Hubert retired early and was tossing
and tumbling among the blankets,
when Al stole softly from the shack
and made his way to shed where the
engineers supplies and surveying i'm

MACH|N|STS TAKE
VOTE ON WALKOUT
Protest Strike Vote of Men
Taken in November.
FIGHT CUMMINS RAIL BILL
Workers Sanction Cessation OF Opera
tions if Anti-strike Law Is Passed
by Congress-Appeal to the
President Is Planned.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Ninety-eight
per cent of the $4,000 union railway
machinists voted in November to
strike with other trades In the event
congress enacted the Cummlns rail-
road bill with it's antistrike proV1s-
ion.
In making this announcement Will
liam FL. Johnston, president of the In
ternational Association of MachlnlstS'
said the vote was taken before the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee reported out the Cummlns meas
ure, and the result was not otflclally
published because it's association dld
not want to appear in the attltude Oh
attempting to threaten congress.
About 100000 in Union.
The machinists' membership Is
around 100000, but not more than TO-
900 of this number are employed on
railroads.
President Johnston explained that
the strike vote stipulated that union
railway machinists would quit WORK
if the Cummins bill was passed Dy
both branches of congress, not by one.
"When the roads were taken over oy
the government the employees were
Free" Mr.. Johnston said, "and we pro-
pose that if they are turned back to
private ownership, the employees snail
be equally free There is no necessity
for such drastic legislation as is pro-
vided for in the Cummins bill. There
never has been general railroad
strike and there never will be, in my
opinion"
So far as labor officials are advised
they will not be given another hear
ing by senate or house committees,
but they will keep up the fight against
the antistrike section, it was said, and
appeal finally to President Wilson to
veto the bill if it should be enacted
with that clause intact.
President Johnston said that no
other trades that would be affected
by the antistrike section of the bill and
taken vote, so far as he had been
advised.
Union Chiefs Confer.
The whole question of railroad leg
islation will be discussed here at a
conference of the heads of the IA rail-
road brotherhoods, called by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
1t was explained at federation head
quarters that the Cummins bill and
other pending legislation would be
considered exclusively, without regard
to other big questions in which rail-
road employees are vitality interested.
The brotherhood, it was said prob
ably would unite in a general protest
against the Cummins antistrike pro-
vision, to be sent to every member of
congress.

ly written sheets of paper. one OF
which started out with "Dear JEAN"
That's enough" he said, as he blew
out the light and left the shed. I'm
not reading my pals love letters. It's
a bad blunder, but my forgetfulness
has saved the situation. It would have
been a scream if the editor of Forest
Trail had received this manuscript.
And I wonder how Jean liked the poem"
He walked back toward the shack.
"I'll give it to Hub in the morning"
he thought, but after he had gone to
bed he got to turning it over in his
mind, with the result that early the
next day he hiked to Sheffield. Enter
ing the railroad station, which also
served as telegraph office, he busted
himself with a yellow blank. After
spelling two blanks, he handed one to
the operator.
The message he had written was adj
dressed to Jean Pembroke, at certain
address in st. Paul, and it said
evil you marry me in May? Must
know before the new year starts. Don't
answer if you refuse. Hubert"
"I'm a meddler as well as forger,"
thought AL as he retraced his, steps
toward camp after loading up with to-
bacco.
Shortly after the engineers had fin.
ished supper a knock sounded on the
door and when Hubert opened it man
f1ourished a telegram in his face. HUI
bert signed for it, opened it and read
while AL got very busy with the T.
squares and the compass and the TRAN
giles.
Not a word was said about the tele-
gram during the entire evening. Both
men busted themselves with their
drafting for an hour or two, then got
out books and read, waiting for the
new year to dawn.
The only timepiece in the shack was
an alarm clock, and this had been set
to ring out the old year.
Shortly before the hour approached,
Hubert seated himself at his desk and
became active with writing materials.
AL kept one of his eyes on his book
and chuckled softly, while the other
surreptitiously watched Hubert!
Presently the clock tangled the mid
night hour.
Happy New Year, Hub" called Al.
"How are you starting it?'
Hubert continued scratching with the
pen.
'None of your COMPOUNDED business !"
he growled, without looking up.
Al laughed aloud.
'Tll hand you that five tomorrow"
announced Hubert, as he started on
the eleventh page.
"Never again." mimicked AL.

upon the coming Halloween's eve!"
There were also curious dramas
which groups of masquers performed.
They were generally given in the
kitchens Of the 'great house." but
often the family as well as the serv-
ants were present. Sir Walter Scott
insisted on having a New Years play
in his home every year.
Seeing the Old Year Out.
In some cities of this country it
used to be the custom to fire off can
non and muskets. The ringing of bells
is result of the religious side Of New
Years. After the midnight services
were started the ringing of the church
bells followed as a natural sequence
and was intended to remind absent
members of the congregation that the
year was passing.
Many superstitions are connected
with New Years day in all lands. In
Hartfordshire, England, the peasants
believed that if a woman was the first
person to enter the house on the first
day of the year the whole twelve
months would be unlucky. 1t was sup
posed to be unlucky TO meet lame or
blind man, a monkey, weasel or a
cat
Odd Christening Custom.
In the north of England, if a child
was cnristened on New Years day a
little boy was engaged to meet the
baby as it was taken from it's home, so
as to avoid the possibility Of meeting
a woman first. The boy received a
cake and cheese wrapped in paper, for
his services.
And so when you hear the bells ring
out this year, whether you hear them
from your bed, a pew in some church,
an easy chair by a smoldering fire or
a chair at a restaurant table, don't
think that what you are doing is any
thing new. You are watching a year
die and hoping or praying for the year
which is just born.
And back through the ages, through
a thousand generations men and wom-
en- have done the same and left some
trace of themselves in some half-for-
gotten custom as you may do, quite
unconsciously, when 1920 makes it's
bow TO the world
