Honors Evelethian.
The qualifications Of Miss Ruth Jes-
more of Eveleth, who is one Of the
Vanity Fair section nominees, are rec
ognized by Vatican, the Minnesota
Daily poet, who penned the following
lines in her honor:
Dainty, fair, bewitching features,
Rather odd but charming walk,
Timid as the shyest creatures,
Sweet but sensible in talk;
That is Ruth-we would defend her
With our utmost might and main,
! And for beauty recommend her.
The Gopher publishers have adver-
tised their book in way which would
do Broadway press agents credit. Pic

est.

proposition concerning wages

when selling our labor"
This means that there will be no
arbitration unless the company be-
fore arbitration hearings start speci-
fies just what. it will grant. The men
are not going to trust to outside per-
sons to determine what is a ''fair
proposition" when their wages are
the issue. The car men have their
skill and labor to sell. They want
their price; enough to live decently
upon.
"The refusal of your company to
present any fair proposition must
make it responsible" says the union
letter to Busby.
Busby and the loop papers have
daily quoted, from the 1911 agree
ment and the unions constitution in
an endeavor to show that the men
must arbitrate or break their solemn
word. 49,
In an official statement today this
Was shown to be untrue. The agree
ment ceased to be effective May 81,
therefore no clause of it is now bind
ing. The clause in the constitution
provides for arbitration for petty
grievances which do not concern
salary, and it does not hold if the
agreement with the company has ex-
pired.
The elevated employees will also
walk out. They wrote to Britton l.
Budd, president of the Chicago Ele-
vated Lines railroads, today, an
nouncing this intention. The eIevat-
ed men rejected the offer made by
Budd yesterday. This offer granted
a one-cent an hour raise to some new
men and slight increases to ticket
sellers and switchmen. No in
creases were offered to older men.
The offer was given no serious con-
sideration.
In their letter to Budd the men
pointed out that the elevated must

given a chance to get home.
The strike will not affect the Chi
cago, Aurora & Elgin electric line,
which runs into the city over the
Metropolitan 81" unless an attempt
is made to use strike breakers on
"L' trains. If this is done the Elgin
trainmen will refuse to run into the
city.
Surface and elevated line chiefs
say the companies will not attempt
to run cars while the strike is on.
By Sunday it is believed there will
be thousands of autos in use as jitney
buses. The steam lines are prepar-
ing to increase their service. ........
