BIG MAJORITY
FAVORS STRIKE
Additional Strike Votes to Fol-
low Decision OF Labor
Board Tomorrow

CHICAGO. June 16.-(By the
Associated Press).-On the eve
OF another railway wage slash, ex-
pected to lop nearly S30,OO0,000
from the railroads annual labor
bill covering $4,000 employees,
gossip in rail circles centered to-
day on the question of whether,
if a strike ballot authorizes the
men to quit, a walkout will actual
ly take place.
Reports from headquarters of
the railway employees department
Of the American Federation Of
Labor said that 100000 shopmen
are voting on three questions on
three different colored ballots and
that.a 100 per cent vote was .ex-
pected. Indications thus far were
that it would be overwhelmingly
in favor of a strike, it was said.
Added to the shopmen's vote
was the ballot being cast by 500,-
900 maintenance of way l%aborers.
Both votes are to be completed
before July L.. The shop union
leaders have even urged their men
to have their ballots in by June
20 so that they may be advised of
the result before July l.
Wage cuts for other classes Of
workers rel regarded as certain
forerunners of o strike. votes
With the new decision looked for
tomorrow, three more classes,
clerks, signalmen and stationary
fremen, are expected to add their
ballots to the others.
Tomorrow's slash will not cut
any one class more than 5 cents
an hour, it is said, and the gener-
al average is thought to be lower.

In ali was the makingaof good
government for all, for it must be
good for all before it could really

said, had been so engrossed with
their own affairs that they had
neglected this great work.
Maj. M. M Nicely was the next
speaker. He eulosized the busin-

yers present said that such men as
Lincoln, Clay, Webster and or
two other mediocre attorneys had
made good as leaders in govern
ment. Major Nicely then told a
little story written by Tolstoi. It
was about a king who sought the
answer to the three questions,
namely:
What to do?
When to do it?
Whom to consult?
He got the answer from an old
hermit, who said the time to do
anything was the present, those to
be consulted were, those to be

Judging from reports from druggists

its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
an interview on the subject made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
70 many applicants for insurance are re-

common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.

II is recognized generally that the
losses Of heat from bare pipes and
boilers are considerable, yet their real
magnitude is little appreciated. The
fact that the loss from 1000 square
feet Of exposed surface mt 100 pounds
per square inch in steam pressure
represents more than 300 tons Of coal
annually Is sufficient justification for
the serious consideration of this sub
