Kruttschnitt Says Eailways
Would Be False to Public
to Give in to Unions.
PONFERENCE MAY
PREVENT STRIKE
v
San Frahcisco. CaL Aug. 29. The lo-
cal Machinists union has resolved to
support the demands made upon the
Harriman lines by the federation of
shop employes now asking for recog-
nition by the company. President E.
L. Reguln of the federation said to-
day that this decision "was reached
last night -when a tentative strike
vote was taken. The men he said
"were unanimous in their demands.
The federation is awaiting the ar-
rival from the east of the officers of
the International unions representing
the five crafts working in the shops.
These officers are expected here to-
morrow afternoon. Their conference
with Julius Kruttschnitt vice presi-
dent of the Harriman lines will be held
on Thursday. They will then demand
that the new federation be recognized
officially and dealt with by the com-
pany. Mr. Kruttschnitt was occupied today
with routine affairs and had nothing
further to say in regard to the federa-
tion's demands but 'last night he did
not hesitate to talk.
Chao "Would Result.
That granting the demands of the
Federation of Shop Employes of the
Harriman lines would mean chaos; that
It would abridge or deprive the cor-
porations of the ability to fulfill the
duties Imposed upon them by the law
and that the officers deliberately so
betraying their trusts as to agree to
such an arrangement would De univers-
ally condemned by public opinion Is the
statement made by Mr. Kruttschnitt.
Mr. Kruttschnitt took up in detail
the reasons for refusing the demands
of the federated shopmen saying:
'These are. the reasons why we de-
cline to surrender to an .irresponsible
committee of federated employes rep-
resenting a very small portion of pub-
lic trusts confided to us by the en-
tire public and why we will not con-
cede to" suci a committee the right
to dictate .whether we shall or shall
not fulfill for twenty millions of
people in 17 states the duties .clearly
;prescribed-by-law. " '" "- "
"The employes demands are substan-
tially as follow:
"First reorganization of the shop
employes federation.
The Tevr Issue.
"Heretofore Issues arising with a
machinist boilermaker blacksmith or
sheet metal -worker were taken up with
his associates of that craft. "When not
successfully adjusted strikes of that
raft have followed but they were
not serious enough to prevent the
roads performing the public services
for which they -were created. Under the
change proposed an issue on a small
syrtem road in Louisiana might stop
all shop workers throughout the sys-
tem by requiring members to strike in
California Oregon Washington or Ne-
braska. "Second All present or future em-J
ployes shall join the federated associ-
ation within 30 days.
"This means the discbarge of all
emploves who will not join or an ab-
solutelv closed shop.
"Third That the "company agree that
Uje final settlement of differences shall
rest wifh a federated committee repre-
senting all five crafts. -
"THreasonable Demand.'.
"Thi; would place the employes of
all crafts behind a demand made by
any one craft and -would encourage un-
reasonable demands not likely to be
made by individual crafts.
"Fourth The restriction of the num-
ber of apprentices.
"This would deny to American boys
the opportunity to learn trades.
"Fifth A flat increase of 7 cents
per hourfor all mechanics apnrentices
and helpers; an average for the entire
shop forces of 23 per cent: and a re-
duction of hoursvand other demands
averaging 13 percent additional.
"The Southern Pacific is now paying
higher wages than any other railroad
in the "United States and Tia: increased
the pay of all shop crafts 12 1-2 percent
in the last five years.
"Sixth Th abolishing of piece pre-
mium or bonus systems shop foreman-
shins to be filled by promotion from
among federated emploves.
"Conflict "With Public "Will."
"This is in direct conflict with the
public will recently emphatically ex-
pressed that increased expenses of
carriers should be met by increased

A train- de luxe it's the very last
word in equipment the finest on tlie
continent is what the new Santa Fe
Chicago-to Coast flyer is going to
be. The Herald's dispatch last Satur-
day stating that a new 63-hour train
was to be operated between Chicago
i and San Francisco Los Angeles cre
mated considerable comment inasmuch
as it Is believed that it will lead other
roads to attempt competition and may-
be start a speed war. Anyhow the
new train is interesting in that it is
to be the finest in America. It Is to
be put into operation on December 1
aceordlnir to the Los Angeles Exam
iner " '
The train has already been dubbed
the "Millionaire Special" for an extra
fare of $25 each way will be charged.
In addition to this item there will of
course be additional expenditures for
the barber maid stenographer mani-
curist and other "accessories" of high
class service.
Besides a luxurious equipment that
will eclipse anything in western rail-
way travel the Santa Fe officials say
the running time between Los Angeles
and Chicago will be clipped five hours
30 minutes -westbound and seven
hours 45 minutes eastbound.
G.1 Hour "From Chicago. -
The de luxe will run on a GSIiour
schedule between Chicago and Los An-
geles and 51 hours between Kansas
City and Los Angeles.
At the outset the new fast limited
train will only run once a week; later
if the demand for this class of service
increases in all probability the de luxe
will be run oftener.
Sixteen years ago the Santa Fe put
in the frist limited train ever run to
southern California. The service was at
first only semi-weekly. Later the train
was daily all tne year insteaa 01 uui
inir the -winter season only. This train
-will he continued as formerly. There Is I
no extra fare for this train hut pas
sengers must have first class tickets
as well as Pullman accommodations
the same as on the Rock Island-Southern
Pacific" Golden State limited.
Xi-BXiirious Equipment.
The new train will be equipped with
comoartment drawing room and obser-
vation sleeping cars club and dining
cars all built from special designs un-
der a carte blanche order as to ex-
penses. -
Market reports and daily bulletins
wiU be supplied to passengers. There
will be Si library of fiction and maga-
zines. Telephone communication can be
had at all terminal points. Afternoon
tea will be served to the women and
card room and buffet features will
prove attractive to the men.
The new train has been added the
Santa Fe officials say. to meet tjhe in
creasing demand for luxurious accom-
modations between eastern points aim
California. The new train will be sim-
ilar to but finer than the finest trains
now running between Chicago and New
York on quick time schedule.

erty was destroyed.
Frightful lUght at Hotel.
Seventy-five guests of the hotel on

terror while the storm raged. Con-
gregated in the lobby the only spot im-
mune from the -wind and rain women

pistol in readiness to shoot himself to
avoid drowning- It is believed all
those stranded on the Island will be
lescued this afternoon.
No violence was reported in Chartes-
Ltanun. to .early .todajv -although the-p
city was in almost total darkness. Ar-
rivals from Charleston estimate the

Mastiowicz ticket seller in the moving
picture show in which Saturday's
tragedy occurred; was being borne to
the grave in the Slavish Catholic cem-
etery Jiere last evening lightning
struck a tree under which the proces-
sion was passing and the. six pall-
bearers were knocked down. John
Hodie a brotherinlaw of Mastiowicz
was rendered unconscious and the
mourners we're panic stricken.
The casket dropped Into the mud
where it lay until the party had re-
covered from the shock. Hodie was not
seriously Injured but it was necessary
to remove him from the cemetery in a
carriage.
A wedding in the foreign settlement
seriously interfered with some of the
funerals as two grave diggers failed
to complete their work in-the ceme-

been started when the men "were sum-
moned to the wedding. Dropping their
work they hastened r.Tay and when
the funeraf parties arrived it was nec-

The first of today's funerals of the

nightfall 17 of the 26 who were killed

WE PULLED HIM
OUT OF A HOLE
M
Quincy 111. Aug. 29. Speaker Champ
Clark today replied emphatically to
president Taft's speech of defiance to
insurgent Republicans and Democrats
delivered at Hamilton Mass. last Sat-
urday. In a signed interview Mr. Clark
accused the president of not stating"
facts. He said that if the tariff board
was to be used for delaying revision of
the tariff downward the Democrats
will cut -off ts supplies; that he was
not speaking for the Insurgent Repub-
licans as "they were able to take care
of themselves."
Mr. Clark declared the Democrats
"pulled the president out of a hole in
the reciprocity bill;" that had it not
been for the Democratic support of the
measure "Mr. Taft would have been
the most thoroughly discredited and
humiliated president since the days of
Andrew Johnson."
"The president was warned" con-
tinued Clark "that if he called an ex-
tra session we would pass such tariff
bills as we deemed advisable- He had
said the wool rates of the Payne-Al-drlch.
law were too high bub in spite
of this he vetoed our wool bill."
Mr. Clark declared the Democrats
were never in favor of a tariff com-
mission responsible to the president
alone and that the present board was
not composed of experts. Answering the
president's implication that" he vetoed
the wool bill because it was Intro-
duced and passed without "proper
hearings" Mr. Clark said three months
were devoted to gathering information
thereon while only four months were
given to the preparation of the Payne-
Aldrich bill containing 14 schedules.?
TAFT PREPARES TO GO
l INTO THE ENEMY'S COUNTRY
Beverly Mass. Aug. 29. President-!
Taft has begun to prepare his speeches
on the tariff. He obtained copies of
his veto message on the wool farm
ers free list and cotton bills and at
once set to work upon addresses that
he '-expects to deliver later backing
kup these vetoes.
Mr. Taft is said to realize that he
must not merely defend himself for
aving rejected these bills but that
h& must attack the Democrats and
progressive Republicans who put them
through congress.
It Is understood that the first fight
upon the "progressives" will be con-
lined largelyto their own territory.
The president will arry the War west
into the "enemy's country."
