Order with the De Forest Co.
Washington, June 2S.-Admiral Man
ney, chief of the naval equipment
bureau. today entered into an agree
ment with Abraham White president
of the American DeForest Wireless
Telegraph Company for the acquisition
by the navy of Ave of the longest wire
less telegraph circuits in the world up
to this date, two of them being one
thousand miles in length.
The navy has felt keenly the neces-
sity of a wireless connection between
its naval bases at Guantanamo. Guile
bra and Key West, realizing that in
the event of hostility with a foreign
power the existing cable system would
be the first point of attack. The neces-
sity of protecting the canal zone has
enlarged the problem of finding
secondary means of communication
and the general board has learned a
lessons from the insulation of Port Ar
thur in the present war.
The contract calls for the supply of
the government of wireless instru-
ments guaranteed to maintain reliable
service on these circuits, Key West to
Panama, 1000 miles; Porto Rico to Key
West 1000 miles; South Cuban coast
to Panama. 720 miles; Pensacola to
Key West. $50 miles; South Cuba to
Porto Rico. 500 miles
The service proposed is exceptional
In that the wireless currents must ira
verse not only the ocean. but lean over
considerable islands, such as Cuba and
Hayti, and in the latter case and per-
haps In others run a risk of crossing

The Merrick road and the railroad

Fighting Against n Reduction in
Wages. Not for an Increase.
Chicago, July 13.-To-day bore out
predictions of the packing house pro-
prietors that the big strike would not
cause a stoppage of operations. In
the great abbatoir district things
moved slowly, indeed, to-day, but they
moved.
All the packing houses reported that
they were slaughtering a little. Every
department was said to be doing some
work not much, but some, and was ex-
pected to increase the activity to-mor-
row. Loading and shipping was in
progress, though heavily curtailed. as
was the buying of cattle.
Some hundreds of new workmen
were hired and put to work in the
places which had been vacated in
thousands.
On the other hand, the strike spread
somewhat by the action of teamsters
in considerable numbers, but ostensi-
bly, acting as individuals, refusing to
handle products touched by newly
hired non-union workmen. This re-
fusal was usually based on the time
