CHARGE DISCRIMINATION.
Chicago Cooks and Walters Inaugur-
ate Another Strike.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Waiters and cooks
employed in several down town lunch
rooms were called out on strike early
today. The number of men responding
to the cal! was small. owing to the
small forces on duty at the time This
IS the first move of the walters and
cooks union in the renewed 1ght
against the Chicago restaurant keepers
association which two months ago tied
up the Establishments controlled by
them and which resulted in the grant
ing OF an increase in wages of 10 per
cent to their employees.
IN general statement issued by the
cooks and walters the reason assigned
for the action is alleged discrimination
on the part of the arbitra zion board in
tnelr decision relating to the question
of hours and wages
Within an hour after 30 committees
led by officials of the Hotel and Restau-
rant Employees alliance left their head
quarters with instructions to call out
every restaurant employee except those
in the few establishments which granted
the strikers demands last June. Ten
restaurants and lunch rooms were more
or less crippled. The cooks responded
quite generally to the strike call but in
several places the strike was but par
TALLY effective, many of the walters re-
fusing to walk out.

ABOUT to End.

Achin says the Brussels correspondent
of the Times. cabling by way of London
is to the effect that Panglima Polem and

many years two chief rebel leaders, viii
formally submit to the Dutch in the
course of the next few days
The colonial troops of the Netherlands
have been at war with the Achins al
most continuously since the year 1878.
The cause of the war was the refusal
OF the sultan to recognize the suzerainty
OF the Netherlands over which long ne
sotiations took place. The sultan sent a
secret embassy to the United States di-
plomatic agent a Singapore to appeal
for the military aid of this country and
at the same time he dispatched commits
sioners to treat with the Dutch govern
ment.
Encouraged by the hope of aid from
Great Britain and the United States the
sultan rejected the terms offered by the
Netherlands The war thus begun has
cost the Dutch over 5000 900 600 and the
lives of several thousand soldiers One
expedition after another has been sent
to Sumatra. but as soon as the revolt
has been apparently crushed it has bro
ken out again. The Dutch have tried
by every means to end the war, which
has crippled the finances of the Dutch
Indies.
