MIL STRIKERS
. AT CHICAGO NOT
TO END STRIKE
.Yhree Leaders Urge Resurrip-
tion of Work, But Rank and
File Refuse to Hear
. Plea.
Chicago, April 21. Striking rail'
road men in the Chicago district re
fused today to vote on the, question
of returning to work. All efforts of
a cdmmittee of strike leaders to ob
tain action failed. '
' M.' J. Kenney, R. S. Murphy and
Shannon Jones, three of the, strike
leaders arrested last week, made the
appeal for a return to work it a
mass meeting of striking yardmen.
Charge Sold Out. -
They were greeted with cries of
"sold, outside" and 1'where's
Grunau." Jones explained that ef
forts to obtain the release of John
Grunau, president of the Chicago
Yardmen's association, from Joliet
jail on bond had not succeeded.
,. Murphy, waving an American flag,
took the floor to declare he "would
not fight the American government"
He- was greeted with cat calls and
hisses.
' Union leaders declared after the
meeting they were helpless to or
der the men back to work.
A police lieutenant declared - the
meeting adjourned after the strike
leaders had been refused a hearing.
He announced that no "rump meet
ing" would be permitted, and the
hall was cleared under police super
vision. - ...
Bedlam Breaks Loose.
Bedlam followed the attempt of
the union leaders to address the
men. Shouts were" interspersed
with cries, of "adjourn." , 1
The 8trjkers filed out and re
sumed ' the session at their head
quarters. ' '
Many of the men declared Kenny,
Murphy and Jone3 had no authority
to advise them p return to work.
Only President Grunau could do
that, they declared. Grunau, at
whose request the mass meeting had
been called, expected to arrange, for
his release from jail to attend. Fail
ure of his plans to furnish the $10,
000 bond prevented his appearance.

The woman's vote and the "wet
and dry" issue tell the tale of Bry
an's success. Mullen lost thousands
f votes wh(ch have been in demo
cratic primaries in" recent but which
switched to the republican field this
year apparently because they no
longer had an interest in the prohi
bition ; jssuc- and further, because
thy Wished to support Johnson for
president- In precincts where there
was a decline in the! total democratic
vote and a gain in the total repub
lican ballots, there was almost in
variably a big boost for Johnson for
republican president and a bad drub
bing for Mullen for democratic com
!' mitteetrjan.
Johnson's, Victory Forecasted.
; Johnson's victory had been duite
generally forecasted, 1)ut its extent
'. was beyond the expectations of
; most political observers. 'In many
precincts, as in the Fourth ward of
',, Grand Island, Johnson polled four
or five times as many votes as all
his opponents. His run in Omaha
surprised the "experts," who had at
no time believed that he would be
a serious contender for first place
in this county. ,
Early in the returns Governor
McKelvie seemed in danger of los
ing the gubernatorial nomination on
: fthe republican ticket to McMullen,
; but later returns made him safe.
McMullen led in Omaha and. in
; many of the cities of the state, but
the rural vote went largely to Pol
lard or McKelvie. r
Governor Morehead's easy victory
for the democratic nomination for
' governor, while expected, was more
of a walk-away than had been fore-
casted. The Hitchcock forces made
a comparatively light fight for Ralph
' Clark, their candidate, believing that
Morehead would win, although he
conducted his fight as an inde
pendent, without backing of either
Hitchcock or Bryan machines.

CHICAGO PLANS
MUCH ROOM FOR
G.O. P. DELEGATES
Propose to Convert Mile-Long
Municipal Pier Into Hotel
' for Accommodation of
Convention Guests.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Leased Wire.
Chicago, April 21. People who
contemplate visiting Chicago during
republican convention week, but
who are fearful they will not find
hotel accommodations, may banish
that fear.x fori the city is devising
plans to care for everybody. Yes
terday's" plan to erect a great citypi
tents in Grant park, was over
shadowed today when it was sug
gested that the immense municipal
pier be transformed into a hotel fr
the. emergency." Twenty thousand
people could be accommodated
nicely on the great pier, and this
would not infringe upon the space
now occupied by restlhirants, as
sembly halls and other features of
the enormous recreation pier.
During the training of soldiers
for the army the United States gov
ernment made use of a portion of
the pier 'with remarkable success.
Three regiments of men slept, ate
and drilled in the enormous struc
ture and hardly filled one corner of
it.- ' . .
Visitors would undoubtedly pre
fer a room out in the lake to the
best any hotel could offer. The
pier extends almost a mile into the
lake. A street car 'line runs from
the , shore line almost the entire
length of the pier and cab compan
ies operate throughout its length.
Cots could be placed inside and
outside over the three stories of the
building for a distance of practically
three-quarters, of a mile, giving
some idea of how many people could
find sleeping accommodations" there.
