Head of Brotherhood Notifies
Railroads That Strike Is
Inevitable Otherwise.
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND
FIREMEN ARE INVOLVED
Companies Arc "Standing Pat"
and the Situation Is Held
to Be Grave.
CHICAGO, March. 13. W. S. Carter,
president of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and ICnginomcn, notified
the railroads today that if the contro
versy -with the firemen is not submit
ted to arbitration, a strike is inevitable.
Twenty-five thousand firemen on rail
roads west of Chicago are involved.
Mr. Carter's letter of notification was
indorsed by the Brothorhood's commit
tee, which represents the firemen on
about forty-seven railroads, -west, north
west and southwest of Chicago. The
letter was sent to W. C. Nixon, general
manager of the Si. Louis & San Fran
cisco railroad, and chairman o tho
railroad general managers' committee,
aud reads:
Lettor Is Explicit.
'" Vonr letter of this date (March 13).
wherein yon state that the managers'"
committee declines 'further to consider
matters in ,cmitrovers3' and in reply our
committee instructs me to say: If
there is to be a great railway strike,
responsibility inubt aud will rest ou tho
managers' committee. That There may
he no misunderstanding concerning this
responsibility, our conimitteo hereby
proposes tho submission of all mat tors
in dispute- to an adjustment by arbitra
tion. JiTho public has been informed,
through the press, that matters in con
troversy cannot be arbitrated, because
they involye the authority of railway
oih'eials and the discipline of employees.
This statement our committee emphat
icallv denies!"
'"The officials of manv railways rep
resented by tho managers' commitleo
do not hesitate to confess the grofs in
justice perpetrated under present prac
tices. "Our committee directs mo to re
quest the managers' committee through
you if this proposition to arbitrate is
not acceptod bv tho managers' commit
tee, t'jai you uotifv us'afc vour earliest
convenience.'
Points of Difference.
The railroads previously announced
their willingness to arbitrate the in
creased -wage demand, which the fire
men say would amount to about '12H
per cent.- Two other demands involved",
the managers say. concern discipline and
are not open (o arbitration These points
have to do with the promotion of fire
men, whether, when they become engine
men, they are still under the jurisdic
tion of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen aud Enginemcn.
"Docs your letter mean that if a sat
isfactory rcplv is not received a strike
will be called?" Mr. Carter was asked.
''It looks prcttv grave." he said.
'Wo are nearer a disagreement than
we have ever been during the whole six
i weeks of conference. We do not waul
a strike. We want the public to under
stand that. As to our aulhoritv to
strike, wc hac tho vote of inoro" than
SO per cent of the men in favor of it.
All the answers wo have received from
the. managers hnrotororo have been eva
sive. 1 hope their reply will not be
so. ' '
Roads "Standing Pat."
Jt wa- learned that the uiauagers had
agreed to "stand pat" and. while re
fusing any concessions probably would
invite the br.otherhood s committee to
another conference tomorrow.
After conferring with Mr. Xi.on. O.
1. Tiickcson. assistant to Mm president
of tho Chicago. Burlington t Quincy
road. gave, out the following statement:
"wo have received Mr. Carter's let
ter. wbi-b. to the layman who is not
thoroughly familiar with the methods
of labor organizations, would appear to
bo somewhat serious and point to a.
strike. T wish to say that this is mere
ly one of the met ho. Is unfortunately in
voked in conducting such negotiation?
and it. is not likely (hat the men would
saix-fiou the action of their leaders iu
''ailing a strike oor one or two tech
nical points. Wo dr. not feel (.bo, slight
eft apprehension over Uu difficulty.
Tho managers in time, probablv tomor
row, will make d'Hinite antwor to tho
firemen 's committee and wo hope for a
peaceful adjustment."

PUBLIC LANDS 101
VEXINGCOMMITTEE
Problem to Harmonize Laws
Relating to Conservation
Is Difficult.
BALL I NG ER- PINCH 0T CASE
IS TEACHING LESSON
Evidence Shows the Various De
partments of Service Not
in Harmony.
WASHINGTON, March 13. Senators
from public land states, who were ap
pointed a special committee to prepare
conservation .bills that would harmonize
the laws, arc finding their task far from
easy.
A number of bills arc before the com
mittee, but it is giving its attention
principally to the measure known as the
classification bill. The committee is
composed of Senators Sinoot of Utah.
Clark P Wyoming and "Dixou of Mon
tana, Republicans, and ITughes of Jolo
rado stud Chamberlain of Oregou, Dem
ocrats. A majority of them are favorable to
the .general theory of conservation. Sen
ators Clark and Hughes, however, are
antagonistic to the proposed change of
the public land policy.
The testimony before the Balliuger
Pinchot committee has disclosed that
the general land ofiice. the forest serv
ice, the reclamation service and the geo
logical survey arc uot operating in sym
pathy and iliis makes -work or' the com
mittee more difficult. It is their opinion
that if the classification and the with
drawnl'bill can be passed, the way will
be eas3' for other menstrfes, which look
to the disposal of the lands uuder the
classification bill.
Lack of Agreement.
The principal obstacles in the way to
an agreement on the classification bill
j are found in the provisions relatiutr to
oil lands and water power sites. This
bill authorizes the secretary of the in
terior to classify all the public lauds.
Many senators contend it would bo
impossible to classify oil lauds in ad
vance and senators who hold this view
are making trouble for the committee.
The committee itself appreciates this
difficulty, and there is a tendency to
wards a provision fb" the leasiug rather
than the sale of lands supposed to cover
oil deposits. If the bill should be
framed with this idea any person could
lease a tract of land and put down his
I well and if successful iu liDdiug nil
could then acquiro the laud uuder the
mining laws.
The subject of water power sites has
been the basis of many conferences,
with tho executive branch of the gov
ernment as well. A tho slates coutrol
the streams, it is recognized as difficult
for the government to continue its su
pervision of the lauds immediately bor
dering tiio streams, as power sites neces
sarily must. Ou this account the sen
ate seems favorably disposed toward
the grant of the power sites to the sev
eral states and it is believed that the
administration may be induced to con
sent to this disposition of them if suf
ficient resfrictions are provided.
Withdrawal Problem.
The withdrawal bill is giving the com
mittee almost as much concern as the
classification bill, notwithstanding it is
now on the senate calendar. Favorable
action on that measure is rcallv neces
sary before the classification law could
be carried into ell'ect. Its language is
so broad that it authorizes the president
lo withdraw practically all the public,
land at his discretion. The measure
specifies the purpose for which tho lands
may be reserved as " forest rv, water
power sites, irrigation, classification of
lands or olher public purposes." There
will .bo no effort to pass this bill until
the terms of tho classification bill are
agreed to and the two Sills probablv
will be considered consecutively.

non-competing lines have been shattered
and the end is uot in sight, for as-
saults on the bill will continue on tha
While the opposition to the admicis
tratiou bill was not strong eiiougL to
amend the bill in the senate, it is con
ceded that several important changes
will be forced on the floqr. The debate
on the bill will begin' cither tomorrow
or Tuesday. Senator Cummins will
open the discussion iu support of cer
tain chauges advocated iu. the minority
report of the senate committee.
Will Be Plenty of Talk.
Practieallv all the insurgent senators
will speak on Hie railroad bill and there
will be many speeches from the Demo
cratic, side. Xo one estimates that the
debate will be finished in less thau six
weeks and some senators predict that
much more time will bo consumed.
An effort will be made by the house
committee on interstate commerco to re
port the Li 11 this week, and it is prob
ablo that debates on the same subject
will proceed simultaneously at both
cuds of the capitol.
Statehood legislation, which has
passed the senate, have been side
tracked for the administration railroad
bill. The postal bank bill, as hearings
have boon ordered by the house com
mittce on postoffico and postroads. will
not reach the door Tor several -weeks,
and in all probability not until the ses
siou ucars its close.
Neglecting the Programme.
Regardless of the fact that the postal
bank bill, the anti-injunction measure,
statehood legislation and tbo ndruiuis
tration conservation measure? all are a
part of tho administration programme
there is uot apparent anywhere a posi
tive force pushing them "for cousioera

lags, it may require a preaidcutial mcs
sago to iustill life into other features

Iu the house many mailers are peud
ing that Vill call oiit sharp debate and
there is a disposition to let some of
them go by the board. Those include
(bo Mondcll bill, to permit Ihe. home
stoad entry of the surtacc of coal Janil?,
which would involve .'10.000.000 acres.
Ship subsidy, the construction of two
battleships, which may be a feature of
tho naval bill; and the issuance of ccr
tifieales of indebtedness or bonds to tho
