STRIKERS MAKE DENIAL ( '
. Striking switchmen deny that any ap
preciable number of men have returned
to i work, claiming that matters remain
practically as they were late Saturday
night. . i
W, J. Babe, deputy national vice preii
debt of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, stated a meeting of the local
union men was held Sunday night to
discuss measures for relief of the situa
tion, i
Several meeting were held toy the
"rebel" strikers Sunday, according to R.
E. Charters, but no matters were decided
upon which . could be made public
1We are determined to see our de-
minds granted," said Charters. "We be
lieve we are right in demanding living
wages, which we certalntly are not get
ting it now. I do! not believe that the
reports that men are returning to work
are true, certainly not as many men as
the railroads claim.
HO TIOIEITCE PXAHHED
t'l want to say again that there will
be! no violence. I i don't believe any of
our men opened the switch, which was
reported opened in the Brooklyn yards
Saturday night. j "
"We are peaceful in our demands, but
we are determined; The threat to hlret
new men to fill our places is useless,
for they cant get the men, not enough
to fill the places all over the country."
The freight embargo has not been
lifted, and all work being done in the
yards is on shipping already billed.
la addition to the 43 men now avail
able, the. Southern Pacific holds out
hope for two more crews of six men
being placed at work today and the S.
P., A 8. officials believe they will mus
ter in one new crew. With these possi
bilities fulfilled.' a total of 61 men would
be working in the district tonight. Sat

50 and 60 men Were working,
see ARE ISLE
Strikers are standing solidly behind
their demands drafted at their mass
meeting Saturday night. It is estimated
that close to 300 are actually on strike
and that an additional 300 enginemen.
and yardmen are Inactive because trains
are unable to move without the switch-
men. i -
i Three different tacks are being taken:
by the O-W. R. N.. Southern Pacific;
and S., P. A 8.. tn handling the strike
situation. Comment of the S.. P. A 8,
; men was that they were "merely await-,
ing developments.?
Officials of the tO-W. said this morni
ing that they were placing the local sit-i
uation entirely in the hands of the
Brotherhood men, as the walkout was
really a rebellion against the unions.
Public' statements were not made by the
officials.
HEGARDED AS SHORTAGE
On the Southern Pacific, officials of
the operating department took the stand
that they no longer had a strike on 'their
hands, but merely a labor shortage,
which would be minimized as rapidly as
hew men could b obtained.
Announcement i was mad Saturday
night by J. H. Dyer that the names of
the strikers nan been stricken from tneieraton ot Labor are in conference ' to

CAMOUFLAGE SAT STRIKERS
This evidence of activity in the, local
freight yards was branded by strike
leaders as "camouflage" on the part of
officials. They pointed to the tact that
of the 42 switchmen the railroads claim
were available $0 men were working on
the first trick, leaving only a total of
four 'crews available for the next two
tricks.
. "By moving a few trains around the
local yards, the railroad leaders' hope to
convince us that they have plenty-of meri
to move their freight," said one striker
this morning. "We will see whether
the railroads do much shifting this aft
ernoon or tonight."
At other : points in the Northwest the
strike clouds seem, to be breaking away
and everyone concerned in the local is
sue, except the strikers themselves, be
Ileves that a rift will .appear in the
cloud hanging over Portland at least
by Tuesday morning.
Ability of the railroads to move some
freight this morning stayed brotherhood
leaders from taking drastic action which
they threatened Saturday. Conferences
were held ; Sunday and are being held
today, with railroad officials .and the
strikers by W. J. BSbe, deputy national
vice president of the Brotherhood of
Haiiway irainmen, ana jr. u. noons,
secretary of the same organisation on
the O-W., I in an effort to bring about
conciliation.
AtJ -meeting of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen Sunday afternoon,
decision was mads that all striking
switchmen who hold memberships tn
that organisation must return to work
at 4 o'clock this afternoon or lose their
memberships.

LOU EXPECTED
TO TIE ILL1
Washington, April 12, (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF, THE JOURNAL.)
On Tuesday, April 1J,' the Republican
voters of - Illinois will : declare their
presidential choice of tne primaries' be
tween Governor Frank O. 'Lowden .of
that state and General Leonard Wood.
The general belief here is that Low
den wilt have no difficulty in carrying
the state, but that Wood will poll a large
vote In some sections of the state. While
n is not expeecea tnat xtowoen wui iow
any delegates, there will be no surprise
if Wood draws enough votes to keep the
Lowden people from bragging about tne
result.
LOWDEN TOTE mSAFP0rjriT5G
Lowden has not shown so strongly in
the primaries in other states as his
friends had hoped. ' His vote in South
Dakota and in Minnesota was disap
pointing to his friends., and In Michigan
only a .little better. So if Wood makes
inroads in Illinois, Lowden will be
greatly weakened. Should he fall below
60 per cent of the total 'vote, he will be
badly damaged.
Lowden has ali the surface Indications
in his favor. He has the solid support
of the congressional delegation, all the
way from "Wayback Billy" Mason and
"Uncle Joe" Cannon- to Irreconcilable
Medill McCormick and Incorrigible
"Larry" Sherman. The, state organiza
tion is behind him. and practically all
the leaders of the Bull Moose movement,
including radicals like Harold L. Ickes
and Frank H. Funk, have lined up for
him.
TRUCE PATCHES UP
William Hale Thompson, mayor of
Chicago, who was practically accused of
disloyalty by Lowden: during the war.
and has an extensive machine of his own
in Chicago, does not love Lowden yet.
but has patched up a truce with the
governor and Is not opposing him, prob
ably because he still less prefers a mili
tary man like Wood. The vote ror
Wood in Illinois will : therefore be dis
tinctly an independent! vote, cast against
a favorite son because those who vote
for him really want-him.
Following the reverse in Michigan,
the expected defeat of -Wood in Illinois
probably will be claimed as a "finishing
touch" by the anti-Wood forces, but po
litical analysists here ' do not so regard
it. They consider Ldwden' on' trial in
Illinois rather than Wood.
NO DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
The Wood managers' did not enter can
didates for delegates., in the primaries,
so the delegates chosen will in any event
be those chosen by the Lowden ele
ment down state and 'th Thompson ma-
Chine in Chicago. The Wood strength
will be manifested directly in the pref
erence vote for president.
There is no Democratic candidate for
president on the ballot Governor Ed
wards, the New Jersey wet, was the only
one for whom a petition was filed, and
that was withdrawn by his request,- so
the Illinois delegation will go to San
Francisco without instructions.
POLITICS WARMING UP IN
OOOS AND CTJilRY COUNTIES
Marshfield. April 12 It was stated by
Charles Hall that he would at once file
as a candidate for the Republican nom
tnatloh for state senator from Coos and
Curry counties. H will, . in the
primaries, be an opponent of I. S.
Smith, who has been, senator from this
district for several terms.
Hall Is president of the State Chamber
of Commerce, member of the State Fish
Commission, president of the Bank of
Southwestern Oregon of Marshfield, and
head of the local telephone company.
He has been active throughout the state
and is a member of Various committees
on statewide work, i
The laboring men of this locality, it
s said, intend having; a candidate in the
field for member of the lower house of
the legislature. It Is 'also probable that
there will be a candidate for tbe Re
publican nomination for the legislature.
