CHICAGO FACING
BIGGEST GAR LINE
T|E-UP IN HISTORY
Surface and Elevated En-
ployes Are Demanding
Wage Increase.

CHICAGO. Aug. AIT 4 o'clock this
morning q twenty-four-hour strike bal
lot was begun by the street railway
men. Leaders Of the carmen union say
that sentiment indicates clearly that
the result of the ballot would be a
walkout. The ballot follows the re-
fusal Of the street car companies to
grant wage increase and the refusal
Of the men to accept a renewal of the
old contracts.
During the early hours the vote was
heavy, and the leaders of the unions
predicted that practically the entire vote
of the 10,6O0 men employees on the plat
forms Of the cars would be cast
While this strike Is pending represen-
tatves of the elevated railroad employees
today met the officials of the companies
with demand for a wage increase. The
elevated men may be involved in the
strike, and a complete tie-up of trans
portation may result.
Under an agreement that has been in
existence for years, but has never be-
fore been put into effect when both
street car men and elevated men are
seeking q wage inrcease, neither shall
settle without the consent of the other
An elevated strike would effect about
2700 men.

health OF the fair sex of the National
Capital

women's committee. procured the verbal
pledge OF a number OF the most eminent
barrtsters IN Washington, who requested
that their names be withheld until they
actually begin the work They gave as
surance that their services in the fight
for lower steps would be gratis.
One Of the attorneys interviewed. a
former United States District Attorney of
Washington. declared that in his belief
the women's committee will not have
TO resort to law to procure lower street
car steps This, attorney asserted that
he has conferred with street railway off,
cials and learned that IL n strong demand
Is made by the public the high steps will
be abolished.

CHEMISTRY A KEY
TO RACE ADVANCE
DR.. H. W. Wiley Declares Our
Buildings Are Defective from
Hygienic Point Of View.

An address by DR.. Harvey W. Wiley on
Chemistry and hygiene" and the adop-
ton Of resolutions OF tribute and respect
to Mrs Lydia Young wither, member
of the organization, whose death was an
nounced by President II. c. Kirk. were
the features Of the regular meeting Of the
Secular League, held at Pythian Temple
yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Wiley handled his subject in his
characteristics fashion. He stated that
persons listening to him might yet see
the north pole become a summer resort
as the result Of Peary's discovery.
A feature Of the address was a criticism
of present methods Of constructing pub
lie and other buildings, which. the speak
er declared, are built as II man were not
breathing animal and had no use for
air. Every other feature but the comfort
and health OF those who are 10 occupy
them is considered in the construction OF
buildings, said the speaker. He thought
II should be a penitentiary offense to con-
struct houses one against the other, and
deplored the fact that even in the SUBJ
urbs, where there is abundance Of space,
this practice is often followed
This and many other hygienic evils. In
cluding the pollution of the atmosphere
and the streams Of water. the speaker at
tributed to popular ignorance OF the prin-
ciples OF hygienic chemistry. He held
that the application OF these principles
would remedy these evils, and that there
Is great need Of popular education in this
line. He declared that there ought to be
a system of chemical hygiene connected
with all factories and all municipalities,
and predicted that such will be the case
when the people become instructed on the
subject.
The speaker held chemistry to be the
basic science of life, and declared that
every phenomenon of life, no matter
how simple or how complex, is a chemi-
cal one. His address was directed 10
showing the great importance Of this
basic and fundamental science OF chem
istry TO hygiene. He declared that the
principles Of chemistry, when hygienlcaIly
applied, will prove the physiological SAL
walton of humanity.
The address was followed by a general
discussion. participated in by President
II. c. Kirk, David Eccles, DR.. ]. ]. Shir-

I'VE further think it advisable to
petition the government to send an er-
ficient corps of engineers to survey
and determine from their data the
most feasible route for railroad
from the coast to the Matanuska coal
belt.
I'VE earnestly commend the just ef-
forts of the government to quash all
illegal entries TO coal lands in Alas
ka.
I'VE also hope to see, In the near
future, the interstate commerce laws
extended to Alaska, authorizing the
commission to exercise the same juris-
diction in Alaska as in the states, as
we know that nothing but good to the
territory can result therefrom."
From the foregoing it may be jtdg-
ed that there are some people in AL

oped on basis of helping the general
Public and not with the sole idea of
further enriching few multi-mil-

THEY DO NOT ALL OBJECT.

Those who speak for the private in
terests that have been exploiting
Alaska have long sought to create the
impression that residents of Alaska
are almost on the part of taking arms
against the government because of
the conservation policy.
But a petition that has just been
addressed to congress by citizens OF
Valdez does not bear out the state.
ments of the Morganheims. The pc
tition is worth repeating in full and
is as follows:
I'VE tender the following reasons
why the government should own and
work coal mines and control railroads
in Alaska:
Il. That the men working in the
coal mines would get an eight-hour
day, with fair wages for the same.
80 They would be housed in COM
Portable, commodious and sanitary
dwellings.
scientific manner. BY that We mean
that the mines would be we'll timber
ed and ventilated, thereby insuring
safety to the miners from explosions

the cause of great loss of life in so
many coal mines worked by private
! interests in the states.
-. Labor troubles would be elimin-
ated. The government. by paying fair
wages and protecting its employees
from loss of life, could at all times be
well supplied with competent and in
telligent workmen, thereby insuring
for the territory permanent and
desirable class of citizens. Further
more, we believe that Alaska, as well
as the Pacific coast states, would be
igreatly benefited if the government
would work the coal mines. inasmuch
as we would be able to purchase coa1
from the government at fair or reas-
enable price, as against exorbitant
prices we have to pay at the present
time to private monopoly.
Furthermore, we firmly believe
that the government should own the
railroads of the territory of Alaska, a!
we believe the government would b.
