UNION THE ISSUE

The railroad shopmen's strike
takes in all the Hartman lines,
involving more than 25.OOO shop
men according to the five presi-
dents Of the international unions
to which most of the men belong.
According to these same officials,
the struggle will determine 70 q
great extent the future attitude Of
all railroads in their dealings with
employees.
The shipments strike is not be-
cause Of dissatisfaction with wages
nor conditions of labor. but to es-
tablish the newly organized fefler-
alton OF shop employees as n means
of negotiating disputes between
employers and employees. The
railroads refuse to recognize the
federation because officials say, it
would practically mean the placing
Of all operating affairs in the hands
Of the federation and would turn
railrord management into chaos.

Screws

1t is asserted that the smallest screws in
the world are those used in the production OF
watches Thus, the fourth jewel-wheel screw
is the next thing to being invisible, and to
the naked eye it looks like dust; with glass,
however, it is seen to be small screw, with
2GO threads to the inch, ard with very fine
glass the threads may be seen quite clearly.
These minute screws are 4-lOOOths of an inch
in diameter and the heads are double; it is
also estimated that an ordinary lady's thimble
would hold 100, 900 of these screws. No at.
tempt is ever made to count them, the method
pursued in determining the number being to
place 100 of them on a very delicate balance.
and the number of the whole amount us de-
termined by the weight of these, After being
cut the screws are hardened and S.,IG put in

instead Of by sight, and the heads are then

tropics on Christmas Day. The. holiday was
observed as well as possible. and one of the
features was a good dinner. There was cham
pagne on board, but the weather was hot.
There was no ice, and the question was how
to cool the wine.
During the cruise the steamer had been
making deep sea soundings, and the captain
and officers thought that by sinking the bot
ties far down in the sea they would find wa
ter as cool as ice. They Immediately sent
down lot on wire for refrigeration.
At the proper time the bottles were drawn
up, placed on the table, and found to be de-
l,ghtfully chilled, When the steward opened
cork and the wine looked fiat and bad on
being served
What was the astonishment and disgust of
the officers, upon tasting it, to find that it
was pure salt water, instead of sparkling
champagne!
The solution of the matter seems very sim
pie. At the depth to which the bottles were
sunk. the pressure was so great that the salt
water was formed into them through the
pores in the corks, and. being more dense
than the wine. it completely absorbed it.
