EICAGO, July 1. - All hope for ,ng a nationwide strike of rail
 lopmen vanished today when
 ,t,y at 10 o'clock this morning ,rkers in the various railroad and yards throughout the East {, 2tates commenced quitting their posts. So far but little effects of the strike can be seen by the public, al though the companies must be experi- encing some slight difficulties. The officials of the railroads declared that train movements would continue with no appreciable interruption and that the public would scarcely be aware of the walkout as far as the service was concerned. Within a few minutes after 10 o'clock reports received here indicated that 50,0OO men had dropped their tools.

CHICAGO, July 1. The chief is sues involved in the strike of the rail- road shopmen which commenced a 10 o'clock this morning are the refusal of the men to accede to the reduction in wages which the Railway Labor Board ordered and which became eff fective today. This reduction looped off $6O,OOO,OOO annually from the pay rolls of the companies. In addition
 se men are insisting that the rul@s peAtaining to overtime and shop con Nditidns, recently abrogated, be re- stored. Also the strikers insist that the railroads shall do all the work in their own shops and cease the prac- tice of leasing out portions of the work to contractors. The shopmen are insisting upon a settlement according to their terms of all these contentious. In many cases the roads had already agreed not to lease any of the work out to contractors.

RED CROSS ROLL
CALL IN OCTOBER
Decision Reached at Meeting of Chapter
Executive Committee Today
FeilOwes Delegate to Washington.


Decision to conduct the annual Red
Cross roll call in Windham county the
last week in October instead of at the
time set for the nationwide campaign,
was reached in a meeting of the eXecu-
tive committee of Windham County
chapter in the federal building this fore
noon. At that time also Rev. e. G.
Fellowes of Bellows Falls, chairman of
the chapter, was elected a delegate to
the national Red Cross convention in
Washington, ID. G.
The change in time of the campaign
for Nindham county was thought adyis-
able on account of the possibility of
poor condition of the roads at the time of
the nationwide campaign in November.
The committee also voted to author
ize the executive secretary to employ
stenographic assistance for the next five
months to aid in the work of the roll
call and in the special financial cam
paign for funds for the public health
nursing project. ....+
Reports were given by various commit
tee chairmen, also by Miss Helen III.
Sanderson and Miss Clara f. Hoffman,
district public health nurses.
\ suggestion by Mrs. f. w. Pier,
chairman of junior work, that the junior
work for the year take the character of
public health work was adopted.

The birds we're on a

penguin stomach. The birds were on a
hunger strike.
There was but one thing to do. The
red herrings were caught after nne
half day Of fishing. They were pain
lessly killed and sent to the ice plant.
There they were frozen into stonelike
solidity. And then, one by one, they
were showed down the gullets of the
hungry but obdurate penguins. The
keepers tried making the penguins swal-
low the FISH before the freezing, but
failed. The food was entirely too linn
Der. They tried holding the noses of the
penguins in an effort at making the crea-
lures swallow In self-defense. II didn't
work Then came the inspiration that
resulted in the freezing of the behring's.
To shove a stiff fish down a penguin's
throat is a fairly easy matter.
The process is simple because OF the
penguin's intelligence. The penguin Is
one of the most intelligent of birds
much brighter. for example. than the
canary. AN you have TO do is to sur
prise or excite the penguin to laughter.
She opens her bill for good hearty
laugh and you pop the frozen herring
into her. It seems rather foolish to take
this advantage of any recent arrival In
our city, and the two female penguins
were rather resentful at first; but food
has softened many another crouch.
The great trouble Is that the Bird de-
partment keepers are likely to run out
of jokes and surprises. Yesterday after
noon they discovered that the readiness
with which the penguins responded TO the
prohibition jokes and excerpts from the
Congressional Record was diminishing,
so they were forced to try making
faces at the creatures. There may develop
out of the situation a pretty soft po-
litical job. For $4,000 year. let's say.
any number of Tammany boys would be
willing to spend the day making faces
at penguins.
