STRIKE MENACES THE
CHICAGO NEWSPAPERS

Chicago, Aug. 21.-A new labor
trouble has arisen in Chicago. The
city is facing the possibility Of waking
up some merning soon and finding it
self unable to buy any of the English
daily newspapers.
Negotiations which have been pend
Eing since January l between the Chi
Ecago Newspaper Publishers associa-
ton and the Chicago Typographical
union, No. 16. in connection with the
new wage scale, reached an acute stage
when a conference Of committees of
both sides having plenary powers failed
to come to an understanding and the!
printers served an ultimatum that they.
would no longer teanporize in the mat
ter and that the publishers must take
the consequences If concessions We're
not agreed on speedily.
Following the breaking off of nego-
tiations, the executive committee of he
Typographical union called Il general
meeting in which the question Of a
strike VIII be decided on. AS the closed
shop prevails In all the printing trades,
q strike OF printers would take out ali
OF the other mechanical departments.
Publishers have asked that the
printers accept a reduction in wages
II grant the open shop. They offer
s2l a week for night work and s19. so
for day, as against so and So cents an
hour. the present scale. for ad men.
For linotype work. 40 and 40 cents an
hour is offered by the publishers, as
against s24 n s27 a week.

WORLDWIDE STRIKE
is NOW THREATENED

Chicago, Aug. Ala worldwide
telegraphers' strike is Imminent. 1t
has not been generally known, but it
developed at a late hour last night that
the officers OF the Commercial Tel
egraphers' Union Of America have been
carrying on negotiations for more than
a year with The Telegrapher Clerks
association Of England with a view Of
bringing about q working alliance be-
tween the English and American tele-
graphers. They AVE sc far succeeded
thai sympathetic action in the pres
ent strike is assured. Any attempt to
man the American cable stations at
Canso. North Sydney, and Hearts Con-
tent, Nova Scotia. will result in the re-
fusal of English operators to handle
cablegranls from America.
The inevitable consequence of this
action would be the forcing Of the Eng
lish companies to use all the means
within their power to insure transmits
sion Of the messages.
Should the British end Of the trans
Atlantic cables be M by non
union men the action would be sure to
precipitate a general strike of all the
te~legraphers in England.
That the strike would then extend to
the European continent and spread
over the entire world is certain.

able guests OF the exclusive Hotel Carl

district, have turned the place into a
gambling house for poker and bridge,
Acting Chief of Police Woodruff, with
a detective and Magistrate John w.

a raid on the house shortly after mid
night and arrested Charles 2. Zazzelli,
the alleged proprietor.

in the place; but Zazzeui, protesting
that he was innocent OF running a
gambling place, was forced to get bail
of $500 for his appearance before the
magistrate.
The raid caused a sensation in the
hotel and in the Fashionable district,
| where wealthy P~hiladelphians make up
a social circle most exclusive of any in
the resort. Evidence in the case was
furnished by Herman l.. Welsh, q pri-
waite detective, supposed to be employed
by the ~reforners, and members of the
organization say that they have evil
dence sufficient to have the arrested
man held for the grand jury.
Visitors "Trimmed."
The raid is the first ever made on
any Of the fashionable hotels of the

serted that big games are run in many
obstetrics and that young and wealthy
visitors have been trimmed" of thous-
