SOME MEMBERS WROUGHT UP
William D. Haywood Visits Chicago
Press Club.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-William D. Hay
wood, secretary of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, visited the Chicago
Press club and some of the members
are much wrought up about it.
An emphatic protest addressed to
the board of directors was prepared at
once and circulated for signatures. A
vote Of censure is asked for the mem
bers who brought Haywood into the
club. This will be considered at the
boards meeting Friday night. Consid-
cradle commotion was caused during
the noon lunch hour when Haywood
appeared at the club in company with
Seymour Stedman and F. Roderus.
He was introduced to a number and
was greeted in various ways. Sted-
man and Roderus then took their
guest to a table in a corne where
they had lunch.
Later the following petition was cir
culated, signed by twelve members
and presented to the directors:
"We, the undersigned, respectfully
protest to the board Of directors of
the Chicago Press club against the con-
tamination of the clubhouse precincts
by the presence of n w. D. Hay
wood, whom We believe to be the in
stigator of many atrocious murders
and who at least certainly is an 'un-
desirable citizen The fact of the ac-
quittal of Haywood does not vindicate
hiEn in public opinion nor render him
a fit person to be allowed inside our
clubhouse. We would ask that a vote
of censure be passed against the men
who were responsible for bringing him
into the club

raphers' Union-Both Sides Conf
dent Of Victory in Pending Struggle.

Chicago, Aug. A.-General Secre-
tary Russell predicts that before night
The strike of the telegraphers will be
general throughout the United States
and Canada. He said:
"All of the members of the national
executive board are in the city with
the exception of President Small and
he has wired his sanction of any step
we may take in the direction of calling
a general strike. A meeting of the
executive board will be held shortly
to take up the question Of a general
strike and in my opinion by nightfall

States and Canada who belong to the
union will be called out"
Labor Commissioner Neill, Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor and some other
labor leaders held a conference with

Commissioner Neill declared that
there was nc immediate indication Of
q settlement.

FREED BY rRIBEsMEN.
General MacLean Said to Have Been
Set at Liberty.

0SS at .sOStsy
Tangier, Aug. 14.-According to ap-
parently authentic advices received
here Kaid General Sir Harry MacLean
is free. The reports state further that
the kaid was turned over by the ban
dit Raisuli to the Elkmes tribesmen
and that the latter gave him his lib
erty. 1t Is not known when he will
reach this city.
Kaid MacLean was captured by the
bandit on July 2 and since that time
has been through experiences which
seldom fall to the lot of Europeans,
even those who elect to make their
homes among semi-civilized or barbar-
ous people.
During the early part of his captiv-
ity MacL1ean's case was taken before
the British foreign Office, but as he
had renounced his allegiance to Great
Britain and had deliberately taken
service with the sultan of Morocco it
was held there that direct interference
to effect his release could not be at
tempted, though it was said that Sc
we're reprisals would be attempted if,
he were put to death by the tribes
men.

NOT SERIOUSLY AFFECTED
Associated Press Operates It's Wires
in Most Cities.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-The Associated
Press opened it's main leased wire
circuits out of Chicago at z a. m. On
the big trunk line from New York to
Chicago, taking in the cities of Phil
adslphia, Baltimore, Washington.
Pittsburg, Cleveland and Detroit, only
the city of Toledo was missing when
the wire opened. The Southern cir
cult to indianapolis and Louisville
was working to those two cities. The
Northern circuit, covering Milwaukee,
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and Su-
perior, was opened with the regular
staff of press operators copying at all
those cities.
The Southern circuit was opened
from Louisville to Nashville, Birming-
ham, Chattanooga and Memphis.

BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT.
Little Change in Strike Situation at
New York.

New York, Aug. 14.-While the
striking telegraph operators claim the
strike against the telegraph companies
will be successful the officials of the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies state that they are han
ding their business rapidly and that
numbers of men are returning to work.
No disorder has been reported by the
police and the strike is proceeding
quietly. Officials of both telegraph
companies said that they had sufficient
operators at work during the night to
attend to the despatching of kilograms
and that they would make every effort
to fill the places of the strikers. All
during the night pickets Of the strik-
ers patrolled in front of the buildings
of the telegraph companies and sought
to turn back strikebreakers. Their
methods were perfectly orderly and
those who did not heed the persuas-
ions of the pickets were permitted to
proceed to the offices Of the company
without m~olestation. There was a
gathering of striking operators in City
Hall park, opposite the Postal Tele-
graph building, but the crowd soon
dispersed.
The office of the local union
swarmed during the day with striking
operators eager to obtain information
regarding the progress of the strike.
The union officers told the men to
create no trouble and assured them
that If they remained out the COM
panies would be forced to meet their
demands. It was, said that the opera
tors employed by the brokerage
houses would not be affected by the
strike, but that the brokers' operators
would be assessed to help the strike
fund.
The Associated Press started it's
west wire to Chicago and intermediate
points at the regular hour and was
moving a full report.
The Associated Press east circuit
from New York to Boston and New
England points also opened on time
with a full force of operators.

Railroad Men Asked to Handle West
ern Union MESSAGES,

Pittsburg, Aug. 14.-Because an op-
orator employed by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company at Gallery, Pa,
near here, is said to have refused to
handle a Western Union telegram
and may be discharged the strikers
here say that the Order of Railway
Telegraphers is likely to be involved.
A report of the matter reached the
Western Union officials here and they
at once laid the affair before Superin-
tendent of Telegraph Charles Selden
of the railway company at Baltimore.
AS yet Mr.. Selden has taken no action,
but some of the strikers declare that
If he discharges the Gallery operator
that every member of the Order of
Railway Telegraphers along the Bal
timore and Ohio will strike.
District Superintendent Saylor Of
the Western Union treats the Gallery
matter lightly and declared that no
trouble would grow out of it as far
as the Order of Railway Telegraphers
is concerned,

NO CONQUEST INTENDED.
French Army in Morocco Will Not Be
Reinforced.


Paris, Aug. Administer of Foreign
Affairs Pichon has given an interview
to The Matin in which he says:
"The government will send nc more
troops into Morocco. On nc account
do we intend to embark upon a work
of conquest"
The Matin publishes a dispatch
from it's correspondent at Casa Blanca
saying the fighting between the ma
tives and the men of General Drude's
command lasted all day Saturday, but
quieted down Saturday night and Sun.
day morning. A renewal of the at
tack, however, is feared, as another
caid with achievements
has arrived. The warshfps continue
to shell the Arab positions.
The Matin publishes a dispatch from
Saffi, a seaport on the coast of Moroc-
CO, saying the town is surrounded by
natives and that the European resi-
dents are preparing to defend them.
selves. The situation at Safi Is de-
clared to be critical.
Fee has learned of the bombard'
ment of Casa Blanca and the feeble
ness of tie government leads to the
fear that trouble will break out there.
In a message dated Sunday Admiral
Philibert says the tribesmen are re-
doubling their efforts and that the sit
uation is disquieting. Mazagan is
threatened. Four hundred tribesmen
have arrived before the town. 1t is
reported that several Europeans are
being held as hostages at Mazagan to
ensure protection against pillage.

Demands.

st. Paul, Aug. 14.-The general ex-
ecutive committee Of the Order of
Railway Telegraphers was in confer
ence up to noon with officials of the
Great Northern railroad. Demands
for a revision of the rules were pre-
sented. The men say they are pre-
pared to back their demands with a
declaration of intentions"
At 8 p. m. the same committee from
the Order of Railway Telegraphers
met the Northern Pacific officials and
presented the same demands that
were made of the Great Northern.
All brokers in St. Paul voluntarily

Refuse Commercial Messages.

Minneapolis, Aug. H.-Telegraphers
on the 500 line have absolutely re-
fused to handle commercial messages.
which cuts off the entire territory
covered by that line from telegraphic
communication. The striking opera
tors claim that the operators on the
Rock Island road had taken the same
position. This brings the Order OF
Railroad photographers into greater
danger Of becoming involved in the
strike.
