ACUTE STAGE IN
 PRINTERS STRIKE
Five Hundred Men Are Affected By the Action Against Typothetae
 In Chicago.

Chicago, August 31.-An acute stage has been reached in new labor war in Chicago. Nineteen of the larger job printing houses of Chicago were without union compositors this evening, the re- suit of a series of strikes inaugurated ty Typographical Union No. IS against members of the Chicago Typothetae, the purpose of the strikes being to compel the Typothetae as an organization to ac- cede to demands for the 'closed shop2 and that eight hours constitute days work. Further strikes are expected in case other houses undertake to do work for concerns at which strikes have been begun. Pending such assistance to strike affected firms. the strike leaders pro- nounced the strike complete and declared the outcome a matter of endurance, a spread here or to other cities not being contemplated for the present at least.
 Not counting other employees in the nineteen printing houses involved, print CTS to the number of nearly 300 are in- terested. The strikers claim that eight large establishments will remain neutral, not accepting work for houses where strikes are in progress, and that in these eight and elsewhere 25OO members of the union will be at work helping to sup port funds for strike benefits
 At the union headquarters today it leaked out that union printers from various parts of the country are taking advantage of the offer of Chicago's strike affected print shops to come to this city in the guise of strike breakers, their travelling expenses paid. After reaching here the unionists desert instanter.
