propose to leave the employ of the
company in body. To the extent
that this is carried out it will auto
matically throw out of employment

. important that a full understanding
OF the conditions be set forth at the
outset. You are advised, therefore,
that: .-,
Il. All employees employed by the
company failing to respond to the call
for duty will be considered as having
been discharged and will be re-em-
ployed only as new men, forfeiting all
seniority and other rights and privil,
cges.
2. New men taken in by the COM
pany will be retained so long as their
services are satisfactory
.. Men remaining in the employ of
the company will be given the prefer
ence OF positions, other things being
equal.

no fault OF their own will be consid-
cred as absent on vacation without
pay and will no. forfeit any pension

!, Labor day. said Mr.. Ashton.
Y Mr.. Ripley, representing himself

elers that delays might be expected
and notifying shippers of the freight

BULGARIAN TROOPS
CAPTURE DRAMA
Greek City and Three Forts
Seventy Five Miles North
east Of Saloniki Taken.
FIGHTING IN MACEDONIA

Paris, Aug. 30,--The city OF Drama,
in northeastern Greece, has been
seized by the. .Bulgarians after battle
with the Greek garrison, telegraphs
the Athens correspondent of the Ma
tin.
The dispatch says that the Bulgar-
ians captured three forts and took
prisoners the Greek garrison OF lZo
men, and that a number of soldiers
were killed. This news is confirmed,
the correspondent adds. by refugees
who have reached Athens.
Severe fighting is in progress on
the Macedonian front. The war Of
flee report OF today says the French
gained ground west OF the Vardar
river Bulgarian attacks west of Lake
Ostrovo were repulsed by the Ser
bians.
The entente allies bombarded Bull
garian positions on the Struma front
and near Lake Doran; Violent ar
tillery fighting continued in the re-
gion of Ostrovo and Petrenik.
Drama.is one OF the principal towns
in northeastern Greece, seventy-five
miles northeast of Saloniki, in the dis
trict cast Of the Struma river, which
the Bulgarians have been occupying
for the last fortnight. There have
been other reports OF fighting be-
tween Greeks and Bulgarians, but the
French war office on Friday last
stated the Greek garrisons at Kavala
and Drama were still in possession Of
the towns and had not been attacked.
1t was announced at Athens last week
that Germany and Bulgaria had given
written understanding to Greece
that their troops would not enter ka-
vala, Drama or Seres.

Brotherhoods Say
Clayton Law Bars
Court Injunction

Washington, Aug. 50-The injunc-
ton issued in Omaha. which probably
is the forerunner of others, brings
up squarely for the first time in a
labor dispute the effect of the Clay
ton anti-injunction law.
Brotherhood leaders say injunctions
are in direct violation of the law. Its
constitutionality never has been test
ed, but the present crisis may bring
one about
The section which the labor lead
ers say protects them from injunction
against calling or enforcing a strike
follows:
No restraining order or injunction
shall prohibit any person or persons,
whether singly or in concert, from
terminating any relation of employ
ment, or from ceasing to perform
any work or labor, or from recon-
mending, advising or persuading 9TH
ers by peaceful means so to do, 80. or
from peacefully persuading any per-
son to work or to abstain from work
ing, or from ceasing to patronize or
to employ any party to such dispute,
or from recommending, advising or
persuading others by peaceful and
lawful means so TO do. or from pay
ing or giving to or Withholding from
any person engaged in such dispute
any strike benefits or others moneys
or things of value, nor shall
any Of the acts specified in this para
graph be considered or held to be vio-
lations of any law of the United
States"
The heads of the brotherhoods say
any court order directed against them
with view to- preventing a strike
would be ineffective for the reason
that the strike order has passed from
their hands and they have not the
power to recall it.

The Cruel One

He and his father lived alone
In the top of cherries fiat;
Lived in stuffy two by twice."
That squeaked and twittered with rats and mice,
And other things than that.
The times were hard and the nights cold
They both were famished and ill,
For days at time they had meat,
Or much Of aught that fit to eat,
Their prospect dark and chill
Just before Christmas the boy essayed,
To snare for their meal that day,
One of the citys doves that swarm,
And bill and when the days warm
All over the broad highway.
He got kernels of yellow corn,
And fashioned of Irvine,
Then hid in the snow and almost froze
His and fingers and chilled his toes
Waiting to pull his line.
lady in passing espied the lad,
Just the white doves lit
She watched them scatter as tho afraid
She the snarer the catch made.
And guessed at the of it.
"Ah. cruel!" she cried at the happy lad,
Then traced him his room.
Quickly an officer there she sent
To bring the feon to Justice bent.
To add to the youngsters gloom
sInto the court they brought the lad,
And, charged with cruel deed,
He spoke no English. SO naught they knew,
OF what the lad had essayed do,
To tighten his fathers need.
And so the youth had fine to pay
Or sentenced to Jail would be.
The Irish officer paid his fine,
For faith an he looks like that divil NINE"
The boy again set free. =
The lady passed on her careless way.
And thought that her deed good.
Believed the boy was a wicked lad
With nature cruel, and spirit bad,
His deed she misunderstood
But did she dream Of the starving mink
With paws froze stiff in the trap,
That she might dress In the glossy furs7
She only knew that the skins were hers
Nor wept at the mnks mishap.
And what cared she for the egret's young,
Who starved and died in the nest
To add plume to herdainty hat
All no. she never once thought Of that
She wanted to look her best.
And broed live lobster she oft would eat
She never saw one prepared,
Its live claws crushed with a brutal knife
Its body squrming with tortured life,
All, little she knew. cared.
But who do you reckon the worse Of these,
The lady, with ways fine,
Or a hungry laddie. who tried to kill,
That famished father might eat his I'LL,
Who was It, Reader mine?
