It Works from the Inside"
The Last Word in Awning Progress
It works from the inside without raising the window or screen. The shade
area exceeds that of the old style awning. There are no slide rods or slides to
stick and jam. There are no braces to be released before it is operated. It is
practically out of sight when rolled up. When renewals of. Duck are necessary
the cost is much less than for the old style awiling.
We have the EXCLUSIVE AOENCY, and can furnish them for a short
time ONLY, at the same price as for the old style awning. We therefore offer
the "IDEA IDEAL" in awnings for Hotels, Office Buildings and Residences,
firmly convinced that because of its Easy and Noiseless Operation, its Neat, At
tractive Appearance, its Fundamental Simplicity, its "Ultimate Cheapness, and
its increased Shade Giving Qualities it is far and away the best window awn
ing on the market. If you have been tryingJ;o solve

LROADS CANNOT AFFORD JO GRANT
INCREASED PAY NOW DEMANDED
Chicago, HI., Aug. 9. Railroad of
ficials in Chicago hare begun arranging
conferences to discuss the strike that
is said to threaten all -western lines,
with the purpose of presenting an un
divided front, if action is taken by em
ployes. Officers of the Chicago, Rock. Island
& Pacific railroad denied the strike
rumors and said their employes had
made no demands. Other lines admitted
that the responsibility of a strike -was
being discussed In informal conferences
among officials.
According to reports in circulation
among railroad men, all the "western
lines hare been sent a series of de
mands from the shop -workers, the
principal items of -which follow:
Physical examination and personal
record blank requirements to be dis
continued. A flat increase of 15 percent in
wages. 4
An eight hour day. '
Time and one-half for day service
after 5 p. m.f and double time after
midnight.
One apprentice to be employed for
every five mechanics and this ratio to
be maintained.
Apprentices not to "work overtime.
Employes laid off on account of a re
duction of force to be reemployed fn
the order they have been laid off.
Plece -work premium system to be
abolished.
The management of the Southern
railroad has issued a circular pointing
out that the demands -would mean an
additional outlay for that company
alone of $2,796,000 each year.
v It is set forth in the circular that In 1
the last five years the -wages of the
shop crafts hare been increased on the
i average 12 percent, and in some cases
as high as 30 percent.
Julius Kruttschnitt, rice president of
the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroads today said:
"The situation is serious. "We have
been asked to deal with -what appears
to be an association of all the shop
workers in regard to the demands for
higher -wages and better working con
ditions that would mean an outlay of
$7,000,000 to the Harriman roads. I
am not in a position to forecast wheth
er a general strike vsill be galled but it
is certain we do not feel that a demand
for increased pay Is justifiable at this
time."
"The railroads have reached a point
-where they cannot afford to pay more
money to their .workers and if a
struggle is to come I know of no bet
ter time that the present, ' said another
railroad official.

NEW RAILWAY IN
MEXICO BUILDING
Financed by European Capi
tal, Is Going Ahead
Steadily.
On May 10, 1910, the government of
Mexico granted a concession to Prim
"Wood, of Mexico City, for the build
ing of a railway from Santa Xiucre
cia to Campeche, a distance of ap
proximately 750 kilometers. The rail
road was incorporated under the name
of the Veracruz, Tabasco & Campeche
railway.
Mr. "Wood has financed the con
struction of the road with English
capital and grading has already been
commenced, ine point l wmuii in
struction has commenced is Santa
Lucretla( on the Veracruz & Isthmus
railway, hut It is likely that when the
rainy season is over, work will be
commenced also from Campeche.
The entire route, through the states
of Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco and Cam
peche, traverses a very rich and in
teresting part of Mexico, which has
long needed railway facilities. This
new railway, at its western end, con
nects with the National Railways sys
tem, and at the eastern end with the
United Railways of Yucatan.
It is interesting to many to note
that the financing of this railway has
been accomplished even in the face of
the late revolution. ,

LETTER OP INQUIRY FOR
AMERICAN INSURGENT ARRIVES
Frank Langan. chief clerk at the
Sheldon hotel, has received seven
pages, closely written, of gibberish
from J. Errickson, of Chicago, about
one Muldoon, for whom Errickson is
searching. This Individual, the writer
says,' participated in the battle of
Juarez, captured the keno hall and did
other equally brave and warlike feats
of valor. No reward is offered for the
information to be furnished, so Frank
Tias turned the letter over to the
J bureau of animal industry.
RATE RULING TO
HELP THE PACIFIC
Freight Will Not All Be
Hauled Across Desert
x Country Now.
There is much confusion among rail
road men as to the results which will
follow from the decision rendered by
the Interstate commerce commission
ordering a substantial reduction In
freight rates on western railroads, the
effect of which will also be felt to
a lesser extent by the eastern roads
The decision involves such a compli
cated situation that railroad officials
are unwilling to make any definite
statements as to the outcome until
they have had more time to look into
the matter
There is a feeling among them, how
ever, that the total loss In revenue
will not be so great as might be in
ferred from the percentage of the rate
reduction. For instance, some hazard
a guess that the loss in revenues to
all the roads, by compliance with the
order, might be somewhere around
$10,000,000, all told. As a possible
offset to this it Is admitted tha't the
lower rates may encourage the devel
opment of a larger volume of traffic,
from sections In which heretofore In
dustrial developments have been more
or less handicapped by high freight
rates. --
At the most, the estimate of $10,000,
000 loss would apply on freight traffic
from which total earainers for the
country are about $2,000,000,000.
This decision in regard to the long
and short haul business taken In
connection with the building of the
Panama canal, will force the railroads
to use the Pacific coast as well as the
Atlantic and middle west as distribut
ing points.
Railroad men express the opinion
that the railroads will find it neces
sary to organize steamship companies
before the big waterway is completed,
and, having the business end well de
veloped, will get the bulk of the Pa
nama business. In other words. In
stead of dragging millions of tons of
freight across the deserts and the
mountains of the far west to reach the
ultimate consumer, the freight will be
carried from the Pacific coast east
ward as far as the deserts and from
the Great Lakes, the Atlantic seaboard
and the Gulf of Mexico westward to
the borders of desolation.
Thus every mile of railroad will have
a great density of traffic, except the
mileage across the desert, which will
be used for occasional freight ship
ments and for passenger trains Stu
dents of the question aver that this
will tend to develop the country more
rapidly than the present system, and
all the railroads will share in the new
development, and will derive greater
profit than from the present wasteful
methods of transporting freight.
Railroad men also declare that the
long and shotft haul decision is a
splendid thing for the carriers, and
that it marks the beginning of a new
era of prosperity.
