pot In Delaware Is beginning to boll
furiously with the approach of the
contest which will be waged in the
legislature over the election of two
United States senators. Possibility
that tho eight regular republicans
who hold tho balance of power be
tween the democrats and the Addicks
republicans will make a combination
with either elde has set all the poli
ticians to figuring.
indication of the attitude of the
regulars will be given next Monday
night, when three caucuses will be
held here to prepare for the organiza'
tlon of tho legislature next day. It
is understood that the democrats will
also plan whereby the democrats will
nominate their own officers, but will
also appoint a committee to secretly
meet the regular republicans to agree
to some plan whereby the democrats
will aid tho regulars in the organiza
tion of both houses, putting regulars
In every office, to tho complete de
feat of the Addicks followers.
It Is believed that the union repub
licans, who are determined to vote
for J. Edward Addicks for United
States senator for both of the present
vacancies until he Is elected to one,
will also confer with tho regulars con
cerning organization. The senatori
al caucuses of the three factions will
be held Monday night, January 13.
Then the candidates for the two va

Critical Situation on the Union Paci

New York, Jan. 2. In pursuance
of the Invitation sent by President
Harrlman to the leaders of tho strik
ing Union Pacific bollermakers, to
meet him In conference, President
McNeil, of the International Boiler-
maKers union, and president u uon-
noil, of the International Machlnlts'
Union, arrived In this city today.
Other labor leaders interested In
tho strike situation on the Union Pa
cific are also here, and it Is thought
an early settlement will be reached,
owing to the intolerable condition of
traffic on tho Union Pacific.
The motive power Is absolutely un
fit for use. For six months no expert
work has been done on boilers and en
gines ,on account of tho strike. Poor
workmen, boys, "scabs" and helpers
have patched up defects until now
-the power situation Is critical.
The Union Pacific has received In
timation from tho government that
mail contracts would be cancelled If
conditions do not immediately im
prove. The boileimakcrs have had the un
divided sympathy and support of all
other railroad organizations and they
can hold out all winter If necessary.
Winter has added to the serious
ness of the situation as snow block'
