Unions Not Averse to Modifica-
lions of r.. r.. Agreements.
Executives Must Show They'll
Not Be Unjust.
BIG WAGE. SLASH DENIED
Employers Ask Cut Only for
UnskilIed Workers.
Precedent in LabOr-Capital
War Expected Monday.

Chicago, Feb. 12-Modification of
the national working agreements and
reduction in wages will not be op-
posed by railroad unions If railroad
owners can show that modification
will not be unjust and unreasonable to
employees, according to rail union lead
ers here today.
Hallway workers seek no special
privilege" said B. NJ. Jewell. president
of the Railroad Shopmen-s union.
ana they should not be expected to ac-
cept less. Thru their organization
they are ready at all times TO make
changes in wages, rules and working
conditions when such changes are
found to be reasonable"
Deny Prospective Slash.
Jewen was scheduled to appear be-
fore the board today to state when the
unions would be prepared to present
evidence in support of continuation OF
national agreements which the rafi-
roads ask be abrogated.
Railroad executives today made
public denial that they plan to SASH
wages of all employees. Their present
plans, it was stated, are in reference
to wages of unskilled railroad labor
ers only.
Railroad owners will meet here next
week Friday to plan methods for
bringing the question of wage reduc-
ton for unskilled labor before the
board
VIII Mark Precedent.
Great Importance is attached to the
coming decision by railroad owners
and employees. 1t will mark the estab-
lishment of a precedent by the board
and the laying down of a possible
policy as to future action on other re-
quests for wage reductions. 1t will
also have tremendous influence on
other industries which are contem-
plating wage reductions.
Should the board rule in favor of
the railroads a general cut in wages
of all railroad employees and in many
other lines is expected. A decision
favorable to labor VIII mean a stiffen-
ing of labor's opposition to any pro-
posed cut.
The rail unions have already won a
significant victory by the decision of
the board Thursday in refusing to
grant the railroad woners' request for
immediate abrogation of national
working agreements and a cut in
wages of unskilled railroad laborers.

FIND BIG SEA MONSTER
Big Resident of Deep Gulf Waters
Came to Surface to Die.

Miami. Fla, Feb. 12.-Scientists
and deep water fishermen here are
puzzled over the finding of huge
sea monster off Soldiers Key, few
miles south of Miami, which they are
unable to name. The body of the
creature was found three weeks ago
by Elmer E. Garretson of Huntington.
L. l., New York, who to-day towed
part of the skull to Miami. This frag-
ment is fifteen feet long and seven
feet wide, and weighs three tons.
Mr.. Garretson said he did not know
how long the monster was but he saw
as much as eighty feet of it. Sharks
were devouring the flesh when he first
found it. Mr.. Garretson asserted the
creature evidently came up out of the
deep waters of the gulf stream to die
and this accounted for its presence
in comparatively shallow water.
About six feet of the skull protrud-
ed from the water. Mr.. Garretson
will head a party which will try to
bring the remaining portions ashore.

In the past two years we have been
able to double our membership and
are now striving to double it again.
We have five different denominations
represented in our present member

THIS GENT TELLS THE
VERY LAST THING
IN SNAKE STORIES

Now comes a bona fide subscriber
who tells this one about a snake in
his hen house and swears to it.
A big black snake was in the place
swallowing eggs by the wholesale.
After indulging in a goodly number
he quietly curled himself twice thru
the handle of an old jug, tying HIM
self in a nice knot there. While in
this reclining position his eyes caught
one fine looking egg that he had evil
IDENTIFY missed-and there was no use
missngi anything so good as Q fresh
laid egg, so he proceeded 10 swallow
it-whole.
Now this same subscriber hearing
the cackling Of his hens was attracted
that way and found the snake a cap
tive. He had swallowed a white door,
knob that had been used as a nest
egg, holding him fast in the handle
of the jug.

When the Glasgow nine took on q
well known pitcher named Shackle-
ford they started something. Shack"
has a dark emery ball" that batters
cannot touch and with which he has
annexed every game he has pitched
this season.
Last Sunday Glasgow was sched-
uled to connect with jefferson City
and every one made big preparations
for the game. The Jefferson City
boys, after making sure of their line
up sent word to the Glasgow pitcher
to bring his emery BALI and all his
wares" and come on over and they'd
cover any coin he had up to $4,000.
Not to be daunted the Glasgow boys
hit Jeff City with everything asked
for and the Capital City boys pro-
ceeded to cover, the coin.
The game was v in doubt K
cept in the ninth frame, when "Shack"
walked two men, but Gained down to
such an extent that he put over y
straight strikes and ended the contest
20 in favor of Glasgow, whereupon
the visitors rolled home with some
1000 extra samolians
Yesterday the JEFF City boys with
some imported diamond talent and a
large quantity of the com of the realm
invaded the Glasgow country for a re-
turn debate but atlas, Shack" took the
game again, 10 after striking out

was made by Glasgow in the ninth
frame after an eight inning deadlock.

ing in sack-cloth and ashes and look
