ShoD Strike

Chicago Aug. 1O.-Ra:lroa5 officials
have declared that the strike which
threatens western railroads is being
planned as a demonstration of strength
by the railroad department of the
American Federation of Labor
The railroad department of the
American Federation of Labor was or
gained four years ago. It S said to
have a membership of nearly 700,
comprising shopmen and telegraphers
of eighteen railroads
The action of the Hartman lines in
refusing a wage increase 1t is said, will
be followed by the heads of other rail-
roads. The informal conference be-
tween western railroad officials on the
subject of the strike are being con-
tinued.

BIG TELEGRAPHER STRIKE ON.
Big Four Men Vote for It-New York
Central Men May Go.

Chicago, Aug. 1O.-A strike of rail-
road teIegraphers of the New York
Central lines is threatened as a result
of the attitude of the management on
an increase in wages. That such a
walkout would spread. in all probable
ity, to other roads was the opinion ex-
pressed by those in close touch with
the situation. Nothing but interview
ton on the part of President w. c.
Brown, at present in Europe and a
marked change in the attitude of the
company, it is declared, can prevent
the struggle. All of the union teleg-
raphers employed on the Big Four al
ready have voted to strike and efforts
to effect an adjustment of their diff
Guilty within the past few days have
proven unavailing.
At q meeting held In Buffalo, at
which local branches of the Order of
Railroad Telegraphers on all of the
lines embraced on the New York Cen
trail system were represented, it was
decided to present demands to the
company at once for increased pay,
similar to the schedule submitted by
the Big Four keymen. In the event
these demands are refused-and many
of the telegraphers fear they will be
prompt steps will be taken to take a
strike vote all along the lines. The
sentiment expressed at the Buffalo
meeting was unanimous in favor of
concerted strike action as soon as all
means for a peaceful solution of the
controversy have failed
The telegra pliers are demanding an
increase of 25 per cent in paw. They
declare that they have not received an
advance from the New York Central
management in a long time and that

er with the service they give the com

in times gone by used to roast eggs.
pieces of meat and potatoes in embers
in the old wood cook stove or in the
big open fireplace. Barns were search
ed for hens nests. and the fine, fresh
eggs We're wrapped in heavy paper.
The paper was dampened. aud several
thicknesses of it protected the eggs

per in a ball is hard to burn. Well.
the wrapped up eggs were put on the
live Goals and partially covered by
them. In from five to fifteen minutes
the egg was roasting hot and ready to
eat with salt, pepper and butter. A
pin hole was made in the big end of
the egg so as to let the steam escape
to keep it from bursting the shell and
the meats from running out. If you
have never as a small boy roasted such
eggs you have missed one of child
