BIG STRIKE IS THREATENED
Hailroad Employes of Twenty Lines
Involved in the Trouble.
150,000 MEN MAY WALK OUT
Organisations of 4b American Fed
eration of Labor Are Tiorr Tak
ing Vote to Decide Whether
Strike Will Be Called.
According to railroad officials and labor
leaders a strike' Is likely to occur during
the latter part of the present month or
early In July that will Involve from 135,000
to 150,000 men, all members of the Ameri
can Federation -of- Labor. Should the
strike occr it ft'expecred that' It ;will he
general on twenty-two lines and will in
clude all shopmen,, switchmen and the
other organizations affiliated with the
Federation. '
At the present time the various organ
izations, that comprise the federation are
taking a' vote on whether or not thi
etrike shall be called. The votes will b
canvassed by the headquarters officials
In the various districts, but the results
Trill not be made public. The findings of
the officials will be forwarded to St.
Louis, at which place the general meet
Ing of federation officials is called for
June 20.
In voting on whether or not they will
Etrike, there Is no wage grievance that
enters into consideration. It Is asserted
that it Is to compel recognition of the
affiliated. organization of the labor crafts
and also to compel the Harriman of
ficials to bring about a settlement of the
shop strike on the Harriman system of
roads, that has now been on for the last
six months. . It Is also, said by the labor
leaders . that a general strike at this
time, would bring to a close the freight
handlers' strike that is on in . Chicago.
The freight handlers are affiliated with
the federation and It is contended that
a general strike of the allied Crafts
would force recognition of the freight
handlers.
Omaha Favor Strike.
Local officials of labor organizations
that are likely to be Involved In the gen
eral strike, If one occurs, say that they
understand the Omaha unions have voted
almost unanimously to go' out and that
the word coming from all over the west
' Indicates the same sentiment as prevails
here. They also add that while the
strike would not Involve the trainmen
who are members of the brotherhoods,
it would tie up tire roads of the coun
try to such an extent that they would
be forced to bring pressure to bear that
would fore the Harriman officials to re
consider the claims and demands of the
men of that system.
Railroad officials who are high up in
authority admit that a strike, such as
is anticipated, would seriously handicap
them and for a time would Interfere with
the handling of business. However, they
contend that If the machinists, shopmen
'nd switchmen should all go on strike,
within a short time they could fill the
places with other competent men. Upon
the subject of whether or not they would
insist that the Harriman officials recog
nize the demand of their men, or whether
on their own lines they would consent
to such, recognition," t&ey ax silent.
Crowds Flock to
Brandeis Stores
to See the Beauty
No; Brandeis' stere is not on fire.
The cause for the horde of men and wo
men flocking there is Rae Potter, the
prettiest working girl of Chicago, who is
here on a- tour demonstrating sewing
machines. This 17-year-old beauty won
first place In the recent contest held by
the Chicago Tribune and Lillian Russell,
beauty and authority on beauty, made
the decision.
There are about as many women as
men crowding around the sewing ma
chine booth young women and old wo
menall come to gaze upon the prize
beauty from the Windy city and mayhap
to get some pointers.
Miss Potter has no beauty recipes.
She's Just naturally pretty. Her eyes
are big and dark blue and of the dreamy
variety. Her complexion is creamy ' and
her hair is soft brown and wavy.
She declares that all the attention she
receives has not turned her head. She
has not decided what she will do after
she has finished the tour for the sewing
machine company. She is considering the
stage. She has numerous offers from mov
ing picture concerns, complexion cream
manufacturers and beauty quest ex
ploiters of all sorts. She has also had
numberless proposals of marriage from
men and youths all along the route. But
she is Just enjoying her trip through the
country and letting the future take care
of ' itself. ' She is' accompanied by her
mother. -Whatever
she does in the future he
will probably not return to the tele
phone switch-board where she was em
ployed when she was discovered and in
duced to enter tho beauty contest.
AH Miss Potcr has to do on her de
monstrating tour Is to give out souvenir
photographs of herself to the gazing
multitudes, be pretty and pleasant and
enjoy herself-all of which Is very easy
for her.
