GIANT RAILROAD STRIKE
IS THREATENED IN U. S.
Chicago Newspaper Says Every Line East and
West Is in Imminent Danger of a
Complete Tie-Up.
OPERATING EMPLOYES WANT MORE PAY
Associated Praia *
< hicago. Dee. 4.—The Tribune this morning ways:
The I nited States is threatened with the greatest railroad strike in the his-
tory of the nation.
Practically every railroad line m the country east and west is in immi-
nent danger of being completely tied up bv a walkout on the part of a large
number of ita employes.
Officers of the organizations of engineers firemen trainmen and switch-
men have agreed upon a uniform demand of a 10 per cent wage increase
without deviation or compromise.
That the crisis is approaching rapidly was indicated vesterdav bv the an-
nouncement at New York by officers of the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men that they would present their demands on the 11th of this month and
the wage conferences will begin on the 15th. Although every effort will be
made toavert a general strike it is impossible to predict what the outcome of
the conference will be.
Both the railroads and the leaders of
organized labor among the railroad ent
ployea are preparing for the struggle
which when it once begins will with
out doubt develop into one of the groat
ext industrial battles that has ever been
fought in this or any other land. The
attitude of the leaders on both sides of
the dispute which menaces the indus-
trial peace of the country is at the
present time that of iron stubbornness.
While it is known that it is not the
plan of the leaders in the railroad labor
organizations to call out all the men
at one time their intention is said to be
by those who are acquainted with their
plans to call out sufficient men on each
big system to make operation a practi-
cal impossibility.
This means that over a million men

Jury Breaks Document Declar-
ing in favor of the
Legal Heirs.
LEFT AN ESTATE OF $15000
Testimony That She Had Been
Earnest Worker in Fra-
ternal Ranks.
Unless recourse is had to the higher
courts all interest of several fraternal
criers and benevolent institutions in
the $15000 estate of Mrs. Mary Ann
Shardein is lost by the verdict of a
Jury in the Thirty seventh district court
returned this morning breaking the will
of the decedent and declaring in favor
of the legal heirs.
Mrs. Shardein an aged citizen of San
Antonio died December 29. 1907. at her
borne on Arsenal street. Bv the terms

ezeeotion of two ssoo legacies was left

p.inns' home of Fort Worth the Order
of the Eastern Star. San Antonio. San
Antonio Commandery Knights Templar

When the will was filed for probate

wa« taken from the probate of the will
in the county court to the Thirty-sev-
en‘h district court the allegation be

thus the rightful and legal heirs were
cut off from the estate.
Was an Active Member.
The case had been hotly tried in the
Thirty-seventh court since last Mon-
day Members of the Order of the East
ern Star and of the other fraternal or-
ders name.l as beneficiaries testified
that Mrs. Shardein had been an active
member of the various organizations
and that in no manner had nny influ-
ence been used to persuade her to will
any portion of her estate to them.
A total of over 50 witnesses were
placid on the stand. The case went to
the jury last night after extended argu-
neut by counsel. The twelve men were
out all night in deliberation returning
a verdict on the opening of court this
morning in favor of the contestants
breaking the will and cutting off the
fraternal and religious orders from a
share in the estate.
T. T Vanderhoeven appeared for the
defendants and C. A. Davies and Wil-
liam Aubrey for the contestants.

will engage directly in a battle with
the railroads unless some fortunate cir-
cumstance arises to avert the trouble.
More than 150000 miles of railroad
track will cease to bear their burdens
of freight and passengers with the con-
sequent paralysing effect on the com-
merce of the country unless a settle-
ment is reached quickly.
Bo serious has the situation become
that early this week the railroad presi-
dents quietly notified the largest ship-
pers along their lines that they had
best prepare for an emergency and the
shippers so notified including miners of
coal manufacturers jobbers and ship-
pers of grain and other food stuffs
have been exerting themselves to the
utmost to lay in the necessary stocks
and distribute their products into the
consuming centers.

WORRY AND SHOCK CAUSE
Facts Are Gradually Coming to
Light—Board May Take
a Week’s Time.
Gradually the facts surrounding th.
cause of Sergeant Major Bogart's nn
timely end are coming to light but th.
board of officers detailed to make th»
investigation so as to clear the mat
ter as far as possible find the prog
ress very slow.
Yesterday and today were spent n
trying to ascertain whether the suieid.
was caused by a physical or mentally
depressed condition. It is thought
there was a combination of the two.
as it is generally known Sergeant Bo
gart had been drinking and this ac-
counts for his weakened physical
state. The telephone message he re
fused to answer is supposed to have
caused him to become broken spirited
and the fact that there wore two worn

gaged to marry and another who ap
peared unexpectedly and on whom he
would have had to cal) and entertain
was too severe a strain on his weak

act.
