ALLEGES BREACH OF PROMISE Former Marine Sues Daughter of Rich Californian. - Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 20.—Russell Clark, a former marine, formerly of the battleship Minnesota, filed suit against Miss Grace Vedder, daughter of former Mayor Vedder, for $25,000 damages for breach of promise. Clark’s p.tition recites that when the fleet was at Santa Barbara last year he met Miss Vedder, who was in that city enjoying the festivities inci- dent to the visit of the ships. He overstayed his leave and rejoined his ship at Monterey, she promising to marry him when he left the service. Accordingly, he says, when his term of enlistment was up, after completin~ the world voyage, he left the service Sept. 6 last. On Nov. 25 he reached Pasadena to claim his bride, but Miss Vedder told him she was going to mar- ry another man. MARINES HURRYING " 10 NGARAGU! Will Be Landed at Corinto to Protect Americans. Corinto, Nicaragua, Dec. 20.—The dispatch of the United States cruiser Buffalo, with 700 marines aboard, from Panama to this city, is expected to have an adverse influence on the can- didacy of Dr. Jose Madriz to succeed Zelaya as president of Nicaragua. The Buffalo is now speeding here from Panama and will probably reach here in a day or two. It is announced that the marines will not be landed unless Americans in Managua or their prop- erty are menaced. The recognized op- position of the American government to Madriz by reason of his close affili- ation with Zelaya has already had a tendency to check the Madriz enthu- siasm and it is said that this will cause the Nicaraguan congress to choose another man for the position. The other man mentioned is Dr. Jul- ian‘Irias, another friend of Zelaya but not so closely allied with the former president. Irias would probably be acceptable as a president A to the American government, but hope is still entertained that the United States will yet recognize Provisional Presi- dent Estrada.

RAILWAY LABOR MEN IN SESSION Important Conference Under Way at §t. Paul PLAN TO AID SWITCHMEN If a Bympathetic Strike s Decided on the Representatives of the Unions In Attendance Could Order Out Fifty Thousand Men in the Terri- tory Afiected—May Appoint Com- mittee to Confer With Railroads Be- fore Taking Any Action. St. Paul, Dec. 20.—The railway divi- sion of the American Federation of Labor is in session at the Foley hotel. The ten affiliated railroad organiza- tions, of which the Switchmen’s union, now on strike in the Northwest, is one, are represented. The convention wds called to order with one delegate from each organization present. After being in session for some time President Perham of the confer- ence said that it is impossible at this time to state what action would be taken with reference to the switch- men’s strike. “We may be in session two or three days,” he said, “before we reach any decision in this matter. We shall go over all the reports of conditions in the Northwest and our action will be gulded largely by what\they show.” Askeq about the rumors of & sym- pathetic strike being ordered Presi- dent Perham said: Other Unions Have Grievances. “I cannot say now that we will or- der a strike. We have authority to do so, without referring the matter back to our unions, if we deem it nec- essary. We have some grievances of our own as to conditions and we have no contracts with the roads which would prevent us from ordering strikes of the several affiliated unions. “If we decide on a strike it would bring out in support of the switchmen about 50,000 men all told in that part of the Northwest territory affected by the switchmen’s strike. “I cannot say at this time whether we will appoint a committee to confer with the railroads here before action is taken by us. Our organization pre- vented the Southeastern roads in 1908 from enforcing a cut of 10 per cent in the salaries of their employes and that was our first experience in mat- ters of this nature. This is our sec- ond-and is the first time that we have undertaken a strike settlement.” Governor Eberhart has not yet de- cided whether to ask for a conference between the railroads and the strikers with a view to arbitration. HILL TALKS ABOUT THESTRIKE Says It Is Result’' of Rivalry Between Unions. Portland, Ore., Dec. 20.—In discuss- ing general railroad conditions of the country James J. Hill contended that ‘with the advance in cost of all mate- rials required for construction and maintenance of railroads the large railroad systems of the country are having trouble to make ends meet. “Engineers and trainmen,” said Mr Hill, “are among the best paid labor- ers in the country and their wages have been increased more during the last few years than those of any other class of workmen. For that reason I think that the possibility of a general strike among these men I8 altogether remote and, in fact, not considered se- riously by the men themselves. “The recent strike by the switchmen employed on the Northern rallroads ‘was the result more of rivalry between two organizations of these employes than from any other cause The or ganization which ordered the walkout hoped to be successful and in that way attract to membership all switchmen employed on the other railroad sys tems who are affiliated with the Order of Railway Trainmen But it required only three days to place this strike where it failed to prove troublesome % the railroads.” Now-Gash-Want-Rate ',-Gent-a-Word ‘Where cash accompanies copy we will publish all “Want Ads” for half- cent a word per insertion.
