R. R. STRIKE
THREATENS

Every indication now points to a
disastrous railroad strike at the first
OF the year. The railroad companies
VII fight the Adamson law in the II.
S. Supreme Court. injunctions against
the o-hour law application already
peinG made by the corporations.
ShoGld the railroads fail to put into
effect the Adamson eight-hour law on
January L next, the most paralyzing
strike in the history of the country
Vii be declared, according to M. S.
sammon, general chairman of the
Philadelphia Council, Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen.
There are 100000 men in the train
service alone" said Mr.. Sammon yes
terl>ay, 'and should a strike be de-
clared a great many more would, of
course, be involved. There are 1000
railroad trainmen in Philadelphia and
a very large number in the State
how many | don't know without look
ing it up. Within ten days from Jan
uary 1 the strike would be declared
On throughout the country. We would
nc defy the courts or refuse to obey
any injunction; we are law-abiding
citizens. And we do not believe in
sympathetic strikes, although, of
IN,
other lines of work quitting of their
own volition.
"The strike" continued Mr.. Sam
mon. would hardly be a new one; it
would rather be an eXtention of the
federal power given the grand chiefs
last May to call strike unless the
roads granted our demands. These
chiefs are w. G. Lee, president of the
brotherhood of Railroad Trainman;
W. S. Stone, representing the locomo-
tive engineer; w. F. CarQter, repre-
senting the tiremen, and A. B. Garri-
son, representing the conductors
"Such strike would tie up every
railroad and practically every city in
the United States.
'Wo do not ask for overtime. What
we ask is to be paid for eight hours
at the ten-hour rate, and we would
even be losing little money, for we
are now paid for eleven hours work
We want to go home to our families
at the end of eight hours. We also
want shorter trains, trains the engine
can properly haul We think the re-
suit would be increased efficiency if
we We're not tagged out at the end of
the days work, and the companies
would be gamers as we'll as we.
There is no reason why the eight-hour
rule could not be put into effect in the
yards now, to the advantage of the
men, the companies and the public,
and better service would result i'm

in ght he shot it, and put it in his
game bag.
Johnson rane up and demanded the
rabbit, claiming it was his, because
his dogs had started it.
To this Gould would not agree. and
hot words followed. Johnson threat
ened to shoot Gould, so Gould alleged.

Queer Bird Islands.

The most curious bird islands" are
to be found among the islands of
Santa Barbara aud in the California
seas. These resting places for the
birds are very small indeed, and often
you can see the island" disappear
from sight, while the bird futters
hastily away to another.
They are simply fish that are per-
haps the LATEST in the whole world Of
ours. The natives call them the mola-
mola. and the white folks know them
as mole, or moon fish They bask in
the sun and seldom leave the surface
of the water except when chased by
an enemy. They vary in size up to
ten feet across their backs. As for
tails, they are satisfied with very rudi-
mentary ones, a mere fringe of finlike
growth serving as such. They are not
afraid of the gulls and cormorants, for
these birds settle down on their backs
and rest there, preening and oiling
their feathers and having fine time.
These fish are not good to eat. being

bad and good, tame and wild. gentle
and vicious, with prices set according

If good horses brought double and
treble the money that bad ones did.
why have any bad ones to sell? And
SO he studied out and followed a set
principle Of gentling, to the effect that,
after holding each animal until its edu-
cation was complete, there were re-
