SAYS STRIKE WAS NOT LEGAL Whitney Asserts Order Was tssaed VVItkoil GlTlas; the Mem Chaace thaare Vete "Soavfct" Shoats Whllstf. ST. PAUL, Dec. 4 A qusrrel between Vioe President Whitney of the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen and President Hawley of the Switchmen's union is the latest element Injeoted into the strike. Whitney, who hurried to Duluh from Buffalo in response to a demand from- the switchmen who "are members of the Brotherhood, declares the ewltchmen were not given an opportunity to vote on the strike In accordance with section 211 of their constitution. Hawley retort that the men were given the opportunity and the vote was taken. Whitney also says 75 per cent of the switchmen at the head of the lakes are members of the Brotherhood and will not abide by the order and to this Hawley replied that Only three of the Brotherhood have returned to work. Whitney says the. Switchmen's Union ot North America, In calling the strike, were "unfair to the Brotherhood, unfair with their own members and unfair with the railroads." To this last statement President Hawley retorted today: "Whitney's statement is a lame and con temptible excuse for the men that he wants to go back as scabs." Two hundred strike breakers arrived here today from Cleveland and Cincinnati. No more switchmen would be brought in. It was authoritatively stated. Dad Seems Remote. With both sides professing confidence as to the outcome the fourth day of the strike began with no apparent progress made to ward a settlement of the controversy. While the switchmen still claim to have the situation In hand the railroads have born making headway by their steady Im portation of new men to take the places ot the strikers and today they promise to handle more freight than at any Urn since the strike began. They claim that as soon as all ef the new men now on their way arrive and ba- oome familiar with the yards -normal con ditions will be established. , Reports fiom Duluth say that the strike at the head of the lakes, is practically broke, but in the Twin Cities the railroads have not been able to handle any volume of business. Discussion among various business or ganisations of the Twin Cities yesterday is expeoted to result in some definite move ment to bring the railroads and switchmen together for a conference today. The rail road officials say, however,that they will make no concessions and If the swltoumen return to work it will have to be under the same conditions that prevailed before the strike. Kaapp m Nelll la Washiagtoa, WASHINGTON. Deo. I. Chairman Mar tin A. Knapp of the Interstate Commerce commission and Dr. Charles P. Nelll, com missioner of labor, members of the medita tion board under the Erdman act. re turned to Washington today from St. Paul, Minn., where they had been endeavoling to adjust the controversy between the Switchmen's Union of North America and the northwestern railroads. It is unlikely - they will be called again into the controversy. Neither Chairman Knapp nor Dr. Nelll would discuss the situation for publica tion. Both agreed, however, that it was serious. s Freight Blockade Broke a. CHICAGO. Dec. t. Traffic managers of the various railroads running through the northwest today Issued orders to receive all freight consigned to points oiw their lines without restrictions. The "subject to delay" notices posted whn the strike ot switchmen began were withdrawn. The L managers declared that within a few days the conditions would attain be normal, SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. S.-The freight blockade, due to the switchmen's strike, Is being broken and operating officials be lieve that normal conditions will be re stored in four or five days. Perishable' freight in limited amount Is being received apd dead freight is ac cepted subject to delay. MRS. DAVID ALBRIGHT receive: perishable SHIPMENTS Omaha Roads Express Confidence In Ability o Handle Traffic. Following reports from St. Paul that the backbone of the switchmen's strike has been broken, railroads having terminals in Omaha have announced that freight of all kinds will be received for shipment to the north and northwest. During the last four days local offices have refused positively to receive perishable goods of any kind. "We are prepared to handle all kinds ef freight," said Lyman Sholes, division freight and passenger agent for the Chi cago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha rail road. "Last night we sent a special train of fresh meats from South Omaha to north ern points, Including St. Paul, Minneapolis and Dululh and we anticipate no trouble In delivery." Trains running into the Union and Bur lington stations during the day were gen erally on time. No trouble was experienced by the Burlington route at Billings. Mont., where most of the switchmen left their work. The delays in trains during the day were caused mostly by the storm In the northwest. Union Pacific train No. , the Portland train, due at 8:46 a. m., did not arrive un til 6 o'clock in the afternoon. This train alone felt the effects of the strike in the northwest and was also delayed enroute by the storm. , . Omaha officials have been advised of the demands of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen on the lines taat of Chicago, asklrg for a raise of 10 per cent In w:tgcs. They request an answer from railroad managers by December 11. The hurried trip east of Judge Lovelt, president of the Hurrirnan system, who was scheduled to reach Omaha during the day, may have a bearing on this case. x , 3 r at Phonograph Bargains j like those should put a quietus to pro-holiday indecision i vour fretful nuest of nrnner nrosnnts is now n thinr of tho nnst. 1 A I I O " " " I Omsimas 111 , Question v Solved Victor' Outfit Victor J Outfit X 148.75 Mo.
