St. Paul, Nov. 3O-Conhicting state
ments Of the results of tne switch
mems strike on northwestern rail
roads were made by Off -'a!s of the
railroads and of the switchmen's I'M
ion. President HawleI, of the switch
men, said:
Il have definite reports from every
point affected. Ny information is
that the strike order is oHeyed to a
man. am informed thar road men
refused to do the work Of the swift
men. | 90 moi think there villa be
any sympathetic strike.
THE strike is the most complete
and determined eve saw. Rousing
meetings were held i'll ST. Paul and
Minneapolis tonight, and they agreed
to fight it OUT
General Manager Slade of the Nor
thern Pacific, said:
"~IndicatiOns from the railrOa1c
standpoint are very favorable. Men
refused to obey the strike order in
seven yards Of the Northern Pacific.
While passenger traffic is de,ayed
somewhat. it is moving all right and
we are moving some freight. In a
few days, | think, the conditions will
be about normal. The same general
conditions apply to the Great North
ern."
When asked at what points the
Northern Pacific men refused to go
out. Slade said he could not give
them at present, as he received them
hurriedly over the telephone. The
following roads are affected:

Burlington, Chicago. st. Pacl. Mime

Both Make Statements

St. Paul. Nov. 20-After fifteen
DAYS Of negotiating between the
S~witchmen's Union of North America
and a joint committee OF railroad
managers representing thirteen rail
roads of the northwest, a strike in
v0lying $500 sWitChmen became effec-
tive at 6 O'Clock tonight.
TIE men engaged in the strike are
employed by the railroads running
west and north of ST. Paul from Lake
Superior to the Pacific coast. Unless
speedily settled. the strike will mean
serious interruption of traffic.
The first effect was a sharp bulge
in the price of wheat at Chicago late
today. AS the roads entering the
Twin Cities and Duluth and Superior
are largely grain carriers from the
west, long interruption of traffic will
cause apprehension. Tonight both
sides to the dispute issued state
ments. The railway managers COM
mittee issued the following, address

Women Wear Stockings.

lAAllICu.
Women Wear Stockings.
Only in presence Of the Americans
will the women wear stockings. Their
little naked feet, cased in a sandal,
are free from covering, and though
the body is in pearls and diamonds
and the sandals are of silk adorned in
topaz and beads. the feet are naked.
The head is always without a hat. a
silk or pima shawl or a mantilla
woven in silver threadings being used
as cover. White are the mantillas
for the young; black for the old.
When the girls are girls white must
be their gown coloring; as young
women before marriage. pink, red and
violet; after marriage, gray, the badge
of suppression or %subjection; when
grown in age, black is the only per-
MISSILE color. Thus by the dress the
status is ascertained and age known.
These women have the most musical
voices in conversation l have heard in
all Asia.
The humber people dress character
istically of their station. The men
are barefoot, with white or yellow
loose, baggy trousers, a shirt with
tails" hanging owe as pajamas and
any form of hat heard of, seen or
capable of being worn, native straw
prevailing.
The women also are barefoot, or
wear straw O sandals, red skirt. yell
low waist of plain material, adorned
in all colors of ribbon or dressings
known to art, of common fabric and
cheap design. Thus they walk the
streets, carrying massive loads on
their heads, as the negro women in
the south.
Lower Glass Gay.
These lower class people, as they
walk, or, if riding, crowd in dozens on
the cart or little galesche or hack,
mutter as they go, laugh and smoke
cigarettes. Women, when old, smoke
cigars and puff like a smoke stack in
Chicago.
The wife, when she works. supports
the husband. He stays home, directs
the children, sleeps and prepares the
house rooster for the pit at the next
Sunday gambling cockight. He has
taken all his wife's earnings and lost
it; it matters not. She gives him the
remainder, or he sells the house
furnishing for more money to bet.
What the horse a is to the French,
the bullfght to the Spaniards, base
ball to the American, the cockfght is
to the Filipino; only there are no
amateurs, all are professional gam.
blers in the cockpit.
1t Is the stock exchange gambling
in Manila among the population. The
winning rooster is the hero. 1t Is put
before horse or dog and always along
with the child. The cock is the sacred
bird. No worship of the pigeon in
Russia or dove in Italy can compare
with that bestowed on the game cock
in the Philippines. particularly when
the bird can wear a steel garland
kill 1t opponent.
Thus from throwing pennies on the
sidewalk by the children to the game
cock pits on Sundays, the play with
cards indoors and dominoes in clubs,
the Filipino is a languishing and con-
slant gambler. trifiing with chance

The natives construct an instrument

flutelike in tone. From this the most

These Filipino women cluster dia-
monds around them as buttons may
be seen on an American gown. Dia-
monds about their bodies large as the
usual pearl bodice buttons are fixed
to them as if sewed on. These are the
result OF years of accumulation, and a
family asset to be held and trans

The close of the week looked good

hours of trading being crowded with
a manner of activity that gave the
impression that they were all being

Christmas presents during this week.
Expectation is that tomorrow or
Tuesday will see things moving up

reason for the halt and there is none
whatever for it's remaining in COM
