Julv 2. rsne- clal.) Marshfield is in the throes of another mysterious campaign of house breaking. Victims are certain that the rrowler is insane and cunning.

Curiously, the culprit has taken nothing from any vi m many residences he has searched although money, watches and other jeweiry nave been lying about in all of the homes. The police are baffled by the unusual eeries of complaints and. since the oc currences happen in widely different parts of the city, attempts to set watches have failed to ehed any light uic mystery.

Nonunion lumber handlers, guarded by a detail of police and private watchmen. worked today unloading the 900,000 feet of hardwood brought here from Otaru, Japan, by the Japanese freighter Ivosuku Maru. Groups of union long shoremen pickets patrolled the end of the wharf where the vessel was tied, but there was no- friction. To prevent possible harm to the non- unionists, the men are being quartered in the wharf freight shed. Walter Lohrentz. local union leader, declared no attempt would be made at violence. but that the activities of striking long shoremen will be confined to peaceful efforts to prevent more strikebreakers from being employed on the Kosuku Maru. SAN PEDRO, Cal.. July 2. There were no outward developments here to day in the strike of union longshore men and lumber handlers. Reports that some of the companies affected by the strike were planning to import strikebreakers during the week caused the police to prepare for disturbances which might possibly re sult from such action.

The work of . unloading the "Big Three" liner Rose City at the Ains- worth dock continued yesterday with a force of non-union men. No difficulty was experienced, although pickets of strikers were busy. A squad of police was stationed at the dock to prevent any clash. A party of probably 40 striking long shoremen gathered under the Steel bridge in sight of the dock, where they remained . during the day, passing the time pitching horseshoes and in con versation. No raid on the dock was attempted, however, in the face of the two stalwart bluecoats who guarded the approach. Another police officer was stationed on the dock, and there were special watchmen on duty. Everyone approaching the dock was challenged. The work of unloading the Rose City will probably be completed within a day or two, and it is. thought possible that she may be able to get away by Wednesday. The barge on which the strikebreak ers are quartered is equipped with some regulation Are hose for repelling boarders. SEATTLE STRIKERS "PROTEST Presence of Armed Guards on Wa terfront Objected To. .

Fedleiral H V. d Strike? or Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. .With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body. Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of the controversy is as follows: "Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion, and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinter ested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the rail ways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods: - 1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its con trol of the revenue of the railways, is in a positioq to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are .found by the Commission to be just and reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises, that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and promptly dispose of the questions involved: or ' 2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlands Act). Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote - Leaders of the train service brotherhoods at the joint conference held in New York? June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by . the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: No other body with such an intimate knowledge of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned position in the public con fidence. The rates the railroads may charge the public for transportation are now largely fixed by this Government board. Out of every dollar received by the rail roads from the public nearly one-half is paid directly to the employes as wages; and the money to pay increased wages can come from no other source than the rates paid by the public. The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its control over rates, is in a position to make a complete investigation and render such decision as would protect the interests of the railroad employes, the owners of the railroads, and the public. A Question For the Public to Decide The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid ana constituting only one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine the merits of the.case after a review of all the facts. ' The single issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an impartial Govemthent inquiry or by industrial warfare.
