EXTENDING ITs INFLUENCE
Chicago Teamsters' Strike Looks Bigger
Than the Coal Trouble.

Chicago. June 2-BuSineSS Agent
George Il. Golden. of the transfers
union, announces that he will notify the
| drivers of all factories supplying the
packers with boxes that they are not
to handle the products of the factories
If the strike continues. President JAS.
ii. Payne. of the United Order of Box
makers, promised Golden that if this
were done he would call out the 800
union boXmakers if an attempt We're
made TO supply the trade with boxes
through non-union drivers.
The situation throughout the city
was estimated TO he as follows at u
p. IN. Saturday: Proprietors Of 40 per
cent. of the LOCO meat markets in the
city had entirely exhausted their sup
plies. OF the go restaurants in the
city it WAS said that 40 per cent. would
be without meat for their customers
by last night. All the meat markets
conducted by Jews, where kosher is
sold. closed down Saturday night and
no attempt will be made TO open them
while the strike shall last.
This leaves 5000 Jews i'm Chicago
without their regular meat supply. The
large hotels are SurDlied for a few
days, but some of chem will he in
trouble by tomorrow night if there
shall be no change in the present con-
ditionS.
Chicago, June 2.-The most serious
and at the same time the most hope
full phase of the teamsters' strike de-
veloped today. The Great Northern
hotel was cut off from its ice supply
in the morning because it patronized
Gown Brothers, who sell meat for the
big packers. The hotel at once can
celled its contract with the big inter
ests and Will obtain its supply
through the minor packers who have
signed the union agreement. The
strikers say this is simply one token
of their strength and forerunner of
their ultimate victory. On the other
hand arbitration promises to solve
the strike question and bring the diff
ficulties to a speedy termination. To-
day Frederick w. job, chairman of
the Illinois state board of arbitration,
was in conference with Secretary w.
l.. Turley, of the National Transfers
union, for over an hour. preparatory
to bringing the teamsters and pack
ing interests and the department
stores whose drivers are dissatisfied |
into an amicable agreement.

If the union succeeds in shutting
down the pumps the mine properties
will suffer damage that may reach
into millions of dollars, and if the
employers should be able TO keep the
water out of their workings without
the aid of organized labor it means
that the power of the union in the
anthracite region has reached its limit,
and that all help in the effort TO force
the mine owners TO grant the demands
of the great army of l47 900 men must

Strike Will BE Nearly Unanimous.
1t is claimed by the union that near
~ all of the pumpmen and tiremen will
quit work, and that about three

privately admitted by company Off

cans in the alley. They came across
the can which contained the powder.
No one knows how it was ignited, as
one of the boys SAYS he hit it with a
rock, while the other says a match
was scratched on the can. The eX-

WEAK WOMEN
ARE MADE STRONG
siO x-RAY EXAMINATION FREE

There il nothing more distressing
in this world than the multitude of
ills and weaknesses peculiar to wo-
men. They are myraid i'm number
and as numerous in the characters
tics they display. Men, being differ
emily constituted, cannot understand
these female complaints and perhaps
they are not to be blamed for appar-
cnt indifference to them. But what
is worse than to see young woman,
just in the budding process, tied down
by weaknesses, by pain indescribable,
by sensations mat drive the patient
almost wild. Thousands of women
have suffered in this way, uncom-
plainingly or cOmplainingly, as
may be their nature. and
thousands are still suffering.
From the time they enter upon real
womanly life until their hair is gray
and their steps enfeebled by advanc-
ing age. they go through fortunes be-
side which those of the inquisition
were mild. In some cases they are
treated with the utmost sympathy.
Kind relatives and friends do all in
their power to alleviate the suffering
and to make them forget their pains.
L
of comfort and a method of escape.
Electricity and Natures remedies
are my treatment. L use nothing
but natures own methods. The hor-
rors of the knife and the scalpel are
RELOCATED to the background as being
no longer necessary.
THERE Is y REMEDY
For the human nervous system out
of order just as there i for the rail
way. When the wires are down or
crossed or the battery is displaced
workmen do not begin pouring poison
down the track into the cars. They
attack the wires themselves. That is
just what L do. BY my electric treat
ment / restore the nervous equilibrium
and son the hectic flush or the pale
and WORKOUT look make way for the
temperance of the color of health.
Weak women again see sOmething in
life beside pain and torture. BY my
method of electric treatment there is
almost instant relief and in a short
time complete recovery. Do not de-
lay and suffer longer, but consult me
free of charge, including N-Ray eX-
animation.
DISEASES OF MEN
Every form of trouble resulting
from indiscretion or disease, treated
scientifically. Loss of ambition, fail
ing memory, loss of will power,
sleeplessness or any other condition
due to nervous exhaustion brought
on by breaking the laws of nature.
Consult the doctor on these points.
All business confidential. Names of
patients and their troubles never pub

S. E. R ADDRESS.


Samuel r. Morss yesterday read a paper
before the students of the State Schoo for
Librarians. Mr.. Morss's topic was French
Newspapers" He dwelt on the history of
French journalism prior to the reign Of
terror and down to the present time. Mr..
Morss said the French press had not al
ways enjoyed the freedom it does now, be-
ing at one time more restricted than the
press of Russia. There was a time during
the history of France, said Mr.. Morss, that
a newspaper with a standing Of any kind
could make or kill a government. To-day
in France, and especially i'm Paris, he said.
newspapers spring up from no one knows
where, the pages of which scintillate with
paragraphs containing wholesome thoughts
and are filled with the terse epigrams for
which the French people are famous. These
journals live some for a day, others longer.
but in a short time all fade away. During
their life, however, they have planted the
seed for some future political party. Mr..
MorsS gave the names of several such pa
perS, and also the names of the papers of
the government which print the official
news. Writing for the latter, he said. are
men famed for their literary attachments
Mr.. MOrss's paper was the only one read
yesterday. When the school opened there
were twenty-eight students registered. The
work in the morning and forepart OF the
afternoon was occupied by Miss Hoagland.
principal of the school, in explaining the
work.
