WALKOUr THREATENED.

rhe santa Fo Company May Have

KANSAS CRY. Mo-, July 20. - A
rumor has gained currency that an
other strike is brewing on the Santa
Fe in which the engineers, fremen
and conductors will be involved and
that q walkout is likely to occur
within the. next forty eight hours.
The cause of the alleged discomfort
and trouble is the coming cancella-
ton Of the existing labor contracts
with these organizations and the
threatened cut in wages
IL was claimed that the mem bers of
the "A. R. U. had known of the trouble
and were at work using it to their ad-
vantage, and were in high glee over
the prospects of success in their fight.
they could get the engineers out they
would at last succeed It is known
now that their strike on the road
would be called off if the old men
were all reinstated and that the fight
over the Pullman trouble would be
dropped for the time.
Ten days since there were state
ments made by the leaders of the A.
R. u. to the effect that another strike
was liable to take place on the road,
and for the last week there have been
trusted emissaries of President Debs
ing men for some purpose not yet
made public 1t was stated last eve
ming that at many points the company
had hired A. R. y. men without know
ing it and that the latter had done
much effective work among the en-
ploves. Whether or not the report is
correct, it is known that the mem bers
of the A, R. o. have been at work on
some new line of policy for the past
fortnight and that they have refused
to answer any inquiries as to the ma
ture of their work.
While the claims of the A. R. q.
may not all be based on good grounds,
there are many among the railroad
men who believe that any effort on
the part of the Santa Fe to cut wages
or abrogate existing contracts that
are being honestly observed can only
be productive of trouble.
The rumor Of the threatened strike
is generally believed in Argentine and
the people expect to see the road tied
up again soon.

cal success.

strike outside of Pullman had it not

The managers declared a war of ex-

resort to the strike"

FIRST AND SECOND READERS.

They VIII Compare Favorably With
Anything Heretofore Published.
The State Board of Education has fixed
price on the Revised First and Second
Readers, which will be ready for supply
to the schools about the 10Th inst.
The books are fully equal to those pub
lished by any private firm in style and
matter. The illustrations, paper, print
ing and binding are of the first quality,
and the care that had been displayed in
the language and arrangement of the les
sons is evident in every line. The black
board lessons at the beginning of the
First Reader are an excellent scheme,
which is carried out throughout the book.
The information matter is arranged in a
most interesting form, stimulating habit
of observation, and the legends are well
adapted to enchain the attention of the
little readers and awaken literary taste.
The division of the Readers into four
books is great improvement over the
first series, in which there were only
three, as prescribed by law.
The books themselves are the best evil
dence that the State has done we'll in
printing its own textbooks.
