Clergy Had to rurn .wAiters:

CHICAGO, June 12.-The entire force employed in Kinsley's restaurant has gone on strike. The demand made here, as in other places was for the absolute recognition of the union and an assur- ance by the employer that none but union men would be employed. Terms would have been reached on the ques- tions of hours and wages had not the union made its demand for absolute recognition. The strike came at an in- opportune time for number of Metho- dist ministers who were holding ban quet. The clergymen were forced to leave their tables and wait upon them selves.

EAST ST. LOUIS FLOOD.
The bikes More Than Sufficient to
 Protect City.

Protect City.
 EAST ST. I49IIS, June J2.-S Several persons have fallen from Tafts and from overturned boats and been drown ed, but not life has been lost by the inundating water at East St Louis. If all the dikes surrounding the flood ed district were to break at once there would be no loss of life and the city would not be flooded in the residential district, while there would be not more than two feet of water in the business portion.
 The people have been so thoroughly warned that they could escape from the most dangerous of places at the first menace, and even if the water came in it could not form an over whelming deluge.
 The diIres are more than sufficient to protect the city from damage, and the crisis Is over. Martial law has not been proclaimed and will not be. The police are amply able te preserve order in the ordinary manner, and, although there are militiamen here, the soldiers are simply doing police duty.
 Hast St Louis, which has for week been thrown into a turmoil, is rapidly regaining normal conditions in the busi- ness districts not under water, al- though it will be weeks before the ef- feet of the flood is offset.
 In order to prevent curious outsiders from collecting in the city and to pro tect exposed property from thieves the police department has issued passes by the hundred to accredited citizens. No others are allowed to pass into or from the city without special permit.
