MEETING FRIDAY
ABOUTlLiy
Samuel Martin Says Business
Men Should Wait For
Public Verdict
Samuel Martin, secretary of Paine
it Hurst, Inc., who has been one of
the leading advocates of the half holi
day for store- clerks in Ogden, today
urged again that merchants make no
decision with regard to the matter un
til after Friday's mass meeting In the
Ogden Tabernacle.
"The educational campaign for a
weekly half day closing does not come
forth as a demand upon the mer
chants," Mr. Martin said. "Nor Is
there any day designated for the pro
posed half holiday. Friday's mass
meeting is to inform the merchants
that the public will co-operate with
them in doing their shopping to assist
the movement
"If the sentiment at the mass meet
ing discloses that a half holiday is
desirable, then the day for such half
holiday can be fixed. If the senti
ment at the mass meeting is against
the movement, then the matter can
be dropped."
MayorFrank Francis will preside
at the piass .meeting, which, will be
called-to order at 8 o'clock p. m. I

CORN HAS SETBACK.
CHICAGO. April 13. Corn under
went a material setback In price to
day. The .weakness was due more to.
lack of support than to any great sell-1
ing pressure. Uncertainties of the rail-J
way traffic outlook tended to make
'traders go slow for the time being.'
(Initial quotations, which ranged from,
I Vi to lc lower, with May ?1.66 to
jl.eOVt. and July $1.59 '4 to 1.59.
Jwere followed by transient rallies, but
then by declines further than before.
Oats sagged with corn. After open
ing unchanged to c lower, including
July at S5 to 85c. the markel suf
fered a moderate general fall.
Selling that was ascribed lo packers
had depressing effect on provisions,
j Upturns in the value of hogs were al
most ignored.

Confab on Conditions
Prevailing in Nation
(Continued from Page 1)
The New York Central road suc
ceeded in maintaining virtually its nor-
mal passenger service and moved con
siderable freight. All other lines en
tering the city continued crippled. -The
Pennsylvania railroad's suburban serv
ice was about 50 per cent of normal
this morning.
Officials of the "big four" brother
hoods continued their efforts to induce
"outlaws" to return to work.
In several instances attempts of the
brotherhood officials to address bodies
of strikers were repulsed with hoots
and jeers.
IN PHILADELPHIA.
' PHILADELPHIA, April 13. The
I strike situation in the Philadelphia
district appeared ' more" serious today
I than at any Lime since the men began
leaving their work last Saturday. Of
ficials of the Pennsylvania railroad ad
mitted the walkout was spreading and
estimate 1500 men. many of them
shopmen, joined the ranks of the strik
ers late yesterday and last night. This
increased the number of Pennsylvania
employes out in the district to 2500. In
the eastern region approximately 3750
were idle. Officials of the company
said they did not look for any notice
able relief for three or four days.
Freight and express traffic virtually
s at a standstill; while the curtail
ment of passenger service was in
creasing hourly. Of the 700 passenger
trains originating daily, passing
through or terminating in Philadelphia
105 were nnnulled yesterday.
The strike has seriously interfered
with coal movement and in some cases
has caused the closing down of anthra
cite mines. Shortage of cars due to
the walkout caused all the mines of
the Lackawanna Coal company in the
Wilkesbarre district, employing 20,000
men, to suspend operations yesterday.
ftATciAAV n I nctrn
WASHINGTON, April 13. "The
gateway to the south" through this
city was closed to freight traffic today
as a result of the spread of the "un
authorized" switchmen's strike to the
Potomac yards across the Potomac
mer.
Superintendent Colver said the
yards were paralyzed. The total num
ber of strikers was placed by him at
220.
Normally 3000 cars a day are han
dled through the yards, including nil
produce shipments from the south to
the east.
The Southern railway reported that
Its fast mail and passenger trains were
moving subject to' some delay. The
passenger line tracks do not go
through the Potomac yards. Other
passenger traffic was curtailed.
The singlo track bridge across the
Potomac from this city into Alexan
dria, where the Potomac yards are
located, is the only railroad inlet into
the south, east of Cincinnati.
STUDENTS VOLUNTEER.
. BALTIMORE, Md., April 13. Fif
teen hundred or more- railway workers
were reported out in the Baltimore dis
trict of the Pennsylvania and Balti- 'M
more and Ohio railroads this morning jJ
in the "outlaw" strike which began
here last evening. In Baltimore the
Pennsylvania railroad declared an em
bargo on all freight outgoing and a
coming. ;
About 100 Johns Hopkins university '
students volunteered for service and '
were accepted by railroad officials1.,
BOSTON, Mass., April 13. Effects
of the unauthorized strike of railroad
employes were felt in all parts of New
England today through further rcduc
fions and consolidations In all classes
of traffic. The yanks' of loyal work
ers remained unbroken on lines run
ning through this section. 'M
SERIOUS TURN.
CLEVELAND, O., April 13 The rail--road
strike situation in Cleveland took
on a more serious aspect this morning
when 200 car repairers and nearly
fifty car inspectors employed in the
Collinwood shops of the New York
Central lines failed to report for work
this morning following their walkout rH
last night.
It was reported that 300 more shop-
men at the New York Central shops
and 1500 in shops of other railroads
j plan lo go out on Thursday aftcrnoOD
as a result of a vote taken on Moh
day night.
I With the exception of the New York IH
Central and Nickel Plate yards wherjJ IH
a few trains of freight were moved IH
last night and early today, no freight
was handled in Cleveland terminals.
Passenger, mall and milk trains
were operated about normal. IH
Statement From Lee.
