Chicago is becoming alarmed over
tho local industrial outlook, and with
good reason. For some weeks ro.
ports have crept out that tho city is
about to lose many Of its manufacture
ing industries because Of tic over in.
creasing conflict between capital and
labor, and this unhappy state of
affairs seems to be on the increase.
Many of the leading financiers de.
cline to invest their money in im-
proven,onts for fear of having the
business tied up for months by tho
senseless strikes OF the laborlng peo-
ple. And rather than have their bust,
ness thus paralyzed many of the
owners of big plants are preparing to
leave the city and seek quar- ters else
where. Chicago is in all truth a
union stricken city.

Unanimously Put to Death by Colom
bian Congress.
Bogota, Colombia, August 12, via
Buena Ventura, August 1.-THE Pan
ANA canal treaty has been rejected
unanimously by the Colombian con
gress
1t is reported that President Mario
quin has been authorized by congress
to make a new treaty which will not
require further ratification, but that
the basis given for the treaty will prob.
ably prove unacceptable to the United
States.
1t appears that one of the objections
to the ratification of the treaty which
carried weight in the senate was that
the Panama Canal company did not
come to previous arrangement with
the Colombian government for the
transfer of the concession.
The action taken by the senate more.
ovr eseems to have been influenced
by the communication made by the
American minister in which the intro.
duction of any amendments to the
treaty was objected to.

STOPPED Fits SPEECH.

Atlanta, August 1s.-Socialist J. Is,
Fits was stopped by the police last
night, few minutes after he had be.
gun an address ON the street, and was
served with copy of charges for
making a public speech without per.
NIT from the mayor
Fits had announced in a dodger
that he would test the validity Of the
city ordinance which made a permit
necessary before a man could speak
on the streets of Atlanta He claim
ed that the law was unconstitutional
and was aimed at free speech.
A permit was granted him few
days ago, and was revoked by the
chief of police, under instructions from
the chairman of the police board and
the mayor. The grounds for revok-
ing the permit was that Fits talks
were of a character to cause breach
of the peace
The section of the city code with
which Fits is charged with violating
says that no person shall make
political speech on the streets without
permit from the mayor and general
council, or the mayor and chairman
of the police board.
Fits has engaged the services of
an attorney and says be will carry the
case to the supreme court of the Unit
cd States ON the ground that the city
ordinance Is violation of the first
amendment to the constitution of the
United States.
The trial promises to be very in.
