CHICAGO. July 2S. Movement of
m freight to. through and from Chicago
was handicapped today by the strike
on 19 railroads by switchmen affiliated
with the Urotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen. Kor a time after the men
walked out at 6 A. M. the possibility of
mediation hunr in the balance, but be
1"oro noon the likelihood of Federal re
lief vanished with the refusal of the
strike leaders to accept the offices of
G. W. W. Hanger, of the Federal Board
of "Mediation and Conciliation.
Contending that they Bought only
the establishment of reasonable rules
regard insr employment, promotion and
dismissal of switchmen, the strike lead
ers asserted that close to 6000 men
iuit work. The railroad- managers
conference committee placed the num
ber who refused to work at less than
2500 and declared the cause of the
strike, to be insistence by the strikers
on rules which in effect amounted to
the establishment of a closed shop
n gainst switchmen not members of the
Jjrotherhood.
llival XTnlon Men Remain.
The situation was further compli
cated by the Switchmen's "Union of
North America, also largely employed
on the 19 roads in the Chirago switch
ing district. The members of this
union, affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor and not with the
brotherhood, remained at work with
few exceptions and aided in filling the
places of the strikers.
In the eyes of some of those who
watched the progress of the strike, it
was regarded as a fight between the
two switchmen's organizations as well
as a contest with the railroads.
F. K. Heberling, of Buffalo, N. T.,
international president of the Switch
f men's Union of North America, which
Is not striking, declared late today that
estimates of the lfumber who had quit
work had been greatly exaggerated.
Practically all members of the organi
zation of which he is the head, with
the exception of a few men employed
by the Chicago, Milwaukee & Ht. Paul
and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroads, have refused to strike, be
caid. He declared his organization did
not intend to import men to fill the
places of the strikers.
"War Supplies Oct Preference. .
The railroads gave great attention
to the moving of Government supplies
and the progress of the strike was
closely watched by Federal officials.
Jjistrict Attorney Clyne said that
prompt action would be taken if Gov
ernment supplies or Army materials
were destroyed.
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.

ation and Conciliation, was keeping in

SEATTLK. July SS. (Special.) The
striking motormen and conductors of
the Puget Sound Traction. Light &
i owcr Company, who quit work 11 days
ago because the company refused to
permit them to join a union, assembled
in mass meeting today and unanimously
rejected a proposition submitted by the

Receiver Petition to Be Renewed.
-t that time Corporation "ounsel
Caldwell will renew his petition for
the appointment ot a receiver to ope

Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power
Company officials were able lo con
vince the court that they could operate
the lines on substantially the same
schedules as before the btrike of ein-
. ployes.
Lj In its answer to the suit of the citv
the traction company declares that it
"is making every effort to resume op
erations, and will resume operations
Just hs soon h.s the authorities are able
io protect the defendant, its employes
and its property from mob violence."
It states that the authorities are not
able at the present time to give such
protection, and it would be an act of
inhumanity to deny to defendant's em
ployes operating such cars such pro
tection. With the rejection of all offers of a
base on which the striking streetcar
men and the officials of the traction
company might get together for the
arbitration of their differences. Seattle
tonight awaits the next move of the
disputants with mingled interest and
doubt. Both sides appear to be firm
in their determination not to budge, the
car company on the reiterated refusal
to recognize the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Street and Electrical Railway
Employes of America, and the deter
mination of the striking employes not
to surrender that principle, namely, the
right to organize and affiliate with
whom they please.
Strikebreakers Are Ready.
This is the snag "upon which the dis
cussion has grounded at every confer
ence. At the Georgetown carshops E35 im
ported strikebreakers are in readiness
to operate streetcars whenever the
company issues the order. Reports
reached Seattle tonight that five more
carloads of strikebreakers are en route
to the city, coming from St. Louis,
which will increase the total to 700.
Elaborate preparations to take care
of the imported men have been made
by the company officials; barricades
have been erected at the barns and
shops: large quantities of beddiAg and
provisions have been sent to each barn
under police escort. The strikebreakers
have been put through a course of
training in the operation of cars be
hind the barricaded inclosures.
President Leonard issued another
statement amplifying his declination to
deal with the Amalgamated, in which
he said:
"The company is not willing to deal
with a union of its trainmen affil
ated with the Amalgamated Association
of Street and Electrical Railway Em
ployes of America.
"The company's refusal to deal with
the Amalgamated Association or any
union of its men under the Influence
or domination of that association is
based upon its reputation for bad faith,
broken . promises and violated agree
ments, extending over a period of many
years. That association has repeatedly
broken its argreefnents, to the detri
ment of the public, the companies and
the employes of the companies under
its domination."
Meantime the company, not having
indicated any intention of attempting
to run its cars, the jitney bus flour
ishes, and today fully 1000 cars are on
the streets, to say nothing of automo
bile trucks, wagons and other vehicles.
Everything mobile except horse-drawn
vehicles has been utilized, and it is a
feature of the strike that not a horse
seems to be in harness for the trans
portation of passengers.
Jitney busses from Portland are
much in evidence today. British Colum
bia has also sent over a large delega
tion, and some drivers say that they
came from Spokane to harvest the crop
of nickels and dimes that is here to be
garnered on the short-distance runs.
It is expected that by Sunday 1500
motor cars of many patterns and peri
ods will be on the streets of Seattle.
At that, thousands will walk.
DEFENSE COUXCIIj HOPEFUL
Dr. Suzzalo Thinks Xest "Week May
See Peace Established.
OLTMPIA, -Wash.. July 28. (Spe
cial.) Indications tonight are that
Monday's session of the State Council
of Defense may see a satisfactory set
tlement of lumber and streetcar strikes
in this state. Dr. Henry Suzzalo, chair
man of the council, returned to Olympla
headquarters today after a week of
scarcely Interrupted effort in Seattle
to arrange conciliatory conferences be
tween employers and employes in all
lines now involved .'n disputes and ex
pressed a hope that next week will see
peace established.
Monday's session ofvthe State Council
will be given entirely, if necessary, to
completing details of readjustment.
Preliminary conferences between em
ployers and employes have already been
ertected, and a willingness on the part
of associated employers to confer with
the men is believed to be rapidly be
coming general.
The conference called at Raymond
between V illapa Harbor employers and
employes is exr-cted to bav an excel
lent effect all over the state and at
least to settle local differences. Labor
leaders are confident c- winning an
eight-hour day even if universal recog
nition is not successful.
The State Council of Defense has
under consideration an offer of the War
Department to arm and equip home
guards companies upon application of
the Governor. A. provisional state guard
of 1600 men now in process of organi
zation has already been provided with
arms at state expense. The Council of
Defense will decide whether there is
need of accepting the Government of
fer to procure additional rifles.

Only 10 Per Cent of Industry Work
ing on 8-Hour Basis Operators
Contend They Cannot Safely
Meet Demands of Strikers.
SEATTLE. Wash.. July 28. (Spe
cial.) Ninety per cent of the lumber
men of Washington fought their way
through the second weeTt of the general
strike of mill operatives and are pre
pared, . without recessions from their
ranks, to go on until the strike is
broken. This was the announcement
today of K. S. Grammer. chairman of
the executive committee of the lum
bermen known as the Protective
League.
Lumbermen who have been closely
Identified with the league said they
were fighting for a principle and the
welfare of the industry in Washing
ton, and would not yield. Chairman
Grammer stated that such mills over
the state as have opened on the eight
hour basis are not members of the
league but. representing only 10 per
cent of the total, would not offer any
particular influences in deciding the
contest.
"We are not fighting the eight-hour
measure." said Mr. Grammer. "They
s not a mill owner in the state who
would not shout for joy if he read in
the papers, tomorrow that President
Wilson had declared a uniform eight
hour law in the lumber industry. We
simply cannot grant it and do business
under the advantages thus given to our
competitors, and we certainly don t
propose to do so."
J. G. Brown, president of the Inter
national Shingle Weavers' Union, re
turned today from Raymond, where he
attended a conference of mill owners
and workers relative to bringing the
strike to an end. No action was taken.
President Brown stating that the meet
ing was deferred.
Four mills at Tacoma are reported to
have announced that they will re-open
Monday "under the eight-hour sched
ule. Two logging camps in the Ray
mond district, it is said, have signed
up. These were the only changes in
the situation today reported to "union
headquarters.
SHIPBUILDING TIE-FP FACED
Carpenters Agree Xot to Handle
Lumber From Xon-Fnion Mills.
ABERDEEN. Wash., July 28. (Spe
cial.) Grays Harbor ship carpenters,
acting in sympathy with the mil', work
ers and loggers now out on strike, have
notified their employers that they will
handle no lumber cut in non-union
mills. This means the closing of Grays
Harbor's four shipyards unless the saw
mill strike is settled, for no mills here
are operated on a union basis.
The thipyard Laborers Lnion will
pass a similar resolution tonight. Sev
eral Government (ships are under con
struction here, and a strike of the ship
yard workers, it is believed, may lead
to Government intervention.
The Aberdeen Trades and Labor
Council has gone on record as being
willing to do all in its power to help
the mill workers and loggers eet their
demands.

AMERICAN TRAININO CAMP IN
FRANCE. July 28. An American Gen
eral returned to camp today from a
brief but interesting visit to the French
front. He plans to go again soon and
with him will probably go many other
officers.
Wearing a French shrapnel helmet
and with a gas mask slung about hia
neck, he Inspected the trenches, includ
ing bits of the front line. As very little
can be seen of the fighting from the
trenches, - however, the General later
climbed into an observation post, high
in a stalwart old tree, where he spent
an hour or so with the shells swishing
around him in all directions. One shell
broke within about 200 feet of where
the party was located, but it caused no
undue coirmotion.
The General was much impressed
with all he saw. especially the details
of the organization behind the lines
features to which the Americans will
have to devote an immense amount of
attention.
Three German airplanes attempted to
cross the French lines during the Gen
eral visit yesterday, but all were
turned back by French aircraft and
artillery. One of the members of the
General's staff, a former aviator, was
taken up in a French plane for a brief
trip over the German lines.
The General, in full fighting regalia,
was an imposing figure and attracted
the admiration of the poilua in the
trenches.

Secrets of the
Famous Black Bag
Not even the German Secret Service could fathom the
secrets of the little black bag that Ambassador Gerard
guarded so jealously on the long journey from Berlin to
Washington. Questions, attempts to purloin it, intrigues
to gain access to its contents, all failed. .
Asked in Washington what it contained, Mr. Gerard
smiled and said,
"What? Why, it's the 'dope' for my book. As a private
citizen I can be an author now, you know."
i
Ambassador Gerard's book has now been written. In
it he gives the first authentic,' detailed recital of what
actually happened in Germany before the United States
