.CHICAGO. Jan. 5. (Special.) A respite
has been given the heads of railroads
throughout the country by the apparent
failure of the representatives of the two
big; railway unions to agree on terms of
Jurisdictional amity.
Before the sweeping demand for an
Advance in wages and a universal eight
hour dny are presented to the railroad
managers ft factional Quarrel between the
firemen and engineers will have to be
settled. A committee, composed of A. li.
cjarretson, of the Conductors; J. J. Han
rahan, of the Firemen & Knglnemen:
3 M. MorTlsny..- of the Trainmen, and
V. S. Btone, of the Engineers, which has
lefn In constant secret ' session at the
Sherman House' since yesterday morning.
dtmolved . tod&y wlrnout action peine;
taKon to scttla the existing strike on the
Soutliein raclfle. which wan caused by
the troubles of the Firemen's and Engi
neers' XTnlons.
Try to Frescnt Solid Front.
To present a solid front to the employ
ers when the demands are made for the
wholcsaje increase in wages, it has been
deemed1 best, it' is said, to eliminate all
frir-tlon amoriK the ranks of the employes.
AIko. it is declared, the ultimate action
will be deferred until the present con
troversy between locomotive engineers
and road managers has been settled.
Then the cry will be, so it Is declared,
"At them all together!'
Mr. Morrlssey and Mr. Garretson, who
nave beon foremost In the deliberations,
departed for Cleveland -ton la-tit, but will
meet in Chicago again when the locomo
tive engineers and the road managers are
at peace.
As to- the particulars of the demands
made on the railroads all the members
of the conference are reticent. It haa
been ascertained, however, tha all the
roads of the country and also Canada
and Mexico will be included when the
demands are made.
May Bankrupt Some Itoads.
Mr, Morrissey and Mr. Garret son both
reiterated the statement that no question
of a universal strike obtruded Itself at
the present time. It also was declared
their belief that strike measures would
not be resorted to, whatever the decision
of the railroads.
Meanwhile presidents and traffic man
agers of the roads centering; In Chicago
have been holding secret sessions for the
last two weeks. It has been admitted
that granting the demands of the em-
ploycs for an increase ot from 5 to 20
por cent In wages would sweep some of
the railroads dangerously near
ceivershlps.
Involves 1,500,000 Men.
If. as it has been declared, the entire
force of railroad employes In the country
should Join In the demand for Increased
wages, it Is computed that 1.500.010 men
would be arrayed against the owners of
the systems. Nearly 8.000.000 men, women
and children are dependent on these men
for their living.
There are 10K0 roads in the United
States, Of these 310 are great systems
owned by comparatively few men. The
total mileage is 216.000. More than $!.-
000,000 Is paid out annually in wages and
salaries.
ot the employes who are the more
active In the demand for greater wages
are the firemen, who number 3I643; en
glneers. 56.6; conductors, 41, tM, and
trainmen. 113,389.
'o More Ilarrinian Lines Involved.
Mr. Hanrahan stated that none of the
HarrJman lines other than the Southern
Facinc Sunset Route will be involved in
the firemen's controversy, at least for the
present. Ite admitted, however, that he
had shifted his headquarters from Peoria
to Chicago for Uie purpose ot handling
a strike more effectively should such a
condition develop. Mr. Hanrahan de
clared that the situation is one of the
Wftai delicate which has confronted tha
organised railway employes of the coun
try in many yr : that It realty con
stitutes, a crisis in the history or the
brotherhoods. A single move on the part
of the firemen to spread the present
striKe. he said Is almost certain to in
volve engineers, trainmen and conductors
FIREMEN HEADY FOB - STRIKE
Members of Vnlon Only Awaiting
Order From Headquarters. .
The members of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen employed on the
Hanlman lines In the Northwest have
not. a.8 yet been advised to wallc out,
but they declare they are all ready
to strike when they receive word. It
is believed that If the signal Is received
that It will come suddenly, with no
previous intimation other than has al
ready been given.
General Manager O'Brien, of the
liarriman lines in Orsiron, has Issued a
statement recounting the trouble of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive firemen on
the Atlantic system of the Southern
Pacific which may lead to a strike of
the firemen to affect all the Harriman
lines. The statement or communica
tion was sent to all the firemen of the
division under the Jurisdiction of Man
ager O'Brien.
He declares that the question is an
Issue that ought to be settled by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers, and that a striKe by the mem
bers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen will work a decided hardship.
not only to the railroad company, but
to the public in " general.
He quotes a statement sent to the
firemen ot Morgan's Louisiana &
Texas & Steamship Company. Iberia &
Vermillion Railroad. Louisiana & West
ern,, Texas & New Orleans and the
Galveston. Harrlsburg A San Antonio.
Jt cites that an agreement was entered
into between the firemen and the asso
elated lines interested April 1, 1903,
and amended April 1, 1906. and with
the engineers Feb. 1. 1003. and
amended May 1, 1906, and that a
difference has arisen between the two
organizations as to -which Is authorized
to deal with the n-.Hnagetuent as to
rates of pay, rules and regulations in
the latter case affecting seniority and
regarding; engineers tn switching: aer-
VlCP.
The statement which gives the side
of the railroad company in the contro-
veray. and which Is signed by officials
of the Atlantic system. In part Is a
follows:
"This ia obviously a controversy di
rectly affecting two organizations. The
ttitude of the management of these
com pa n les has been one of- absolute
neutrality, our position belnK that
these companies have but an indirect
interest In this controversy, that in
terest being to see to Jt that the most
capable and reliable men available un
der well-defined rules of promotion are
given positions of responsibility, in the
Interest of the safety of the traveling
public and of the property confided to
the care of these companies as common
carriers. "We have hoped and believed
that wise counsels will prevail, and
tfTat the two contending organizations
will confer in a friendly spirit and
reach a conclusion which will he ac
ceptable to both of them, as well as to
these companies.
We have repeatedly urged in he
conferences had with the committees
of each organization that their differ
ences should be settled amicably and
fairly between themselves; that these
companies have only an indirect inter
est in this controversy, and that
neither were justified in insisting: that
these companies decide between them
unless they were willing to abide by
the decision thus made. These com
panles are willing; to abide such set'
tlement of the issue between the con
tending organizations as above defined
as may be reached by them; or In the
ft 1 tern a 1 1 ve we a re r ea dy to determine
this issue if submitted to us. provided
both organizations will agree to abide
our decision.
"It Is deeply to be deplored that, dif
ferences have arisen between the
Brotherhood of locomotive Engineers
and the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, but we submit to the calm
judgment of both orders and their in
dividual members that, neither the pub
lie nor those companies should be com
pelled to suffer because . of . differences
between you In which they nave but
a remote and Indirect Interest.
The issue involved In this con
troversy Is purely a mooted question.
These companies have nbsolutejy no
unsettled case or grievance before
them. The question at issue is not
involved In any unadjusted grievance
between any of these companies and
any ensrineer or fireman iir their em
ploy." In r-oncluslon Manager OBrlen says:
'"This statement' shows plainly that
the question at issue Is one for the
Brotherhood of Locomotive firemen
and Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers to settle between themslves,
and that the calling out of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen on oth
er Harriman lines, which is threatened
by their grand master, will work a
decided hardship not only to the rail
road company but to the public in
general. It is hoped that the firemen
wili examine into the question at is
sue, and consider the same carefully
before taking arbitrary action."

tor of the outrage is a mystery, for
lie was blown to pieces by his own
engine of death. The other man killed
bv the explosion was W. S. McLear,
cashier of the bank, who had been
talking- to the stranger and had re
fused his request.
A. man answering the description or
the bomb-thrower earlier in the day
visited the Equitable Trust Company
on Board street and demanded a loan
of $.,0G on security he declared to be

McDevltt, whom he approached, or
dered the stranfrer away. The man
fumbled in his pocket, but finally with
drew. He stopped at the doorway,
however, and again fumbled in his
pockets. A woman patron of the Trust
Oompany passed. This. It is said, di
verted tile man's attention and. when
the watchmen, following instructions
of the teller, ordered him out, he re-
lurtantly left the buildlnsr. Shortly
a f torward news of the explosion at tho.

Eugene Mcllhonc, assistant to the
cashier, returned to the bank building
after havinjy his wounds dressed at the
Pennsylvania Hospital. He said:
I was about five feet -from McLear. I
was very busy at the time, as the bank
was on the point of closing its doors after
completion of the day's business and we
were all getting ready to fix up our books.
1 noticed a man conversing with McL.ear.
He was talking in an excited manner. In
one hand he carried a queer-shaped arti
cle wrapped in a newspaper. 1 said to a
clerk:
"That fellow is a- crank or he's craw."
The other clerk said:
"Yes, if I was McUear I wouldn't talk
to him for a minute." .The fellow talked
loud.
' I will get that money or know why."
he cried. "It's coming to me." J didn't
hear what McLear answered.
.'.'Then you. won't give It to me," the
man shouted. I saw Mr. MrLear shako

walk away. The man threw the t ri !np m
the newspaper on the floor right between
Mr. McLear and himself. It exploded
as soon as it struck. There was a biff

Scene Acted Over Again.
Four clerks and the assistant CRfihier
wero brousrht ha ok from the hospital
when their trifling injuries had been
treated, by order of Director of Public
Safety McKenty. Behind the eloseci doors
of the bank the director, with Superin
tendent of Police Taylor, had the men act
over the tragedy, the relative positions
of the men who were In the tank at the
time. and the actions of the bomb
thrower. The police are hard at work on
the theory that the man may have had
accomplices and are leavlnn; no stone un
turned to learn every detail.
One " of the Coroner's deputies investi
gated the scene of the outrage and found
what he believes to have been a fart of
the bomb. It Is a metal fragment two
Inches long-. He alo found a badge that
he believes belonged to the bombtlirower.
It has a green background, divided in
half by a led are hammer ingot. On the
left side of the sledee are the letters
"M. W. of A.." On the riaht side of the
sledge is a tree trunk with a wedge !
driven in It.
To Money or Securities Lost.
The bank will resume business on Mon
day. Immediately after the dead and In
jured had beet, removed, the work of
clearing up began. The first thins done
was to search for securities and other
valuable bank papers and the books and
money scattered by the explosion. When
fhla waa completed the wreckage was re
moved and a force of carpenters put to
work on the Interior of the bank. It was
also announced that, so far as a hasty
examination snowed. all collateral and
money are safe. The papers torn by the
explosion and missing can, it is thought,
be replaced by duplicates.
The dead cashier resided at St. Ionia,
a tiuburl), with his wife and three chil
dren. Mrs. McLear first was informed
that her husband had been injured in the
explosion. She feared the worst, how
ever, and when the sad news waa finally
given her by a neighbor, she collapsed.
The only clew to the identity of, the
bomb thrower was a bunch of keys
found in a portion of his clothing:, at
tached to which was a plate inscribed
"R.. Steele. Garner, Iowa." The Fourth
Street National Bank is the largest
financial institution in the city, and oc
cupies a greater portion of the first
floor of the Bullitt building on Fourth
street between Chestnut and Walnut
streets in the heart of the financial
district. The explosion was terrific,
and it caused tremendous excitement in
the crowded building- and street.
