GREEKs on a sTRIKE.
Union Pacific Section Hands May Go
Into Harvest Fields.

The farmer is not the only one who
is up against it on the labor question
on account of the wheat harvest.
Trouble commences on the railroads
as soon as harvest. and a dollar and
two bits looks mighty small to the
section hand when he can make two
dollars and his board in the harvest
field.
This is the proposition the Union
Pacific railroad is Up against with its
Greek laborers working on the Lin
coin branch of the Union Pacific at
Black Wolf and Luray. They have
been content with their S1.25 a day,
but now that the wheat harvest opens
up another avenue for the employ
ment of labor they are striking for a
raise of two bits a day. There is prob
ably not one of them who would be
worth that much in the harvest field,
but since one of his ancestors de-
clared his intention to strike until the
last armed foe expires the Greek has
been great on strikes
Then there is a financial agent, a
sort of walking delegate, who came
out from Kansas City Thursday and
stirred up more trouble and put the
Greeks onto the best way to enforce
their demands for more pay, but what
the outcome will be is in oblivion and
the future.

GOULD's BIG BICEPs.
Passes Physical Examination and Is
Recommended as a Brakeman.

New York. June 23.-George J. Gould
has successfully passed a physical ex-
animation by a surgeon of the Wabash
railroad who recommends him for the
position of brakeman, and says he may,
with training, even make a good engi-
neer- Gould and President Ramsey of
the Wabash railroad had been inspect
ing that system Mr.. Gould was great
~ interested in the system of physical
examination established by President
Ramsey some time ago for all appli-
cants for places and all train employees.
Say, I would like to try it, said Mr..
Gould impulsively. Have you an ex-
aminer that does not know me2"
President Ramsey said he had. Mr..
Gould donned a cardigan jacket over
an outing shirt, and with an old cap on
his head, sought the examiner with a
card such as are given applicants. The
result Of the examination as subse-
quently reported by the examiner ran
something as follows:
This applicant is almost in physical
condition as indicated on the accom-
panying chart. His biceps and chest
measurements are above the average.
I have marked eyesight and hearing
each at 100. Recommend that applicant
be passed. He would make a good
brakeman, and after a while might be
trained for the post of locomotive en-
gineer. Appears to have nerve as
well as good eyesigh

TOpeka's characteristics.

The fact that baseball in Topeka
was not assassinated on Washburn
field Wednesday afternoon, is the
eighth wonder of the world. Helpless
to a degree that was pitiable-unsteady
as a sick elephant-dead as doormats
were those Saints. Yet almost 400 peo-
pie sat patiently through the awful cat
astrophe and watched lola take two
games. the first by score Of 10 to 3
and the last by a score of to 0. To-
peka was not within tagging distance
of the money single time-never near
enough to even start a bet of lemon
AIDES or peanuts on the result in the
grandstand or bleachers. It is useless
for the Topeka management to contin-
ue trying to do business with the bunch
which it now has. It is an insult to
the crowd to ask it to come to such ex-
hibitions of baseball.

CUTS DOWN REVENUE.
Texas Has a New Rule Which VIII
Cost Railroads $1,000, 900.

Cost Railroads 81 ,OOO, OOO-
After remaining quiescent for some
time the Texas commission has pro-
mulgated an order which, it is stated.
viii reduce the earnings of the Texas
roads at least one million dollars an
nually. All lumber in that state has
heretofore been handled on a COM
modify rate. but the commission made
the discovery than in many instances
class E rates were lower. and they
have put lumber into that class It
is quite likely that the commission
will find that it has stirred I'D some
thing of a hornets nest in this con-
necUon. The lumber rates as they
exist at present are the result of con-
ferences and adjustments not only as
between the railroads themselves, but
as between the manufacturers and the
markets, and to disturb the adjust
ment will be to throw manufa cturers
out of trade which they have hereto
fore had 1t appears to be impossible
for the Texas commission to under
stand that in most cases the railroads
and the shippers can be relied upon
to reach a basis of rates which are
most advantageous to all concerned,
and that any outside interference is
likely to create disturbances which as
coming from persons not in touch
with the situation is likely to work an
injustice. The trouble with the Texas
commission appears to be. to use a
phrase of President Roosevelt's, that
it IS "perniciously active" and there
seems to be no doubt but that all par
ties would be better off if it go into
retirement for awhile.-RailWay Age.

There is little to say about the two
games themselves-they were all Iola's
way. HOWE went on the slab for To-
peka. The Gaslighters got but nine
hits off his delivery, but these punched

runs. OF this bunch six were earned.

generally got it. They hit HOWE far

players in the business. Milsap got to

picked out a nice slant of Howie's and
whaled it clear to the right field fence.
Lining went after it with his usual
Vigor and vim. Just by the fence is a

demand was not granted and it is said
that the officials have been vested with
the power to order a strike when all
measures looking toward a settlement
