By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, ~January ' 6.—The com- mittee of 100 of the Federal Shop rafts will meet in Chicago, January to consider railroad shop rules recently laid down by the United States Railroad Labor Board. On their deliberations will depend whether the shop crafts’ unions will =|call a strike in protest over the Ly rules and the 12 per cent wage re- duction of last July. A strike vote taken immediately after the wage reduction authorized the general council, composed of the international _ presidents of the unions and B. M. Jewell, president of the railway employes’ department of the American Federation of Labor, jto call a strike. The call was de- ferred however, until the rules con- | troversy, up before the labor board, was acted upon. Union leaders de- clared that a more effective fight could be made on the double-barreled rules and wage question than on the wage cut alone. The committee will probably re- quire at least a month to complete its work, according to Mr. Jewell. It is said the shop rules have met with considerable disapproval by unions and the committee’s recom- mendations are expected to result in another strike early in the spring. —_—— CHILE NOT TO SEND REPLY TO PERU NOTE Cabinet Council at Santiago De- cides No Answer Will Be Forwarded. y the Associated Press. SANTIAGO, Chile, January 6.—A cabinet council has decided that no answer will be sent to the latest Pe- ruvian note In regard to the dispute over the provinces of Tacna and Arica. The latest Peruvian note to Chile, received in Santiago January 1. re- newed demands that the Tacna-Arica controversy be submitted to arbitra- tion. It insisted that an arbitrator should decide whether the treaty of Ancon, signed in 1883, under which Chile took jurisdittion®over the two provinces, had been violated and how such violations might be repaired. Chile had previously declared a fur- ther exchange of views useless, stat- ing that she hcad gone to the limit in seeking an agreement. MANY TOWNS FLOODED.
