Snails have long been employed in
England for cleaning windows. The
creatures are dipped in cold water
and then placed upon the pane. They
crawl around slowly, devouring all
foreign matter and leaving the glass
quite bright and clear. They are, of
course, used only for upper windows,
that are not easily reached from the
outside. Water snails also command
a ready sale. Almost every aquarium
owner keeps a few water snails. They
are the best of scavengers, and keep
the place as tidy as a new housemaid.

can earn in his profession. In his
four years service at the head of the
post office department Mr.. Smith has
steadily grown poorer in money.
Though everyone admits he has made
the best postmaster general the coun-
try ever had, Uncle Sam is to lose his
services because the salary is too
small.
Many public men believe the time
has come to increase the salaries of
cabinet officers to a reasonable figure,
say $4,000 a year. 1t costs a man
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year to live
in Washington and keep up an es-
tablishment beftting the dignity OF
member of the cabinet, and many
cabinet officers have spent much
larger sums. If the government
wants tirst-class men it should pay
tirst-class salaries, as other employ
ers have to do.
As it is now, no man can afford to
accept cabinet place unless he has
a large Independent income. Attor-
ney General Griggs retired because
he could not afford to stay longer. 1t
has cost Secretary Gage $4,000 to
serve the government five years.
Secretary Root has sacrificed at the
rate of $4,000 a year to make the
best secretary of war She country has
seen in a good many years. 1t is time
to increase the salaries, which were

PRRIGHp HANDLERS
STRIKE IN CHICAGO
Twenty.IOur Railroads Enter
Ing That City Affected
All Freight Houses Practically Are
Tied Up and Business Men Fer
Serious Results

Chicago. July S.--A strike Of over
5000 freight handlers in Chicago was
called yesterday. and every freight
house of the "a railroads concerned is
all but tied up. Business men fear
that the strike will be the most serious
which has affected their interests in
years. The strike was called by COM
mittee appointed az meeting of 1000
freight handlers, held Sunday night
The committee was instructed to call
a strike within As hours unless the
railroads should meet the demands OF
the men at once for an increase in
wages, extra pay for over time and
holidays and recognition of the union.
Action on these instructions was
taken sooner than had been expected.
The committee went first to the men
in the Michigan Central, Illinois Cen
trail and Wisconsin Central houses on
the lake front. The men walked out
with cheers and marched across the
yiaduct on Randolph street, with their
union cards tucked In their hats. BY
'phoning to strike leaders all other
members of the interior freight hand
lers and warehousemen's union wero
called out. President Curran. of the
union, reported that his men We're all
out, and that it was all but impossible
for any freight to enter Chicago or to
leave it,
The "A railroads affected by the
strike control over 100 warehouses in
Chicago One Thousand men walked
out from these warehouses alone. they
congregated at the foot of the viaduct,
and calls for speeches were made ID.
+. Ryan, an Illinois Central man. who
had left his post as a delivery clerk,
mounted a wagon, and, waving his un-
ion card by way of gesture, said BE
sober, men, be law-abiding, be good
American citizens, and the battle is
ours" The crowd cheered him vigor-
ously, and he continued for some time
to talk in a similar strain. Other
speakers, all counseling peace, fol-
lowed
Hopes of a speedy settlement of the
strike of the freight handlers union
are entertained by officials of the un.
ion and members Of the state board OF
arbitration. The officials OF the union
last night told Chairman Job, Of the
board of arbitration. that they were
willing TO permit employees of the diff
ferent companies to meet officials of tho
same to discuss the wage scale, pro.
Wiling a joint conference should be-
held. at which officials of the union
would be permitted to act as advisers
to the men. AS the railway officials
have favored this step from the be-
ginning of the controversy. there is
little doubt that the strike can be set
tied satisfactorily to both sides il the
conference shall be arranged.
