 In advance of the walkout railroad or ficals have no comment to make, other wise than to point to the reply Of wee President Kruttschnitt, who insists that all that the railroads can do in the mat ters of wages and working conditions has been done.
 When the time comes they say the rail- roads will cope with the situation. on the other hand, union leaders say that never were the men better organized; that they are eager for the struggle, and when the order is issued it will be obeyed almost to the man.
 The strike of the clerks on the southern division of the Illinois Central system and shopmen here and several crafts at New Orleans who anticipated the strike order showed little change except for the action of freight hand lers at New Orleans In quitting their trucks in sympathy. Both sides say the strike is progressing to their satisfac- tion.
 Illinois Central officials assert that men employed to take the places of the strikers are rapidly becoming ac- customed to their duties and whatever congestion of freight that has been oc- casioned by the strike will be speedily relieved.
 Union officials say their ranks are unbrol<en, that additional men are leav- ing their desks, and that freight Is piling up everywhere. The only dis

Immediately, as Work
Is to Start.
THE SECOND LARGEST
Lock VIII be Constructed at the
Cost Of About One Million DOL
lars and VIII be Second
Only to Panama.

The Mississippi River Power Com
pany has been ordered by Major
Charles Keller of Rock Island to pre-
pare Immediately detailed plans sor
the single large lock which will be
built on the site of the present lower
lock and the plans will likely be in
readiness for government inspection
in a short time. Heretofore the CON-
pany's draughtsmen have been SO
busy with other matters that they
have been unable to reach it.
The lock will be the largest in the
world with the exception of that at
Panama. 1t will be ITO feet wide and
AGO feet long with a 40 foot lift. The
lift at Panama is only 35 feet. 1t will
cost approximately s1,000,000. AS the
number of lockages will be reduced
from three to one, and in place of the
canal will lie substituted lake OF
deep water over a mile wide and
forty miles long, it may be seen thai
the work will result In a great i'm

ton with the lock will be built large
