The Funeral of The Maine.

Out of the harbor she sought long ago,
Harbof that welcomed, but served not

Under the clouds, bending piteous and

Not from the glory OF victorys morn
But from her travail of flame and Of

Lo, a republic was born.
Not in the arms of this Queen of the

fingered the dust of her far-famous
dead:
Forests of palms hailed the flag on her
decks
Roses above her We're spread.
Long had she waited her funeral-day,
Lying in rough state mid sunlight. or
gloom:
Now the worlds plaudits each step of
the way
Followed her path to the tomb
Full sixty fathoms we buried her low.
Meath the rough sea and the ne'er-
changing skies;
Far from molestinS of friend or of foe
Needless of tempests she lies
Lies in the arms of the ocean-waves
pressed,
With the wet sea-roses over her spread,
While, with the love of nation ea-
reSSed,
Arlington cares for her dead

West Facing Big Strike.

Denver.-The West is face to face
with the biggest railroad strike in it's
history.
Between 100000 and 100000 men
have voted in favor of a walkout.
The orders were not issued on ac-
count of negotiations between julius
Kruttschnitt, director of maintenance
of way of the Hartman lines. and rep
resentatives of the shopmen on that
system looking to settlement of the
strike which has ben on for more than
a year.
This development reveals the full
Significance of the negotiations to set
tie the Hartman lines strike.
The proposed strike of between
100000 and 100000 shopmen on air
roads in the West is contingent on
settlement Of the Hartman line trou-
bles.
The shopmen on the Colorado &
Southern and the Denver & Rio
Grande are among those who voted to
strike.
The failure of President Taft to
take steps to bring about a settlement
of the shopmen's troubles on the Har-
riman lines is the direct cause of the
crisis.
Recently an amalgamation of the or
ganizations of the machinists. boiler
makers. blacksmiths and all shopmen
was perfected at Kansas City.
The new organization was christ
ened the Federation of Federations
and represents a membership of ap-
proximately 100000 in the various un-
ions affiliated with 1t.
The membership embraces the un-
ions on practically every road west OF
Chicago and st. Louis.
