camera man, secretary, and two
cooks make up the remainder of the
personnel.
In anticipation of the hot weather
ahead the Speejacks has ventilation
system which makes it possible to OBJ.
tain fresh air in any part Of the vessel
every six minutes. There is a hot
water heating system should the
weather turn cold. But that is improb.
able, because the route of the vessel
will keep it within 20 degrees Of the
Equator at all times. Every part of
the yacht can be reached by tele-
phone. 1t is electrically lighted and
furnished in keeping with its general
tone.
The Speejacks owner laid out his
route with the idea of getting away
from all the usual yachting cruises
and breathing breath of real adven-
ture. That he has succeeded probably
will be we'll established before his voy-
age grows old. He plans to make
many landings in out-of-the-way places
and there is likely to be some
lively times for all. The Spec
jacks has two motor dories and a
dinghy for landing, and the machine
guns will not be forgotten among the
strange lands which the party is to
visit
The work Of preparing for the voy-
age covered several months. The task
of obtaining passports for all of the
ships company in the many lands they
will visit was several weeks work.
The boats odd name was bestowed
on the owner at Harvard, from which
he was graduated in 1907.
Mrs. Gowen comes from Texas and
admitted that this was her first sea
trip. little matter Of $4,000 miles on
9S-foot boat. Asked how she expect
ed to keep busy on her long voyage,
Mrs. Gowen said that she planned to
do lot of reading. She had been
studying about the countries ahead of
her, and helped TO collect the ships
library, consisting mostly of travel
books.
And Mr.. GOwen wants me to write
the whole story" she added.

Law the Speejacks keel. Another
year was spent in the work, whlch
Mr.. Gowen personally superintended
| for the, most part. His craft cost
close TO a quarter of million dollars,
and to boatman she is the prettiest
thing that ever tripped the waves.
/ The Speejacks Is 90 feet long, lOO
tons, II feet wide and draws six feet.
Everything below the water line Is
made Of bronze, and all Of the upper
works are teakwood, especially i'm
ported from India, at a cost Of about
five times that of mahogany. Even
| the decks are teakwood. Inside, the
'Speejacks is finished in natural waxed
mahogany, and for completeness and
elegance she is without rival. Her
driving power comes from two 25O-
horsepower engines, operated either
by gasoline or kerosene, capable of IL
knots an hour, with cruising radius
OF 5000 miles.
The Speejacks carries $500 gallons
of gasoline and 1000 gallons of water.
AS this last woud be only three weeks
supply for the party aboard, condenS-
ers were installed to obtain fresh
water from salt These will pro-
duce six gallons an hour. A refriger-
ating machine will turn the distilled
water into ice as needed.
The Speejacks carries 10000 feet of
moving picture film, and 100000 feet
additional will be picked up en- route.
There are two cameras aboard and an
expert photographer, who will take a
complete film history of the whole trip.
The Speejacks' radio has a trans
mission range of 1000 miles, and will
receive messages from any distance.
She carries wireless telephone out
fit with a radius of COO miles. The
Speejacks has four of the latest type
machine guns, firing up to 1000 shots
minute, and an arsenal of small
arms. Mr.. Gowen plans to go in
land in the Straits Settlement, Siam.
southern China and West Africa after
game.
Aside from being a jaunt around the
world. the voyage Of the SpeejackS has
historical and scientific phase. Mr.
Gowen has collected no less than $40
charts for his trip, and he expects to
bring back some notable improvements
in maps, particularly those of the
South Sea islands, which still remain
uneXplored to great degree. As a
representative Of the National Geo
graphic society and the Field museum,
Chicago, he will endeavor to obtain
new information on wild life as he
finds it,

Rail Presidents Go Further And Say
Walkout Is Against The
United States

Chicago. of the leading
middle western railroads, in pointed
statement, turned down as 'impossi-
ble' the proposal of the railroad labor
board public group: that freight rates
be reduced Immediately as a possible
means of averting a general rail
strike and charged that the proposed
walkout would be strike against
the government, called by the unions
primarily for the purpose of multiplying
the transportation act creating the Ia
Dor board"
The statement is signed in behalf
of the Association of Railroads Enter.
ing Chicago, by Samuel FELTON,, pres
ident of the Chicago Great Western.
By coincidence, the statement, which
reviews the railroad situation and the
causes of the strike, was issued at al
most the same moment, Warren S.
ftone, president of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, was giving
out a statement in Cleveland telling
why the Big Four Brotherhoods and
the Switchmen's Union of North Amer
lea had authorized a walkout on Octo-
Der 30.
The statement, in part, follows:
"The thing it is proposed to strike
against is the decision Of the railroad
labor board authorizing the reduction
of IL per cent in wages which the rail-
ways put into effect on July l, 1921.
There is at present no other possible
ground for strike by the railway Ia
Dor brotherhoods.
1.-THE wage reduction which went
into effect July l was authorized by
the railroad labor board. Therefore,
the strike, If 1t occurs, will be against
a decision made by government body
acting in accordance with a federal
law.
while the railways complied with
the decision in 1920 for an advance
in wages, the labor brotherhoods now
propose to defy the law and strike
rather than accept much smaller re-
duction in wages.
"The railway executives decided to
ask the railroad labor board for fur
ther reduction in wages and to give
the public in the form Of reductions
in rate all the benefits Of any further
reduction in wages granted. This, how
ever, afforded the brotherhoods no rea-
son for ordering a strike. The strike
was taken on the question of accepting
the wage reduction already authorized
by the labor hoard, not on the question
of future reduction"

ago the ebb tide carried 9S-foot mo-
tor yacht through Ambrose channel on
a trip around the world and markea
the beginning of dream to come true
for at least one man. His craft is the
FIRST of its kind }and size to undertake
such a voyage, which is expected to
last a year and u half. 1t carried the
dag of the Adventures club, writes
James 9. Young in the New York
Times.
The sailing of the Speejacks, as this
modern argoSy is named, was the first
step in realization of castle built in
the air two years ago by Albert Y.
Gowen, Jr., of Cleveland, yachtsman
and big business man, who has been
yisualizing soft southern skies and the
t1eel' of the swelling tide between
deals in the workaday world. Mrs.
Gowen Joined in the dream, and now
she is aboard the SpeejackS as the
yacht travels southward, the only
woman who ever started on $4,000
mile trip in a craft not much larger
than many motorboats.
But the Speejacks is miniature
ocean liner, said to be the most com
pletely equipped vessel of its sort
which has come Off the ways.
After stopping at Norfolk and Kings
ton, Jamaica, the Speejacks will cut
through the Panama canal and start
across the Pacific for the Marquesas
islands, a distance Of 1929 miles,
which alone represents record at
Tempt for boat OF this kind. From
there the route lies via Tahiti, Society
Islands, thence to Samoa, Fiji, the New
HebrideS and New Caledonia. Mr..
Gowen plans to cruise through the
South Sea islands, many of which are
practically unknown and Isolated from
anything called by the name Of civ
ilization.
The party plans to spend Christmas
in Sydney, Australia, then on to Java,
BOrneo and Manila. From there they

jacks will visit Turkey, Greece, France
and Spain, before turning her nose

long trip across the Atlantic, reaching
home again about April, 1923.
Two years ago Mr.. Gowen decided
that he needed a vacation. He had
built four yachts, and set about plan

which nobody ever had attempted. He
