BROTHERHOOD
DECIDES TO
STRIKE
Dispute Affects At Roads
and viii Tie Up
Traffic

Chicago. March s5-At midnight last
night w 3. Carter. president 81 the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, said that strike OF
$4,000 firemen on practically all the
western railroads had been called.
Mr. Carter stated the decision to
strike has been reached at meeting
OF forty-three members of the western
federated board Of the brotherhood,
each member representing western
road.
The exact hour at which the men
are to walk out, he said, would be de-
oided today and every msmber Of the
union between Chicago and the Pa
cific coast would then be informed BY
telegraph when to quit
The strike has been called-that
much is certain said Mr.. Carter. 1T
means that not only 25,oO0 firemen,
members Of our union, will 90 out, but
perhaps that many more employees will
be thrown out in consequence.
The controversy which has been un.
der discussion for six weeks. involves
forty-seven railroads operating west,
northwest and southwest Of Chicago.
and embraces about 10000 miles OF
railroads.
Il has previously been stated by both
sides that If strike were called ii
would tie up practically every freight
and passenger train between Chicago
ard the Pacific coast.
Points in dispute ares
Increase in wages demanded. which
the union officials say would amount
to about 12l1 per cent but the officials
say amounts to 22is per cent. The
Elght Of the union in question Of repE
resentation when a fireman has been
promoted to an enginenian or to am
other capacity over which another nn.
ion claims jurisdiction
Questions Of seniority, or the promo
ton Of new men over old time EN-
ployes
The railroad managers committee,
composed of ten Of the general mana
gers Of western railroads and headed
BY w G. Nixon. general manager Of
the St. Louis & San Francisco road.
already had agreed to submit the wage
question to arbitration under the Erd-
man act, but had declined to arbitrate
the other two points, on the ground
that they were matters OF official au-
thority and discipline and could not be
arbitrated.
To this attitude the union officials
or Sunday sent what they called an
ultimatum,' declaring that il all three
points were not submitted to settle
ment by arbitration, strike would
be inevitable.

THE KAISER AND WOMEN.
Would Help Them Earn Living, But
Doubts Them Politically

The kaiser is following the develop
ments of the modern feminist move
ments with closest attention. Hitherto
his majesty has been very reticent on
this subject, so far as his public utter
ances are concerned. but among his
intimate friends he has frequently dis
cusSed it.
1t appears that the kaiser is alto
gether OH the side of those who would
open up new fields of activity for wo-
men. He would remove all obstacles
which stand in the way of women
earning their daily bread. Women, he
believes, are now compelled to enter all
branches of trade and all professions
open to them. He would fit them edu-
cationally for every walk of life. He
would open all grammar schools to
them, and gradually all universities.
On the political side of the question,
however, the kaiser's views are not so
far advanced. With regard to women's
claims to participation in politics the
kaiser would appear to be very doubt
full, and recent developments, especially
the suffragettes' tactics in England aud
America, are viewed by his majesty
with dislike and suspicion, and make
him doubtful whether women are
qualified to participate in the political
contests of the time. In a word, he
would fit women for the battle of life
and do all in his power to elevate them
intellectually and morally.-Dde Post,
Berlin.

One Of the important factors in the
theatrical season now opening over the
country is the stock company. There
will be more than 100 theaters devoted
to this form Of entertainment in the
season. Until about two years ago
the stock company was looked upon as
a form Of summer amusement attend
ed only because of lack of travelling at
fractions Now it is a permanent insti-
tuition catering to thousands of intelll-
gent playgoers-
ITO the public the stock company Of
fers the opportunity Of seeing standard
plays at moderate prices said Robert
Blaylock of the North Brothers COM
pany ito the actor it offers longer
season under more pleasant circum-
stances than a road tour, and to the
author it is permanent source of rev.
enue as the royalties paid always are
high, even after the play has outlived
its usefulness on the week and one
night stands.
Until recent years, especially in the
smaller cities actors were looked upon
with suspicion, an ancient prejudice
kept alive by yellow journals elabor-
ating upon the misdeeds of anyone con-
nected with a theater, thus casting re-
Elections upon the good men and wo-
men Of the stage.
Such impressions have been or are
being wiped out in cities where stock
companies flourish. Many friendships
have sprung up between members of
the companies and the best people.
Public and player have been brought
closer together and the acquaintance
ship has demonstrated that the people
of the stage, for the most part, are
men and women of the highest type.
including college graduates, students of
art and science This wholesome in
terest has resulted in a wholesome in
terest and an intelligent conception of
the drama"
The greater difficulty which con-
fronts the management Of a stock conf
pany is the selection of plays. Of
course, the manner in which a stock
production is received depends as much
on the circumstances under which it IS
presented as the merit of its presenta-
tion A play which would please inn
menSely In summer would be failure
in winter, and vice versa. The Christ
mas play would not be rershe6 in Holy
Week-too many melodramaS or weepy
emotional offerings soon would pail
and results would be disastrous to the
box office. Therefore the man who
selects the plays must understand what
the public wants.
