Strike Threatens
Complete Tieup of
Nations Railroads

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-A complete
tieup of the railroads of the country
is very probable in the opirion of ]
w. Hawver. president CT the Chicago
District Council of the Fe !eratei Rail.
way Shopmen's Union, which called g
strike of shop crafts Friday. He re.
turned from Washington today and
declared the strike is spreading rap
idly and has overwhelmed the inter.
national officers. Advices today from
Cleveland were that the Executivt
Board of the American Federation OF
Railway Workers, with membership
of $4,000, chiefly unskilled labor, in
Cleveland and the East, had decided
to strike tomorrow, according to
Hawver.
The maintenance way mems
union also is preparing to strike, il
was said, with more than 100000
shopmen OH strikY and the number
increasing, both President Hawver
and Secretary John D. Saunders de-
clared railroad sch 9dules and indus
try would be seriously crippled within
day or two. Already steel mills
and other industries at Gary and 9th
er Northern Indiana points and in
Chicago have begun to feel the effects
of the strike, and when the strike is
more complete factories and mills will
virtually be forced to close down.
Advices from Gary, Ind, today
stated that the United States Sttel
Corporation had banked eight of its
twelve blast furnaces as a result of
the strike, and about 10000 men were
made idle.
Movement Rapidly Spreading.
"This movement is spreading like
wildfre and we are not going to lay
down until we get our demands" said
President Hawver. 'It has not re-
ceived the Endorsement of our grand
lodge presidents, although they now
are getting ready for a strike August
oath.
"The seriousness of the situation
seems to be better understood in the
East than out here, although | did not
realize the extent of the shopmen's
strike until / had returned here and
seen the reports that had been re-
ceived.
"In Washington the Executive Com
mittee has been repudiatcd and the
entire grievance committee of seventy
eight members representing all rail
way workers has been negotiating with
the Railroad Administration. Director
General Hines, while stating that he is
favorable toward the workers, has
saidthat the only ways to meet our
demands are two--a congressional
appropriation or increased freight
rates.
"More and more it appears to be
that a complete tieup of the roads is
to be the outcome"

NEW YORK, Aug. Anew York
need not fear thirst. Announcement
that 112 saloons, clubs and other So
cial centers had decided to retain
their booze license for the month of
August brought cheer
There was little evidence of gloom
on Broadway today for those in the
know. And those not in the know
are usually acquainted with some one
else who is. So the assuaging of
thirst is not so very difficult here.

Broadway Sad
After Month
of Drought

-Bartenders, formerly helmsmen of
many a schooner, under the good
skipper Old Manhattan, are now look
ing for a snug harbor as result of
+, the demise of their friend, John Bar
LIE Corn, one month ago.
But the late mixers of merry muci-
lage declare the first of July and the
consequent advent of prohibition
brought them one relief, viz, they
no longer have to answer the ques-
tion which was propounded about
98, ,764,834 times: "Well, Joe Whatta
va gonna do after prohibition comes?"
The famous characters who won
national regulations for their skill in
concocting juleps and toddies are
now seeking other employment, and
they have become conspicuous by
their absence from the city's famous
thoroughfares, Broadway.
And Broadway misses the men to
whom it used to whisper its troubles.
The we'll known cafes and cabarets
are no longer patronized by the
crowds of sun-dodgers who once al
most lived in them. The owners pre-
dict that they will soon go into bank
ruptcy unless the ban on strong Ii
quors is lifted. They are fairly
whistling among tombstones in an eff
fort to maintain optimism, but this
is difficult amid surroundings of
empty tables.
As the Great Thirst approached,
the proprietors were shaken with
doubt. Some opinioned it might be
possible to serve capers and food at
a profit without the admixture of al
cohol, but they are now mostly con-
vinced that it is impossible.
Prominent restaurants say people
simply won't eat enough food to make
a floor show profitable. There is
distinct height to which prices can
go and there they must stop. Pa
irons were given sad awakening as
the prices began to jump immediate
ly after prohibition. These patrons
worried little about prices so long as
they could drive away dull care by
cocktail. But there is slight exhila-
ration to be found in ham sandwich,
plain.
The owners entertain vague hopes
that some miracle will occur to save
their fortunes. The Anti-Saloon
League may be declared unconstitu-
tional and the eighteenth amendment
repealed-perhaps.
Bon vivants intent upon eating
green corn would--if perfectly sober
resent the irruption of young per-
son dressed like a Kewpie and play
ing a violin. Ladies from our best
circles have in the past been known
to think it a good joke when the
young lady on the end tickled fat
husband on his second chin with her
toe. Under present conditions such
an incident would furnish topic for
fireside discussion for the rest of the
year.
Then there is the chance that the
cabaret proprietors might abandon
the theater business and entice Gus
tom by purveying very good food,
But that has not been the New York
way. The New York habit has been
to order a large plate of something
hot, washed down with something
cold, and followed by something cold
irrigated by something hot. Then
the dinner turns red and glows. Per-
feet service of perfect food may fol-
low the departure of the cabaret from
the better New York restaurants.

WITH NOTHING DONE, , LEGISLATURE IS JUST WHERE T STARTED OVER 4 MONTH AGO
Fourteen Legislatiev Days Consumed During Past Month With One Bill of General Importance
 Sent to Governor
By WILLIAM L. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, August 9, Special. )-Alabama's legisla- ture is just where it started on July 8-just one month ago so far as important legislation is concerned. During the month IA legislative days have been consumed, and only one bill of general importance has been placed on the desk of the chief executive.
 In the month there has been much wrangling over this and that" There have been speeches made where speeches were not necessary, and amendments of fered where the author knew he was in the minority, and that offering of it would only delay the disposition of other measures.
 In sixteen legislative days the two houses must do what neither has done during the past month. Much work. started the first of the session in July, is yet on the calendars, chief among them the revenue bill and the Walsh health measure.
 It is now believed an extra session of the legislature is inevitable, although Governor Kilby says mot"
 The revenue bill must yet take the course it took when introduced. The sen- ate will amend the bill, and then it will come back to the house, where the amendments must be either concurred in or killed. If they are concurred in there will be speeches delivered, and if they are killed speeches will be made So the speeches will be part of the house and senate programme, regardless of the disposition of the bill
 The two houses now are face to face with another bill, just as important and lengthy as the revenue bill This is the education bill, which asks for an addi-

'HULSEY TAXES UP
 IN THE AIR JOYR|DE
Age-Herald Ad Man Tells of Travelling Through
 the Clouds

W. N. Hulsey of The Age-Herald ad- vertising staff, was among those who saw Birmingham through the clouds with G. Mason Perry, pilot of the Victory Automotive company, who is here demon- for joy rides. The flights are being made from the fair grounds, a Curtiss JN-4 plane, D type, being used.
 The sensation was great" declared Mir. Hulsey. Our plane taxied off acnoss the fair grounds and was up in a Jirry-- leaving the earth to sink and slide away below us''
 That part of the experience was thrill- ing and interesting without bringing on the funny feeling below the abdomen that is akin to fear, Mir. Hulsey de- clared, but he added, when we did the first stunt I must admit I had a slight CD desire to be back on the hard, firm earth.
 But as we came out of the stunt I felt proud of myself and was half ashamed that had allowed my stomach to take on the feeling that it was visit ing and that only had small portion of back bone left.
 ''I never saw the sun up-side-down be- fore, nor Birmingham whirling around under me, but the longer we stayed up the more I enjoyed it. They say it is always the second trip that is enjoyed most because one calls for another. In fact, I am now a convert to the travel by-air plan.
 "One of the places we lowered near was the Elmwood cemetery, which looked beautiful fnom above. And just to prove that my heart was in the right place about the flight, I did not in the slightest way connect thoughts of the cemetery and the flight until we were down again.
 The street cars looked like toys and seemed not to be moving at all. One can see the whole of the valley from the air and it is not nearly so beautiful from anywhere else.
 "No one can say he has lived com plete life unless he has had hop and he will always-if he enjoyed it as much as I did-look back on it as most pleasant and thrilling experience"
