There is at present great dcul of
talk about the probabilities of big
strike ON the Chicago roads, but the fact
of the matter Is that it will be found to
be very largely the yupouuEs OF a space
paid reporter. None of the railway Of
iicials place any credeuce in the story
and none of the officers of the railway
employees organizations seem to regard
the matter az worthy of second thought
The fact of the matter is there is no
class OF wage workers on earth more con-
scryNtiye thuu the American railway em-
ployc The question of dealing with
from 500 to 1000 men on system, scat
tered throughout the different branches
of the service and the conditions under
which each is working being so radically
different, that they strike only when all
efforts at an umicabe adjustment have
fuiledi That the railway employees Of the
country would take the advantage of the
Worlds fair TO compel an advance of
the scale under which they have been
working TOR the past ten years, and with
which there has been no complaint. Is too
absurd for even the momeutary contem-
plutiou of u sensible man. Railway em-
ployes are not bull-dozers aud they rec
oguizc the right of the company TO rcgu-
late It's employment of men according to
the conditions governing the traffic aud
the earnings OF the road. 1t is true fed
Grafton has bccu formed, embracing all
classes OF men in the railway service,
but the fact of the organization of this
federation. which its organizers have
been striving To accomplish for the past
ten years does not necessarily imply any
strike is ON or contemplated 1t is sim
ply binding together in u common inter
est all clnsses of railway employees for
mutual benefit and protection. Corpora
tious are far too prone TO force wages
down instead of making the proper re-
trenchment in other branches.

Professor Alex Hogg Of this city has
just issued a revised edition of his work.
The Railroad in Education" In this
edition he las brought it up to the close
of The year 1892, aud has especially
brought out the recent progress made in
the running OF fast trains and the his.
tory of these record breakers is admi.
rubly condensed aud devoid of the tech
meal terms which nuke It the more
easily understood by the lay reader.
Professor Hogg takes a view of the rail
road question and the evolution Of rail
way knowledge entirely different from
that usuully accorded lie brings ont the
fact, so often overlooked. that the rail
road is one OF the most potent fuctors in
the education of the world that has ever
been known. The work is nm interesting
one aud well worthy of u place in the
library Of every thoughtful student Of
the day aud age.
