WALK OUT JANUARY 1ST.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 11.-Whether
thesupreme court upholds the Adam
son law or, in response to the suits
filed by four railroads, knocks out the
law is immaterial to the railroad en-
ployees, who, according to a statement
given out today by President G. W.
Lee Of the Brotherhood Of Railway
Trainmen, will strike January i on all
roads at that time fail to. put into ef-
feet the eight-hour day.
An Ready to Strike.
-Four hundred thousand railroad men
are ready to strike January / unless
the railroads put into, effect the eight
hour day, law or noFlaw. es ~
"Any- railroad which attempts to
cancel the present schedule Of hours
and pay, or refuses to put the eight
hour law into effect, will find itself
with strike on it's hands," Mr.. Lee
said today. 8
1.-THE power given US last spring
when the employees voted to strike
unless the railroads granted our de-
mands is just as good now as it was
then, and will be called into play il
necessary.
Sure of Presidents Aid.
"What the supreme court does with
the law is no concern Of ours. We
have demanded fair working hours and
we are going to get them.
However, we have no fear that the
Adamson law5will be declared uncon-
stitutional. We were advised in the
first place that it would stand the leg
al test. j
"We have President Wilson with US
and he will see to il that the law is
made air tight.

The huge revolving light which has
been placed at the lighthouse on the
Island of Heligoland, in the North sea,
is perhaps the most powerful flash
light in the world. 1t is equal to 40
100000 candlepower, and in calm
weather can be seen for a distance of
80 miles. The tower in which the
light is stationed is 272 feet above the
sea level. 1t costs $4,000 a year to
maintain the light.
Shears for trimming grass, mount

According to the naval critic, Hector
c. Bywater, so far as building ways
and construction plans are concerned,
there is no reason why Germany could
not have Is battleships or battle
cruisers under construction at n
time. Though he admits that this fig
u:e may be astonishing, he shows that
an examination of the various yards,
governmental and private, in Germany,
justifies the estimate. In fact, he says
that, simultaneously, a program includ-
ing light cruisers, destroyers and sub
marines, could be put through, since
there are many German yards which,
although they cannot build capital
ships, are well equipped to produce
the lighter craft. He estimates the
total working force in all these yards
at 100, 900 men.
Far off the coast of Maine is a
