MERT OFFICERS | OF RAILROADS Conference Planned in Chi- cago Next Monday May Bring Settlement SCOTT ACTS FOR JEWELL Former Strike Leader Remains in Background. — Urge Separate Agreement ) (By the Associated Press) Chicago, Sept. 7.—With the rail- way shopcrafts policy committee of 90 summoned to mee+.in Chicago next Monday, hope of ‘an early or partial settlement of the rail strike was renewed today for the first time since railroad executives and union chiefs broke off peace negotia- tions in New York three weeks ago, These hopes were founded princi- paly on the call for the unions pol- icy committee meeting and state- ments by strike leaders on the pos- sibility of separate agreements with 52 of the class 1 roads representing an approximate trackage of 85,000 miles. executives generally either denied that peace ovértur had been considered in conferences with union leaders, or declined to comment upon rumors of an impend- ing: settlement. Some insisted that the strike was broken and that peace parleys had ended with the breakup of the New York confer- ences, ’ if Policy Committee The call for the policy committee mecting issued at Chicago strike headquarters by John Scott, Secre- tary ‘of the railway employes’ de- partment of the American Federa- ition of: Labor, went out to the gen- eral chairmen of the shop crafts or- ganizations over the name of B. M. Jewell, head of the department, whose whereabouts had remained publicly unknown since the govern- ment’s strike injunction was grant- jed to Attorney General Daugherty by Federal Judge James H. Wilker- son last Friday. Mr. Jewell was variously reported to have been in several eastern cities recently. secretly conferring on plans for a settlement. It be- ‘came known that he as well as other leaders of the shopmen’s unions had been in Baltimore. Henry F. Broe-! nig, President of the Balitmore Fed- eration of Labor said he had talked with Mr: Jewell. at Buffalo by. tele- phone following thé strike leader's departure from Baltimore. Deny Knowledge Officials of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad of which Daniel Willard is president and which is included in the group of roads from which strike leaders hope to obtain separate agreements, denied knowledge of any conference with Jewell or his assoct- ates. ‘ Although talk of a general strike of organized labor as a forcible pro- test against the strike injunction was persistent at Atlantic City, members of the executive council expressed opposition to such a course, declaring that “public sen- timent was sufficient, to win the bat- tle.” T. DeWitt Cuyler, president of the Railway Executive association, with other rail heads, said the roads were pleased. with the way striking em- ployes were coming back to work. The Nebraska State Federation of Labor, in calling upon union men to contribute to the aid of the striking railway shopmen, adopted resolu- tions declaring for the amalagama- tion of the various unions in each industry “so that there shall remain but one union for each industry.” ‘ TO CONSIDER INJUNCTION.

Placed under j arrest by Sheriff Welch and Chief Martineson, who picked him up on Fourth street, he admitted) many .) thefts and turned over considerable \| stolen property. His latest thefts, accérding to his confession,sinclude . the robbery of | the Catholic church at Beach and o visitor at the Mandan fair. In addi- tion to his bpsiness of burglary Spencer also operated with dice, a pair of loaded cubes being found in his possession. A silver ciborium and one sterl- ing silver Lunala, gold plated, were stolen from the Catholic church at Beach several days ago, according to word to the police from Father Hake. The silverware was recovered in Spencer's ,possession. A scarfpin was found in one of his pockets. He said he lifted the pin and a pocket- book from, a man at the Missouri Slope Fair last week taking them in a jam. Spencer is wanted in Montana, Idaho, Iowa, South Dakota and in Seattle, police say. He has roamed the country, and one of his special- ties seems to have been taking sil- verware from Catholic churches. It was learned that he had shipped sil- verware from Seattle to Aberdeen, more anxious that they should be punished than we union men. But they are not guilty. They have been framed on. Police have beat- en ther until they forced them to lie.. Now we demand that these police be punished.” WHEAT GOES UP 3 CENTS Minneapolis, Sept. 7.—Whéat for September delivery jumped three cents at the Minneapolis Chamber, of Commerce today.: This option opened at’ $1.01 3-8" a bushel and!” climbed to $1.043-8 The sharp advance was attributed to a lack of offerings and an active demand by millers for. cash grain.

Police of Seattle have wired a full description, stat- ing the man probably is responsible for a number of robberies. Spencer entered houses by use ofa skeleton, key, it is said. ; Stating he had come west from Beacon, N.» Y., authorities wired there. The answer said that Spencer came to Beacon from the Kingston jail and had borne a good reputation but was a wanderer. Spencer admitted he was picked up in Moorhead three years ago on the charge of robbing a rooming house, but there was not evidence to con- viet him. He told authorities he wanted to get his sentence as soon as possible and get it over with.

The next close race, that for the attorney gen- era Inomination, shows Ekern to be leading Baker by approximately 20,- 000 majority on returns from 1,597 precincts, There is as yet insufficient fig- ures from precincts covering the | Democratic nomination for governor to indicate definitely whether. that party will qualify for a place on the ballot at the November election. In many counties no attention has been made to the count of Democra- tic votes and it probably will re- qire the assembling of votes at the secretary of state’s office before the complete recognition can be made, The two congressional races, those in the ninth and eleventh districts, which were more or less in doubt, have cleared somewhat. In the eleventh, Hubert P. Peavey around t owhom the wet forces of the state awarded their strength, was more than 5,000 ahead of Congressman Nelson, classed by the anti-saloon league as “next to Volstead, the most important dry congressman.” In the ninth district, Geo. J. Schneider, who was also supported by the League opposed to prohibi- tion, Wisconsin division, assumed a lead of more than 600 early today over his opponents, Judge Henry Graass, and Elmer S. Hall.
