WHAT EDITORS SAY.
Wichita Eagle and Lawrence journal
Condemn Machinists' Strike.

The Wichita Eagle says editorialIy:
THE striking machinists, etc, of
the Santa Fe were notified to call for
their pay checks after being given
several days within which to return
to work SiXty-Odd men who had no
grievance, nor any incentive to strike
save from walking boss pressure,
walked up to the office at Topeka and
received the wages due them, their
places having been taken by men who
wanted to do the work. Many of these
strikers are men of families, quite a
per cent of whom own their own
homes in Topeka. The railway cor
poration nor its management will be
Inconvenience. But how about the
wives and children of these husbands
and fathers, who threw up good posi-
lions only because the railway man
agement would not consent to adopt
rules formulated by a syndicate of
walking bosses convened in Washing
ton city? They are promised support
in their chosen idleness. But sooner
or later that support must fail, in
evitably. A local labor union having
no grievance great enough for strike
on its own account and in it's own
judgment, should take every walking
delegate by the neck and neither gar
ment and pitch him into the street"
The result of the strike on the
Santa Fe is thus summed up by the
editor of the Lawrence Journal: THE
president of the Santa Fe railroad
says that whatever concessions have
been made to any of the organizations
of men employed on his road in the
past because they were members of
such organizations, will not be con-
tinued that hereafter the road will
employ whatever competent men it
needs without regard to their affilia-
ton with any order. lodge or organi-
zation. This decision has been brought
about by the present strike of the ma
chinists, which has no foundation
whatever, except a desire on the part
of some of the officers of an organi-
zatiOn. living apart from the Santa Fe
territory, to dictate to the company
what men should be hired, and upon
what terms employment should be
given. What the president of the
Santa Fe says usually goes, and the
road is powerful enough to carry out
any measure of the sort it under
takeS.''

Santa Rosa Electrician Has a New
Sure Cure.


Sure Cure.
A Santa Rosa electrician has in
vented a system to prevent collisions
on single track railroads. His plan
involves the laying of a slender third
rail in the center of the track to carry
an electric current generated by a
one-eighth horsepower dynamo To-
Gated in the cab of the locomotive and
operated by the steam generated in
its boiler. Contact is maintained by
wire brushes underneath the engine
trailing along the surface of this cen
ter rail. Two locomotives occupying
the same track will create an alter
mating current transmissible along
the rail for a distance of two miles
and strong enough to light a small in
candescent lamp in front of each en-
gineer as soon as their respective en-
gines enter the zone of the currents
efficiency. The nearer the engines ap-
proach one another the stronger is
the current and the intenser the light
of the lamp This result is obtained
whether the locomotives are running
in the same direction or moving head
