from his eastern speaking' tour, be
cause of the Insurgent strike of rail
roal workers, tonight said he did not
find "any evidence of connection be
tween the railway men's strike and
Industrial Workers of the World ac
tivities." General Wood declared he
found -traffic conditions improving
throughout the department.
Attorney - General Palmer. on
Wednesday declared reports from his
department linked the "illegal"
switchmen's walkout with I. W. W.
plans for "one big union" and a nation-wide
walkout. ,
Of floe rn Find No Connection.
Military intelligence officers here
had been unable to furnish any con
nection between the two. General
Wood said.
After revoking the charters of two
Chicago lodges of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen and one San Fran
cisco lodge. A. F. Whitney, vice-president
of the brotherhood, today or
dered all striking members of the
organization in the Chicago terminal
district to return to work by mid
night Saturday or suffer expulsion
from the union, with loss of their
seniority rights.
With 25 leaders of the insurgent
forces under arrest in Chicago,
charged with violating the Lever act,
the movement of freight and live
stock approaching- normal and the
return of many strikers to duty, rail
chiefs and brotherhood officers de
clared the walkout which started
more than two weeks ago, was defi
nitely broken.
Among the local unions whose
charters were revoked, was Lodge
'456 of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad, of which John Grunau,
head of the outlaw yardmen's asso
elation, was a member. It was the
walkout of 700 switchmen on this
road that started the strike which
subsequently spread to many railroad
centers throughout the country.
Prisoners Will Not Give- Ball.
John Grunau. Harold Reading, pres
ident of the United Enginemen's as
sociation, and four other men arrested
yesterday by federal agents, an
nounced they would not put up bonds
for their release.
Martin Kenney, Shannon Jones1, John
Logan and Hugo Radke said they
would go to Jail rather than furnish
' bond, but 14 others who were released
yesterday on their own recognizance,
gave $10,000 bond for their release
today before United States Commis
sioner Mason.
R. S. Murphy, spokesman for the
yardmen's association, blamed broth
erhood officers for the arrests. He
said the men simply quit their po
sitions and were not strikers. Five
men forrwhom warrants were Issued
have not been arrested.
STRIKE IS FELT AT ALBANY
Poultry Grower and Merchants Re
port Delay in Shipments.
ALBANY, Or.. April 16. (Special.)
The wide effect of the outlaw rail
road strike is shown by the fact that
a Linn county poultry grower report
ed yesterday that it was interfering
With the work of his incubators. He
said he had ordered oil for heating
the incubators but it couldn't be de
livered and he was having difficulty
getting a substitute order filled be
cause of the shortness' of the supply
resulting from few shipments now.
Merchants in Albany and other
towns in this section are beginning
to feel the effects of the strike. Or
ders they placed several days ago
have not been filed.
The strike also is Interfering with
road work in Linn county to some ex
tent. The county recently ordered
two new rock crushers and they ar
rived in Portland two weeks ago, but
" before they could be transferred for
shipment to Albany the switchmen
quit work. The county court pur-
" chased these rock crushers, one for
installation at Saddle Butte, east of
Shedd, and the other to be placed at
.. Green's Bridge on the road from Jef
ferson to Sclo.

Although the striking switchmen

new men were employed throughout
the day by the railroad companies.
Ultimatums Issued by the Southern

Twenty-one crews were reported at

That the Southern Pacific lines will

the interstate commerce commission
yesterday to amend previous notice to

"Until experience and careful study

announcement said, "the uniform rule

Suit or R. X. Stanfield Against
Mike Angland May Be Appealed.
BEND, Or, April IS. (Special.)
The fact that one of the nine jurors
who last night signed a verdict for
R. N. Stanfield In his $1000 damage
suit against Mike Angland, Powell
Butte sheepman, is not a citizen of
the United States, but owes allegiance
to Canada, may be an important point
in appealing the case to the supreme
court, it was stated here today by
Angland's attorneys.
. A. Smith, the juror in question,
was seated without protest when the
trial began two days ago, and it was
not until the case was virtually con
cluded that the attorneys discovered
that he is still a Canadian, although
a resident of central Oregon for the
past 15 years.
BREAKS FORECAST EARLY
EKD OF OUTLAW RAIL
ROAD STRIKE.
(By the Associated Press.)
Outward indications point to
an early end of the nation-wide
railroad strike.
The first big break in the
strikers' ranks in the east, their
last remaining stronghold, came
yesterday when 500 Pennsyl
vania firemen and enginemen
voted to go back to work. Sim
ilar action by the trainmen's
brotherhood there was reported
by its president, although at
a meeting last night In Balti
more trainmen declared they
had voted to remain out, even
at the risk of being expelled
from the unions.
Eastern railways continued
to report increasing defections
in the strikers' ranks, but these
. were disputed by strike leaders,
who declared the main body of
their men was still holding firm.
Continued improvement also
was reported by the roads of
the middle and far west.
Switchmen at Toledo, O.,
voted to return to work, pend
a settlement of their grievances
by the labor board. The rail
roads there will give their an
swer today.
Railroads in all sections of
the country reported that: pas

strike began, was rapidly being

is chiefly just a plain ordinary strike
for more pay."
New York and New England in
vestigators reported they had found
strike sentiment "strongest among the
intelligent and conservative men,"
Mr. Morrison said. Many of the
strikers have served for long periods
on one railway, he added, and never
before were known2as2agitators. Oth
er observers found "no virus of dis
loyalty or revolution In the ranks of
the affected workers except the usual
evidence of extremists who are 'rid

to be the case."
Mr. Morrison declared the railroad
executives were "fully informed" as
SENATOR, SM00T SCORED
Rider to BUI Declared to Give Con
trol of Public Printing.
BOSTON, April 16. The alleged
censorship power held by Senator
Smoot over every government pub
lication was criticised by Roger Bab
son today in an address delivered in
connection with the inter-church
world movement.
"Something which is not generally
known," he said, "is. that Senator
Smoot had a rider attached to a bill
giving authority to the Joint commit
tee on printing so that not a single
government document can be printed
unless it is approved by the chairman
of the'eommittee."

jjo.-s. April 16. There Is no
doubt the American drys are becom
ing panicky, for it is confirmed by
the "S. O. S." cable to "Pussyfoot
Johnson to return for a speechmaking
tour. In fact the nntl-saloon league
leaders, realizing what an effective
speaker Johnson is. and the fame and
publicity he has achieved here, are
anxious for him to come home imme
dlately to bolster up the cause. He
sailed for New York Tuesday.
Johnson said it wasn't improbable
that the league wished to use him in
the fight against the re-introduclion
or light wine and beer, which if sue
cessful he would consider a serious
setback for prohibition. His office
here will remain open while he is
away, and he expects to return in
three or four moaths.
Meanwhile his voice canned will
continue to exhort Britishers to pro
hlbitlon, as at the request of the local
drys he is making three or four talk
ing machine records, each a three
minute speech on prohibition.
That "Pussyfoot" will return with
a rosy report on prohibition prospects
in Britain Is forecast. He says:
There has been a remarkable
change in the situation since I came
to Europe 19 months ago. There i
much more thinking, and serious
thinking, on the subject than ever
before. I've talked with a number of
the large captains of Industry and
they ate frankly worried over the
international economic competitive
phase of prohibition.
"I expect much of Scotland to go
dry in the fall elections under the
local option law. The reports of a
prohibition census being taken at In
verness Indicate a good majority" will
vote dry, though it is a city almost
in the heart of the highland whisky
business."
WASHINGTON, April 16. While
the state department was considering
today a new phase of the latest Mex
ican problem, a request from the
Carranga government that its troops
be given passage across American
territory to attack revolutionists in
the state of Sonora Henry Lane Wil
son, ex-ambassador to Mexico, was
drawing a gloomy picture of the sit-
tion beyond the border before a
senate investigating committee.
Mr. Wilson asserted that "the un
fortunate and mischievous policy of
the present administration's attitude
toward Mexico." was . responsible for
the conditions described. That policy.
he added, "had bound the United
States to maintain Carranza In power
and with him the legend that there la
peace and order In Mexico.
The stats department did not make
public the text of the Mexican re
quest, nor was any official Intima
tion given as to the nature of the
reply to be made.
Mr. W ilson, who was appointed to
the post in Mexico City by President
Taft and continued there during the
early months of President Wilson's
first administration before his resig
nation was accepted, said both official
and personal records he had kept
justified his arraignment of the ad
ministration's Mexican policy.
"To date," he said, "it has caused
the people of the United states up
ward of half a billion dollars. It has
led to the violent death of 300.009
Mexicans and to the death by pesti
lence and famine of 600.000 more. It
has caused up to this week the
murder of 666 American citizens
within Mexico, it has kept 80.000 of
our troops on the border. It has left
in the Mexican treasury a dericit oi
over 1300,000.000 to replace a surplus
of $100,000,000 left by Diaz.
William J. Bryan, as secretary of
state, "ran the state department like
the back kitchen of a restaurant,"
Mr. WiUon said. Almost every dip
lomatic representative of the United
States sent to Mexico since the fall
of Diaz and some officials at the de
partment, he added, had been unable
to tolerate the Mexican policy. He
named Henry P. Fletcher, ex-ambas
sador; George A. Chamberlain, consul
general, and John Bassett Moore, ex
counselor at the department, a
among this number.
Mr. Wilson said the native prejudice
against foreigners and a desire to
appropriate directly wealth which
thev developed aided the successful
rebellion of Francisco Madero.
He reviewed the events during
Madero's regime and said during the
Huerta revolution which resulted li
Madero's overthrow, he found him
self "penned up" in the embassy at
Mexico City "with' 2600 Americans de
pending upon me for food t-nd shelter
during eight days," while the bom
hardment of Mexico City left "8000
dead Mexicans, Bokliers and civilians.
rot tins: In the streets with all water
and lisrht shut off."
Madero had been arrested by
Huerta. Mr. Wilson continued:
"On my own responsibility I called
In Huerta. Felix Diaz and General
Blanquet for a conference in the
American embassy," he said, "and
thereafter for hours the generals
were induced by persuasion and
threat to sign an agreement sub
mitting their presidential claims to
the Mexican congress for adjudica
tion.
