3. P. EMBARGO ON AGAIN
(Continued from page one)
Tho offoct oftho condition, It was
pointed out by union lendorR, would
be to leave the roads free to hire such
strikers as were wanted, turning
down others permanently In favor of
men whq joined tho shop forces since
the strike. Such condition could not
bo accepted by the unions, spokesmen
wild, and It seemed almost certain
here that tho big four operative
brotherhoods wero determined to
support this stand.
4 l!iit hoi hoods Hold Key
In many quarters It was bollovod
the real key to tho situation was hold
by tho four rullwuy brothorhoods ami
that the attitude of their officials and
the extent of their support would de
termine In a largo measure the action
p'. the striking crafts. Though It
had boon said tho striking shopmen's
chiefs had prepared a statement re
jecting the president's proposal, the
fact that this statement had heen
withheld from publication up to the

taken as an indication that there
still was a possibility they might re

that no decision would bo forthcom

nection some significance attached
to the statement ot I,. 10. Sheppard,

said that mediation nnd compromise

P.OSISVIME, Cul., Aug. 14. A
conference between members of the
big four railroad brotherhoods and
railroad executives was to he held

ed, In an effort to bring about the re
turn to work of some 70 trulnment

fective equipment and becuuse of tho
prosonce of armed guards In the rail
road shops and yards.

early today for the east nftor engine
crews had been obtained to take the
places of mon, members of "big four"
brotherhood locals of Roseville, who
loft their posts. It was announced here
by General Mannger Dyer of the South
ern Pacific coast lines:
Westbound Southern Pacific trains
numbers ono, nineteen nnd twenty-one
which were due hore early this morn
ing through the Ogdon gateway, were
expected here about noon, It also was
suited.
Not a passenger train on the South
ern Pacific systom in the north was
stalled or had been annulled. General
Manager Dyer declared. It further
was announced thnt passenger tlckots
were bolng sold to all destinations and
that the only cmhnrgo was on fruit and
other perishables and livestock. All
othor freight, It was stated, was bolng
accepted "subject to delay."
RATON, N. M., Aug. 14. Local offic
ials of the big four brotherhoods here
today wired to national headquarters
for sanction for a walkout of all mem
bors of the organization employed on
tho Santa Fo railroad bore: The tele
gram sots forth the conditions under
which tho members are working as a
reason for the walkout.

thern, nnd con t nil California lost their
only remaining rail line east bo far as
fast freight transportation was con
cerned at mtdnlKht last n Ik lit nnd
seemed In a fair way to lose this route
also for passenger traffic as a result
of tho spread of the transportation
brotherhood walkouts to Roseville nnd
Sacramento. Tho principal line north
ulso was lost to fast freight traffic,
A numbor of Southern Pacific
switchyard employes nt Roseville quit
work Into yesterday nnd at' midnight
tho rnllrond officlnls declared mi em

ing livestock, for points north of Gor

plained thnt this meant freight traffic
was impossible nt present over the
company's Ogden route east nnd Its
Slinata route to Portland, Oro., nnd

ly serious situation for fruit growers
of northern California.

the only route remaining over which
passenger traffic can flow east and

The lino from Salt Lake to Los An
geles wns blocked solidly by refusal
of brotherhood men nt several points,
chiefly Las' Vegas, N M to move
trains. This rond planned to detour
two of Its trains over Southern Pacific
trackage but what effect tho strike nt
Roseville would have on this had not
been made clenr early today,
i Tho Western Pacific, operating be
tween Salt Lake City, was blocked
completely by walkouts nt Orovillo,
Oakland nnd Stockton, Cal., nnd an
nounced that traffic was "suspended
indefinitely."
Only one train wns handled upon
this lino, it wns nt Stockton and all
but a Tew of those aboard had proceed
ed to their destinations by other means
or returned to San Francisco. There
. - xsstn PD
were no trains held at isolated points
on the Southern Pacific or Union Pa
cific early looay but on the Santa Ke
nineteen westbound ones were ma-
'rooned and one was feeling its way
from Needles where it had been held
three days with prospects doubtful as
to how far It would get. Approximate
ly 1700 passengers on the trains, six of
which were at Albuquerque and the
others at Seligman, Williams and
South Fork.
Passengers Ask Aid
A telegram from President Harding
to Governor Campbell of Arizona, of
fering aid for those aboard the trains,
' remained unanswered because the gov
ernor was traveling and had not re
ceived it. The passengers marooned
at Albuquerque telegraphed President
Harding urging that he take command
of the situation.
The Santa Fe planned to try to move
two trains west from Seligman today.
At I.os Angeles preliminary steps
were taken yesterday to make an In
vestigation into the origin of the walk
outs of the Santa Fe to determine whe
ther they were the result of a conspir
acy. Attorney General Duugherty in or
dering the Inquiry Instructed that evi
dence discovered he taken before a
grand Jury if sufficient to warrant that
step and the Los Angeles officials in
charge or the investigation declared
the "public must and shall be protected
at all costs.' '
Strikers Hold Food
Governor Boyle of Nevada was at
Las Vegas today inquiring, according
to a statement given the Associated
Press, Into apparent discrepancies in
statements made by railroad officials
and civil officials at that place regard
ing the situation. About 150 guards
nnd railroad employes virtually were
prisoners at Las Vegas, the men on
strlko refusing to allow food to be
taken to tho enclosure where they
wero quartered.
The Southern Pacific's double em
bargo was a hard blow to the fruit
growing Interests, already hard hit by
tho steps on the other lines. It meant
that it would be impossible, because of
the switchyard employes Btrlke at
Roseville to give cars loaded with fruit
even the necessary first Icing before
they wero started on the round-about
Journey east from northern California
by way of Los Angeles and El Paso.
The main icing plant for the whole
northern California section Is In the
Roseville yards and without switch
men working there, cars cannot be
tuken to it.
LORD NORTHCLIFFE DIES

Kent to CnlU-d States.
Lord Northcliffo hud pointed out
that America was wise In remaining
out of tho war until Germany forced
her to act. Becauso of his acquain
tance with American conditions.
Lloyd George provniled on him to ac
cept his first public office, contrary
to his resolution, nnd Northcliffe
came to tho United StateH as bend
of tho Hrltiah mission in which ho di
rected the work of some BOO offic
ials and 10,000 nsslHtantH.
For his services to tho govern
ment In thin nnd other respects he
was made viscount. Returning to
England ho was offered the post of
air minister. This evoked a letter
In which Viscount Northcliffe sharply
criticized tho British conduct in the
war. In declining to accept tho po
sition, ho declared, that while the
United States was preparing with fer
vor and enthusiasm for the war, Kng
land wabbled for two years over con
scription, wns dallying with the ques
tion of unity of wnr control, eradica
tion of sedition, mobilization of tho
whole man and woman power of the
country and Introduction of compul
sory food rations.
"I feel that I can do better work
if I maintain my independence nnd
am not gagged by a loyalty that I do
not feel toward tho whole of your
demonstration," he wrote to Mi.
Lloyd Gerge. Ho denounced the
"absurd secrecy about the wnr."
which he said, was still prevalent nnd
gave warning that "unless thero is
swift improvement in our methods
here, tho United States will rightly
take Into its own hands the entire
management of a great part of the
war. It will not sacrifice its blood
and treasure to tho incompetent
handling of tho affairs of Europe."
Viscount Northcliffe, however, ac
cepted tho post of director of propa
ganda in enemy countries and for the
remainder of tho war directed an or
ganisation In the nations which had
agents In Germany and Austria and
an extensivo organization in tho na
tions bordering on them.
With tho armistice and tho subsc-
qurrft appointment of Winston Chur
chill ns minister of munitions, Vis
count Northcliffe who long hud been !
hostllo to Churchill, turned against j
Lloyd George nnd attacked him. This
evoked from tho premier n scathing i
speech of criticism against tho news
paper proprietor In the house of com-1
1110ns. This incident was pointed to I
ns in keeping with the previous atti
tude of Northcliffo who. It wns said,
never failed to criticize friend or foe
alike, if ho deemed their actions In
public life Justified it.
Lord Northcliffo was ill nt the time
tho armistice was signed. His Illness
was diagnosed as duo to adenoma of.
the thyroid gland, for which he
underwent an operation In June. 1919.
Although he was incapacitated, he
exerted considerable influence on the!
British government during tho pcow
conference at Versailles.
Nortlirttffc Boycotted.
Finns wero made enrly In 1!21 for
a world four. The stnrt wns delayed j
until July because of labor trouble,
Involving tho publishing Industry,
and n renewnl of hostilities between!
iloyd George nnd himself. Lord
Northcliffe attacked the motives of
tho premier and , -Marquis Clinton In
desiring to represent Great Britain
AM anrl IfrtimMrd
at the Washington jhtum Kiiffn'iir".
As a result of this .iitjo l , i , nnn'M

each country he visited, di;ila. ins
great knowledge of the problems fac
ing various nations. Arriving in New
York, July 'Z'.i, 1921, be warmly en
dorsed President Harding's plans for
tho armament conference. In Aus
tralia he saw a grave danger In that
country being overrun by Asiatics,
and in several addresses revealed an
intimate knowledge of Australia's na
tional problems. During his tour of
the Pacific he made a close study of
the situation In the far east, and in
Hongkong expressed the opinion that
the Anglo-Japanese ailinpee was n
bar to its solution. Ho returned to
liondon from hl tour in May, J922.
In June he was reported to have
made a tour of Germany Incognito.
LHx'l Suit Dropicd.
Shortly after tho completion of his
world tour, differences grew In the
Newspaper Proprietors' association
over wag scales, Lord Northcliffe
criticising certain methods of the
newer members of tho association. He
later resigned.
In May, 1922, dissension broke out
between Northcliffe and cither mem
bers of the Associated Newspapers,
Ltd., owners of the Northcliffe press.
In June, 192 2, libel suits were
brought against Lord Northcliffo by
Sir Andrew Calrd, vice-chairman,
nnd Walter G. Fish, a director of As
sociated Newspapers.
The day on which the announce
ment of the filing of these suits was
made, Northcliffe was reported to be
suffering from a nervous breakdown
in Switzerland. He was brought back
to England several days later, nnd
was reported then to be ill from pto
maine poisoning.
Early in July his differences with
Lloyd Georgo were said to have been
ended and the libel actions brought
by Fish and Caird wero said to have
been dropped. His health, however,
continued to grow worse, his ailment
being diagnosed ns due to "unknown
poisoning."
A Super-Man.
In no country, it has been assorted,
did a man In civil, life so constantly
ns Lord Northcliffe occupy tho pub
lic eye, or labor so consistently for his
country and Its allies nnd to bring
confusion nnd defent upon the Ger
mans. Of the attitude of the British
pepolo toward him, it has been said
"they hate him nnd they admire him;
but try ns they may, they ennnot be
Indifferent to him."
At the conclusion of the wnr he
nnd Lloyd George were character
ized ns tho "two strongest personalis
ticH In British life."
Born in Chapellzod, Ireland, July
15. 18G5. Alfred Charles William
Harmsworth, ' Viscount Northcliffe,
started his career as a subordinate
editor in u publishing house writing
answers to correspondents. This sug
gested to him n newspaper career,
which he embarked upon by publi
cation of n weekly magazine called
"Answers." Succeeding in this and
other ventures in " publication, he
eventually founded -the London Daily
Mail, the first London morning news
paper to sell for a half penny. Ho is
