perhaps the most Interesting develop
ment In connection with the crime Itself
is the interview given by Dr. Marcy, in
which he said thit the victim's head was
not only beaten into a pulp, but that the
murderer carefully wrapped a quilt around
the murdered man's body to smother any
possible outcry. If the fclows on the held
had not been fatal Che victim certainly
would have been smothered in the tight
folds of the quilt around his head and the
upper pirt of the body.
District Attorney Coatesworth denied
that any new clues had been received to
day or that developments of Importance
had arisen.
Dr. Payne left his office in Batavia and

have been offered, is still at large, but a
posse is close on his trail, and his capture
is hourly expected. ' Last Wednesday
"Gaping Dick" passed through Saratoga,
en route north, 12 hours ahead of the of
ficers, but his mount was jaded, and it is
thought he cannot escape.
In view of the proposed hunting trip
of President Roosevelt through Wyoming
an extra effort Is being made to place
the outlaw behind the barsi Carey. It is
said, was for years a member of the no
torious "Butch" Cassldy and George Cur
ry . gangs of outlaws, that made their
headquarters In the Hole-In-the-Wall
country. In Central Wyoming, and the
"Robbers' Roost" section of Southern Wy
oming and Northern Colorado. When a
I mere boy, it Is alleged, he served the
older outlaws as herder, messenger and
camp attendant.

330 horsis from the Medicine Butte Com--pany
in' South Dakota, toe South iJakota
authorities offered $1000 for Carey's cap
ture, and the Medicine Butte Company of
fered a. like sum. Johnson County of
, fleers trailed Carey to Wolton last Oc
tober, and after a ftfiarp fight, in which
! Carey's horse was killed under him, cap
I tured him. Carey feigned a broken leg
! and was taken to Senator Madden's ranch
near Lost Cabin, and was placed in care
of a herder over night. Carey was not
hurt,- however, and during the night he
overpowered his guard, secured a pistol and
I went to the ranch house, where he held up
the inmates and secured a Winchester
rifle and a belt full of cartridges. Re
I turning to the barn he mounted the fast
! est ,horse and maUe his escape. The
rnnciimen fired a fusillade of shots at the
escaping bandit, and heard him cry out In
pain, but he was not dangerously wound
ed. '
i The next day Carey was trailed a dls-
Itance of SO miles by blood from his wound,
but he took to a stream and thus threw
'his pursuers off the trail. Senator Mad
den offered a reward of 51000 for the cap
j ture of the outlaw, and since that time
! officers have been searching for Carey.
; Early In January "Laughing Dick" was
' located in Routt County. Colorado, but
; he got wind of the officers coming and
fled to Utah. About the middle of Feb
