that If clear, aggravated case was
brought before him he would sent
ence the offending striker to one year
in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta.
The system federation official de-
clare they will fight to the last against
this government by Injunction which
has become of so much Importance
in recent political events
Although officials of the Illinois
Central admit that between 1900 and
$4,000 of their employees have walked
out they declare their places will be
filed without difficulty and that the
road will suffer no Inc nvenience as
a result of the strike.
System federation officials along
the Hartman lines declare all their
members obeyed the strike call. and
place their number at $4,000. These
figures are absolutely denied by
Julius Kruttschnitt. director of oper-
alton and maintenance, who declared
tonight the Hartman lines do not
employ $4,000 men in the crafts in
volved. He declared further that not
nearly ali the men went out. In the
Omaha general shops, he said, only
20 per cent quit; in the Sacramento
general shops, 25 per cent, anG in
the Oakland shop yards only Ii per
cent.
Train schedules on all lines are
normal" added Kruttschnitt, land
the maintenance of regular schedules
will in no manner be interrupted"
1t will be impossible for several
days to determine exactly how many
men will go out as a result of the
strike order. Many of the shops OF
the Hartman lines and the Illinois
Central have been working only half
time, and were closed down Saturday,
SO it is impossible for either the fed
GRAFTON or the railroad officials to
determine the exact number of strik-
ers.
In anticipation of the strike, it is
conceded that the roads have been
making extensive repairs on all their
rolling stock and tonight they claim
to be able to run for two months
without maxim repairs. In the mean
time, they declare, strike breakers will
be employed.
The real menace of the strike, from
the viewpoint Of the railroads is that
train crews will be involved. 1t is the
fear OF that contingency that is caus.
ing the greatest alarm.
Offices were opened in number OF
buildings here today for the employ
ment of strike breakers, and it is ad
mitted that several hundred already
have been sent south along the lines
Of the Illinois Central Scores OF
private detectives have been sworn
in as special agents. both to guard
the company's property and to pro.
tect the strike breakers.
Chief McWeeney, of the Chicago
police force, is holding 5000 city po-
licemen in reserve to handle possible
strike riots at Burnside, where 1900
Illinois Central shopmen quit.
Bedding, arms, provisions. cooking
utensils and cots for withstanding
! long sieges at strike points are being
forwarded from Chicago tonight on
special trains.
The strike followed the refusal of
| the Hartman lines and the Illinois
Central to recognize the system fed
Grafton. This, in effect, is a union OF
unions, which demands that all con
| tracts be signed on the same day, and
that all expire the same day, so that
general strike, such as is now SO
popular in Europe, might be called

In the Far West.

San FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 3d.
Reports tonight from all points on
the Pacific coast indicated that the
walkout OF shopmen was complete. In
every city and hamlet where shop.
men were employed by the Southern
Pacific or allied Hartman lines in
the west, the men dropped their
work promptly at 1000 a. M. and
stepped into what is likely to prove
one OF the bitterest strikes in rail
road history, determined to secure
recognition of the system federation,
their demands for wage increases and
shorter working days.
AS nearly as can be ascertained to-
night 4,000 shopmen are on strike in
California, 500 in Nevada and 3,400 in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho, a to-
tai of $500 on the Pacific coast.
Although the strikers have declared
they will conduct the strike peaceably,
the railroads tonight have their shops
guarded by special policemen. Every
plant is surrounded by a high stock
ade, capped with barbed wire. The
barricades were constructed last
month. Strike breakers are being
imported and the unions began picket
Ing the shops throughout California
tonight.
When the 500 shopnlen employed in
the Southern Pacific shop went out in
Oakland, 80 members Of the switch
mems union struck in sympathy, say
ing they could not conscientiously
handle cars previously handled by
non-union workmen. In Los Angeles
one hundred Santa Fee shopmen began
sympathetic strike when some I'M
finished work was sent to the Santa
Fe shops for completion. The union
lists have apparently entered the fight
united.
In the larger railroad centers, the
walkout was SO orderly that people
hardly realized that a gigantic strike
was commencing. At the San Fran
cisco shops, the men fled out quietly,
the youngsters whistllng and dancing,
the older employees serious and de-
termined.

President Ernest Reguin, OF the

HOLD THE RIGHT IDEALS.
Latent Courage and the Power of Men
 &aI Suoaestion.

tai Suggestion.
 We not only can strengthen mental weaknesses and deficiencies, but 1t is perfectly possible to increase the gen. erRl ability through the power of sug- gestion, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Magazine. Indeed, the sus- ceptibility of all the mental faculties to improvement, to enlargement, is something remarkable.
 Sometimes very strong faculties are latent until especially aroused. There are many people who pass for cow ards, who are humiliated because they have so little courage, when, if they only knew how, they could strengthen this deficient faculty wonderfully by holding the courageous ideal, by thinking and doing the courageous deeds, by carrying the thought of fear lessness, by reading about heroic lives, by constantly thinking the heroic thought and trying to live 1t. The courage may be small in person be- cause 1t has never been called into sufficient exercise. It may need only to be aroused. There are many people living lives of mediocrity who might do great things, might become mental giants, if their dormant faculties were aroused their general ability improved and enlarged.

PIon.Plon and Rernnardt.

Prince Napoleon, commonly known Hs Plon-Plon, often used to come to George Sands rehearsals. He was ex- tremely fond of her. The first time I ever saw that man turned pale and felt as though my heart stopped beat ing. He looked so much like Napo- leon I. that disliked him for 1t. By resembling him it seemed to me that he made him seem less far away and brought him nearer to every one.
 Mime. Sand introduced him to me in spite of my wishes. He looked at me in an hnpertinent way. He displeased me. I scarcely replied to his compli- ments and went closer to George Sand.
 "Why, she is in love with you"' he exclaimed, laughing. George Sand stroked my cheek gently. "She is my little madonna" she answered; do not torment her."-Sarah Bernhardt's Mem OirS.
