RAILWAY STRIKE FAILS.
Workmen Who Went Out Were
Ordered Back to Work.

New York. Specialize most in
teresting development in the subway
and elevated railway strike situation
iE New York was the stand taken by
some OF the national labor leaders in
repudiating the action of the local
leaders who ordered and are conduct
ing the strike. The first intimation
the public had that the strike was not
endorsed by the national unions, came
il. a statement from Grand Chief War
rem S. Stone. Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, to which the
motormen belong. Mr.. Stone insisted
that the strike was a violation Of the
laws Of the national union, the men
having broken their contract with the
inter-borough Company. He ordered
the men to report for duty, failing
which, expulsion from the organiza-
ton is threatened.
Although the local leaders are con-
tinuing the fight, despite the fact that
the national leaders have repudiated
their action in calling the men out,
the strike on the subway and elevated
railway systems has passed the acute
stage, and trains are run with little
delay, the strike-breakers quickly
learning their new duties. while many
of the old men were back in the posi-
fionc which fhov laft On Tuesday
morning. There was no general rush
back of the old employees, but the men
slowly weakened, and there was a
steady stream passing into the COM
pany's offices all day.

His body was strong, maSn,ficently
built; the movement Of his hands. rs
he talked, illustrating his words with
gestures, was vigorus and full Of mean
ing; his voice was deep and rich; his
infections We're full of yivacity and
enthusiasm; but the man himself was
disabled by the absolute loss Of his
sight.
AS Caldwell, watching him, thought
back for an instant to all the blind
people he had ever known, it occurred
to him that although they had almost
invariably been of kindly disposition,
bearing their hard lot with patience
and resignation, never once had he
seen among them any one like this.
And presently. as in the interest Of the
lecture itself he forgot to speculate or
to compare. he became conscious that
something he thought he had lost for
ever was returning to him-for the mo-
ment, at least-the old, keen joy in a
scientific argument and demonstration,
presented by a master Of his subject.
The lecture concluded amidst an out
burst Of enthusiastic applause, Of the
sort which means not only honest ap-
probation Of the thing that has been
done, but hearty love and admiration
for the doer. The class poured hurried
ly into the laboratory, where certain
important tests were now to be made,
supporting a new and singular theory
which the lecturer had propounded.
"Come down and see 1t, won't you?"
a student urged Thorpe and Caldwell.
