STRIKE OF TELECRAPHERS
FROM SEA TO SEA
Operators Walk Out in Offices
From Atlantic to the Pacific
FIFTEEN THOUSAND QUIT WORK
Tremendous Tie-Up Temporarily
Crippled Almost Every Industry
All Over the Country-Associat-
cd Press Employees Stopped.


New York. City.-New York and
the whole United States felt the par
alyzing effect of the general strike
throughout tho country of the opera
tors of the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph Companies.
The electric keys spread the strike
like lightning. The last messages
sent by thousands of operators wer-
transmissions of orders to quit work.
At 100 o'clock in the afternoon
the New York men went out. There
were 5000 Western Union and 1000
Postal Telegraph operators idle in
the city. The step was taken in spite
of the unions vote to defer action.
But the men claim the company
forced the move.
Other cities throughout the coun-
try which had not yet been affected
quickly followed the lead of New
York. Virtually everything west of
Pittsburg and throughout the South
was tied up.
Throughout the country 5000
operators left the keys. More than
a hundred cities and towns were af-
tected and, with one or two excep-
t ons, they included all the important
places in the United Statec.
The great news-gathering system
of the Associated Press wa COM
pletely paralyzed 1T 100 i'll the even
ing. Its operators in every place
from New York to the Pacific Coast
left their keys promptly on the min
ute. With the exception of a few
short messages, the big news organ
lzatlon sent out no general news dis
patches to the various newspapers.
1t sent out statements that it was
putting in operators and distributing
news, but the news did not arrive in
the newspaper offices.
Prior to the final Gripping of tn
news service by the strike in the AS
ISOLATED Press Offices, dispatches care
from various cities, West and South,
concerning the strike, but all were of
the SAM tenor. They pointed to a
general tie-up in Buffalo, Pittsburg,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis,
San Francisco and all kinds of cities,
big and small, between these points.
On the second day of the tie-up,

dent Percy Thomas. Chief among
them wGs Boston, where the going
out of nearly all the Postal and West
ern Union operators paralyzed the
telegraph business in the East.
The commercial men were ordered
out throughout New England and
quit as soon as the order reached
them.
Even the Government was affected
by the strike. Although there are
three leased wires from Oyster Bay
and n Western Union wire in the
White House, business was inter
rupted. The Western Union wire was
silent. When the operators used the
other wires they were interrupted
by operators between Oyster Bay anG
Washington cutting in and calling
"Scab" and "Chump" on the wire to
the men sending and receiving. Bust
ness was continued under these diff.
cuIties.

Artificial Camphor.

Chemists in Europe are now MAX
ing a pretty good imitation of cam
phor out of a substance extracted
from turpentine. Their product is
not a perfect reproduction of the true
article, as is Synthetic indigo,
but it will serve some of the
same purposes as the fragrant
gum of Formosa. Celluloid, for
instance, is composed largely of
camphor and gun cotton, and it is
said that synthetic" camphor can be
used in making that compound. In
asmuch as the imitation cannot yet
be produced cheaply, it is not finding
a large sale, but in time it is to be
hoped that it's cost will be greatly
reduced. If the process of manufac-
ture should then be sufficiently i'm
proved to make artificial camphor
chemically identical with the cam
phor of nature, there will be occasion
for wide rejoicing.

Bean Trust.

Cleveland, Ohio, sends out a report
to the effect that Francis Wing, of
that city, a former judge of the
United States District Court, has Or
ganized a 100000 bean trust,
which he says is immune from legal
attack. The company, which is COM
posed chiefly of Cleveland capitalists,
will be called the Interstate Products
Company, and Judge Wing says it
will have a practical monopoly of the
Dean industry. 1t has taken options
upon nearly every elevator-three
hundred in all-in southern Michi-
gan and New York, where a large
proportion of the bean crop of the
United States is grown. Since the
company will actually own the ele-
vators it will not be in conflict with
the antitrust law, the organizers
think.-California Fruit Grower.

DR.. Biggar. "Mr. Rockefeller made
me a remarkable patient, an ideal
one. Although he had a terrible
weight of responsibility then, he
dropped everything to get healthy.
"A few years afterward we were

The Cedar and the Pine.

Recent study of the structure of
the celebrated cedar of Lebanon is
regarded as proving that it has come
from the same parental stock as the
pines, and that it represents the
most primitive form of the Abietinaee

great geological age of the Cedrus
family has long been known, and
now it has been shown that the wood
of the cedar root possesses vestiges

PRIESTS CALM STRIKERS
Removal of Troops and Police
Averts Conflicts in Belfast.
Mr.. BurrelI, Irish Secretary, Says the
Government is Fully Alive to the
Religious Troubles.

Belfast, Ireland.-An experiment
was tried in the strike of dock la
borers and carriers to prevent a recur-
renee of the rioting in which troops
fired on the mob and killed three per-
sons.
While the city bristled with bayo-
nets all day, it was announced that
the authorities had decided to keep
both the police and troops outside the
disturbed area, the priests having
agreed to look after the people. The
priests declared they could maintain
order more effectively than the sol
diers if the hated "Peelers and Lob-
s%ters," as the police and soldiers are
called, were kept out of sight.
The troops and police withdrew.
The experiment worked with much
marked success. While there was
much effervescence among the strik-
ers, no actual outbreak took place.
Large and excited crowds collected
Ind assumed threatening attitudes,
)ut the exhortations of the priests
ind other peacemakers prevailed, and
he streets of Belfast were practically
deserted.
Joseph Devlin, Nationalist mem-
Der of the House of Commons for
Belfast, assisted the priests in pa
trolling the disturbed area, urging
The people to keep the peace. At the
same time the troops were held in
readiness in their barracks.
The Belfast Trades Council has en-
rolled a special body of men de-
Scribed as Trade Union Police" who
assisted the priests in preserving Or
der. Their efforts were successful.
In the meanwhile Sir Antony Pat
rick mcdonnell, Under Secretary to
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, has
been in conference with the local Of
ficials and the labor leaders with the
view of arranging a settlement of the
disputed points, and another confer
enc has been held for the same pur-
pose between the master carriers and
representatives of the men.
London.-When questioned in the
House of Commons the Irish Secre-
tary, Mr.. Birrell, said:
THE Government is fully alive to
the urgency of this matter, and is
doing all it can to secure a settlement
of this most unfortunate strike"
In the trouble at Belfast a cleav-
age on religious lines was developed.
The Protestants cheered and sup
ported the troops, while the attack
ing parties apparently were com
posed of Catholics.
1t is pointed out that British sol
diers have not been called upon to
fire on British subjects in the United
Kingdom since the strike at the
Featherstone c~ollieries, fourteen
years ago.
