Ohio's Squirrel Hunters.
N the Cleeland Plain Dealer.

A curious organization has been effected
in Chicago. 1t Is called 1.-THE Sons and
Daughters of the Ohio Squirrel Hunters -
and Its intent Is to keep alive the memory
of those gallant Ohioans who hurried to
Cincinnati in 1862 to protect that city and
the Ohio border from a threatened invasion
of the Confederate forces In this motley
throng of home defenders were mere boys
and men long past the military age. And
their arms were quite as varied as their
personalities. They had no uniforms and
the weapons they carried were muskets
and rifles and shotguns and revolvers many
of the first named being venerable weapons
that had seen service as far back as 1872
AT the governors call for men this mass
of volunteers was hurried to Cincinnati,
where 1t remained on duty until the danger
had passed. A part of this army Of de-
Tense was recruited In Cleveland, and there
are veterans of the local force who still sur
viye.

Clothing in Winter.

1t is surprising, but it is nevertheless
fact. that the arms and legs in winter
need warmer clothing than the trunk Of
the body. Few people realize this, for it
is quite a common sight to see women in

cred by heavy furs. while their arms are
only scantily protected. says Home Notes.
This is a great mistake and is frequently
the cause Of unnecessary colds and chills.

ROAD REFUSED DEMANDS
Men Asked for an Increase Of Is Per
Cent In Wages and Ten Hours
Day, But Were Turned Down,
Consequently They Strike.

The refusal of the Southern rail.
way to further treat with it's ma
chinists" relative to wages has result
ed In a general strike throughout the
big system. One thousand machinists
in the employ Of the road walked out
Monday morning at IL o'clock.
Last August the mash:nists made
c demand for {. rs per cent increase
In wages and ten hours a day. The
matter was referred to committee
Of railroad officials composed Of Su'
perintendent of Motive Power Stew
art and General Manager Spencer,
the latter relative of President Spen-
Ger,
Frequent delays were asked for by
the officials, but finally an ultimatum
was issued, which stated in sub
stance that the Southern had decided
t. refuse the demands of the ma
chinists.
The busy hum of the machinery
in the various shops Of the company
was soon supplanted by death-like
stiffness, and if the big corporation
Is as stubborn and persistent in It's
refusal Of an increase in pay as the
machinists are determined the strike
will be of long duration.
James O'Connell Of Washington, D.
c., president of the international as
sociation, ordered the strike immedi-
ately after the first ultimatum of the
Southern railway was made known to
him.
The International Association OF
Machinists, which is one OF the
strongest unions in the country, de-
raanded a general increase throughout
the system of the Southern OF 2o
cents per day of ten hours. The de-
,nand was made last August, and
since that time officials of the COM
many have had the matter under
consideration.
Pending the decision Of the rail-
road, the machinists continued at
work
Finally, the railroad officials offer
ed an increase of Is cents per day
tc the machinists employed at the At
lanta shops and an increase OF i've
cents per day to the employees at the
Spencer, N. c., Charleston and Knox
Vile shops. This was declined, where
upon the road refused to consider
the question further. Hence the strike.
The following shops are affected
by the strike: Atlanta, Alexandria,
Va; Manchester, Va; Spencer, N.
c.: Asheville, N. c.; Columbia, S. c.;
Charleston, S. c.; Macon, Ga; Biz
mingham, Selma, Ala; Greenville,
Miss; Knoxville, Sheffield, Ala, and
GTeenville, S. c.
At present the machinists receive
s. per day for ten hours work, while
the apprentices scale of wages is
graduated from Is cents to S1.25 per
day of ten hours.
The strike is the first in which the
machinists have engaged since 1901,
when they demanded nine-hour day
and a general increase Of 25 cents
per day. The rs cents per day was
allowed and the nine hours refused.
