Un regard to the bitter attack made on the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen by the Switchmen's union, which is contemplating a strike at Chicago. Charles A. Sehl, president of the local Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, slated that the charge that the Brotherhood wag not a labor union because of the fact that they ordered their men back to work, was unjust and untrue. Mr. Sehi declared that the Switchmen's union was a separate and distinct organization and had nothing whatever to do with the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, or any of the other different organizations. Mr. Sehi declared that the Switchmen as a union in the larger cities were not looked upon with favor by the roalroad brotherhoods. Known As "Snakes." ' He stated that they had earned the name of "snakes" from the emblem which they wore, which Is a large capital "S." He Btated that in the larger cities the switchmen were called "wlgglers" and had earned a bad reputation for continually causing trouble in railroad circles and stiring up strife and a general feeling of unrest and discontent. When asked if the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen or any of the other brotherhoods would join the switchmen in their strike, Mr. Sehi stated that he was of the opinion that there was very little likelihood of any such occurrence taking place. He asserted that he thought the switchmen would be alone in the strike. Mr. Sehi
stated that President Hawley of the
Switchmen's union was largely responsible for the trouble and seemed to be waging the whole campaign.
"Everything is Hawley with the
switchmen," declared Mr. Sehi, "and there lies the seat of the whole trouble.' Mr. Sehl asserted that members of the Switchmen's union took the places of other men on strike and that they had gained a bad reputation for "scahbing."
ASKED LARGER FINE
Colored Man Pretends intoxication to Get Long . Jail Sentence.
WILL MISS XMAS DINNER
. Frank "Snooks" Murray, colored
and Tom Jurgens, white, appeared in
the city court this afternoon in answer to the charge of public intoxica
tion.
When "Snooks" saw Patrolman
Longman coming down Main street last evening, he immediately began to
stagger until he took up the whole sidewalk. The result was that his
fondest hope was realized he was pinched. Murray straightened up wonderfully after, being arrested and was able to walk unaided to the lockup, which he entered willingly with a broad grin on his shining black
countenance. The negro was fined $
and costs and was very much dissatis
fied, because his fine was not larger.
He said that fifteen days in jail would
get him out four days before Christ
, mas and he would just miss a free Christmas dinner of turkey and all the trimmings. His efforts to induce Judge Converse to increase the fine
proved futile, however. : Shortly after noon today Tom Jur
gens, another old offender, staggered
into police headquarters and declar
ing that he was drunk, asked to he locked up. Chief of Police Staubach
endeavored to convince the man that
he was not intoxicated and to move
on, but Jurgens wouldn't listen to such a procedure. His wish was gratified
and he was soon asleep on- the stone
floor of the city jail. When searched
Jurgens's pockets were found filled
with raw meat and fish, hooks. He
was not arraigned today.
