CHICAGO, July 31. A complete
tie-up of the street car and elevated
traffic began to make itself felt
shortly before midnight tonight after
the surface lines employes at a mass
meeting had voted for a walkout, ef
fectiveafa4fa, m. tomorrow and ele
vated roadjlSen had joined them in
a runjyyaySjS.trike, anticipating a form
al 'strike" order by 24 hours.
Facngfiia:-cpn!pletc tie-up wide
sprcatpj'pnarafioiis were under way
by suburban ''railways, motor boat
companies and Automobile owners to
meet tlic strike.
All efforts of businessmen, city of
ficials, ' union leaders and carline
chiefs -"toSJight, apparently had failed
to avert ja waikout 'precipitated by
the demand, .that the Tiien accept a
wage rcducli of about 17 per cent.
A compromise offer by the men
expressing willingnessto take a flat
10 per cent reduction was rejected
by the surface lines following an
order reducimjrfaresj. from S to 7
cents with three tickets for 20 cents.
The present wage is at a rate of 80
cents an hour. With both surface
and elevated employes out the strike
would affect about 20,000 men.
To meet the threatened tie-up auto
mobile ov.fteS were propm-nig so.ne
250,000 automobiles : tonight and
many expressed the conviction that
the automotive power of the city
alone would be able to Jake care ot
the situation. Many of the street car
employes who- own automobiles were
preparing to operate them as jitney
busses, wearing their uniforms to ob
tain public sympathy and attract pat
ronage. It also was predicted that
the unions would put big trucks on
the streets.' To handle the situation
successfully the automobile fleet,
probably the largest ever called upon
in such an emergency, would have
to handle more than 3,000,000 pas
sengers daily.

WILD MINT SAVED
LIFE OF TRAPPER
MAROONED ON ISLE
(Associated Press Night Wire)
THE' PAS, Manitoba, July 31.
After being marooned on an island
without food or shelter for 22 days,
Frank Reynard, 72, has been rescued,
according to word received here to
day.
Reynard, who is a trapper and has
a shack on Cormorant lake, went out
some three weeks ago in his canoe
searching for duck eggs. He landed
on a small rocky island and during
his search a storm blew up and his
canoe was carried away. The trap
per was isolated on a spot seldom
visited by travelers. There was no
fuel and no protection from the ele
ments. The only means of susten
ance was some half dozen duck eggs,
water snarls, small crawfish, wild
mint and roots of reeds.
He was conscious when found by
a local trapper but very weak. He is
recovering rapidly and stated ,it was
the heating and strengthening proper
ties of wild mint that kept him alive.

WASHINGTON, D. C, July 31.
Convinced that the railroad strike
would be a matter of history within
24 hours after acceptance by railroad
shopmen and transportation chiefs
of President Harding's compromise
plan, all of the government's influ
ence was mustered tonight behind the
effort to obtain adoption by the em
ployers' meeting in New York and
that of the employes in Chicago to
morrow. Chairman Hqopcr of the labor
board, after a conference with Presi
dent Harding, today left for Chicago
to be on hand when the meeting is
called of the general policy commit
tee of the striking shopcrafts unions.
Secretary Hoover left tonight to at
tend the New York meeting of the
executives.
There was little doubt in adminis
tration circles concerning acceptance
by the union leaders of the proposed
compromise settlement. Several rail
road executives, however, are known
to hold strong objections because of
their belief that it would entail aban
donment of new employes who have
stuck through the strike as well as
new men who ignored strong induce
mcnts not to accept employment.

P. A, Oliver of San Mateo, Calif.,
who has been staying at the tent city
at Pine Dells recently, is an enthusi
ast about Yavapai county. Former
ly a resident of Fort Apache in the
old days of the Indian wars,' Mr. j
Oliver had long wanted to renew
his acquaintance with Arizona, so
he set out to travel overland to re
visit the scenes of his earlier life.
During his stay here he has visited
practically every spot of interest in
Yavapai county, and yesterday told
the secretary of the chamber of com
merce that the scenery here, in his
opinion, beats anything in California
and the rest of Arizona. He is of
the opinion that in the Cherry Creek
road Yavapai has one of its greatest
scenic assets, which has been allowed
to be overshadowed by the newer
Prescott-Jerome highway. Mr. Oliver
plans to leave for the canyon rim
today. Taking about a month to
make the trip, he will visit Bryce
canyon and go over to the Utah
side.

night in the case of Mrs. Madalynne

of J. Bclton Kennedy, was ordered
late today when a majority of the

tions since last Friday afternoon, had
switched to 7 to 5 when Julge
Shenk called it in to report shortly
before 5 o'clock. The foreman stated
the numerical alignment without in
dicating whether the majority was for
conviction or acquittal.

an opinion as to whether there was
a chance foj a verdict. The, majority
relf5cf1'in'thc affirmative.
After sending the seven women and
five men jurors to the jury room the
judge directed that if they failed to
reach a verdict during the evening
they be taken to a hotel for the
night. They have passed the last
three nights in two small rooms in
the county hall of justice, where ac
commodations arc meager.
The jury at this time had broken
all records for deliberation in a
criminal case in Los Angeles county.
Mrs. Qbenchain, pale. and with drawn
features, listened intently as the
jurors reported there was' a possibil
ity of reaching a verdict. Later she
said:
"If the taxpayers can stand this
monkey business, I certainly can for
a, little while longer. I am sorry the
jurors arc subject to the confines of
the county jail."
The jury retired for the night at
7:30 o'clock. Its members announced
they would take advantage of the
court's permission to devote the
evening to recuperation and resume
their deliberations tomorrow morning.
