SNIKPOH PLAY
CLASSY SKETCH
High School Students Ap
proach Professional Ability
in Annual Event
The play given by the .Snikpoh
Pramatic bociety at the high school
last night drew a large crowd, con
sidering the weather and counter
attractions. The storv was of a rich woman
who imagined she was the victim
of fcbout six diseases and was tak
ing a different medicine for each of
them, and who did not go to the
coast because the salt air was not
good for her. only to get Into a
tangle with a dear friend with whom
arrangements had been made to
marry her husband when she died
Telling numerous lies and getting
I'ncle John into all kinds of trouble
it was he who had to lie out of them
against hU will. Irene Randolph
the rich woman, nearly gets th
fiance of her friend and her hus
band into a fight, but everything
came out right in the end.
The play was cut through with
a snap and punch. A number of se
lections were played by the high
school orchestra under the direction
of Professor T. A. Davidson.
The members of the society tak
Ing part in the play were Miss Letha
Wilson. Miss Margaret Griffith
Ralph Wilson. Evan Jones. Paul
Staley an.i Hilda Tillinghast.
Miss Wilson's interpretation of
the leading role of Irene Randolph
was so clear as to approach profes
sional class, and as much can be
said of Ralph Wilson, who played
Uncle John Belden. They were con
kslstently supported by the remainder
of the cast.

"We appreciate, however, that
owing to present economic conditions
over which we have no control, and
the fact that the situation has been
grossly misrepresented by irrespon
sible persons. Who have assumed
dictatorship of an unorganized body
of men, that it will be difficult for
us to entirely relieve the situation
until we have had further oppor
tunity to meet and talk with our;
members. We believe the railroads
will co-operate with us to that end."
Senate Order lnbe.
Important developments were the
ordering of an investigation of the
strike by the United States senate
and an announcement by WL G.
Lee. president of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, that the brother
hood would oppose any attempt to
settle the walkout by mediation.
The strike had become a clear-
cut fight between the recognized
railroad organizations and the radi
cal element among the rail workers.
brotherhood officers said. The
brotherhoods claim that freirht
traffic in Chicago was 50 per cent of
normal was countered by the rebel
assertion that the tie-up had become
mp re. .nearly complete.
The question of wages and hours
had become of secondary importance
according to John Grunau. nresi
dent of the Chicago Yardmen's as
sociation, which called the original
walkout.
Strike Radical Move.
"The fight has become one of su
premacy between the new and the
old nnions." Grunau said. Ve
railroad men are tired of receiving
'nothing but promises from our lead
ers. We demand results."
An optimistic statement was Is
sued today by the Western General
Managers' association, composed of
managers of ail roads entering Chi
cago.

ItjmIo Make Statement.
CLEVELAND. Ohio. April 9. A
signed statement was Issued here to
night by the chiefs of the four big
transportation brotherhoods. sayln
the present strike or switrnnien was
originated for the purpose of de
stroying the Hrotherhood or Rail-
toad Trainmen and the Switchmen'
I'nlon of North America, and that
the wage demand later was injected
for the purpose of deceiving yard
men throughout the country and
promoting the "One Dig Union'
idea. The statement follows:
"The present strike ct men en
gaged in switching service was orig
inated in Chicago by a new organi
sation that has for Its purpose the
destruction of the Ilrotherbood of
Railroad Trainmen and the Switch
men's union and in its inception had
nothing to do with the wage ques
tion, but was a demand for the re
instatement of the leader of this
opposition organization. After this
ttrike was Instituted for this pur
pose, the leaders of the new organ
ization then Injected the wage ques
tion for the sole purpose of deceiv
ing the yardmen throughout the
United States and to promote the
"One Big Union" idea. There can
be no settlement of the pending
wage question while this illegal ac
tion continues. We insist that every
member of these brotherhoods do
everything within their power to
preserve their existing contracts
which, if abrogated, may take year
to rebuild. The laws of all of these
organizations provide penalties for
members engaging in Illegal striken
and these will be enforced.
