NEW YORK Special Railroad

been reached in their negotiations and

nifty railroads east of the Mississippi
River and north of the Ohio, shutting
of food supplies and bringing famine

struggle were long continued.
The railroads have been actively
preparing for a strike.
According TO advices received by
Warren S. Stone, Of the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers, the rail-
roads have sent agents among the

report for duty forthwith and have
used means to influence the members
OF the brotherhood now on duty.

armistice. declared Sunday.
Now we're through" said Chief
Stone. I'VE will wait no longer"
we have kept the truce in good faith {;
Our adversaries have not. The engi-
Aeers are furious at the trick and we
stand as a man on the question of is
suing a strike order. The men have
given us the power by a great ma
5ority and I would oe a fool to per-
init this great organization to be
played with any longer.
II shall wait until about $50
Monday afternoon, and if at that
time the conference committee does
not notify us that they have
granted our demands, or If no
word at all from the committee,
i shall release the strike order
and the representatives will take
it 20 their headquarters, where
the engineers will be given official
notification, when they are to step
from their cabs"
Chief Stone was asked whether
the engineers would leave their
locomotive wherever they hap
pcned to be when the time limit

PRUNE AFFAIR PIONEERING
A Safe Rule To Follow in Caring for
 Growing Shrubs

From the Garden and Farm Almanac.
 All Towering shrubs but hydrangeas should be pruned after they flower Most people who spoil the Towering shrubs do so because they prune them at the wrong time of the year.
 The expert gardener who really knows what he wants, and how 10 attain it, can prune at any time of the year, but for the inexperienced amateur it is wise to follow this safe rule-prune after flow erng. This is stating the idea in the shortest terms, and in practice is the same as the rule commonly given, viz, to prune spring Lowering shrubs in the early summer. and the late Towering kinds like Nhe hYdrangea, in the winter.
 Pruning is done for three definite ob- jects; first, to keep the bushes In proper shape secondly, to keep them within bounds; thirdly, to insure an abundance of bloom next year These three objects can be attained at the same time, but generally the third feature is sacrificed to the other two. The broad principle to observe is to remove all branches which have lowered This causes other buds to push out and the new wood Is made for the next crop of flowers. All dead wood or overcrowded branches will of course be removed in the ordinary course of events.
 All the common or popular spring blooming shrubs flower from buds made on the shoots of the previous year; they have the buds all ready to develop as soon as there is sufficient warmth. By pruning as soon as towering is done room is made for full growth of the new shoot which will flower next season. These shoots are strengthened by this exposure to plenty of light and air, and are in every way better. Moreover. the amateur can see just what he is doing.
 The expert horticulturist who can tell the old wood from the new, will prune in winter or early spring. and be quite suc- eessfu and he will get a more profuse blooming
