ery class of union . labor on every rail
road west of tho Missippi, almost
700,000 men, is now being talked of
among railroad men and labor leaders.
Tho plan calls for a general striko of
all shopmen, telegraphers, rqadmon,
clerks, freight handlers and switch
men, on all Western railroads, and ex
tension of the walkout to such eastern
railroads as handle freight which may
bo moved by strikebreaker on the
western carriers.
Whother such a paralyzing blow to
the railroads can bo dealt roots, of
course, with the tolegrnphers, road
men, clerks, freight handlers and
switchmen themsolves. The plan was
reached, it is stated, after a three-day
secret conferenco of tho international
presidents of. tho flvo big unions of
craftmen now concerned in tho Har
rlman lines strike,
Tho plan of action is first to socuro
co-operation of all union men on nil
lines running south of St. Louis In a
strike, and then to have tho union em
ploycs on all connecting western lines,
ono by one to join tho striko, until the
chain of roans nuectcu snail covor tnc

Opticians agree that the light froM a good oil lamp i
easier on the eyes man any otner arimciai ugm.
The Rayo Larrip is the best oil lamp made.
It gives a slrong, yet soft, white light; and it never flickers. It pre
serves the eyesight of. tho young; it helps and quickens that ot the old.
You can pay $5, $1,0, or $20 for other lamps, but you cannot get
better light than the low-priced Rayo gives.
