WOULD BREAK
|
Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 19. — Judge |
Hazel in the United States circuit
eourt granted a temporary injumction
CONTRACT
upon behalf of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Railroad company, |
.estraining the Switghmen's Union of |
North America, Buffalo Lodge No. 4
and its officers from breaking an agree- |
ment alleged to exist between the
company and the Switchmen’s Union.
This agreement proviles for the scalo
of wages to be paid the switchmen,
end the petition for the order states
that a strike is threatemed which will |
place this comtract in jeopardy. The
fnjunction is returnable November 23.
At the office of the attorneys of the
eompany !t was stated that the action
was taken at the urgent request of
mercantile bodies and large individual
shippers, who feared the results that
might ensue from the tieing-up of even
one of the trunk lines at this time,
when every car was being utilized in
transporting the crops of the country
to the coast. Notwithstanding the pres-
ent condition of affairs, it was said the
Switehmen's Union is demanding am
increased rate of pay and “threatems
that if the same is not immediately
granted a general strike will be called,
in violation of the agreement fixing
schedule now current and which does |
not expire until 30 days after notice
given arter January 1, 1908.”
Pressmen Obey Injunction.
Cincinnati, Nov. 19.—No violation of
the injunction of the federal court
prohibiting a strike of the members
of the International Printing Pressmen
snd Assistants’ Union were reported
fa Olincinnati, although Monday was
the day set by the organisation fer
the general enforcement of its de
ands for an eight-hour day. An im
Pn has been issued by the fed:
eral court here on represemtation or
the United Typothetae of Amerioa,
that for the unions te strike for an
eight-hour day would be in violation |
of an agreement between the unions
and the Typthetae.
President Rerry, of the International
Pressmen’s Union, whose headquarters
are in Cincinnati, said: “So far as I
know there has not been a single vieo-
lation of the injunction. Monday five
sixths of the subordinate unions in the
country signed with the employers,
and 85 per cent. of the membership of
the union is now working under the
eight-hour day.”
THE SPEED TESTS
Steam Locomotive Again Makes Better
Time Than Electric Engine.
Clayton, N. J., Nov. 16.—S8team loco-
motive No. 60689 again made better
speed In the tests on the Pennsylvania
railroad here than did the big electric
engine No. 10,008. The steam engine
made 03.6 miles an hour on the spe-
olally built curved track, while the
electric made but 90 miles an hour.
Five runs were made by the steam lo-
comotive, and it was said that the first
test was really the best, but the trip-
per was not properly set and the re-
cord of speed failed to show on the
first try.
The electric engine was permitted to
start the run at Glassboro, giving it
six miles in which to get up speed be-
fore the curved track was reached, but
the apparently poor showing of the
electric engine is said by railroad men
sot to mean much for the big machine
is not completed. It is also at a disad-
vantage because it was built for use
with an alternating current, while the
eurrent supplied for the tests by the
West Jersey & Seashore railroad is di-
vect. To utilize the current it has
been necessary to carry a converter
on a hageage car, drawn by the elec-
tric engine.

department of the palace, carrying a
large can of gasoline. As he was pass- |

flames flared up and the building was
threatened, but help was summoned,

ually to put out the fire. Considerable
furniture and draperies were burned

Dina Moe and Dina Mite.
Mr. Cracker, a young colored gentle-
man of our city, had just obtained em-
ployment in one of our department
stores as an experienced porter, but
after a short time proved to be unfit
for the position. Being fired, he there- |
by gained the nickname of Fire Crack-
er. Fire Cracker was deeply In love |
with a young woman of his own race
by the name of Miss Moe and after a |
short acquaintance found that her sur.
name was Dinan. He went to Dina
Moe and said:
“Dina Moe, does you lub me?" {
She quickly replied, “No.”
Not being disheartened and at the
| same time remembering the motto he
learned at school, “If at first you don’t
succeed try. try again” he went to
Dina Moe again and sald:
“Dina Moe, could you learn to lub |
me?”

Snapdragon Seed Pods.
The antirrhinum, or snapdragon, is

But there is something still more |

skeleton of the seed pod Look at
them sideways, under a bright lamp- |
light if possible, and you will find they

from the front, and they have a still
more striking resemblance to human

Hurry.
To our own age belongs the credit
of having raised hurry from the de
gradea position of a disease to that of
a commercial process. Formerly hur
ry simply brought people to an early
grave, with nothing to show for It,
whereas now It is become the means
of transforming peace of mind. which
is a solecism, to say the best of it, Into
ready money. Hurry has grown to be
a great fact in life. Even the fash-
fons take account of it until women
are found doing up their hair in such
a way that they may go the speed Him-
it without fear of its coming down.
And the best of hurry is that it is ts
own sufficient justification. Nobody
expects hurry to have any particuiar
reason behind it any more.—R. B. In|
New York Life.
Preposterous.
An aged Jersey farmer visiting a cir- |
cus for the first time stood before the
dromedary’'s cage, eyes popping and |
wouth agape at the strange beast
within. The circus proper began, and
the crowds left for the main show, but
gtill the old man stood before the cage
in stunned silence appraising every de-
tall of the misshapen legs, the cloven
hoofs, the pendulous upper lip and the
curiously mounded back of the sleepy
eyed beast. Fifteen minutes passed.
