is no presentation OF facts. no statement

justice OF their cause. 1t is simply an APP

Labor strikes have often been called in

CHICAGO. Aug. 7.-Ruinous discrimina-

of the Northwcster Steamship Company,
has decided them to withdraw from the
transatlantic route the company's steam
ships. The withdrawal will be mad on the
return of the two steamships TO Chicago
from Liverpool. Similar action will be
taken with the company's other two steam
ships unless the alleged extortions shall be
abated during the six weeks interval that
will elapse before the steamers again make
this port and the route will be abandoned
until such time as satisfactory rates can
be arranged. AS high as 81 on the 500 has
ance TO Liverpool from this port and the
average rate has been not less than $l.25,
at which figure there is a discrimination
against the Chicago company of about $500
a cargo. or $1,000 a round trip.
Lines running to Europe from New York
or Montreal are able to secure insurance
as low as 20 cents.
