THE REJECTION OF BROTHERHOOD'S ULTIMATUM AND COUNTER PROPOSITION BY RAILROADS\u2014ONLY WILSON CAN SAVE SITUATION.New York, Mar.15,\u2014A \u201cprogress- ve strike\u201d of the 400,000 membcez oi the four great railroad brotherhoods.to begin at 6 o'clock (central! time) Saturday on eastern roads, was ordered here late today.The walkou: will extend to all the railroads in the country withih five days.Chiefs of ti workmens organizations set tne strike machisery in motion within + few minutes after an ultimatum d.- livered to the conference conimittee of railroad managers had been rejected.A compromise proposal offered by the managers was decline4 without debate.Only successful intervention by President Wilson, it appeared tonight, can avert a strike.The brotherhood leaders gave no indication that even an appeal from the na£ions chief executive can change their purpose to obtain a basic cight hour day snd pro rata time for overtime through the use of the \u201cprotective feature\u201d of their organizations.They refused fiatly to submit their case to the eight hour commission leaded by Major-General George W.Goethals or to await the decision of the Supreme Court on the constitutional ity of the Adamson law.Freight employees, yardmen and engine hostlers on the New York Central lines, east and west, the Nickel Plate and Baltimore an.Ohio raifreads.and in the great yards! in Chicago and St.Louis, will be the first to leave their posts.They will be followed on Sunday by the same classes of workmen on the Southern Railway.the Norfolk and Western, the Virginian, Chesspeake and Ohio and on a group of north western roads.No formal outline of the brotherhoods program.beyond the plans for | these two days, was made either to the managers or to the publie.It was said.however, that the freight em- ployces on the other roads in the country would be called out in groups at 12 or 24 hours intervals af:er Sunday.1 the paralysis of freight traffic thus caused does not result in surrender by the railroads hefore that time, the employees on Il passenge trains will be ordered out Wednesday.The railroad managers said tonight they expected that enough of their ren would remain loyal to enable them tn operate a skeleton service on most roads.The managers some time ago caused a census of their employees to he taken to determine ow many refuse to go on strike.This resulted, it was said, in varying percentages, ranging from a very few rr per cent vn uthers, tween 30,008 ployed on the roads on wich the hoods was based upon the contention on the Adamson Acttheir

38\u2014Events leading up to the revolution began a week ago with street demu astrations of workingmen who quit work as a protest against the shortage sf bread.The first two days mounted patrols kept the crowds moving without re- eorting to violence.When ordered to fire on the people they refused.Police were substituted and a battle occurred between thesia -the-soh diers, - Regiment after\u2019 regiment joined the revolters and seized -arsenals and other strategie points.- Until Sunday night there was no intimation that the affair would grow to the proportions of a revolution.From then until Tuesday morning almost continuous fighting in the curred leaving the revolutionists in full control.The latter are proceed- in to re-organize the government.Today the city emerged from a week's nightmare of revolution and figurativ-'y speaking smiled under a brilliant flood of sunshine following the series of gray days ending witk 8 snowstorm yesterday evening.The planks were pulled down from windows long closed.Stores.banks and business establishments of every description re-opened their doors for the resumption of ordinary activities seemingly as confidence in the new temporary government gained jo force.Truck sledges and little sleighs for hire, the most widely appreciated conveniences of Russian cicies, began to appear again in the streets which for six days had been absolutely void of any means of private fransporta- tion.Newspapers, with the exception of revolutionary publications, which sprang into life with the success of the revolt, had failed to appear.Street car service at noon had not becn resumed, but it was believed that night would sce partial service.The only visible signs of the desperate clash of authority which turned the city into a battle ground were the charred ruins of the jail, which are still pouripg a cloud of smoke shy- ward, and here and there the remains of other police institutions and the homes of the few individuals who were regarded as offenders agaiînat the rights of the people.Tn front of other government institations, which apparently it was not seen fit to destroy are piles of charred embers showing where wreckage and documents had been dumped ané consum.« The defenders of the old regime\u2014 Annhtless a few remais uacaptured by the police\u2014put up a last feeble \u2018ense \u2018st night from the roofs of the wrecked Astoria Military Hotel and St.Isaacs Catbedral.facing on two sides of the same square.They were soon silenced by thg sharpshooters of the new authority.With the re-opening of bread.sugar tea, and meat shops queues of women with shopping bags and baakets lined up often to the length or a block to replenish stores exhausted by the fong siege.The most phenomemal feature of the revolntion has been the swift and orderly transition whereby H 16, streets and throughout the city oc- | ff the control of the city passed from!

was evidently anticipsted, and the residents of Tsarkoe-Selo were warned to make ail arrangements to remain in the suburb for an indefinite period, and the roads leading to the tows were guarded.\u201d The immediate occurrences leading +0 Monday's develcpments began at 8 o'clock Sunday evening, when the men of the Volynsky regiment shot their officers and revolted after receiving an order to fire upon striking workingmen in one of the factory cistricts.Another regiment detailed against the muniteers also joined the revolt.The news spread rapidly to the other barracks and four more regiments went over.Some of the revolting troops marched to the famoas St.Peter and St.Paul fortress oa the wit bank of the Neva, and after a brief skirmish with the garrison took »ossession of it.On Tuesday revolutionary publi.ations appeared in the streets, with the simple caption \u201cnews,\u201d contain- ng a resume of the developments.They were eagerly read by all class.*s.Rodzianko's telegram to the Em peror and others to the commanders of the troops at the front were reproduced.The first message to the Emperor was as follows: \u2018The situation is grave.Anarchy reigns in the capital.The govern: ment is paralyzed.The transport of provisions and fuel is completely d'sorganized.General dissatisfaction 1s growing.Irregular rifle firing is occurring in the streets.It is necessary to charge immediately\u2018 some person trusted by the people to form 8 new government.It is impossible to linger, since delay means death.Praying God that the responsibility in this hour will not fall upon a crowned head.\u201d jo Later President Rodsianko sent the following to the Emperor: \u201cThe position is becoming more serious.It is imperative that \u2018mmed- late measures be taken, becanse to- jmorrow will be too late.\u2018The las: our has come when the fate of the fatherland and the dynasty are being decided\u201d Similar telegrame were sent to all the commanders at the

angry discontent with the government that, pervading the entire population of Russia, bad reached the ignition pont.Thus small manifestations of hungry factory workers crying for bread changed in » single day into a revolution which swept the whole city, spread ts the government troops who Lad been called to hold the crowds in check, and, supported by the Duma, ended in the downfall of the givernmen:.The revelations in the Duma of government stupidity and corruption, and allegations of treason against the members of the cabinet unt a wave of protest through -the £>untry, and all political factions.ex cept a small reactionary group.still cherishing traditional ideas of the old regime which existed before Russia received @ constitution, declared themselves firmly against the sinister iufluences which had been undermining the best efforts of the country successfully to carry on the war.Even the Imperial Council, which never before in the history cf the country had allied itself with the popular will, held special meetings, in which attention was called to the \u201cserious conditions to which the country had been brouglt by the unscrupulous designs of governmental heads.\u201d With unanimity unprecederted the entire population presented a solid front against the government.The belief prevailed everywhere and was expressed that pro-German conn circles and the government were doing everything in their power to interfere with the proper conduct of the war and bring about a separate peace.Sturmer.Rasputin and Protopopoff formed a picturesque trio, known as \u201cthe dark forces\u201d against which the chief animosity of the country was directed, but powerful as they were.these figures were declared to be only symbols of German influence which was \u201cmililating against the patriotic desire of the mass of the Russian people for war until victory.\u201d After the assassination of Rasputin and the removal of Sturmer from the Premier ship, the same Ministerfal influence, wearing a new mask in the form of a changed eabinet, Duma officials declared, still flourished with undiminished strength.Direct appeals were made to the Emperor by all sorts of representative bodies and influential officials to save the country from the disaster which threatened it and to appoint a new cabinet which might enjoy the confidence of the people, But the government, except for empty concessions and compromises, remained obdurate to all wppeals and showed.not the slightest inclination to change the direction, of its policy or td accede to the demands more and more loudly expressed.It was the opinion of the majority of the deputies in the Duma that, despite this state of affairs, an oper revolution was impossible.as the country realized that a revolution would seriously integpupt the work of the war end would be playing into the hands of those who had this very end in view.Open letters were printed in the Petrograd newspapers from popu lar Duma leaders and proclamations | were posted in the streets urgently begging the population not to create demonstrations or cause any disorders which might lead to interruption of the manufacture of munitions or paralyze the industrial activity of the city.Manifestations already arranged lor March 6, including a gener! strike and the marching to the Duma of a deputation of working men were in this way averted.But the moment was only postponed, as by this time the people.who had been long vaguely disturbed by the political anrest and whe were convinced finally that they were being exploited by the hostile ment, received what they considered to be the last proof of the inefficiency and corruption of their own government when they were spprised that the already insufficent supply of food had become still more meagre and that for some days it would be necessary to go without bread altos gether, Patient and long suffering by nature, this was too much for the population of Petrograd, who knew that the interior of Russia was stored with immense quanaities of grain and all kinds of provisions, and, without any other motive at first than to voice a demand for bread, the people paraded the streets and th: demonstrations began which soon kindled into a revolution.: The scene at the Duma before the revolution was in fuil flame was ex- treordinary.The members stood about the broad

RIDICU Quebec.There may be à few more LES games here between teams which did Hn Dot get much chance at the big ricks le over for 1917.Quebec's showing in the N.H.Awas rather m jal.In the first sec- series by trying out his players in every combination possible during the closing games of the first part of the schedule.And Mike's juigment proved to be sound, Quebec came back gamely in the second nalf and won eight out cf ten.Unfortunately at the critical time, when the real test came, Bulldogs cracked badly and exhibiting the the form which they showed during the ficat series, they were beaten at Ottawe by the overwheiming and humitiat- ing margin cf 16 to 1.Had Quebec been beaten by a reasomable score, the memory of their determined Sght to win out the second series \u2018and earn the right to play off with Canadians would linger in the minds of staunch supporters of the club.Their crushing defeat, however, destroyed all the good effect their pre vious victories had caused and besides being very much \u201cin the hole\u201d où the season's receipts, the team's hockey value, in the eves of too many fans, has also deteriorated.Next season \u201cMike\u201d Quinn and his

town that the D.& A.were protesting the victory of the Canadian Northern Ryteam the other night which gave the Railway Men\u201d the championship.Owen Kelly, secretary of the champions stated to The Chronicle last evening, that sach talk was absolute- ty ridiculous.\u201cI understand that the protest is based on the question of Patry's eligitility.Patry played all last season with u: is a bona

anyone of our boys.Everyone is a Canadian Norihern Rn employee, and the team which won this season is pratcically the same as last year's, It sounds like a joke to hear about the D.& A.protesting, said Mr.Kelly, especially when they had players such as Gagne and Bouchard.whose standing in regard to the firm is rather questionable.It may be recalleu that Gagne feft town on \u201cholidays\u201d after Laval's chances for the charme pionship were finished.He returned when the club was winning last winter the crowd seeemd apathetic.The reason is hard to find Some people argue that gambling and

sre a few who don't go because they claim the games are \u201cfixed\u201d \u2014these, however, mav be discounted as they wouldn't go to any game of agy kind whether they were fixed or not *Joe\u201d Hall told us a reason on the way back from Ottawa and Joe's theory is not a bad one.He said; \u201cWeil, 1 guess the crowd down in Quebec are tired of seeing the same old bunch playing for Quebec and

predicted has cvidently arrived, but they are addressed to the { Corset Factory and not to the Post Office.Mr.Kelly strongly obiected to the charges of dirty play laid against a member of his team.The player, Eddie Waiters, accidentally struck Morency with his stick ard aîl during the match was compelled to defend himself against the attacks of the D.& A.players who sough revenge.Concerning the challenge from St.Georges Amateurs, Mr.Kelly stated that the team would be pleased to accept, but having had to play a scheduled game on Monday, the 12th, and being compelled, against their wishes to play off for the championship on Wednesday, 14th, they are forced to decline, as it will be readily seen that three such games in a week are too much for even a pro team in this weather.The C.N.Ry secretary stated that the club was obliged to decline an invitation to play a game against the Montreal champions.as stress of business made such a trip Impossible.\u201cWe are through for the season,\u201d said Mr.Kelly.\u201cWe beat the D.& A.two out of three games and won the championship fairly and squarely on the ice, and we do not propose to have it taken from us ir committee room.We lost the champiunship last season in a ploy-oft, but though it was a bitter pill to swallow, we were the first to congratulate our opponents, To date\u2014we have failed to receive any felicitarions

Australian, into a match.with no success.He is now ready tu pass up the famous kangsroo jumper and let Darcey do the chasing.It would be a fine thing for boxing if Gibbons were given the title.It would put an end to such exhibitions as that put on a short time ago In New York when Jack Dillon and Al McCoy battled.Also, it would end for all time any argument as to whether Al McCoy is entitled to the cham pionship.As a matter of fact.McCoy is not entitled to the championship any more than anyone else.To be a chimpion boxer should be able to defeat the best in his class.McCoy has not even kept pace with Freddie Welsh.There is only one real defeat marked up against Gibbons since he began boxing in 1908, and that was when Jimmy Clabby was awarded a decision at the end of ten rounds with the famous St.Paul flash.eH has shown badly in one or two no-dccision con- teats, an:eng them being one with Soldier\u201d Bartfield, and one with Packey McFarland.He was generally credited with having been out- boxed in both of these affairs.1# Gibbons sticks to his claim and intends to defend the crown.he will have plenty of supporters.Most any one will be willing to concede him the

and Fred Anderson were the two newcomers, Cf the pair Sallee flached the better wares.The long left-hander sent a few of his sweeping curves over the plate in the first three innings.He pitched for the regulars and was opposed by Ferdinand Schupp.The colts could not score on Salles and made but two hits.Schupp was hit safely onlv twice, but allowed a run in the second inning.Zeke Lohman was

after the sixth inning and the game was finished by Jaynes, for the regulars, and Anderson, for the colts.Anderson's most effective ball is the spit ball, but he did not atitempt to use that Jelivery today.Consequently he was hit rather freefy and the colts tied the score again in tie ninth, At this point McGraw called off the game uz he wanted tn give bis infield some practice.The best hitting
