Show THE WESTERN V,AV TOLL RUNS HIGH ARE HIT BY STRIKE NOW THOUSAND ARE REPORTED TO HAVE LOST LIVES IN CHINESE 8TORM UNION New Santa Fb Is One of Hardest Sufferer; Embargo is Placed Upon Perish, able Freight and Also On Livestock T The Atchison, To-pek- a and Santa Fe lines continues the worst sufferers in the matter of marooned trains as a result of the walkouts of transportation brother- hood men which have tied up one transcontinental line and two lines Tunning from Salt Lake City to the iPacifie coast. The Santa Fe lines had nineteen rtrains held tip, the Western Pacific one and the Union Pacific nine. This does not include trains cancelled before their departure from terminals or emptied of passengers and annulled at points along the line. The Western Pacific's one train was at Stockton, Calif., and most of those aboard had returned the comparatively short distance to San Francisco' or had gone on to their destinations by other routes, railroad officials said. All traffic on this Una. has been indef. initely suspended. The six trains held up at Las Vegas, Nev., and other points on the Union Pacific's line across the desert from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles Saturday were run into terminals Sunday through special arrangement between the brotherhood men and the railroad, to save the passengers from suffering. Of the Santa Fe's trains, six were at Albuquerque, N. M., and had about 1000 passengers aboard. Others were at Seligman, Williams and Ash Fork, Ariz. The number of passengers at each was: Seligman, 297; Williams, 388 ; Ash Fork, 236. The railroad is feeding these passengers at its eating houses. Thirty brotherhood men, members of the night switching crew at Rose-villCalif., walked out shortly after starting their shift, the Southern Pacific lines announced here Sunday. It may be necessary to declare an embargo on fruit shipments if the walkout spreads, railroad officials said. . Kosevllle is the icing point for all Pacific fruit cars. Without switching crews, fruit cars cannot be iced at that place, and all shipments e,ast through Oregon and Utah may be indefinitely suspended. It was said. This town virtually is the neck of the bottle for traffic bound east by way of Ogden. One report had it that the walkout was attended by ringing of bells throughout the town and that crowds gathered In the streets as though for a celebration. The Southern Pacific only Saturday night lifted one embargo on perishable freight to and from the Ogden gateway. e, May Change Stamp Design V.

At the same time Russell J. Poole, secretary of the council committee on living costs, issued a statement to the effect that Chicago was well stocked with foods, declaring that any attempts to raise prices, should the strike materialize, would be plain profiteering. n Engines and Round House Burn Portland, Maine.

Bodies of 28,000 have been recovered, a death toll that triples former estimates and cuts in half the former population of the native city. These figures were given in a circular Issued by the Swatow chamber of commerce from Its branch in Hongkong. Rude coffins have been hammered together with lumber salvaged from the wreck of the city. But these cannot be knocked together fast enough to dispose of bodies which are a sanitary menace to the health of the living. Gunnysacks and mattress bags have been made into crude shrouds. Graves are hurriedly dug in the alluvial flats on which the port was built, that bodies may be interred as they are recovered from the wreckage. Shortage of food may prove another menace. British in Hongkong already have sent $10,000 for relief to the British consul at Swatow. Itice is being shipped from the British colony to the typhoon survivors. The Swatow Municipality Charitable association has organized a relief fund to which subscriptions are being sought. Benevolent societies In Hongkong are uniting in relief measures for the sufferers.
