RAILROAD TROUBLES

Seriously Threatened.
BOlLURNAKERS and NlCHIBlS1Som
Freight Handlers Postpone Strike -
Endsavor Further to Obtain . sstele-
ment-Thsir Demands Plaosd In the
Hands Of Chicago Federation.

Chicago, July 0.-Transportsusa
in the middle west may DO ssricusiy
affected as result Of series ~
strikes threatened by maohinists and
boilermakers employed by svssa
railroad entering Chicago from the
west. The first Of this series -
strikes was called yesterday, when
the 14o boilermakers employed b
the Chicago & Northwestern railro@d
were called out. Before tho week b
over the machinists employed BY ~
road may follow them. A strike d
the 100 machinists employed by the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Gar
rett, Ind, Is in progress, as well -
the strike of the boilermakers and
machinists of the Union Pacific.
| The walkouts are the result OF re-
fusals on the part Of the general
managers Of the various railroads to
comply with demands Of the machtn-
lists and boilermakers. These same
demands have been presented to
every western railroad entering Chi
cago and to several Of the eastern
roads. In case the railroads follow
the example set by those already ap-
proached the strike of the two trades
will apparently assume national pro-
portions.
The demands of the boilermakers
relate principally to increases in
wages. The men are now receiving
81 cents an hour. They ask IS cents
an hour. The machinists have pre-
sented q demand for an increase OF
ten per cent. in wages and the re-
duction Of the working day from ten
to nine hours. There are 600 ma
chinists employed by the Chicago &
Northwestern. The Baltimore i
Ohio machinists are striking to pre-
vent the adoption of the piece work
system in departments where 1t u

vance in wages from $27S TO $3 .

Embarrassed as they are by the de-
/, mands of the machinists and tho

D given q breathing spell by the fall
J, ure Of the freight handlers to strike.
. President |. j. Curran, OF the freight
handlers union, had announced Q
Q strike for yesterday, but at the last
l. moment changed his mind and dscid-
Q ed to endcavor further to obtain q
. settlement. The demands OF tho
l. freight handlers were placed in the
hands Of the Chicago Federation Of
Labor. Tho executive board OF the
federation will meet to-day and pro-
pare an agreement which will be pre-
70 scnted to the general managers.

Rural Route Mail Carriers Arc
Granted q Holiday.

For the first time since the delivery
OF mail in the rural districts was in
augurated in the United States the
carriers are to have holiday other
than Sunday. They will not make
their trip on July 4. Heretofore they
have been compelled to do their work
every day in the year with the e1cep-
ton Of Sundays. 1t is said that the
concession was secured from the post
Office department by a mail carrier in
Missouri. He went TO each OF the
people living on his route and Sc
cured the signatures Of each one to a
paper stating that they would be glad
to do without their mail Oh that day.
This was sent to Washington and it
had salutary effect upon the powers
that rule the destiny Of the rural mail
carriers.

Some Sent to Paris Are Fed m Arm
matte Herbs to Improve
Their Flavor.

The popularity of the snail as an ar
tlcle OF food is not confined to Paris
but extends throughout southern En-.
rope and some parts of Africa. DR.. Ed.
ward, French writer, in pamphlet
says that 10000 pounds of snails arc
sent daily to Paris from the gardens at
Poitou, Burgundy, Champagne. an6
Provence. Those reared in garden,
are fed on aromatic herbs to improve
their flavor. Their market price il
from 2 francs so confines to francs
so centimes a hundred, while those
from the hedges, woods and forests
bring only francs to francs sc
confines. The proprietor of one snail:
cry in the vicinity of Dijou nets over
1000 francs annually. The snail is
reared and fattened with great care
IN some cantons of Switzerland as an
article OF luxury, and is exported in
picked state. It is also eaten as a
relish and nutritious article of food
in Austria, Spain, Italy and in some
sections of the United States. The
Ashantees and other African tribes
smoke them and eat them as daily food
all the year around. In Algeria, in the
markets, large heaps of snails are sold
by the bushel and the hundred as an
article of food. Vendors hawk them in
the streets of Cairo. In modern Rome
'fresh-gathered snails are hawked BY
women from door to door. -,

The government of Egypt is under
the direction of khedive, the seventh
ruler of the dynasty of Mahomet Ali,
who was appointed governor of Egypt
in 1906 and made himself, in 1911, alb
solute master of the country by force
OF arms. The control of the khedive
was gradually increased, and in 1873
he was given the privilege of conclud-
ing commercial treat ties with foreign
powers and maintaining armies
From 1879 to 1853 two comptrollers
general-appointed by France and
England-had considerable power in
directing the affairs of the country
but in 1882, in consequence of a mill.
tary rebellion, England interviewed ir
behalf of the khedive, and, as this in.
tervention was not joined by France
the joint control was abolished anc
decree signed by the khedive giving
to England the right to appoint ar
English financial adviser, without
whose concurrence no financial deci.
sion can be taken, and since that time
an English officer has cooperated il
the direction of financial affairs il
Egypt. A number of representative
institutions, including a Legislative
council and general assembly, were
created by the khedive in 1883, and the
Legislative council, which is consulta.
tive body of 80 members, II of whom
are nominated by the. government

budget, and may propose laws, but
cannot initiate legislation.
