"The vote was piling Up just about a tie, aa the end waa reached, and the Yakimas went over to McBrlde's side, and the 31a was tin."

' 5an Francisco, Sept. 11. -A secVet has Jest been brought to light which will probably be the source of more anxiety to railroad circles than any move that has been made in many a day. It not only will affect the officials of railroads, but 'Is of vital interest to every railway employe in the entire West. It has just been given out that the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood ofs Railroad Trainmen have united, thus forming the largest and most far reaching union in the History tf riflroang."" ; r - SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11. Tho combining of the Order of Railway Con ductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen Is the topic of conversation in railroad circles as the coming together of these two unions unites employes of every railroad west of Chicago. Evidence of the ability of those who had the organisation In hand la shown by the fact that the matter has been kept a secret from the outside world since last June, at which time the combination was affected at a meeting held In Kansas City. Chairman W. V. Stafford, of the ex ecutive council, states that It Is the In tention to demand an increase of wages of SO pr- cent. Some one line will be selected on which to make the demand and this will be used as a test case, and i ir the first road on which the demand is made grants the concession all the other roads will be asked to do the same In their turn. In case the demands of the Union are met with refusal It will in all probability result in the tying up of every railroad 'n the West. KAISER CHARGED. Won Immense Victory in Mimic Battle Today.

Much anxiety la being expressed aa the membership of these professions in this country Is comprised of the most Illiterate and dangerous class of people who would not hesitate to commit crime in order to accomplish their purpose.

' MARINE STRIKE Not Much-Change Since Yesterday : OeRe&Ne Other Lines Are Operating With J Non-Union En- u gineers. ' The Marine Engineer strike sltuatlo . . remains practically unchanged. All en gineers are vacating their positions as fast as the boats arrive, but new crews are being secured, for many of them. In fact the O. R. 4 N. boats are about tha only ones which are tied up.
