labor for handling its immense
fruit crop. A few days since a
number of foreigners who had
been working upon the railroad
quit their jobs and landed in Pa
onia with the avowed intention
OF working in the fruit orchards.
Prompt action was taken by the
newspapers of the town and
backed up by the business men. a
committee waited upon the
foreigners and tcld them to
"skidoo," which they did. White
labor will be used in the fruit
business of the upper county,
Delta Laborer.
Paonia citizens were somewhat
incensed last week over the ar
rival in that community of several
Japanese laborers who had come
into that valley to help gather
their big fruit crop. The people
there took the very sensible stand
that by the proper kind OF effor,
they could secure enough white
laborcrs from the surrounding
towns and mining camps to han
die the crops without the aid OF
the cheap labor which would be
introduced if the advent OF the
Jap became permanent. The en-
tire bunch of invaders were per-
suaded to leave after only short
time in that place. The action
taken by the Paonia people will
be good one for the entire
county and in fact the western
slope to follow. as they are very
ruinous element to the business
interests of a community. ltthey

Paonia has recently had little

ures Rock Island dropped the second
of the series to the Rabbits yesterday.
Scott was raped safely Is times and
his team mates made four errors, yet
the net result was but six scores,
while the Islanders with nine hits and
opposed by good fielding ran in four
tallies
II took an unusual number of swats
TO bring the Cedar Rapids players
around, for when there were men on
base the visiting players did their best
work. However. the errors were cost
ly. Had the visitors fielded cleanly
they would have had the better of the
argument.
Carlisle opened the game with a
two Dagger, but the next three were
out. Neal Ball got around for the
Rabbits after two Dagger in the first
inning, but did so in a muff by Carlisle.
Cakes singled and stole in the third
and Shaw brought him in with a hit
In the fourth a peculiar play was
made. Roman opened with a hit and
Berry's grounder an attempt was made
to run Roman down between bases
Meantime Berry kept on coming till he
passed Roman between second and
third Roman got back to second and
was called safe by Umpire O'COnnell,
Notwithstanding he had been forced
when Berry touched second. Berry
was called out. Roman later scored on
two hits. Roman also scored in the
fifth in which session the Rabbits
made four hits. Shaw and Ball were
nipped on base.

MAY STRIKE ON Q
Engineers Have Taken Vote and
it is Now Up to Warren
s. Stone.
CHIEF WOULD MAKE TERMS
Rule Reducing Those Who Are Forced
to Wear Glasses is Cause of
Trouble.

A strike of locomotive engineers
that will affect the entire Chicago,
Burlington x Quincy Railway system
is threatened. The men have taken
strike vote, and Warren S. Stone.
grand chief of the Brotherhood of LO-
connective Engineers, has telegrapEed
James }. Hill of the gravity of the sit
uatiOn.
An order recently issued by the
management reducing engineers who
are forced to wear spectacles is the
cause for the strained relations. The
order provides that any engineer who
wears glasses cannot run a passenger
train, or a freight train into a longest
ed terminal They are also barred
from running trains in the suburban
service.
Negotiations between the manage
ment and committee of the engin-
GERS have been under way for some
time and the officials of the road have
refused to alter their position. When
all efforts to have the rule withdrawn
failed. Grand Chief Stone authorized
the men TO take a strike vote. The
vote is said to have been overwhelm-
ingly in favor of going out if neces-
sary.
According TO the rules of the broth
erhood. after a vote has been taken
the question is put up TO the grand
chief and it rests with him to set the
date for walkOut if he cannot get a
satisfactory adjustment.
Other Roads Favor SpectacIes.
On the Northwestern system the en-
gineers are given instructions TO wear
spectacles as soon as they feel their
eyesight failing. If the use of glasses
brings their vision back to normal
they are not disturbed in their posi-
tons. The same rule applies on most
Of the railroad systems throughout the
country. The engineers declare that if
the rule of the Burlington is enforced
it will drive many of the older engin-
GERS out of the service. a few days
ago a practical test was made on the
Burlington and engineers say they
proved that a man who wears glasses
could distinguish signals equally as
well as one who did not.
