7,OOO CARMEN ARE
 READY TO STRIKE
|Employes of Boston Elevated
 Mill Quit Tomorrow

Boston, July 16.-A strike of the 1000 men of the Boston Elevated Railway Co. appeared imminent today. The union continued it's plans for making effective it's strike order at Q. m. tomorrow with a resultant par alEsiS of the street, subway and ele Vated car service of the city and some of the suburbs. Efforts to avert the tle-up were also continuing during the day but with little promise of success. An appeal to the war labor board to hasten it's decision on demands of the men for an eight hour day and a wage of 73 1-2 cents an hour met with reply from W. J. Lauck, secretary of the board that the boards decision would be rendered in due time. In a telegram from Washington to James H. Vahey, counsel for the union, Sec retary Lauclz said the union should re- scind the strike vote and remain at work. The board, he said, had work ed ceaseleSSly for a month and in view of the issues involved he held the EAne spent in consideration to be not unreasonable.
 Difficulty in obtaining early action by the board lies, according to word from Charlton Ogburn, it's chief eX- aminer, in the fact that it's joint chairmen are at widely separated points. Former President Taft, at Pointe au Pic, Que, and Basil M. Manly at San Diego, Cal, the chair men, are in possession of the evidence 1t is understood and a meeting in Chi cago to discuss it has been arranged for a later date this month. The is sues are considered important accord TYO- fN +1ao ;+ is said, the eight hour schedule is not in effect on any large street railway system in the country and in no case does a wage approximating 1912 cepts an hour obtain.
 . The present maximum is AS cents.
 Officials of the International Street Garments union have taken hand in Ihe local situation and by telegrams to Secretary of Labor Wilson have en- deavored to expedite action by the war labor board.

THE KING SAVES A LIFE.

Tinker Bob vas walking through
the great forest looking after the
needs of the jewellers. Sometimes they
needed help Sometimes they needed
The Kings duty was to teach
them Ito be true to each other-to
convince them that if they would be
careful to treat their neighbors> well,
many of their troubles would end.
While passing near the home Of
Major Pole Cat. Tinker Bob noticed
some broken twigs and freshly dis
turbed earth. This he thought very
strange, as the Major was not given
to doing such things himself, and
usually at this hour in the day he was
asleep. Tinker walked close to the en-
of his home, which was at the
foot Of a hollow tree.
Someone has been trying to harm
Major Pole Cat" said he to himself.
II see!" he continued, looking closer.
1.-The hunter has been in the Great
Forest today"
Just then. he heard ome noises
from within Major Pole Cats home
which indicated that he was awake
and was preparing to come out. In a
moment the Majors nose was seen in
the doorway.
Don't you darc to come out or you
will be killed." warned Tinker Bob.
Major Pole Cat was greatly sur
prised to think hat the King would
talk in such a way to him. He could
think of nothing that should cause
such words. but he thought it wise to
heed them. nevertheless. So he re-
manned inside his house.
Jerry the Jay heard what was said
and hurried away to tell it from THE
tree tops to all the forest jewellers. In
a very short time there was quite a
gathering, Chief Porky came hurryine
to see what could be the trouble. Jack
the Rabbit and Opossum were Eoins
to venture into Major Pole Cats front
door. but Tinker Bob told them also
that if they tried to enter they woulc
be killed. 1t began to look dangerous
Don't o see." said Tinker. "tht
hunter has been here"
They did not understand what HI
meant. Then he pulled from thu
Majors doorstep a large steel tral
with pointed jaws, and took a sticl
and tripped it off.
Now you can come out withou
danger,", he told the Major. You see
