r. r. EMPLOYEES STRIKE. MAY 90
TO FEDERAL MEDIATION -,

After two years existence, the
great strike of the $4,000 employees OF
the Illinois Central and Hartman
railroads may be left to federal
mediation. J.-is.-z-
Four hundred of the strikers, who
walked out because the railroad mag
mates refused to recognize the fed
Grated shopmen, celebrated the sec
ond anniversary yesterday at Turner
Hall, Dobson avenue and 18th street.
Frank Comerford, general counsel
for the Brotherhood Of Railroad Car
men, outlined aIplan to bring the
grievances of the men before the new
federal industrial commission, re-
Gently appointed by President Viii
son.
The assembled strikers are enthus-
iastic in their support of his sugges-
lion. 1t was agreed that Comerford
and a committee of the carmen
should meet today and select a dele
cation, to present the demands of the
men at Washington.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-09-29

"The entire evidence concerning
the strike will be presented to the
commission" said Comerford. ct
will be the first case the body will
consider.
president Wilson's idea is that an
enlightened public will right indus
trial wrongs. We will have the OPP
portunity of enlightening the public
as to the facts in this strike. We will
test this matter with publicity.
"Take heart. This strike is not
lost. Our two years struggle for the
maintenance of a principle will be the
means of paving the way for a new
and general recognition of union
labor"
The strikers renewed their pledges
to continue the strike. They also de-
nounced the: scheming of the Illinois.
Central officials to disrupt the Illinois
Central system federation. Only a
handful of the $4,000 men who went
out ON strike have returned to work.

Spring Clipping Of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spring. 1t is done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as I'M
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work of
taking off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do it.
Dairymen also now clip the cows all
over two or three times a year. The tanks
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts be-
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.

ALWAYS CHANCE FOR A JOB
Vacancies Numerous in This Mine,
but Permanently Was Not a
Strong Asset.

James G. Andrew, president of the
International Compressed Air and
Foundation Workers union, said re-
Gently in Chicago that the caisson
worker, or sandhog, as he is usually
called, has the most dangerous work
in the world
The work of a sandhog is so dan
gerous." said Mr.. Andrew, that the
story of the Durham mine. exaggerat-
ed as it is in refernce to mining,
might almost be true Of foundation
work.
In Durham, the story goes, there is
certain colliery which is noted for
the extraordinary number Of its acct
dents. One day a man, looking for
work, stepped up to the foreman and
said:
I've been out Of work for a month.
Are there any vacancies here?'
Were full up at present. the fore
man replied. but if We hang round
for a few hours there'll be, no doubt,
an accident. an if the mans killed ye
can have his place."

after payment of rods equaling in

Any townsman nourishing enmity

In spite of the vigilance of the gov

Closely as the dread secrets of the
Long Juju were guarded, rumors at
length reached the government. and
the district commissioner, at great per-
sonal risk, made inquiries. Though
baffled for time, he was determined
to stamp out the movement, and the
