Last night meetings were held by every telegraphers' union in the United States and 1t was unanimously voted to light the strike out until they won.

Indignation sgains. she former president is in- tense, and there is DO question but what Small will be summarily remoy- cd from office. All during the day hundreds of telegram. congratulsting and commenting the executive board en its action in suspending Small have been received from every corner of the United States- Small's action. instead of bringing the strike to a close. has acted as boomerang to the companies who took this means of set ting .he difficulties and made every union man ,he more determined to fight until their demands are met with. It Is also likely that the news paper and broker telegraphers, who are under contract. will take the ac- tion they would have done had not Small prohibited them from doing so. and break their contracts.

No change was made by the board of
equalization in the assessed value of
personal property and of lots. The
total reduction by the board in the
value of lands is. S101.64S. Reductions
and additions to the assessed valua-
ton of lands was made by the state

Railway Assessment Increased.
The total railroad assessment will be a
little over $100,000,000, being an in
crease of more than S5,000,000 over
the railroad assessment of 1906.
The assessment of the capital stock
of corporations aggregate $10.60S, leo,
which is a decrease of approximately
81. 100000 from the assessment ON this
class of property last year. The de-
crease is accounted for in the 'increas-
ed assessment by the local assessors of
Cook county, which necessarily left
less intangible property to be as
sessed.
