They always knew where everything

Chicago. More than half a million
American railroad men have been
ordered to initiate a strike October
30, while other unions whose member
ship brings total to about two million,
announced unofficially that they were
preparing to follow suit and make the
walkout general, on the same dates.
Under this program the tie-up would
be complete, according to union pre
dictions, by November 2.
The hour 13 fixed for 6 a. m., Oct
ober SO, except for one Texas line,
whose trainmen were authorized to go
out October 22.
The railroads listed in the first
group on which the strike is to be
come effective, touch forty-two of the
forty-eight states with a trackage of
73,000 miles out of the total United
States trackage of approximately 200,
000. '
The New England states comprise
the group that is virtually untouched
in the first walkout
The strike orders were issued to the
big five brotherhoods, oldest and most
powerful of the railway unions, and
they specifically included mail trains
In the walkout Their provisions in
structed strikers to keep away from
railroad property with a warning that
"violence of any nature will not be tol
erated by the organizations."
.The strike was announced follow
ing an overwhelming vote, said to be
upwards of 90 per .cent, favoring a
strike because of a 12 per cent wage
reduction authorized by the United
States railroad labor board of July 1,
and after it was declared by the Asso
ciation of Railway Executives in ses
sion here recently that a further re
duction would be sought by the rail
roads. It was said that the strike
decision was made before the ... an
nouncement of this further cut. Print
ed Instructions as to conduct of the
strike, issued in Chicago, were dated
recently, October 14. --'
- "I ffear it wHE&a ona'of Iha most
serious strikes in -American transport
tatfon history," said W; G. Lee, pres
ident of the railroad trainmen, who
during recent weeks has sent circu
lars to his men warning them of the
critical nature of the steps they con
templated. Chicago. T. C. Cashen, president of
the switchmen's organization recently,
said that the Detroit, Toledo -atod Iron
ton railroad, owned by Henry Ford,
would be the onlyone not affected by
a strike, lie said that , Mr. Ford's
treatment had made it unnecessary
to organize men on that road, and that
they consequently were not affected
by the strike order.
Mr. Cashen said that general head
quarters for the strike would be In
Cleveland. Hearquarters of the
Switchmen's Union of North America
will be moved there from Buffalo, and
the Order of Railway Conductors will
transfer its headquarters from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, to Cleveland, he added

Perhaps the fly-paper on the side

this case Fly-paper certainly did seem
to understand In a remarkable way
what was going on.
At any rate Alice had walked over
to the Fly-paper and. In trying to

yond the side table, she had put both
her hands on too ny-paper.
, "Oh dear, oh dear," Alice said, at

horrible stickiness off, "if I hadn't
been absent minded I would have no
ticed that fly-paper, I simply won't
be absent minded again, ever, ever,
ever!"
Without a doubt Good Habit over
heard that speclh .
Alice was never absent minded
again. And whenever she spoke of
the earlier days t In which she had
, been so absent, minded she always
gave the Fly-paper the credit for hav
