THII 1CH CltlCA.lt SAXI1WICII.
CrncUcrs Ksiicclully IIcsIkiiciI for I(
Just How It Is Mil le.
"I had had," said a man of an Investi
gating turn of mind to a New York Sun re
porter, "some little curiosity concerning
tho Ice cream sandwiches which havo be
come so popular an artlclo of sale, and I
stopped tho other day at tho cart of a ven
der and bought ono. I had obsorved In a
general way that this odd sandwich was
composed ot two thin cakes or crackers,
with a thin Iayor ot ice cream between. I
now discovered that tho crackers used arc
specially designed and made for the pur
pose; nnd how tho sandwich Is made op
without breaking these thin crackers all to
pieces was also revealed.
"An esesntlal part of tho. vender's outAt
Is a crackci holder which Is mado of tin
and which has attached to Its undcrsldo a
handle by which tho vender holds It In use.
The holder Is simply a little flat tin plato
the size of one of tho two crackers that
form tho outside of an Ice cream sandwich,
say two tnclieB by ono, nnd having a low
flauge around three sides of It. Flanged
around on thrco sides thus It holds tho
cracker securely while tho sandwich is be
ing made; and, projecting as they do Just
ubovc the cracker, these threo flanged sides
mako It possiblo to spread over It a thin
layer of cream of precisely tho cracker's
size; whilo tho absenco of tho llango on the
fourth aldo permits tho complete sandwich
to bo slid out readily thero without tho
slightest danger of breaking It.
From a long row of them standing on
edge ou top of tho cart tho vender took a
cracker whleb he laid gently In that flanged
holdor. I found tho crackers used In thosu
pandwlehes when I camo to get mlno to bo
a thin, delicate, freshly-baked nnd alto
gether agreeable sweet cracker, having rog
ularly placed lots ot little Indentations In
It, like those in a waffle, only bmaller and
many more ot them,
"Having placed this first cracker thus in
the holder, tho vender did not, as I had
previously supposed ho did, cut off a thin
slice ot hard cream from an ice cream brick
to form that part of thu sandwich, but with
a suitable scoop he scooped out of the
freezer e. portlou of cream which, with a
deftness that could havo come from long
practlco only, ho spread over that cracker
with an absolutely uniform thickness, doing
all this with Just two sweeps of the scoop.
"And then ho laid another cracker on top
of tho cream, which settles Into tho Inden
tations In thu crackers and Is thus pre
vented from slipping away from between
them and slid tho completed saudwlch out
of the holder and handed It over."

(lie Union Carpet.
There was a lively session of Central
Labor union Friday, at which much
discussion resulted and but llttlo real
business was transacted.
The arbitration conimltteo's report on
Investigation of the sheet metal workers'
complaint against George King was to the
effect that tho trouble had been settled
to Hi') satisfaction of all concerned ; that
the trouble between the stago employes
and Fritz Wlrth was settled In the same
manner. The latter part of the report
was not satisfactory to tho stage em
ployes, who said that the trouble had not
been settled. Thu matter Involved the
waiters' nnd musicians' unions and mem
bers of tho former union requested per
mission for Mr wirth Jo explain the mat
ter from his standpoint. Mr. Wlrth was
admitted and stated that he had no
theater nor any uso for a stago employe
and wondered why he should bo required
to employ n stage employe when none
was needed and none had been employed
lit twenty-two years. He said that A man
had been forced Into his plncp who did
nothing but drnw his salary.
Aeed n Man Aiijmh)-.
A member of the arbitration committee
stated that ns every other beer garden
and variety house in the city had em
ployed members of the theatrical work
ers' union tho committee thought a
man should bo in the hall, even It thero
was no work for him to do,
W. H. Hell would not stand for tho
claims of tho stage workers and said that
ho thought It was not right to force a
man Into a place where ho was not needed;
that tho rr.atter should bo Investigated
fully before arbitrary action was taken.
He further said that It did not look right
to force him to employ n man at $15 a
week who might not do two hours' work
In a week. Tho report of tho commltteo
was accepted and Fritz Wlrth will bo re
quired to hire the man.
The organization commltteo reported
tho organization of the plumbers' helpers.
A special commltteo reported that It
had not succeeded In making a settlement
of tho work nt the den of the Knights of
Ak-Snr-Den and thore will bo a meeting
Monday evening to tako up tho matter.
A communication was received from the
Painters' union announcing that a lino ot
$100 had been assessed against Hugh Mc-
Caffcry for continuously employing non
union palntcts nnd papcrhangers. A state
ment of the condition by W. H. Hell brought
J. J. Kerrigan to hLs feet, who claimed that
Delegate Bell was misrepresenting facts. A
hot and heavy argument followed this, In
which every man had an opinion and ex
pressed It at tho top ot his voice. Delegates
Kerrigan, Bell and others woxed warm and
called each other names, while the presi
dent pounded with his gavel amid tho pan-
domontum. Finally the matter was referred
to tho arbitration committee, with a dozen
men on their feet scrambling for recogni
tion.
Tho committee which has been soliciting
advertisements for a Labor temple direc
tory was requested to suspend operations
until after Labor day.
To Entertain Delegate.
A letter from the Stato Sqclcty of Labor
and Industry regarding tho entertainment
of the delegates was referred to tho Labor
day committee amid so much contusion that
no one knew what had been done. When
they realized what they had done the mat
ter was taken from the Labor day commit
tee and referred to a special committee,
consisting of tho president, tho recording
secretary and the flnnnclal committee.
L. V. Ouye, from tho Labor day commit
tee, reported that the unions of Council
IJluffs would unite with tho unions of Omaha
and South Omaha on the first Monday in
September. The parade will form In Omaha
at 10:30 a. m. to march to Syndicate park,
and that there will bo a meeting of repre
sentatives of the local unions to arrango the
order of tho parade, this meeting to bo held
on the last Wednesday of August.
Delegate Charles Johuson, from tho Car
Ilulldcrs' union, announced that his union
had decided not to march In the pnrade If It
bo true that. W. J. Uryan, E. Hosewater and
O. M. Hitchcock had been invited to speak,
as "they were tired of having meetings
and gatherings at which men Identified with
politics would draw the wool over tho eyes
of the union men."
Mnroh im n Ilnily.
It was decided that tho delegates to the
Central Labor union maintain their organi
zation in the parade, tho union inarching is
a body, and that tho president ot tho union
act as marshal of the union. Illbbons to
designate thu members of tho union wcro
ordered prlutcd.
Delegate Dabcock of tho Dutchers' union
and Delegate Johnson of tho Car Dullders'
union wcro appointed as fraternal dele
gates to South Omaha.
Delegates from allied unions wcro ad
mitted as follows; Electrical workers, S.
A. Ilurkhousc, Fred Johuns, J. L. Carter;

SENATOR MILLARD AT HOME
Eetornt from Hit Trip to Washington City,
New York tad Othsr PtinU.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE STEEL STRIKE
Senator Announce the Wlndom of
Young Men Studying the SiinnliiH
LaiiKaniCe ChanKC of Fed
eral Building Plana.
Senator J. H. Millard returned yesterday
morning from New York and Washington.
Ho said:
"It was principally private business which
took mo east and I spent a largo part of tho
tlmo In New York. In that city there seoms
to be excellent business conditions and the
present strlko In the steel manufacturing
districts has had little effect on tho mar
kets. Managers of the steel trust told mo
that the strike was causing them little
trouble and that they wcro not worrying
over the result. They said so far na the
union was concerned they would have noth
ing more to do with It, as they considered
It out ot the question. As far as I could
understand tho situation It appeared to mo
that the representatives of the employes
would have a hard tlmo to framo any kind
of a proposition which tho managers would
consider at all. Theso managers assert that
they ore nblo to operate their plants re
gardless ot the union and from what I could
sea In passing through tho manufacturing
district they are warranted In their state
ments. "In coming west I passed through Mc
Kecsport, tbe center of the trouble. Thero
wero about 2,000 wen and womon at tho
trains and some of tho mills wero probably
Idle, but generally from that place to Pitts
burg all of tho mills seemed to be running,
although some of them were short-handed.
Unlet nt WnnhlitKtou.
"At Washington I found most of tho ad
ministrative officers out of the city. Tha
postmaster general, the secretary of tho
treasury and the attornoy general, thoso I
desired to see, were In town and I met them.
They aro very nice people and seem In
clined to give Nebraska all that Is coming,
but the trouble Is that all ot tho positions
are ftliod. I was pleased to secure thu
change in the postolllce plans, as that was
ono of my chief reasons for visiting Wash
ington. Tho supervising nrchltoct of the
Treasury department had started to preparo
a draft of the new design for the western
side ot tl.o building before I reached tho
capital and he had a forco nt work when I
arrived, Tho preparation of these plans de
layed me two days In Washington, but I
saw the draft before I left. Thero will bo
no porch on tho Seventeenth strcot aldo as
there U on tho Sixteenth street sldo for tho
reason that it would not bo practicable as
the doors on that side aro to bo used as en
trance to the postolllco workroom, through
which tho mall sacks are to bo passed.
Othcrwldo tho Seventeenth street side will
be like the eastern side In height aud gen
eral appearance.
"When I left AVashlngton thero wes somo
question ns to whether this change could
bo made within the appropriation. I vis
ited Chicago on my way home and whl'o
thero 1 saw tho firm of contractors which U
now nt work on tho buP.dlng. Their manager

Steel railway bridges, weighing perhaps
10,000 tons nplece and sold f. o. b. In Chi
cago at 3i,4 to 3 cents a pound, are ono ot
the anomalies of business, reports 'the Chi
cago Tribune. Uut Is Is by tho pound, de
livered lu Chicago, that the Uurllngton road
system buys all Its bridges and pays for
most of tho repairs to old bridges In the
same way. ThU work is all let by con
tract and bids for It mado by tho pound.
Tho prlco varies according to tho market
prices on steel. Threo years ago bridges
wero bought as low as 1.83 cents a pound,
but tho range today Is 3U to 3i cents a
pound. On this railway system for all
bridges not exceeding 105 feet In length,
tho girder pattern Is used, with tho frame
work rlvltod together. Abovo this length
tho truss pattern Is required, having steel
plates drilled at the ends for coupling with
other plates by steel pins.
Assistant Engineer T. Jordan of tho Uur
llngton system was asked as to railway
brldgo building In general. "In tho ex
perience of tho modern railroad," he said,
"few bridges have had to be replaced In
the last quarter of a century becauso they
havo worn out. Tho increased demands ot
traffic havo mado them out of date, either
becauso they wero not wide enough for
double-tracking or becauso they weio not
built for such loads as wo arc now putting
In cars. In building bridges tho weight
nnd epeed of trains must bo taken Into
consideration so as to avoid slowing down
ns much as possible. Tako tho ordinary
brldgo without a draw in It for tho pas
sago of boats, no train Is expected to slow
down becaust) of It, because that section of
track Is supposed to be as firm as any other.
"Few people realize how carefully bridges
mutt bo constructed In order to stand, lu
the mnrgln between tho extremes of heat
and cold In this climate a steel brldgo will
expand nnd contract .12 of Its length, and
to allow for this ono und of a brldgo Is
hung from a giant link that swings to
allow for expansion nt one pier. In the
trusses of tho truss bridges the steel sec
tions pinned togothor must be within .til
of nn Inch In length between the drilled
holes for the pins. To accomplish this, each
section of steel must bo at exactly the
came temperature ns thu others at the time
of drilling. The drills which cut them are
fixed to a steel shaft which expands or
contracts according to thn atmosphere of
the shop In which tho brldgo steels are
kept fo- drilling. Thoso pieces are clamped
together tightly and bored according lo
pattern, Insuring that each piece will be
just the same length of llio others when
ever thuy nre of the samo temperature.
"As to Iron or steel bridges under strain
ol traffic ono of tho theories ot theso metals
is that constant strain nnd Jarring tend to
mako them 'tired.' This Is a weakening
process brought about by tho crystallizing
of the molecules, making a bar much moro
likely to snap. In 1891 one of this com
pany's bridges was Mill standing over tho
Mississippi river at Uurllngton, la., whom
It had stood slnco 1865. It was nn Iron
bridge, as steel bridges wcro unknown at
ho tlmo of the building of It.
"The company decided lo take out one
span of this structure in order to test the
condition of tho brldgo Irons. It was n
costly bit of experimenting, especially an
It proved that the Iron was as good as It
was when it was put Into tho structure
twenty-six years before. It was In such
good condition that tbe last piece of It

was put back and stayed thero until It was
found necepfcnry to take the brldgo down
to mako way for double tracks. On this
bridge all trains hnd been run slowly, tint
beenuso of the brldgo, but becauso of thn
draw that was In It. A stato law compels
the stopping of all trains before reaching
tho draw ot any brldgo and this means al
ways that trains havo to bo run slowly to
be under sufficient control.
"As a matter of fact, this company has
about 1,000 bridges of varying lengths In
Us system. Aerounts are opened with each
of them, showing total cost of building and
maintaining each ono of them. As to brldgo
repairs, there are often difficulties In put
ting lu steel. Wi I rli makes a bid by the
pound Inadvisable. In such eases we usually
ask a company 10 put In tho work accord
ing to specifications, to render an itemized
bill of coHts. to which 10 or 12 per cent
Is added by agreement."
