Stick to what Mr.. c. P. Goodrich
says: BY starting with a few good cows
a dairyman is able by selection and
building to have a herd OF select COWS
In four or five years. Then just keep
in mind that the bull constitutes more
than half the herd.

The cows will appreciate II IL you
will cut your clover when the heads are

Many a woman mas asked, What
makes my milk sour so quickly?"
Dirty pals and cans or crooks, and not
keeping the milk cool enough. does the
mischief. If milk is kept twenty-four
hours or longer, 1t should be cooled to
sixty or sixty-two degrees.

Union Trainm rs Demands
Are Refused and s..ke
MeL-. 5 Forty-Nine Lines
HALF MILLION
EMPLOYEES INVOLVED
Brotherhood Officials and
Managers of Systems Take
Part in Secret Conferences

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-TwO of the great
est strikes In the history of the nation
strikes that imply the eventual STALL
ing on the tracks of every locomotive
on each of the big forty-nine railway
systems II the country-are being con-
sidered In Chicago.
From 100000 to 1000, 900 men are In
volved. They are members of two
great railway orders that are engaged
In a three-cornered fight between them
selves on the one hand and the rail-
road managers on the other. These
organizations are the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers and the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
Ginemen.
The fremen already have struck on
the Union Pacific. 1t Is feared that
general strike OF engineers may be
called within twenty-four hours.
The chiefs of the four great railroad
union bodies held secret conference
tonight that lasted until after mid
night in an effort to bring about arbi-
tration and settle their difficulties
They are said to have failed. W. 5.
Stone, grand master of the locomotive
engineers, is declared to have come out
with the assertion that a general strike
order would be issued unless his terms
which the railroad managers have al
ready refused. be agreed to.
At the conference tonight were the
following leaders OF railroad orders
who hurried into Chicago to seek set
tlement and avoid disaster: Chief Nor
rissey of the Railway Trainmen: Chief
Garretson of the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Conductors; John J. Hannahan,
grand master of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive F'iremen and Enginemen, and
w. S. Stone, Grand Master of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers
At other conferences held in different
parts OF the city were the managers
of the forty-nine railways. who came to
Chicago to either grant or refuse the
demands of their employees The man
ayers had just been treating with
Stone. who demanded a wage increase
and an eight-hour day for the members
of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-
gineers. They had practically told him
that they could not grant the eight
hour day demand. They were willing
to discuss the subject further. but they
held out no hope of settlement.

TOWN BOARD STIRS
IRE Of CLUB

was precipitated at the meeting OF the
North Berkeley Improvement Club last
night when the secretary read Town
Clerk Mendenhalrs notification that
the Town Trustees would require that

tions as 10 the work Of the board
show the number OF members present
when the clubs action was taken
Tbs Town Trustees had been told
that sometimes only three or four
members OF an improvement club at
tended the meetings where important
recommendations were made. Fearing
that the section that the club purports
TO represent may thus be misrepre-
sented. the -stees have decided that
hereafter they shall be apprised Of the
attendance al the meetings.
Victor Robertson. president OF the
North Berkeley Club. declared with
some heat at the meeting last night
that the Trustees must have intended
their request as a joke. He insisted
that IL could not be taken seriously.
Other members spoke in a similar vein.
and considerable feeling was exhibited.
II was suggested that the clubs criti-
cism OF the Trustees action in the
telephone franchise matter might have
provoked the alleged slur upon the i'm
provement organizations. 1t was finally
decided 10 lay the communication on
the table and ignore it
The Chamber Of Commerce received
the same communication from the
Town Trustees last night and nled II
without discussion. No objection was
made TO the propriety OF the request
for data about the attendance of the

SOUTHERN PACIFIC GETS MEN
Chiefs Prepare to Fight the Firemen &
Finish
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 4-Although
Southern Pacific officials deny that
there is any likelihood for the firemen's s
strike affecting the coast lines. the fire.
men and engineers running out OF Los
Angeles declare that unless the differ
ences Of the warning factions on the
eastern divisions are settled the trouble
must inevitably extend to this terri
tory within week or ten days
1t is significant that Southern Pacific
heads of operating departments here
are taking active steps to secure men
to take the places of f1remen. should
they go out. Every preparation is be-
ing made to fight the discontented fire.
men to a finish should they persist in
their demands
peculiar feature of the situation IS
that If the iremen should go out the
engineers would stand by the company
in the contention and would take out
engines attended by non-union fremen.
1t is not generally understood that
the firemen are not striking really
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
of Locomotive Engineers, with which
organization the railway has sided in
the bitter feud which is now wagine
between that order and the brotherhood
Of Locomotive Firemen. IT is a matter
of no moment in dollars and cents or
in prestige to either party But It Is
a point of gine-driving etiquet. and
the f1remen are super-sensitive on the
point of the rights and privileges which
they believe ought TO be accorded them.
