The railroad officials believe they con prevent a strike by asking tho government to stop m and take com mand of the situation. The Erdmann act passed in 1898 pro vides for tho arbitration of labor differ ences, where interstate commerce is in volved, by the chairman of tho Inter state Commerce commission and the commissioner of labor. The strike has been agreed upon al ready by the railroad employes by ret erendum vote. lhe olncers were au thorized to call tho men out if the terms put up tc the railroad managers were not accepted.

SCHMITZ TO PROVE INNOCENCE. Says He Will Then Give no Quarter in Libel Suits. San Francisco, March 28. In a statement today to the Associated Press, Mavor Schmitz denies the truth of charges published in the local papers to the effect that the prosecution has abundant evidence that Schmitz profit ed to tho extent of not less than $602,- 000 from participation in tho boodling opeiations now being investigated by the grand jury. "These charges," said the mayor are maliciously lalse, and as soon as I am afforded the legal opportunity, shall prove them to be so." After de daring that he is anxious for a speedy trial, ho says: "It is notoriously unfair that should be brought to trial before any judge in tins city and county," all of whom he alleges to be biased, and de clares it is outrageous that he should be kept "for months under this foul cloud with the prospect that tho trial will be delayed for another four months." The mayor says this is no time for libel suits, but, when he has been tried and judged by a jury, he will give no quarter. Charge Based on Wreck. Now York, March 28. Indictments charging manslaughter in the Eecond degree were returned today against the New lork Central railroad, Ira A. Mc Cormick, general superintendent of the company, and Alfred II.

Knapp and Neill Will Attempt to Ad just Railroad Dispute. Chicago, March 29. Government in tervention will be tried in an effort to avert the great railroad strike which threatens to paralyze the business of the West. In response to the appeal of tho railioad managers, Chairman Knapp, of tho Interstate Commerecom mission, and Commissionoi of Labor Neill will arrive in Chicago Saturday morning and offer mediation in the controvorsv. Failing to adjust the matter in a conciliatory manner, they will endeavor to bring about arbitra tion under the provisions of tho Lrd mann law. The labor chiefs will await the ar rival of the government officials beforj ordering a strike. If the good offices of Mr. Knapp and Mr. Neill result in bringing greater concessions tc the em ployes than have yet been offered, the strike may be averted. The employes, however, say thev will not accept arbi tration and todav again declared their position that nothing short of greater concessions irom the railroads will pro- vent them from walking out. President Roosevelt has been follow ing closely the developments in the sit uation here and Messrs. Knapp and Neill will undertake the delicate wcrk imposed on them by law with full con sciousness that tho president is ex treme!) solicitous that all differences be settled by arbitration. The general managers said lhat no attempt would bo made to operate trains if the employes struck.
