Tho Daily Newspapers Appear, Although in
Abbreviated Form.
CHICAGO, July ~0.-Chicago again has it's daily
newspapers and is happy. Four days diet on
out-of-town dailies from Cincinnati. st. Louis,
Indianapolis. Detroit. and Milwaukee. and the
poor excuses gotten out in local Job offices to
fill the demand for something to read. were
sufficient. and the familiar sheets were hailed
with Joy. even though they were only four
pages in size. had no editorial articles and
printed no advertisements. Last night the tie
up Of the newspapers, which has caused q news
famine in the city. came to an end. Typo
graphical Union No. 10. the parent organization
Of all the allied printing trades unions OF Chi
cago. decided. by q vote OF almost four to one.
that the demands OF the stereotypers were I'M
reasonable. and that they could not be sup
ported by organized labor. Similar action was
taken by the pressmen's union.
This placed the stereotypers practically be-
yond the pale Of unionism and permitted the
Chicago newspapers to issue with union labor,
as they have done for many years. without the
recognition Of the stereotypers' union. 1t was
q question between personal sympathy and JUS
tice. and the Typographical union did not falter.
1t decided that the action Of the stereotypers
was hasty. and the manner of presenting the
demands contrary to the principles and detri-
mental to the interests of organized labor. An
attempt was made to prevent the Typographical
union from taking any action if 1t could not
take action favorable. to the stereotypers. but
the Typographical union felt that il must not
only withhold its support from the stereotypers
but that 1t must expressly state this fact. The
result was that last night printers and press
men presented themselves at their offices as
usual. and the strike, so far as it concerned the
international union. came to u close.
The striking stcreotypers are not at work in
any Chicago newspaper offices. their places hav-
ing been filled by competent men OF other cities.
Owing to the hriefness Of the time allowed for
preparation the newspapers came out in re-
duced form, but the little four-paRe publica-
tionS were grabbed up eagerly on every corner
this morning, and the newsboys who have been
making $25 a day selling the Daily Score Card,
the -MOrQue. Life. the Stock Yards Straight Tip,
the Deaf Nudes Spokesman. the Morning Bill
Of Fare. and the Northwestern Christian .1dr0-
cate extras were satisfied with large sales and
small returns.
No trouble has occurred thus far in handling
the new forces OF Stereotypers Interference
from the strikers was thought probable and
vigilance. was used in every office to guard
departments OF the various newspapers was
watched last night by detectives in plain
clothes. armed and ready to resist any attack.
The same programme is being observed to-
night. There has been no overt act on the part
OF the strikers, nor is there likely to be. They
are in q hopeless minority. and 1t would be
worse than useless for them to attempt vio-
lcncc. 1t was intended that the morning papers
should print eight pages Tomorrow, but this
evening the publishers decided to issue only
four pages. as they did to-day.
