Denville, ILL.,, March 2S.-About 500 shop
hands Of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
Railroad walked out this morning. The
striking employees include the car repairers,
laborers. tank oilers, car inspectors. plan
ing MILL belt wheelroom and cab depart
ment men.
Tho trouble resulted from the fact that
eighty-fvs men were laid OF about three
weeks ago. This has been the annual Gus
tom of the Eastern Illinois when work was
slack. The laid-off men were kept out of
employment a few weeks, until work picked
Up, and were then taken back.
4. The labor unions this year brought the
matter up in their meetings and 1t was de-
.-cided to ask the officials in slack times to
work all the men fewer hours. When the
eighty-tive men were. laid off, the Interna-
ica took the matter up and asked that the
men be reinstated.
A committee first called on General Car
Foreman C. 8. Roof, and receiving no sat
isfaetion from him, called on D. g. Ham
mond. general manager of the road. This
morning, when the men reported for work
they went to Car Foreman H. O. Lapp, and
asked for a conference with General Fore
man Roof.
The conference was asked by C. c. Bak-
er, who had been appointed by the ma
tional. president Of the union; to speak in
behalf of the men. He was told that the
conference could not be granted. as Mr..
Roof was out of the city.
They left two car inspectors to look after
mail trains. SO there would be no delay in
running them.

ings Of her local however. She leaves the
transaction of all union business to the men
and atides by their decisions. She does not
attend the meetings because she is the only
woman member and her presence there
alone, she thinks. would appear too bold.
Every morning at O'Clock she appears
before her machines, dons her blue calico
dress. which is made of cloth similar to
the goods used in jumpers and overalls and
superintends the turning out of the large
printed sheets.
She excels in color work which embraces
two. three or more colors. and is considered
especially good in dainty work which she
is always consulted about by the heads of
her firm.
Although elbowing men all day long in
pursuit OF her duties, Miss Pegiow says she
cannot agree with Mrs. Claxon and her
ideas on the Ideal Wife" or the deteriora-
