"A GIGANTIC STRIKE.
Prospect that all the Western
Roads will be Involved.
A PITIABLE FREAK IN THE
FORM OF A MAN

A Victim of Ossification-Born a Slave
on Plantation in Prince William
County, va.-A Gradual stiffening of the
Limbs and Body, Commencing When He
Was Eight Years Old.
CHICAGO, April IA strike on all the
western roads centering in Chicago is one
of the possibilities of the near future. No
other subject is discussed at secret meet
ings of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and Firemen. The impression
prevails among the men that the western
roads have determined upon general
and sweeping reduction in wages.
During the past week several things
have transpired which tend to strengthen
that impression. For several days adver-
tisements have been printed asking nom
union engineers to call at the office on
Dearborn street. Many of the late Bur
llngtOn engineers, who are still
members of the Brotherhood, responded
to this advertisement for the purpose of
ascertaining its import. Their statements
are that they were examined as to their
ability, and their names and addresses
taken, and We're told that they would be
sent for. They were not informed on
what road they were likely to be needed.
In an interview last night leading Of
ficial said that cut in wages is almost
inevitable on all the roads running west
from Chicago Nothing but phenome-
nal increase in business can prevent it,
and there is no reason to expect any i'm
prOvement.
Officials declins to statate whether any
combination or agreement has been made
between the railroads. There is a rumor
that such combination has been effect
ed, and that the Chicago, Milwaukee
and ST. Paul has been selected on which
the test shall be made. 1t is alleged that
April 18th the engineers and firemen will
be notified of reduction to go into ef-
feet on and after the middle of the
month. If this is done it is said it will
result in tie up of all the western and
southwestern roads.

A PlTIABLE FREAK.
His Body Resembles Metal, and is Totally
Without Sensation.


New YORK, April 12.-Another victim
of essiffcation arrived in this city yester-
day and is now staying at the Interna-
tional hotel on Park row. He is a col
ored man, Lucian Monroe, who was born
a slave on the plantation in Prince Will
ham county, Va, on January go, 1917.
He was first attacked by the disease
which has rendered him utterly helpless
when he was eight years old, and his
right knee became gradually stiffened
He suffered an intermittent stinging pain
in the part affected, which decreased as
the disease extended. All his extremi-
tics were gradually attacked until, in
Is o. only his head was unaffected Since
that time no alteration has taken place in
his condition and he has suffered no
pain.
Monroe has an intelligent looking face,
with rather scanty hair and beard. He
appears to have been fairly well educated
and of good mental capacity. His limbs
are greatly shrunken. His body is per-
fectly rigid, however, aud without SEN
sation.
