ANOTHER LITTLr; PICK

Starting with Andrew Carnegie
picking the twenty men with the
highest batting average in the Success
league and winding up with ST Per
kins of the Bingville Bugle picking
the homeliest twenty girls in Hard
scrapple county. it appears that nearly
every n has taken a whack at the
twenty pastime and it is now permits
slble for nearly anyone to do a little
picking. How's this:
keough. Richie and Force
Have all had their own little pick,
But there are just two in the big wide
world
Who are handiest with the big
stick"
The two who have made a mighty biz
fuss
Each time they have swatted a welt
are they you ask? Why that is
a snap,
It's Ty Cobb and Teddy Roosevelt.

ENCINEMEN
ASK MORE PAY
Want rs Per Cent. Increase
FrOm Both P. R. R. and
P. 6R.

Demands have been made by the en-
gineers Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway for an increase in wages Of
from Is to 25 per cent This action is
in common with that of the engine
men Of other roads east of the Miss
issippi River.
1t was said that conferences on the
subject might be begun in a month or
so. 1t is known that the Pennsylvania
management will not confer with the
employees as unionists, but only as
employees. At the same time. the
Pennsylvania does not refuse to meet
representatives of their men, even
though these be union leaders.
According to some Of the railroad
managers who have discussed the de-
mands openly, the increase of % per
cent. would mean more than a dollar
day.
Daniel Willard, president of the
Baltimore and Ohio, has arranged to
confer with representatives of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
which, in this instance, will espouse
the cause Of the enginemen of all the
roads WHICH have received the de-
mands.
The high cost of living is the
ground on which the demand is made.
But the railroad managers say in re-
ply that traffic is not sufficiently re-
muneratiye to warrant the concession
asked.
One of the methods pursued by the
Pennsylvania Railroad in the dispute
with the trainmen was to poll the en-
ployes to ascertain their loyalty The
trainmen who were unionists also
took a vote on their demands. II Is
supposed that this will be the plan
adopted by both parties this time, if
indeed, the union engineers have not
done so already.
