HAVE GONE ON STRIKE

Vancouver, B. c., July 25.-Two
thousand men, members Of the In
dustrial Workers Of the World, have
gone on strike, on the Grand Trunk
Pacific, hating construction work on
that line for distance Of 1870 miles.
The Industrial Workers assert that
by the end Of the week the entire
grade through to Yellow Head will
pe tied up, and that another thous-
and men will quit work.
AS in the case with the Canadian
Northern strike, no demands have
been made from the construction
ontractors for higher wages or

CHINESE SHY OF The AUTO
Modern Method of locomotion Has
Found Little Favor in That
Country.

In China, where gasolene costs 80
cents a gallon, the automobile is
making progress slowly, but as mod
ern ideas are rapidly becoming more
prevalent, as indicated BY the recent
demands for a progressive govern
ment, this condition is likely to
change.
The chief difficulty is the narrow
ness Of village streets and the small
number Of good country roads. In
and about the large cities, however,
the streets are often excellent.
At Tientsin there are twelve cars,
three being owned by Cinnamon. The
streets Of the foreign section are
broad, level and excellently macad-
amized, while splended boulevard
eneircles the native city. Pekin also
has a dozen cars which are used Oh
her wide, well-kept streets.
Tsingtau has about sixty miles Of
splendid roads running along the
ocean front and into the mountains
near by, afording one Of the finest
spots in the world for autcmobiling.
In spite Of this fact.there are but six
automobiles.
The roads in the'vicinity Of Nam
kin, China, are in exceptionally good
condition for aut omobiling, and
there are only two automobiles
owned by residents, these being the
property Of Chinese-Country Life
in America. \

Intervention in Mexico has
been suggested as the only cure
for the evils that exist in that
unfortunate republic. 1t may
be necessary for the United
States to do this in order to
keep other governments out Of
the trouble, but it will never be
a money making business for
this country. Nothing but the
strong hand will ever keep those
turbulent Mexicans in bounds,
and should this country under
take the job it would require the
presence of an army as large as
the United States army on
peace footing, even with the best
wishes Of the better element in
Mexico.

NO RHUBARR FOR THEM.

This incident happened at camp,
when a corporal, who was making up

tent orderly, who suggested a change

The movement to improve the
Old Military Road, which mas
been advocated in this paper, IS
a measure that will be good for
the whole state and not confined
to those counties through which
the road runs. Other counties
that are in touch with the road
can use this as a base, and
branch roads in all directions
will be made to lead to it. Then
it will also be used as a model
road, which will be worth more
than all in showing how the
scientific road work should be
conducted.

HOWARD PLAYS LINCOLN.
Foot Bail Game Thanksgiving Day
to Decide Colored Championship.

The classic athletic event among color
ed colleges takes place in this city
Thanksgiving day, when Howard Uni
versity and Lincoln University meet on
Howard campus. This event is one of
stellar interest, and excursion parties
are coming from Baltimore, Atlantic City,
Philadelphia and New York. Last
Thanksgiving day Howard and Lincoln
battled to g . to . tie. Howard was the
favorite in this contest, and it's adher-
ents felt that it suffered a moral defeat.
This year the Howard team goes against
its Pennsylvania rivals in fine fettle after
having defeated Hampton, Shaw and
Livingston in order, but without the
overcontidence which handicapped it last
year. Several of the Howard stars who
have been suffering from injuries are
back in form. Lincoln is building its
hopes largely on Collins, the heady back.
whose brilliant punting was a feature of
last years game. Howard in Ed Gray
has a terrific ground gamer. The two
teams stand on practically even bases,
and luck may determine the winner
Lincoln will bring trainload of stu
dents and friends from its retreat in
Chester county, Pa. Many other Lincoln
rooters from Philadelphia viii join them.
1t is expected the crowd that will
witness this game will be the LARGEST
that has ever attended a contest between
colored colleges.
