Claim Engineers Will Stick.

The Minneapolis and ST Louis rail-
road at Minneapolis stated that en-
gineers of that road would remain at
work to a man, averrng that the vote
necessary to make strike imperative
had not been taken. President Calvin
of the Union Pacific at Omaha an
nounced that the engineers of that
line would remain, holding themselves
not to be involved in the movement,
and he added that a very large per
centage of conductors and trainmen
would remain. The general manager
of the Minneapolis. st. Paul and Sault
Ste. Marie road stated that assurances
of loyalty had been received from 40
per cent of the trainmen, and that
the engineers and firemen of the road
did not take the strike vote because of
a three-yearS contract.
One thousand conductors of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee and st. Paul tele-
graphed President Garretson of the
brotherhood that they would not walk
out if ordered to do so. and a delepa-
ton of conductors of the Chicago and
Northwestern is en- route to Washing
ton to oppose a strike before Congress
and the brotherhood heads. At Louis
Vile, KY, fifteen Louisville and Nash
VILE conductors obtained an injunc-
tion to restrain calling of a strike on
that road, asserting that the conductors
of the road voted against it, and that
a strike would be contrary to public
policy.

mately 5 per cent of brotherhood mem,

pected to Bloom Next Spring, Be-
ing Planted in Garfield Park.

proving public reservations in the Dis
trict whenever sufficient funds are

gineer officer in charge of public build
ings and grounds. has a force engaged

vided with a thirty-foet pool. with
fountain jet in the center approached

mental trees and shrubbery. One of
these pools will be near goth street.
and the other near 21st street. Both
parks viii be provided win service
walks for the benefit of pedestrians
desiring to make short cuts.
Similar improvements in Petworth.

nue. side and a flower bed will be placed

Men Promise to Work.

Railroad executives. although ex-
pressing the belief that the passage of
the eight-hour-day bill by the House
of Representatives and the prospect of
it's passage by the Senate tonight had
practically removed all danger of a
strike at present, announced many de-
sertions from the ranks of the brother
hoods in the middle west and asserted
they had sufficient men to operate
trains on most of the roads in the
event of a strike.
For several of the big middle western
roads. general managers claimed as
high as 25 per cent of the engineers
and conductors had given assurance
that they will remain at work, even
though the strike is put into effect
Railroad passenger traffic through
Chicago for the last two days has been
heavier than for many months. the
large increase being attributed to
anxiety of tourists to reach their home s
before next Monday, the time set for
the strike.

Garfield Park, in Southeast Washing
ton. one of the larger and more preten-
tious parks, also is undergoing i'm

NAL border about $50 feet in length

The border VIII be composed of well
known Towering plants. such as phlox
peonies, hollyhocks, artemsia. anemone
