THE STRIKE AT READING, PA.
A thousand Machinists Are Expect
ed to Join the Reading Rail-
wny Shops strikers.

Reading, Pa, June 22.-The strike
of employees of the Reading rail vay
shops, which was begun Friday noon,
has not spread to any other depart
ments in this city and they are work
ing as usual.
Large numbers of people gathered
about the car and machine shops Fri
day evening for the purpose of count
ing the number of men who had rot
gone out. At the former place thS
crowd included many who had quit
work, and at the latter some of the
1000 machinists frankly told their
friends that they were going out in a
day or two. About $50 of these are
union men, but the leaders say all
the men but few laborers will go
out when they are asked, and that
the request will probably be made on
Monday.
The number on strike in the com.
went to work as usual, but the men
said they were simply waiting for the
call from their national organization.
The number on strike in the COM
pany's shops now is nearly 1000.
Early next week 1900 men may go
out in addition to 1900 Reading Iron
Co., workers who went on strike sew
eral weeks ago and are now locked
out.

SMUGGLING OF CHINESE

Nogales, we're taken into custody by
special agents of the treasury and
secret service operatives. Other ar.
rests are expected to follow within
day or two. 1t Is said that with two
or three exceptions the whole Gus

at Nogales are involved.
Some time ago an oflicial OF the
treasury department. having Nogales
as his headquarters, wrote to the de-

lieve that the otilclal force at that
point was corrupt and that Chinese
in large numbers were being smuggled
across the border for q consideration.
A secret service operative was sent
there at once and plans laid to secure
evidence against the persons under
suspicion. Several Cinnamon were
furnished with money and sent on to
buy their way through the oficial cor.

dlfYiculty, the price demanded being
from $50 to 5000.
