Unions Plan A Huge War Fund Drive
Leaders Preparing to Is- sue Nationwide Ap- peal for War Chest SineWS Conductors Sound Warnings of Possibility of Acci- dents from Defective Rolling Stock.

Washington, Aug. 5-(INS) -Organized labor, mobilizing for what easily may be it's greatest struggle, today began the massing of a huge "war chest to support the railroad shopcrafts in their nationwide strike.
 Threat From Conductors.
 While union leaders throughout the country were preparing to issue the formal call for raising a gigantic strike fund, officials of the order of Railway Conductors today f1atly pre- service employees in all classes will be forced to quit their posts if the railroads continue to operate crippled equipment.
 echoed the warning of Engineer and Bremen Brotherhoods officials that accidents will shortly result from use of defective rolling stock.
 was launched with an appeal to so, ,O0o members of the Order of Railway Photographers to donate one full days pay in support of the striking shop $3o0.oo0 for the strike fund, it was said.
 Gompers Appeal Coming. Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor it was reliably learned. will shortly appeal to the rank and file of organized labor to mobilize their financial resources to back the strikers in a show down hght-". A dollar a day. from each organized workman 1t was said, would create a fund totalling $4.00O,OOO. Use of defective equipment on the roads Is a constant menace to life and limb and conductors absolutely will not continue to work under these con- ditions," was the fiat declaration of | William Clark, vice president of the Order of Railroad Conductors, in an- nouncing his union supported the | stand taken by the engineers and fire men.
 Coercion is being used in some cases to get the brotherhood men to do the work of strikebreakers,' Clark continued. Conditions are dep1orable
 and If the rail executives brand these
 charges as ridiculous, my only answer l is that they themselves will look ridi- culous within a few days.''

$50 in New London
 for Inspection Today

Submarine $50, recently inspected by Navy Department officials from Washington and Annapolis, is in New London today for an inspection by Admiral Wells. The vessel will soon leave the whaling port for Porte mouth, N. H., where she will be gone over by officials at the navy yard at that place.
 The $50 is fast becoming a fa- nous boat. The fact that it is being taken all over the Eastern coast for Inspections by high officials of the government apparently shows that the vessel is considered to be one of the very best underwater units of the navy.
 The S-49 and S-51 are still at the Lake company yards where they are undergoing minor changes and re- pairs The S-4S is expected to res sume trials the first of next week.

COMPROMISE NEAR
 IN CHICAGO STRIKE

Washington, Aug. 5.-A basis of compromise has been reached in Chi cago's street railroad strike which vir- tuaIly assures the end of the tie up within 24 hours, according to an of fiicial report to Secretary of Labor Davis today from two federal con- ciIiators, Oscar F. Nelson and B. M. Marshman.
 The report from the concilators said the wage question had been ad- iusted on a basis of 70 cents an hour, n reduction of 12 1-2 per cent in wages, and the traction company had abandoned it's contention for a nine hour day.

The standard British yard, kept for thirty years sealed in a box under the staircase in the House of Commons, has grown one ten-thousandth of an inch longer than the imperial standard kept in the Board of Trade. The British pound, made of platinum. kept in the same place. has in creased. 2.S6 of a grain in weight. British scientists cannot explain these unexpected phenomena They think vibrations resulting from air raids may be the cause. Perhaps matter is more of a variable than the scientists have supposed. It may be that some matter is losing weight, like ra- dium, and that other matter in long periods of time may gain. This seemingly trivial circum- stance is worth Investigating.

street at it's steepest point. Of course certain property in the vicinity of the proposed cut would suffer and dam ages which would have to be paid, but I believe that this would be incidental to the real value, if the street is made an outlet for traffic. The true value of the proposition will be made known when the engineer makes his report"
 The plan to make the grades low CT, thus allowing the cut to be made is considered the best yet advanced and it is assured of support in the council. it was stated today. It is pointed out that it would relieve traf- fc congestion in Main street.
 The text of Alderman Hogan's res olution follows:
 Resolved That the City Engineer be and is hereby instructed to make a study of the case and to submit his recommendations with probable cost of the project of so altering the grades of Golden Hill street or Elm street or of both in such a manner -as will permit Broad street between the two above named streets to be used for ordinary traffic.

 Fear fs a. great killer. The person who fears death will us- ual1y die much sooner than the person who goes about his busi- ness with his mind on the days work. It is very probable that this woman found it easier to end everything with a se1f-inf1icted execution than to remain longer in an anguish of anticipation of death procured by some other person.

The world is full of people who read about these long shots. They are the people who bet on horse races. who play the mar ket, who bet in a poker game, hoping against hope for the time when the royal straight flush will appear.
 The reasoning faculty Is left out of these people, or perhaps they never properly learned their arithmetic. Every schoolboy ought to have some instruction in the calculus of probabilities.
 People are playing the stock market under conditions where their chances of winning are lit tie better than two or three in infinity, which is no chance at all.

Johnstone Vance, editor of the New Britain Herald, drove a golf ball at one stroke into the little hole. 1855 yards away. It took a great golf champion two strokes to do the same thing. He couldn't do 1t very often.
 The editor couldn't do 1t again, even = he tried thousands of times. Such a thing doesn't hap pen often; only when there is a fortuitous combination, which means where there is 8 meeting of all the unknown laws and conditions necessary to make a golf ball move swiftly 165 yards and roll into a small hole.
 The chance that any particular small boy will be President of Che United States is a chance of about the same magnitude as the chance the golf ball has to make the hole in one.
