the recent wheat speculation. The

JOKE ON TIE OFFICER.
The Thief Catcher UnsuSpectinRly
Gives His Suit to n Wagon
Thief to Clean.

There is good story told on a
prominent official of Allegheny, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. He denies it,
but its truth is vouched for by another
well-known official. Some days ago,
the story goes, the former official hap
pened to be going into his residence
on one of the prominent thorough
fares when he saw man hurrying
across the street with several pieces of
mems wearing apparel on his arm. The
man was walking in the direction of a
wagon nearby that belonged to clean
ing and dyeing establishment. It struck
the official that he would have one of
his spring suits cleaned, and he hailed
the man, thinking he was in charge of
the wagon. However, the fellow proved
to be thief and had just robbed hall
rack in neighboring clearinghouse.
When the official cried out to him:
Say, mister, have suit wish you
would have cleaned" the thief took in
the situation and saw that he had been
taken for the driver of the wagon. He
coolly went over and got the officials
suit. The thief was well out of sight
before the real driver of the wagon Re-
turned and the truth became known.

Chicago, July 2.-The following bull

newspaper office Friday evening at ten
o'clock: At eight o'clock this (Fri-
day. evening the stereotypers union
notified the newspaper publishers of
Chicago that unless their demands for
an increase of wages from 1925 to 81
per day, reduction of the working day
from ight to seven hours, with pay
ment at the rate of Is cents per hour
for all overtime, and other concessions
were at once acceded to, they would
refuse to return to work. In conse-
quence of this action all Chicago pa
pers will not appear on Saturday.
This action of the newspapers was in
Pursuance of an understanding recent

other provisions, the following agree.

I'm the event Of strike in any of the
departments of one or more Chicago daily
newspaper offices, the mechanical re-
sources OF all our offices shall be pooled to
the extent and with the purpose that no
newspaper shall be published unless. and
until, all newspapers can be promptly pub
lished on same day."
Stercotypers have been averaging
from $3.50 to $22 per week on six day
evening papers, and from $24 to $27
on seven day morning papers. It is an
ticipated that an influx of stereotypers
from all parts Of the country will be
SO immediate and so great that the in
terrnption of publication will con-
tinue for but few days.
