Preparations Being Made
For Arrival Strikebreakers
Caution Against Disorders

Inc striking shopcrafts held
meeting at American Legion hall
FRIDAY evening, and discussed the
situation developing from the expect-
ed invasion of strike breakers in
town. The men were cautioned
against any disorder and were in
structed as to the methods thew are
10 follow in case strike breakers are
imported. Up to a late hour Friday
evening the presence OF strike break
ers had not been discovered, although
preparations of cars showed that
sleeping quarters and a place to dis
tribute rations are being provided
Tor somebody. The local strikers be-
lleve that the strike is on the verge
OF being won. 1t is pointed out that
the men and the brotherhoods will
refuse to do any work which union
men would have done had there been
no strike, and by the same token
they will refuse to move trains made
up OF locomotives or cars on which
"scab" repair work has been done.
This attitude of the brotherhoods
and of the other union organizations
not yet involved in the strike cannot
but bring about a situation which
must in time bring either the rail.
road board or the railroads to some
agreement.
Local men express dissatisfaction
at much that is being printed rela-
tive to mail trains. They declare
that mail trains are almost inva ria bly,
through trains, which the railroads
would be the last to sacrifice were it
not for propaganda purposes. There
are many trains with which the rail-
roads would be glad to dispense a
greater part of the year. as they are
"boarders." which take up a lot of
expense and eat up the profits made
by other trains. but are run as con-
venience to the public. These trains
should be the first to be dropped off.
but as all parties to the strike are
making a bid for public favor the
railroads, 1t Is charged, desire the
advantage which they will receive
when the news goes broadcast that
so many mail trains have been can
celled There Is nothing that the
strikers can do in this regard except
to grin and bear IT," but II is a bit
Of clever propaganda they claim
against which they are powerless to
cope.

Treasure Given to Young Benefaetor
by Penniless Refugee

The tale of the man who befriend-
ed the poor beggar and became his
opulent heir is something like the ex-
perience of Charles d. Morris of OLE
an, \. y, writer, associated with the
Near East relief organization.
Morris was for many months in
charge of publicity for the American
Red Cross in Paris.
When that organization dissolved
its headquarters here he went to Con-
stantinople to carry on the same
work for the Near East relief. In
this capacity he recently toured the
famine areas of Armenia and south
Russia.
At Batoum he was singled out by
a group of famine refugees who
begged aid He little dreamed that
among the ragged unfortunates was
former governor Of the province of
Kazan. South Russia. He gave the
group 500 from his own pocket.
Translated into rubles. one hundred
American dollars is great wealth.
The refugees insisted on giving the
young American an old Persian
shawl. which he did not want, but
accepted to please them. Morris and
his shawl eventually arrived in Con
stantinople.
Here the shawl was seen by Il num-
Der of Persians, who recognized it i'm
mediately and reverently recounted
it's history.
The American found that he pos
scssed a rare piece of Persian tapes
try which had graced the walls of
the royal house of Persia in the 18th
century.
A Persian prince presented it to an
Armenian noble 100 years ago. and
this noble later became the governor
of kaZan

Capturing Gorillas Lively Job for Zoo

says:
Various schemes have been put
forward for capturing full-grown
ones, but they have either been re-
iccted or tried and failed. 1t is i'm
possible by any means that we know
of at present to capture a gorilla.
Any trap strong enough to hold them
would be detected and Stunned by
them To attempt to trap them
with anything less strong would he

devices would be almost certain to

have been taken after the mothers
have been shot.
