BRITISH RAILWAY MEN
MAY CALL BIG STRIKE

LONDON, Sept. 25.-Great Britain
is on the eve of a vast railway strike,
possibly the greatest the world has
ever known. This sounds as if there
was a great exaggeration and it is
difficult to realize, but everything
looks decidedly like it, No strike
ever has taken SO long to develop,
but unless the directors of the vari-
Gus great lines do remarkable climb
ing down in regard to unionism, the
whole country may be paralyzed ere
long by the sudden stoppage of rail-
way traffic.
The directors say that there is no
danger of such thing because they
could easily fill the place of the union
men by others not belonging to the
union, but the people generally are
asking where are they to be had. Few
persons place any faith in such state
ments and fewer would risk Journey
ing on the limited service of trains
run by unskilled drivers and guards.
The men are not demanding in
creased wages and shorter hours. The
crux of the whole trouble is summed
up in one word, recognition" The
employees merely want the committee
of directors officially to meet a COM
mittee belonging to their trades un-
ion to discuss their alleged griev-
ances, with a view to amicable set
tlement. This the directors decline
to do. They say they will not rec
ognize any trades union This the
union is determined to have

HAD SLIPPED HER MEMORY.
Trivial Circumstance Forgotten by
Sweet Summer Girl.

The man was taking an early morn

met a charming young girl, also en-

Il was just wishing | might meet

with the air of one having at least
claim of friendship on her.
The girl lifted her eyebrows and re-
garded him with a surprised look in
which there was not the slightest hint
of recognition.
The man looked little more than
surprised In fact he looked and was
shocked
"Of course you haven't forgotten,

MILK REACHES RECORD
PRICE IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Sept. 25-MIlk will
sell in this city at higher price this
winter than it has commanded in a
generation, and probably say the
dealers, at the highest price it has
ever brought here. Two of the big
milk concerns already have announc-
ed an increase in prices, one apply
ing to the retail trade in bottled milk
and the other to the Wholesale or
can delivery.
The changes will go into effect on
October /. Nine cents quart will
be charged for bottled milk, instead
of s cents.
This unprecedented price for milk
is explained as being due in part to
an actual shortage in the supply.
which has existed for a year The
principal causes, however, are the
increased demands of the dairy farm
ers and the increased cost of bottling
and delivering.

ANOTHER NEWSPAPER VICTORY

That the press of the country is
one of the country's greatest bull
warks of safety, and that without the
fear of the press many abuses might
continue forever unreformed and I'M
punished, is again demonstrated by
the exposures that have been made
of shocking conditions in the Asylum
for the Insane at Highlands. Cali
fornia, which were exposed by an en-
terprising newspaper and a fearless
correspondent.
Rumors of an awful condition of
anairs reached the paper, and a
trained newspaper man was delegated
to make an investigation. After con
siderable difficulty this man was able
to secure a position within the hosp-
tai as an attendant. For weeks he
worked with fidelity, making cal eful
note of all that he saw and heard.
With painstaking care he recorded
infinitely the terrible abuses that
were practiced under his eyes. All
of his work was carried on with the
greatest secrecy, as he fully realized
that If he were discovered in his true
role, he might pay for his temerity
with his life.
This newspaper man was A. w. l..
Dunn, and the paper he represented
was the Los Angeles Record. When
Dunn had seen enough to sicken
with horror the average man, he left
his position and his paper began the
publication of as shocking a series |
OF articles as has ever appeared in
the western press.
Dunn told of the manner in which
patients were abused. He told of

TACTICS OF THE OCTOPUS.

1t has been suggested by sober
minded and conservative business
men of the town that the prevailing
shortage of gasoline is without ex-
cuse and is unnecessary. II is es-
timated that the Standard Oil COM
pany is playing the part Of the Of
feuded worm. whoch has finally
turned. and that by refusing to sell
gasoline, II will use club to compel
desistence from the attacks that are
being made on its stronghold, by the
federal government.

threatens serious consequences TO the

ducing material is general among
the Industrial enterprises of tie dis
trict for mechanical purposes 1t is
at this time, and under existing con-
ditions, necessary commodity.
The experts and engineers of the
STANDARD Oil company have been
able, by reason of their close touch
with industrial development through
out the entire country; by reason of
their knowledge of the average de-
mand for the products of the COM
pany which they represent, and by
reason of their knowledge of gen.
eral conditions. to estimate within
"a few thousand gallons, the quantity
of oils and other products that will
be demanded at any date on the cal
endar where their chiefs may place
the point of their pencils.
There has been no remarkable in
crease, no unprecedented or uneX-
pected Increase in the volume con-
sumed None of the plants or re-
fineries of the corporation have been
destroyed or closed. None of the oil
fields controlled by them have been
pumped dry.
The fact that with all the mate
mand; the fact that they know what
the demands of each community will
be months in advance of that de-
these demands cannot be met prompt
ly.
These conditions have suggested
that the Octopus has issued orders
to all of it's branch and tributary
companies, to retard the sale of the
fluid, until the present agitation has
been in measure modified.
In this event, it would be within
the province of the inquisitors who
are probing into all of the rotten
ness of the system practiced by the
gigantic trust, to take up this line
of inquiry, and if the company is at
tempting to coerce the consuming
public in it's brutal fashion, another
fine of twenty or thirty millions of
dollars might be in order

THE CONSPIRACY"

A remarkable story Was told in Wash

ton from the White House as to how
President Roosevelt was first Informed Of

Late last night. after the story as II
came from the White Honfe got 70 The
ears of the politicians around the hotels,
il was openly stated that Senator boie'
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, was the man
who had given the combine snap away.
