THE RUMORS CON
CERNING BURDICK
effect that he is slated to fall heir to
the Frazier administration in 1922
for services to be rendered in this
campaign. Some credence is also giv
en to the gossip that the league bosses
will use all their influence to get Mr
Burdick to run as a third candidate
in the recall election. Figuring that
he may hslve a following in the I. V. A
ranks they trust that his personal pop
ularity would get him enough votes
away from R. A. Nestos to defeat the
independent candidate for governor.
RAILROAD WORKERS
IN FAVOR OF STRIKE
Chicago, Aug. 31—Members of the three large union
organizations of the railroad workers, are voting over
whelmingly in favor of the strike rather than accept the
cut in wages, according to information gathered by the
United Press at large railroad centers today.
The voting of the trainmen, clerks and shop men is
being taken with other railroad labor organizations, on
the proposition of accepting the 12 1-2 per cent cut in
wages, or "leave the employment of the company" are
strongly in favor of the walkout, if further negotiations
with the railroads are useless. In some cities such as Den
ver, the vote was reported 100 per cent against accepting
the wage cut. Chicago, St. Paul and other cities report
the vote six to one in favor of the strike.
Cleveland, Aug. 31.—Members of the big five railroad
brotherhoods with their headquarters here, have voted di
rectly in favor of the strike, it became known today. Cop
ies of the ballots were sent out to the half a million mem
bers of the brotherhood of the big five, the United Press
learned today, but the question is whether or not they
wouldsaccept the wage reduction ordered by the U. S. rail
road labor board.

newing the civil war. Orders were sent to all men of the
Irish republican army to be ready for instant mobilization.

these men are arrested it will mean a break in the truce.
They slipped away from the authorities and are hiding un
secret Sinn Fein strongholds. Everywhere preparations
were quietly but rapidly being made for war, following
the report of the carnage in Ulster, in which over 60 cas
ualties were reparted fi-om the internicine warfare. "An

sult of the Mexican supreme court action in holding as

ment, and the signing of the treaty of amnisty and com
merce between the two nations.
