Ail alteration Sunday in details f tho plan annour.ffi for a prr 'pres-lve national Mrlkc rf railroad employes, ordered to begin on Oct. 30, gave the rasWn states at least two days r f grace before the proposed walkout would become effective in that region. Th IV-nnfj lvania and the Krle rr:adi. Included originally In the firtit group on which tha strike was ordered, were removed from that lit. thus excluding at the start fill states east cf Chicago and north of the Ohio river. The San Dlepo and Arizona railroad w.iä added to the first of the four groups into which the unions have divided th roads for strike purpo.s. and it was derided to order the three succeeding groups out at 48-hour intervals Instead of 24 hours apart. Under this plan, with the men on the roads in group No. 1. walking out Oct. 30. the strike would be in full effect Nov. 5. The Louisville and Nashville railroad was also dropped from the first fjroup, nccordlng to the list given cut by union leaders. These changes were paid by union leaders to complete arrangements of roiKl.s to the flrt group on which walkouts would take place, and the following was made known as the official H-t of carriers in that group: "Kansas City Southern, Missouri Pacific, St. Louis Southwestern (Cotton Pelt), International and Oreat Northern. Texas and Pacific. Southcm Pacific (Atlantic system. Including Houston, eaflt and west), Texas and Houston, Texas Central, Southtin Pacific (Pacific system), San J-Mego and Arizona, Chicago and Northwestern, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul (except Chicago, Terre Haute and Southeastern), Northern Pacific, Southern Hallway (lines ast and west). Seaboard Airline, Virginian Kallroad, Chicago Great Western, Chicago, Hock Island and Pacific. While r.o official information was forthcoming as to -what group of the Penrwsyivanla linen would "be placed In. it was understood that they would 'be luwigned -to group No. 3 cn which the walkouts aro scheduled to wtart Nov. 3. All walkouts are scheduled to txgin at 6 a. ro., standard time. ITio transfer of fhe Pennsylvania line from fixoup one wax unexplained toy union leaders, but caused considerable? surprise as that road has been considered "by the unions a one of the most antagonistic of any to them and It was believed that tho fir! Ftrike would be ordered on it. By midnight Sunday, Chicago hAd leen deserted by virtually all of the le&ders ot tho "big- four "brotherhood and the Switchmen Union of North America, the organizations in which an official srtrlke call actually has he-en Issued, and the hub of the fdtu at ion was being transferred to Cleveland, whero the presidents of the five unions wi'.l meet Tuesday to comp-leo the grouping of the railroads and settle final detail of the prcpvcd walkout. The union forces gnir.ed strength Sunday when Thomas M. Pierson, vice- president of tho Order of Railroad Telegraphers, announced that the 81,000 member of his organization were positively pledged to strike ;-nd that they would make every effort to completely tie up the country's transportation proems. "It I. our aim to tie up transportation so completely that it will be lmpowiPlo for a train to move." Bald Mr. Pierson. "If every telegrapher quit -work that will mean that no train orders can 'he sent and train Fervlce necessarily will bo at a standstill. There is no question but what we win order o:ir membership out on Oct. 30. but the final instructions prabably will r.ot b issued until Oct. 21." Pifferences between officlaN of the railroad telegraphers, however, regarding the order's status in connection with the strike were dis-r!cs-d in a statement made J. Manien, pr'' of the by ll. i order. who on being advised of Mr. Tierson's announcement t'eclired the vice president had net been authorized to give any statement whatsoever. "The policy of the Order of Tta!ir.-ay Telegrapher has r.ot Wen

ing about 476.00O employes 6unday deferred the formal Issuance of a strike call pending a meeting to be held here Wednesday, but their leaders have officially announced that their organization will be caed out And that tho delay In sending out the call hftfl been caused purely by the time needed to draft the f.nal plans and orders. At the same time, however, the fhop crafts leaders have rnada It known that white they will go out

ÄWitchmen. they are not pledged to stay out aftr their own grievances have been satisfactorily adjusted. "Our organizations will return to work when they are satis.led that they have gained their Individual points," a high official said iSunday night. 'The concessions which would satisfy one body of workers might not satisfy another. It Is quite certain that we will all bo on the same track going out, but there are many sidings and wo don't have to come back together." H. M. Jewell, head of the railway employes department, American Federation of .Labor which comprise the shop crafts sahl that his men never would have been called out Independently on a question of wages alone. "Acting Independently, our men nver would go out on a question of wages alone," said Mr. Jewell. "They will fight to the las: ditch, however, for their rules and for fahr working conditions matters of principles but the executives of the shop crafts) were very much opposed to calling a strike on the wage question alone.' Mr. Jewell referred to the recent decision of the shop crafts executives not to call a strike on the wage cut ordered July 1 by the United täte railroad labor board, although the men had votel by an overwhelming majority to etrlke rather than accept tho cut Mr. Jewell Indicated that final instructions to the men under him might be delayed until after the Pennsylvania railroad hearing before the labor board scheduled to begin October 21, at vhlch time the ,Yioard may determine whether the carrier has violated the board's orders directing a new election of shop craft representatives to negotiate working rules with the management. The controversy grew out of separate elections, which the hoard declared void. It ordered new elections, but they have not been held. The shop crafts conrlder this case as a fight against their fight to negotiate "with the employers over work In sr conditions and their leaders expressed the opinion they would prefer to jtrlke on this question together wltn ihit of wages, rather than on mat of wages alone, Mr. Jewell said.

HAWKEYES LOOM AS CONFERENCE CHAMP Victor)' Over Illinois Makes Iowa Team Strong Contender for Title. CHICAGO, Oct. 16.The University of Iowa football eleven as a result of Saturday's game, Sunday night stood out as the team most likely to win the western conference football championship, Indications being that no other eleven will be tble to do more than tie the Hawkeyes, barring seemingly Impossible upsets in the remaining games of tho season. The Iowans by a 14 to 2 victory over Illinois, won -what is expected to be their only hard gamo of the season the rest of the schedule beg mado up of supposedly weaker elevens. Klimination Games. Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio State the latter again a championship contender through Its brilliant and unexpected victory over Minnesota picked by many observers as the chief contestants of Iowa'e title claims meet each other In contests which aro suro to eliminate two of tho trio and which may mean defeat for all three. Iowa meets none of them and, thus favored by the RChedule is a championship possibility for the first time In years. The standing of the teams, including only conference games follows: Won Lost Chicago 2 0 Iowa 1 0 Wisconsin 1 0 Ohio jtate 1 o Minnesota 1 1 Illinois 0 1 Purduo 0 1 Northwestern 0 3 Indiana and Michigan have not played conference games. Iowa now plays only Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern and Minnesota of the conference elevens. Purdue, beaten by a minor college and by Chicago. Indiana, admittedly weak, and Northwestern already defeated in th.-ee big ten games, are not expected to furnish much opposition to the Hawkeyes. Minnesota seems weak after the 27-0 defeat by Ohio State Saturday. Ol do 3 roots Michigan. Ohio State, however, mut defeat Michigan, Chicago and Illinois, all good elevens, to go through with a clean slate. Michigan, besides meeting Ohio State plays Wisconsin and Illinois, while Wisconsin meets Illinois, Ohio Stato and Chicago. Chicago is considered as an eleven not likely to be the champion but able to cause trouble. Ohio State's brilliant comeback over Minnesota Saturday after the Ohloans had lost to a minor college a week previous, was an upset seldom equalled in past years. Next Saturday will come the real test for Ohio State and for Michigan when they meet at Ann Arbor. Wisconsin will tackle Illinois at Urbana and Indiana plays at Minnesota. , Chicago will go east for the Intcrsectlonal clash with Princeton without much hope of victory but with the view o holding down the score. Princeton will be handicapped by having J'jt come out of two hard games, while Chicago rested Saturday and the players should be Tri perfect physical shape. HUSH PEMOXSTItATIO.V. LONDON. Oct. 16.

BOOSTERS. SOUTH BEND

1 J. DR. FRED R. CLATP. Prominent physician and Surgeon, ARTISTS APPEAR IN PROGRAM AT OLIVER TONIGHT Grace Holverscheid, a South Bend Girl, and Helen Wing in Musical Numbers. American Club Women have as their motto "Hear American Music First." The people of South Bend will have an opportunity this evening, In the Rotary room of the Oliver hotel, to hear two American artists, and what is more, on of them Is a South Bend girl, who has always been pleased to give her best efforts to her home town. She le Grace Fink HolverfK-hied, who after having spent time and money in training without solicitation offers to tKt her old home by giving a recital for the benefit of the Progress club permanent homo fund. The music critic of the Chicago Tribune offers the following criticism of Mr9. Holverschled and her accompanist. "This unusual company is hard to describe either with words or picture, for personality plays so large a part in their programs and It is neither the type you can photograph or fittingly describe for soul photography has not yet been perfected. Helen Wing and Grace Holverschled aro both artists in that big, human way t!iat wins tho eye, and heart and car. They know how to get in touch with an audience intimately and quickly. There Is not on the Lyceum platform today a team of lingers and entertainers fo well matched for delighting all types of audiences. Ella W. Peattie, in the Asheville. X. C. Citizen aptly describes them: "The program, included more than a dozen of TIelen Wings composition, threo songs by McDermid, a group of rarely charming son?s by Scott. Silberta, Crist and Hagerman, and some pleasant old ballads. The evening left on those present an impression of vitality, brightness and vigor. "Grace Holverscheid has a soprano voice best described as opulent. Her wide register Is full and rich in its whole range. It hau power and control, and is used bj- its possessor equally well In fine dramatic passages, and in lyric or in light effects. Thero is even humor In the voice a thing rare in an organ so powerful. This remarkably fine voice is the medium by which a young woman of unusual outgoing personality expresses herself. Her platform training is excellent, her poise complete; and some essence of courage and fine determination breathes through all her work. Helen Wing is a composer of varried moods and themes. Love songs, children's songs, little songs scherzos, dance songs and Mother Goose ditties, all come from her abundant musical invention. There is an irreeistiblo quality of them a swing and verve and something that may be best described as Intimacy, which makes them appeal to everyone. From the gay little whimsicality. "Eskimoe" to the very lovely lyric "Love Has Come Like a Melody," she held and delighted her audience. The three children's songs were delectable. Helen Wing accompanied her friend and never were singer and pianist in better accord. She recited her own song3 in her peculiar and interesting way. much as Carrie Jacobs Bond does hers. Also Mrs. Ilolverscheld Fang a number of her companion's compositions, lending to them tho fine restful interpretation and rich music of her voice." PEDESTRIANS SCARED WHEN TROLLEY BREAKS Pedestrians In the vicinity of Park and Navarre sts., were terrified about 8 o'clock last night when a high voltage trolley wire broke under the strain of a passing street car and fell upon the trick. Flashes when the contact was made illuminated tho entire neighborhood.
