ee ee ee ee es TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1919 Che Cas pet PAGE SIX ‘YELLOWSTONE 1S ‘OWNED’ PETITION SEEKS REVISION UNCHANGED, MEN TO BALLOT UPON GENERAL STRIKE Local Workers Influenced by Conflicting Advices When _International Asks Them to Continue Labor Torn between conflicting ad- vices from the directing head of the Chicago & Northwestern union and Acting President V. H. Jewell of the federated council of rail- road unions, machinists and boiler- makers of the Chicago and Northwest- ern at Casper are still on strike with no indication that they will return to work until the labor dispute is def- initely settled. Car repair men re- turned to work Sunday as stated Mon- day and no change in the situation was apparent today. Striking employes here as well as all shopmen and car men who have refused to strike without orders from the international organization will have an opportunity to ballot on a general walkout and advices from union headquarters state that these ballots are being mailed to the locals as fast as possible. Until returns are received no order for a general walk- out will be issued and the Internation- anction of the movement will be ithheld. The chief issue between strikers and non-strikers arises from the fact that the acting president of the fed- erated council requested the men to return to work pending a strike ballot and the executive head of the Chicago & Northwestern union advised the men to stay ovt. Not all have abid- ed either decision and thus the sit- uation will stand until the men have a chance to announce their verdict thru a majority vote. “We are running our business as usual,” declared C. T. Boone, division superintendent of the Chicago & Northwestern today, but beyond this statement had no comment to make. ANLROADS AND UNCLE SAM KEPT AWAY CROWDS FROM BIG FIGHT ARENA By H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Aug. 4—Tex Rickard is still the world’s premier promoter of fistic affairs, despite the fact that his Toledo arena failed to gather within its walls the enormous crowd that had been expected to attend the Willard-Dempsey battle. And Tex will not for many days forget the policy that prevented the railroad administration at Washing- ton from providing adequate trans- portation facilities which would have enabled many thousands of prospect- ive patrons from journeying to the scene of the big mill. gents of railways all over the country have wired Rickard of their regret at inability to handle crowds of fight fans because the govern- ment declined to sanction running special trains and because the offi- cials also declined to allow special coaches to be hitched to regular trains. | Practically every person who at-| tended the fight from points west of | Toledo was forced to take his chanees| on the regular trains. Several spe- cials were run from the east, sched-| uled as second sections of regular) trains. Several hundred, for instance, were able to make the trip from New York and Philadelphia by this means. “We had plenty of equipment to handle the crowds,” one agent wrote, “but the cars were allowed to stand idle in the yards and are there yet. We were unable to do anything be-| cause we had to unravel several miles| of red tape in getting the consent} of officials at Washington. | Rickards made money on the fight} —lots of it. As a matter of fact| he was well repaid for his time and trouble in bringing the two heavy-} weights together. He is so peeved, | however, over the treatment accord-| ed his venture in Washington that; ae probably never wil) venture again | from New York in staging a big bat- le. !

FORESTS SAVED BY LATE RAINS OVER WYOMING For the first time in many weeks there are no fires in the Wyoming forests of sufficient proportions to cause alarm, the improved condi- tions being the result of heavy rains which were general over the state. The Wolf creek fire near Sheridan in the Big Horns is still buring but it is being held within bounds and no disaster threatens. The Rock Creek fire was kept un- der control by reason of heavy rains.
