AssgNr-mlNDED ALICE.

Alice was very absent minded.
she did everything 10 make herself re-
member things instead of forgetting
them, but nothing seemed to help her.
She tied a string around her finger
and knot fin her handkerchief, and
then she wondered why she had put
the string around her finger and the
knot in her handkerchief.
But even more than forgetting
things she would forget even herself
at times when she should have been
thinking of herself and what she was
doing
And because many times she had
done this she was known as Absent,
Minded Alice.
Alice was never Intentionally rade.
She was never anything Of the sort.
She liked people and she wanted
them to like her. Yet often she would
forget to speak to people whom sh>
had met before.
And her Observation-Disclosures had be-
come habit. She @hated that little
invisible creature called Habit. Hab-
1t had such strong clutches and was
so powerful and made such Roadway

Other Organized Workers VIII Join In
Strike-6roups To Quit Work At
Twenty-Four Hour Intervals

Chicago.-More than half million
American railroad men have been
ordered to initiate a strike October
80, while other unions whose member
ship brings total to about two million,
announced unofficially that they were
preparing to follow suit and make the
walkout general on the same dates.
Under this program the tie-up would
be complete, according to union pre-
dicti0ns, by November 2.
The hour Is fixed for a. M, Oct.
ober So except for one Texas line,
whose trainmen were authorized to go
out October %.
The railroads listed in the first
group on which the strike is to be-
come effective, touch forty-two of the
forty-eight states with trackage OF
$4,000 miles out of the total United
States trackage of approximately 2OO,-
600.
The New England states comprise
the group that is virtually untouched
in the first walkout.
The strike orders were issued to the
big five brothefhoods, Oldest and most
powerful of the railway unions, and
they specifically included mail trains
in the walkout. Their provisions in
structed strikers to keep away from
railroad property with warning that
violence of any nature will not be toll
Grated by the organizations"
The strike was announced follow
ing an Overwhelming vote, said to be
upwards of 80 per cent favoring
strike because of a II per cent wage
reduction authorized by the United
States railroad labor board of July /,
and after it was declared by the Asso.
citation OF Railway Executives in ses.
sion here recently that a further re-
duction would be sought by the rail-
roads. 1t was said that the strike
decision was made before the an
nouncement OF this further cut. Print
ed instructions as to conduct of the
strike, issued in Chicago, were dated
recently. October IA.

serious strikes in American transport
tation history said w. G.. Lee, pres
ident of the railroad trainmen, who
during recent weeks has sent circu-
lars to his men warning them of the
critical nature of the steps they con-
tpmplated.
Chicago.-T. C. Cashen, president of
the switchmen's organization recently,
said that the Detroit, Toledo and IRON
ton railroad, owned by Henry Ford,
would be the only. one not affected by
a strike. He said that Mr.. Ford's
treatment had made it unnecessary
to organize men ON that road. and that
they consequently were not affected
by the strike order.
Mr.. Cashen said that general head
quarters for the strike would be in
Cleveland. Headquarters of the
Switchmen's Union of North America
will be moved there from Buffalo. and
the Order of Railway Conductors will
transfer its headquarters from Cedar
