PROPOSED STRIKE
MEANS TIE UP

A nationwide movement for
higher wages has been instituted
by the four large organizations of
of railway employees. The railways
called upon for this advance in
clude all those in this country and
some in Canada, operating alto
gether $50, 900 miles of line. Three
hundred thousand men are involv-
ed in the movement, and the in
crease amounts to about 25 per
cent in present wages and about
81 1-2 per cent in overtime pay over
that fixed by arbitration and would
add one hundred million dollars a
year to railway operating ex-
penses.
"It is a matter of common know
ledge that the railroads are pass
Jag through one of the hardest fl
nancial periods in their history"
says Vice President Scott, of the
S. P. Company. Something like
forty-two thousand miles of line, OF
approximately one-fith of the mile
age of all the railroads in the coun-
try, are even now being operated
under receivership. Officers of
the brotherhoods have been quot
ed as saying that unless the pres
ent demands are granted, a strike
rather than arbitration will be re-
sorted to. What effect this would
have on the commerce of the coun-
try it is not difficult to imagine
The United States is now entering
upon what has been predicted tc
be an unprecedented condition OF
prosperity, partly due to the up
torn conditions in Europe. Para
lysis of the railroads would be par
alysis of the country's commerce al
a most critical stage.

report conditions excellent for a

HIGHWAY DANGERS.
Remedies Suggested by the American
Highway Association.


Highway Association.
Safety on highways ought to receive
more attention, says recent bulletin
published by the American Highway
association.
Speed fiends and drunken drivers are
already attended to by laws, but there
are many very real dangers which re
ceive no attention. One of these is the
road intersection where thick shrub
berry or trees make it impossible for
the driver ON one street to see an ap-
preaching vehicle on the other until
the two are ready to collide. Slow
driving is of little avail in such places.
The only remedy is TO clear away the
obstruction to sight, a is required by
regulation In some places. Another
danger spot is the narrow road with
sharp curves where it is impossible to
see ahead on account of shrubs and
trees. Automobiles have considerable
trouble at times when they meet on
such curves, but the danger TO them
Is by no means. so great asst is so
the young man who is holding his best
girl in buggy and neglecting his
horse. Underbrush ought to be clear
ed away on the inner side of such
curves. mt least so that drivers can de-
tect another vehicle on the road ahead
before it Is nearer than seyenty-fivc
feet. This does not require the de-
struction of shrubbery or trees, but
merely enough thinning out of the
growth to enable carriage or motor
car to be seen. Still another danger
point is the junction of a road with
another at right angles, concealed by
an intervening rise or curve so that
the junction point is not seen until
just before the moment when the
driver on the joining road must turn
into tho main road. Such places arc
extre = dangerous, and signposts
should be erected to warn the traveller
of their proximity.

practically confined to two meals n
day, but in many parts the second or
evening meal was of such a protracted
character that laws were passed linn
iting its duration.
Thus at Berne there was a law
against persons sitting at table more
than five hours.
At Bale from 10 o'clock in the morn
ing to 6 O'Clock in the evening was
the maximum permitted. but the town
council was unable TO practice its own
