Tourists Held UP
on Phantom Road

A patry Of tourists merrily rolled
up the Phantom canon road in their
big gas wagon and an wss well in the
world when all at once the driver
-saw snakes" W6 fear he forgot
the scenery and stopped the car. He
was a little doubtful whether he really
saw the two big rattlesnakes or
whsther they were only snakes that
are formed by ~snll-- He was so
frightened at the thoughts OF this
great satastropby than he got the
party out OF the car and watched the
big snakes crawl toward them.
Soon the snakes made a comfort
able home under the car where they
stretched ont in the shade. They soon
began making love to each other and
talking to each other in their mister
ious rattle language. and whenever
the doubtful tourist started 10 near
the car they talked little louder al:
to how they loved eac hother or may
be how they loved the tourists.
The tourists who vera little afraid
OF the snakes and wishing that they
had some -snake bite" remedy with
them. sat alongside the road and
watched the snakes as they lay at
peace under the car.
Soon the hero of the day came along
in the form Of the driver of the Jones
Freight Service truck and he thought
that the case OF the tourists was really
serious until he also saw the snakes
and laughing went to the car and with
. little coaxing with stick had the
rattlers laid low to his command and
the tourists were able TO 30 on their
way.
The rattlers were very large ONES
and had IL and 10 ratfies respectively
and we're the largest that have been
sen IN this vicinity in several years
The warning that 10 put out to tour
lists il that Whenever you - snakes
IN the road and you are in doubt you
had better drive few feet mp the
road before you stop to see II you are
only -seeing SNAKE" or whether they
are real ones.

WASHINGTON. July 30--The key

dates consciousness OF his responsi-
bility. declares the Republican Pub
licity Association, through its presi-
dent. Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr, in
the following statement:
-1f Senator Hardine's speech Of ar-
ceptance had been the ufterance OF ,
president instead of candidate for

its lucid discussion OF the great prin-
ciples upon which this government is
founded. of the dangers that now be-
set II, and of the precautions that
must be taken If disaster is to be
avoided, Senator Harding's address is
on plane with the farewell address
OF President Washington, indeed. in
its profound treatment of the COM
plexifies of American government it
bears marked resemblance to that
famous document
'In discussing in turn the problems
that he will be called upon to solve

adheres to that close attention 10 fun
damenfals that have characterized his

through the mass of unessential de-
tails that in others might becioud the
issues OF the hour. and emphasizes
only those points that contain eie-
ments of danger 10 the basic struc-
ture Of our government. 1t becomes
apparent to the reader Of the address
that should its author become the ma
tion'e chief executive his every act
would be performed with view TO
preserving and Strengthening the in

ton. which brought the country TO the
pinuscle Of wealth and prosperity in

GIGANTIC LAYOFF.
Pennsylvania System Drops IL,
900 Employees as Wage Award
Is Announced.

Following a meeting of general staff
officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
System, held in Philadelphia, Monday,
July 1o, announcement was made that
1900 clerks, shopmen and maintenance
of way employees would be dismissed
from the service in the eastern region
of that company. The district affected
is bounded by Altoona, Lake Ontario,
Washington and Atlantic Ocean. In
Philadelphia alone between 1000 and
5000 workers were to be dropped un-
der the order agreed upon at the con-
ference. No reduction in the force of
engineers, hremen, oraKemen, con-
ductors, gatemen, dispatchers, porters,
or ticket handlers was contemplated,
according to the information made pub
1ic
Officials of the company said that the
discharge of this large number of men
was necessary Gin order to reduce ex-
penses," that the action had been under
consideration for some time and was in
no way connected with the wage sched-
ule, then being arbitrated in Chicago.
1t was intimated that similar order
will soon be announced by the Phi1a-
de1phia & Reading.
New York Central officials denied
that any reduction of working forces
was being contemplated by that system.
A dispatch from Topeka, Kan, states
that 1000 men employed in the Santa
Fe shops there had been put on g
hour day basis to increase the output
of locomotives and cars for handling
the grain crops of the West. ,

4 PLAYERS TO STRIKE.
Vaudevillians Plan Layoff to Get
a Square Deal This Fall.

Reports emanating from New York
are to the effect that the vaudeville
branch of the theatrical world will go
on strike on or before October l. The
players will demand a CLOSED shop"
the elimination of 10 per cent agents,
two shows day in place of three or
four, and two shifts a day when there
are more than two shows. The vaude-
vile branch of the Actors and Artists
Association of America has been stead
lily growing in numbers and strength
for some time, and it is thought that
the organization is now strong enough
to make demands of the men who con-
troll this branch of the amusement
world
1t is said that the Actors Equity
Association, another branch of the
Four AS, will not unite in the strike,
and it is predetermined whether the
musicians and stage hands unions will
join or not. Harry Mountford, for
-mer head of the White Rats of Amer
lea, is said to be the man who will con-
duct the proposed strike
E. F. Albee and others at the head
of vaudeville in America have been try
ing to head off any trouble by making
many concessions in the past few
months, and some of the wise ones,
on the side of the managers, profess
to see settlement of difficulties with

PLAIN ROBBERS.
How Clothing Dealers Gou ged
Consumers Makes Interesting
Tale.

The Houston Labor Journal would
like to know how the wholesale dealers
in clothing are going to square their
statements, made week or two ago
with the facts recently developed
The wholesalers announced that there
would be an advance in the cost of
clothing this fall of fully IS per cent,
which they claimed would be rendered
absolutely necessary through the in
ability of clothing manufacturers to
meet the demands of the trade, because
of nder-production caused by the in
ability of those manufacturers to get
IAN honest days work" out of their
employees.
However, just a few days after the
statement was made, the wooden mill
instead of trying ito get an honest
days labor" out of their men, they
would get no kind of days labor at all
and closed their DOORS thus throwing
out of employment thousands of work
men.
Now, the truth is that both the mill
owners and the wholesale merchants
have been Overlapping their hands, .
and in that they have received valu-
able assistance from the retail mer-
chants all over the country
But the public revo1ted, refused to
pay excessive prices for clothing, or
cut down their purchases to the lowest
limit Then the endless chain" began
working backwards. The retailers,
fearing to be caught with their shelves
filled with high-priced goods, for which
they might find no sale, began to pur-
chase sparingly and passed the buck"
to the wholesalers, who passed it to
the manufacturers, Cancelled their ord
ers altogether or reduced them mater
tally.
The manufacturers, in turn, became
alarmed and closed their doors, thus
cutting off production altogether, de-
termining to meet further demands
made on them from the large surplus
stocks of manufactured goods that
filled their warehouses;
That this explanation is true, is
shown by an investigation made last
week, of conditions prevailing in the
New England wooden mills, when it
was found that instead of under-pro-
duction there has been excessive over
production that the warehouses of all
the mills are piled mountain high"
with manufactured goods.
The mills have simply followed in
the footsteps of the retailers and
wholesalers, who feared to go further
in their robbery of the public, and have
decided to get rid of their large sur
plus before going further
What makes the robbery of the pub
lie by the mills all the more outrage
GUS is the fact that the price of wool
has declined about one-half under last
years price.
