OVER ISSUE OF
SENIORITY
LABOR BOARD ADMITS FAILURE
TO BRING ABOUT SETTLE
MENT OF STRIKE.
Chicago. Julv 19. The failure of
all efforts to bring the settlement of
the country-wide strike of railway
honmen was announced in state
ments issued tonight by Ben W.
Hooper, chairman of the United
States railroad labor board.
"As there does not seem to be any
orobability cf reconciling the anti
podal view of carriers and the men
m the ouestion at i?sue. the labor
ward and none of its members is
now engaged in any further efforts
ilong that line," the statement said.
At the same time the statement
pointed out that virtual agreement
had been reached between the rail
heads and the strike leaders on all
f the five points in dispute, except
;hat of the return to the strikers of
heir seniority rights an incidental
question which was not originally in
dispute between the roads and their
men.
Railroad executives issued a state
ment tonight corroborating Chair
man Hooper's statement that no fur
ther peace conferences were being
'.ield, and that the seniority issue was
the principal stumbling block.
What the Men Demand
Chairman Hooper's statement said
that a conference was held last Sat
urday between B. M. Jewell, head of
the shopmen; A. O. Wharton, labor
member of the board, and Mr. Hoop
er and heads of the seven striking
organizations, when Mr. Jewell indi
cated he would be , willing to submit
to his committee an agreed program,
if the carriers concurred in it.
The program, Mr. Hooper's state
ment said, was as follows:
1st That the carriers which
had arbitrarily changed the
wages and working conditions
of the employes by means of the
contract system, in violation of
the railroad labor board's de
cisions, should withdraw from
this practice. This applied to
only a few roads, as the others
had heretofore announced their
willingness to cancel such con
tracts. 2nd That the authority
granted by the transportation
act to the carriers and their em
ployes to set up an adjustment
board or boards be exercised by
the establishment of a national
adjustment board. '
3rd That the employes in
volved in the strike proceed in
conformity with the transporta
tion act in the settlement of the
disputed rules and wages, seek
ing from the railroad labor
board a rehearing of the recent
wage decision and promptly sub
mitting the seven disputed rules
to the adjustment hoard, with
the statutory right of appeal to
the labor board.
4th The carriers to with
draw or dismiss all lawsuits
growing out of the strike.
5th All men now on strike,
those laid off. furlousrhed or on
leave of absence to be returned
to work and their former posi
tions, with seniority and other
rights unimpaired.
As a method for securing a confer
ence fully representing The carrier:?
and the employes concerned, it was
contemplated that the railroad labor
board should call a hearing for that
Seniority the Stumbling Block !fi n -.'
Mr. Hoorer said he had submitted, . ..
th. nrnnodtinn tn spv.nl rr.ihvpv PV-I
M,tivp with tiiP a"rpPmpnt that, if
a tentative agreement could be reach-
ad it was to be submitted to other
executives. Mr. Hooper said he un-
derstood the program had been laid :
before a large numner or executives.
"My investigation of the attitude
of the carriers has convinced me," .
his statement said, that no serious
obstacle is to be found in any of the
items above enumerated except the !
2fth."
The carriers contended, he said,
that when the men struck the roads
owed to themselves and the public
the duty of continuing the operation
of the trains In doing this. Mr.
Hooper said, the roads endeavored to
replace the men who quit the service.
and asserted that thev promised eff i- .
cient employment and fair treatment
after the strike is over and cannot
recede from there obligations.
"They also state," Mr. Hooper's
statement said, "that to give the re-
turning strikers preference over the .
men now employed would merely en- j
courage the recurrance of strikes." I
The roads, he said, have promised
to employ men who have been out on
strike, if they have not been guilty
of breaches of peace and the destruc-
tion of property, but refused to give
them seniority over those who have !
remained at work.
Says Men Should be Reinstated
Mr. Wharton, the labor memiber of ;
the board, on the -other hand, set
forth the position of the shop crafts,
with regard to seniority by assert-
ing that "any settlement of the pres-
ent controversy which has for its
ject the restoration of harmonious
relations and the efficient operation !
of shops must take into consideration i
the restoration of the men involved j
to their status as employes as of date
prior to the stopping of work."
He maintained the great maioritv
of these men are permanently located
property owners and are more desir
able employes than those now taking
their places; that it will be an un- j ture and my tail ,s pPIkelIke n appear
usual position if the carriers deny'ance and my body is, too. I am like
the request of the organizations in a very big lizard, but as no one would

of a settle-
mem."

DIFFERENT CREATURES
"We have a fine sign over our
heads," said some of the snakes In
the zoo as they wriggled and hissed.
'Yes, we have," they hissed again.
"Some of us," said Mr. Gopher
Snake, "such as ourselves and the
Pine Snake family and the Black
Snake family have a sign over our
cages which reads that we are snakes
of economic value.
That means that we are snakes
with the power to do good which we
jelo, too. We eat bad insects and help
the crops in that way."
"Oh," said the white mice, "we have
such cunning little houses in our zoo
homes. And we run in and out of the
front doors of our houses and feel
like little people. Yes, we feel most
Important."
"I was very much pleased a few rao
ments ago," said one of the white
mice, "because a small child came up
to see me and then run over to her
brother and said:
"'Oh Bobby, come and see the dear
wee mouse. Oh, you dear little mouse,"
she said to me over and over again.
'What darling pink eyes and what
a cunning trembling little nose you
liave, she said to me.
"Of course, I knew I bad these
things, but It was nice to think that
she admired them so much,
"And over and over and over again
oh, I can't begin to tell you liow
often she said it she repeated, 'oh,
you dear little mouse, you dear little
mouse!
"Now I must run In my little house
again."
So the little mouse ran Into his lit
tle house which was like a little doll's
house instead of his cage in the zoo.
And the other white mice had houses
just like this one.
The rattlesnakes then began to talk.
"We belong to the Pit-Viper family.
I 'it-Vipers have long hollow fangs.
When our fangs are not la use we
leave them to lie against the roof of
the mouth. That is to say that each
pit-viper has his fangs lying against
the roof of his mouth when he is not
using them to poison anyone. The
poison glands are behind our eyes and
connect with the fangs. Oh, yes, it
is all very well arranged for, very well
indeed."
'Our poisoning is not always fatal
which means something quite dread-
"You Dear Little Mouse."
"OUt like tlie Way yOU talK,
Snakes." said a little animal about the
'size of a large rat- He wore a speckled
grayish coat and was very nice look-
ing with a very sweet expression. His
faCe was iointed and his tail was long.

PIGS' LANGUAGE
"Grunt, grunt," 6aid Grandfather
rorky rig.
"Squeal, squeal, said Grandmother
Pork.
"Grunt, grunt," said Miss Ham.
"Squeal, squeal," said rinky Pig.
"Grunt, grunt," said Master Pink
Pig.
"Squeal, squeal," said Tlnky Pig's
mother.
"Grunt, grunt, grunt, grunt," said
Mrs. Pink Pig.
"Grunt, grunt, squeal, squeal' said
Mrs. Pinky Pig.
"Grunt, grunt," said Sir Perclval
Pork.
"Squeal, squeal," said Sir Benjamin
Bacon.
"Grunt, grunt," said Brother Bacon.
And as all of them were grunting
and squealing along came Sammy
Sausage.
"Well, what ls happening In the
Pig Pen today?" he asked. "I was
down at the other end of the next
yard and I heard all of you grunting
"Well, What Is Happening?"
and squealing and having a great deal
to say for yourselves."
"I should say we had a great deal
to say for ourselves," said Grandfather
Porky Pig.
"I should say so," said Grandfather
Pork.
"I agree," said Miss Ham.
"And so do I." said Tinky Pig.
"The same Is true of me," said
Master Pink Pig.
"And I also agree," said Pinky Tig's
mother. '
"Same here," said Mrs. rink Tig
as she twisted her tall gaily.
"Ditto," said Mrs. Pinky Pig.
"True," said Sir Perclval Pork.
"Correct," said Sir Benjamin Bacon.
"Quite so," said Brother Bacon.
"Well, If only some one would ex
plain," said Sammy Sausage. "Why
does not one of you speak for all of
you as long as you all agree?"
"Why not?" said Grandfather Porky
Pig. "I'd be a good one to explain'
"I'd be a good one," said Grand
mother Pork.
"I'd be excellent," said Miss Ham.
"Oh, I would be fine," said rinky
Pig.
"I would be splendid," said Master
rink Pig.
"I would explain most beautifully,"
said rinky Tig's mother.
"I would explain perfectly," said
Mrs. Tink Tig.
"I think it is an excellent Idea. Let
me do the explaining," said Mrs. rinky
Tig.
"Ah, it is a perfect idea," said Sir
Tercival Tork. "I will tell Sammy
Sausage."
"I would be the best of all to tell
him," said Sir Benjamin Bacon,
"Oh," said Brother Bacon, 'trust
your Brother Bacon to give the best
explanation."
"Ah," just like pigs," said Sammy
Sausage, "each one wants to be the
whole show. Now we'll never get any
where and I'll never find out anything
if you all talk. You all think It ls a
good Idea for one to do the explaining
but each thinks himself or herself
the best one to do this.
"Now we've Just got to draw for It.
I'll give each of you a little mud pat
and the one who draws tbe mud pat
with the stick ln It will be the one
to do the explaining."
So they all drew the mud pats Sam
my Sausage made and Brother Bacon
won the pat with the stick ln it so he
began at once to grunt and squeal.
"Fine, Luck was on the right side,"
The other pigs began to grunt and
squeal that it would have been better
had they been chosen when Sammy
Sausage wiggled his crooked tall and
said,
"Grunt, grunt, this ls the way we de
cided to do it."
So they all kept quite quiet and
Brother Bacon spoke.
"The children ln yonder farm-house
said they were learning French In
school and they said bow nice It was to
know a little of another language.
"But we had a good long talk and
one and all agreed that It was non
sense, nonsense to learn any other
language or any other words when we
have our own fair language, tbe tongue
of our grandfathers and great grand
fathers, the language of the grunters
and the squealers Tigs Language.
"Ah, what nonsense to study any
thing else ! What nonsense ! Of
course It would be nice perhaps If one
were going to travel abroad to know
how to ask for food In every language,
but for us In the Ten and for Tigs
everywhere Tigs' Language Is the
language to know and the only one
to know I" And they all agreed.

Q.f and K. C. railroads. This the com
mittee has asked the Journal to pub
lish and ls as follows:
The following is the standing of
the six shop crafts on the Burling
ton and Q. O. & K. C. railroads ac
cording to our last reports from the
local committees:
Machinists out, 2,953; working
122.
Boilermakers Out, 1,410; work

Total foremen working, 245.
Firemen and Oilers out, 17G

none.
No other crafts employed and the
road is struck 100 per cent.
In the daily reports received from
all points there are many interest
ing things developed. In many of the
cities where our men are on strike
the local merchants are making spe
cial prices to our men upon presen
tation of their union card and are
also offering to carry them so long
as they have any resources.
From the expressions received
from the men who are now out we
have lost all those who had a streak
of yellow and the balance will stick
until a satisfactory settlement is ob
tained. As advised in our previous reports
the salaries of all district and sys
tem federation officers was stopped
July 1st. Four of the general chair
men returning to their homes sub
ject to call to visit any point where
they may be needed. To date there
has been but one call for assistance.
General Chairman Kucera of the
machinists has been located at Have
lock and has visited several points
close by. General Chairman Reece
has been located at St. Joseph, Mo.,
General Chairman Klein located at
West Burlington and General Chair
man Collins of the Electrical work
ers has been located at Aurora, 111.
So far the local committees at the
other points have been able to han
dle the local situation with what ad
vice we have been able to give them
from this office.
We will make an effort in our next
report to give you a full report of
the condition of the equipment. So
far we have been unable to get en
ough of a report on this to be of any
value other than the general report
that the engines and cars are rapid
ly going to pieces.
The boys are indebted to the firm
of Weyrich & Hadraba for use of an
Edison phonograph and a large sup
ply of peppy records, which is help
ing to pass away the time and is very
much enjoyed.
The Rev. John Calvert of the First
Methodist church gave a very pleas
ing talk to the fellows Wednesday
morning which was thoroughly en
joyed by the lrge crowd present.
The executive committee is extend

lowing roll call which is held at 1
o'clock a. in.
All the boys are in pood spirits
and determined to STICK. They are
also very proud of their record as to
c onduct which has bet n maintained
during the strike, ns they realize
this is paramount in keeping th
public sentiment on their side.

FASHION AND WEATHER
Detectives check up and find that
New York City's most sensational
crimes occur during summer. The
Thaw, Rosenthal and Elwoll rases
were staged during the warm
months. So are nearly all the other
metropolitan murders involving
prominent people.
There is no mystery about this.
Nor is it coincidence. In hot weath
er, emotions are stronger and the
brain languid. In winter, the brain
is keener, emotions more under con
trol. Feople are blamed or given cred
it for a lot of deeds that really are
