ter Tenders and Deck Hands
Strike at Chicago.

rine engineers, firemen, oilers, water
tenders and deck hands went on
strike by a vote taken last night. As

strike was called after contracts had
been sent to 400 of the engineers
as individuals. All but 30 of these
contracts were returned unsigned and
the union voted general strike.

begun here last night which may
result in partial settlement of the

tion that all the union engineers take

tracts insisted upon by the Lake Car
riers' association, or any other con
tracts. Four large package freight

Mr.. Roosevelt says that his friends
will make a hit with him by just call
ing him mister" There is nothing
quite so clumsy as the way we speak
of those who were chief executives of
the nation. "EX-president" or former
president is about the extent of the
titles that may be applied to these
eminent persons, and both of them
suggest state of has-been rather than
condition of honored retirement
Even the grand mogul who goes
through the chairs in a common lodge
has more exalted title and usually is
known as the grand and worshipful
past high kicker or something else that
savors of honor. We do not know eX-
actly what the title of an eX-president
should be, says the Chicago Daily
News, but if some one will donate a
toothpick we will offer it as a reward
for the best suggestion as to how to
designate a once-upon-a -a-time president.

One by One Disturbing Elements Are

Although confidence in the future is
more noticeable than satisfaction with
present conditions, yet one by one dis
turbing elements are gradually dis
appearing. While the tariff is still
under discussion and is checking full
activity in industries most concerned
yet the reports from most of the cities
show their trade to be in fairly sat
isfactory state, the centres farthest
removed from the industrial are
