S. A. who returned yesterday from an east- ern speaking tour because of the in- surgent strike of railroad, workers, said today he did not find “any evi- dence of connection between the rail- way men’s strike and Industrial Workers of the World activities.” General Wood declared he found traffic conditions improving through- out the deparfment. Attorney ¢ Seral Palmer on Wed- nesday declared reports from his de- partment linked the ‘“illegal” switch- men’s walkout with Industrial Work- ers of the World's pians for “one big union” and a nation-wide walkout. After revoking the charters of. three lodges of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainment, two in Chicago and one in San Francisco, A. Whitney, vice president of the brotherhood, today ordered all striking members of the organization in the Chicago terminal district to return to work by midnight Saturday or suffer expulsion from the union with loss of their seniority rights. ‘With twenty-five leaders of the in- surgent forces under arrest in_Chi- cago charged with ovilating the Lever act, the movement of freight and live- stock approaching normal, and the re- turn of many strikers to dyty, rail chiefs and brotherhood officers de- clared the walkout, which started more than two weeks ago was defin- itely broken. The local unions whose charters were revoked included Lodge 456 of i the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul | Railroad, of which John Grunau, head of the outlaw yardmen’s association, was a_member. Tt was the walkout of 700 switchmen on this road that started the trike, which subsequent- Iy spread to manv. rail centers throughout the country. Grunau.

He demand- ed application of the 'penalties pre- scribed by Articles 17 of the penal code, declaring that Article 205 of the military code, which calls for the death penalty, by decision of the court of cassation, was inapplicable. The procurator clearly exempted M. Caillaux from the same degree of guilt vhich appli=d to Bolo Pasha and M. Duval, saving that “the fingers of these ‘two were soiled by the enemy's g0ld” whereas Caillaux only should suffer the political penalty. Both Polo Pasha and M. Duval were put to death for their crimes. M. Lescouve s discourse was main- tained in the level tones of sobef statement of fact until the last stage of his address, when he developed some fervor. After saying that Ger- many had finaced Miguel Almereyda, editor of the Bonnet Rouge, Bolo Pasha and Pierre Lenoir, all of whom he declared had died ‘miserably as traitors, because Germany knew M. Caillaux was behind them, the pro- curator general expressed the opinfon that M. Caillaux must now be assailed 5y_remorse. Thereupon, the accused, who had shown signs of nervousness as A Lescouve continued, -cried out “No. M. Lescouve retorted “Then I am sorry for your sake.” ¥ The prosecutor recalled impressiv: v M. Caillaux’s words to his domes- iic at the moment he was arrested, “If { %o before a courtmartial I may be shot.” as showing his sense of guilt, He intimated to the high court it luty to weigh the consideration in fa- r of clemency that might present themselves, but warned against carry- ing indulgence too far. “Your sen- tence” M. Lescouve concluded, “must e a lesson to the-living and . tion for the dead” s e The high court will ‘sit ‘Saturday 1nd Sunday to hear arguments for the defense.

The suspension of dealings also afforded an oppor- tunity to the parties to existing con- tracts to reach an adjustment.” Mr. Ryan's allegations that ten members of the governing committee belong to firms “short” of the stock was refuted with the assertion that no tone of the ten was interested in it in any way “for their own account,” except three firms who trade in odd lots, and each of these three are “long” of Stutz. “The members of the governing committee of the exchange,” the state- ment concluded, “are firmly convinced that in_all actions taken in respect to Stutz Motor stock the: have been Zuided solely by sense of their duty to the best interests of the exchange sid of the public.
