Disguised with the treatment there
left the wild carnival of nations and
strayed westward to Savanna. where
he purchased his frail looking craft
and floated down past the lands and

cheek bones, would have passed for

Switchmen Excited

From st. Joseph comes the news
that the c., II. |. & p. switchmen are
greatly excited over the rumor that
their wages are to be cut 10 per cent
for 90 days. The proposition has
not yet been made officially, bus it is
expected each day. and when it does
come it is probably a racket will be
heard.
The st. Joseph Gazette says it is
stated that the chairman of the griev-
ance committee of the switchmen has
been in the city a couple of times
during the last week and met the
men at 4 secret meeting. 1t is
| Clair ed that he made a proposition
to the men and attempted to get
them to sign contract providing for
a 10 per cent cut on their salaries to
| last for 90 days, at the end of which
| time there was to be a restoration of
! the old schedule. This the men re-
fused to sign, and it is stated that
some of the men talked strike before
| they would accept such PROPOSE
| ton. 1t is understood that the
| chairman assured them that at sew
eral points along the system that the
men had accepted the proposition
and signed a contract. The major
ity, however. refused to sign the
schedule.
1t is claimed that the proposed cut
