While officers guarded the front of the hotel some members of the mob gained en window and Tacoma, every mob consisted of trance through a rear ransacked two before they were routed. Arrest of 120 sailors fi nally brought quiet rooms The trouble started when E. C. | Parkinson, James Wyatt and Joe Cowan, all sailors in the navy, went to the hotel to obtain a room for a comrade, whom they desired to “sober up.” When told no rooms were avail- able a dispute started during which John Seiotti, an Italian, pulled a stiletto and a black jack and quickly stabbed and beat the three sailors.

Grable Before Rail Board Asks Minimum Pay Increase From 2c to 48c an Hour. Chicago. — Railway maintenance of way employes comprising approxi- mately 400,000 track workers and crossing flagmen, whose threatened strike with the shop crafts last month was held in abeyance pending new wage hearings, placed their demands for increased pay before the United | States railroad labor board here Mon- day. The petition from workers of more than 100 railroads asked an in- crease of minimum wages from 23 cents to 48 cents an hour and made a virtual demand for recognition of a | Ment see us. basic eight hour day with time and one-half for overtime. The first opposition to the union submissions came when six egstern Director: railroads refused to recognize the union's appea! on the ground that rail road shopmen, including some of the maintenance men, were on strike. E. F. Grable, president of the track- man, who with W. L. McMenimen and Chairman Hooper, of the labor board, were credited with holding the track strike in check, when the shopmen threw down their tools, opened the hearing by presenting the demand for & minimum ‘wage of 48 cents an hour. The scale provided by the board’s July 1 decline which slashed $50,000,- 000 from the railroads’ maintenance pay roll, ranged from 23 to 35 cents. This, Grable declared, was less than a “living wage.” Grable was armed with a strike vote which his organization approved as the shop men walked off their jobs. Grable characterized the case as the most important which has come be- fore the board since its creation. ROADS AND LABOR TO CONTINUE FIGHT New York.—With the peace effort launched by the big five brotherhoods definitely abandoned, rail executives and shop craft leaders re-aligned their forces for a finish fight In which both aides predicted an early victory. Heads of the big five railroad broth erhoods, dealing as mediators between executi{ves and striking shopmen in a final effort to effect separate settle- | ment with individual roads after the association of railway executives as a whole had rejected the running trades’ first peace overtures, reported to the representatives of 76 roads that the shop crafts had turned down a propo sition made to them by the carriers. Negotiations then were sharply broken | off and executives, strike leaders and brotherhood chiefs packed their bags and left town, prepared for a test of endurance. MANIPULATION IS SHOWN Fluctuations Seem to Confirm Farm. ere’ Belief of Injustice. Washington, D. C.—The senate ag- ricultural committee, informally re- porting the Capper-Tincher futures trading bill, declared that the fluctua tions in prices since the old futures trading act was held unconstitutional had done much to “confirm the belief of the farmer that prices were being manipulated to his distinct disadvan- tage.” Grain exchanges contend, according to the statement, that the fall in price was due to unusually heavy hedging sales, but, the committee statement added, the bellef persisted that the drop resulted from “short selling” by professional speculators. Man Refuses to Be Corpse. Pendleton, Or.— After being pos!- tively identified by ten people as the body of Walter Scott, the body of a man with a broken neck found near Pendleton became a mystery again when Scott himself appeared from Helix. By a strange coincidence his description tallies perfectly with that of the dead man. Those who identi fied the body are bewildered at the likeness, as all declared that the body was that of Scott. Fuel Distribution Measure is O. K'd Washington, D. C.—The Cummins fuel distribution bill, designed to pre- vent profiteering by broadening the powers of the interstate commerce commission, was favorably reported in the senate. A majority of the sen- ate interstate commerce commission favored the measure and asked its speedy passage in the upper house.
