men employed at the Calumet Iron and
Steel works at Cummings went on strike
and their places were partially filed
by new men, Friday the company
desired to ship some nails made
by the new men and the Rock Island COM

There was a CT ovid Of about 15n women on
hand, wives of the strikers, who stood on
the track and implored the engineer not to
move the cars The police cleared the
tracks and told the engineer to go
ahead. He refused, and returned
to South Chicago with his engine.
The mill engine then switched the cars to
the Rock Island track, when the Rock ISL
and engineer again refused, as did a second
crew, though commanded by Superintend-
ent Chamberlain. Both crews were then
discharged on the spot
Very few strikers were to be seen, as in.

they remained quietly at home while their

sumed with, perhaps, better means of judg-
ing all the facts and probabilities which
should be considered in its determination.
Secretary Manning has consequently ac-
cepted this proposition and will not insist
on immediate relief from the secretaryship

ANOTHER BIG 'TlE-UP."
STREET CARo IN NEW YORK AND
BROOKLYN AT A STANDSTILL.

The Object to Coorce the Third Avenue
Powderiy-A Railway Company
Frustrated by Women-Labor Notes.
NEW YORK, June "A general "tie-up'
on all the Brooklyn car lines and on all the
New York car lines, with the exception OF
the Third Eighth and Ninth avenue lines,
| was ordered by the Empire Protective as
ISOLATION shortly after midnight Friday.
The whole matter was arranged with such
secrecy that nobody but the managers OF
the corporations knew anything about it
until they saw that the cars were not run
ming Saturday morning In Brooklyn the
cars were stopped on all the lines shortly
after the first cars started, except on the
DeKalb avenue line where for some reason
or other the cars continued to run until Z
o'clock In New York the avenue line Y5AA
run with the "scab" drivers, The unex.
pectsd "tis up" caused much inconvenience
to the crowds going to their daily vocations
Notwithstanding the fact that the Third
avenue surface line was the only one in
operation, the cars of the road were only
lightly patronized, the instructions received
by the various labor unions to boycott 1t
evidently retarding many from patronizing
the road who no doubt would but for the
injunction placed upon them by the order
Of the respective trades unions
In Brooklyn visit by the United Press
reporter to the Office of the Broadway &5
Fulton avenue railroad revealed the fact
that in Obedience to the orders of the En-
pire Protective association the men en-
ployed ON the road-bed had joined with
those of the other 'tied-up" lines and
"tied-up" their cars until such time as all
the grievances of the several lines were set
tied and the Third Avenue company of New
York brought to terms None of the
strikers would say what the grievances
were nor give any information as
the cause of the strike. All along
the streets and avenues leading to the
ferries professions of working men and
women were vending their way on foot
The police have taken up positions along the
route of the various 'tied-up' roads, and
say they will protect the companies cars if
they decide to run them independent Of the
old hands The first break in the "tie-up"
in New York occurred $50, when a por-
ton of the hands of the Bleeker street COM
pany refused to stay Gat any longer, and
returned to work. The cars on this line are
now running as usual
Tho object of the general railroad tie-up
is now declared to be to coerce the Third
avenue company into giving in to the
knights. 1t is hoped by the strikers that
the other companies finding their lines tied |
up will exercise influence upon the Third |
avenue company to compel its officers to |
yield. Superintendent of Police Murray |
says that police arrangements have been |
fully completed and any outbreak by the
strikers will be suppressed.
The gravity of the strike, viewed from a
police standpoint, is evinced in general |
order ordering all patrolmen on vacation |
for duty forthwith Up to l O'Clock some
thirty cars had been run over the Bleecker
street line under police protection.

What We Know About Meteors.

-
1. The luminous meteor tracks are in the
upper part of the earth's atmosphere. Few, if
any, appear at height greater than 100 miles,
and lew are seen below height of 80 miles
from the earth's surface, except in rare cases,
where stones and irons fall to the ground. All
these meteor tracks are caused by bodies which
Come into the air from without.
=. The veloclties of the nleteors in the air are
comparIbie With that of the earth in its orbit
about the sun. IL Is not easy to determine the
exact values Of those veucitieS, yet they may
be roughly stated from So to $50 times the
velocity of sound in the air, or OF a cannon ball
.. 1t Is necessary consequence OF these We
