REFUSED TO WORK WITH NON.
UNION MEN EMPLOYED IN
LOS ANGELES.
TOOK MATTERS N THEIR olHn AAADs
Left Their Keys at Midnight and
Cheered as They Filed Out
OF the Office.
(By the Associated Press. }

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-The tele-
graph operators employed by the
Western Union in Chicago, went on
strike tonight at ~ o'clock. The
trouble was precipitated by the Los
Angeles strike which was begun two
days ago.
Tonight the local executive board
of the Commercial Telegraphers' un-
ion met and passed resolutions re-
questing the men to refuse to work
with the non-union operators en-
ployed in Los Angeles. When the
men were notified of this step, all
operators employed in the Overland
division of the local Office, refused
to work with the Los Angeles nom
union men any longer. When this
announcement was made Night Chief
Harry Price ordered all who refused
to work to leave the Office. He then
went into other divisions and re-
quested the men to go into the Over
land division. In every case he was
met with a refusal, until over 20
men had been sent home. The griev-
ance committee of the union called
on Price and notified him that unless
every man was reinstated by mid
night every other union man in the
Office would be called out. This was
refused and promptly at midnight, by
a prearrangement, whistle was
blown and every operator employed
in the main Office with the exception
of six wire and loop chiefs, including
Night Manager Price and his two
assistants, left their keys and with a
round of cheers, filed out of the Of
fee. The men employed by the COM
pany at the various morning news
papers had been notified of the con-
templated strike, and they also quit
work.
The local officers of the union
tonight stated that the day force en-
whom belong to the union, would re-
fuse to go to work in the morning.
This will also include all branch Of
fees throughout the city.
The national officials of the union
spent all day today in an effort to
prevent the rank and file" of the Or
ganization from taking matters in
their own hands and calling strike.
The men for weeks have maintained
sullen attitude toward the COM
pany. Inc CuiCdSO DOyS were uio-
satisfied with the basis of settlement
reached at the time the strike at San
Francisco was called off. Ever since
then they have been visiting the Of
flee of National Secretary Russell,
seeking information. Today his Of
fee was crowded all day with opera
tors looking for news regarding the
peace conference in the west, but
were given no satisfaction.
II am waiting to hear from Presi-
dent Small; until 1 hear further l can
say nothing" he said.
Such replies, together with the fact
| that the men believe that President
Small submitted to defeat at San
Francisco, was what prompted the
executive board of the local union to
take action tonight.
| It was under these conditions that
the strike was called without the
sanction of the national officials.
After the men had quit work, Sec
! retary Russell refused to talk about
the controversy except to say that the

LABOR DAY
PROCLAMATION
State of Nevada; a proclama

State of Nevada; a proclama-
tion by the governor:
The law of the state has
ordained and designated the
first Monday of September in
each year as Labor day,
thereby giving it equal prom
inence with other days set
apart, respected and observ-
ed by our people. This dis
tinction was evidently not be-
slowed for the purpose of
pandering to the interests or
prejudices of any one class or
occupation, for every one is
supposed to labor in some ca
pacity, not only for his own
interests, but also for the
public good. 1t Is certainly
apparent that the intention is
to honor labor in all pursuits,
recognizing capital as a very
essential part, to be respected
In the harmonious adjust
ment of all differences that
may arise.
Now, therefore, | respect
fully invite the people of this
state to give due observance
to the day by assembling to-
gether in friendly council,
and discussing conditions in
a dispassiOnate way, and not
be Influenced by infiamma-
tory speeches made by pro-
feSsiOnal agitators from any
source whatever. The differ
ences heretofore encountered
have been controlled and
compromised without perma-
nent loss in value, and with
out violence to human life.
This conservative method ex-
isting between capital and
labor has given confidence in
the future progress of Ne
yada beyond the proud posi-
tion now held. To command
respect, law and order must
always control. Let us con-
tinue to be just to each
other and all will prosper.
In witness whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and
caused the great seal of the
state to be affixed. Done at
Carson City, this I'd day of
August, 1907.
JOHN SPARKS,
Governor.
Attest: w. G. Douglass,
Secretary of State.

COMMITTED SUICIDE
WHILE TEMPORARILY CRAZY

1t was developed at the inquest in
to the cause of the death of Carl Pc
terson, theminer who was found dead
near the Boston Ely, that he had cut
his throat while temporary insane.
1t seems he got into some trouble on
the Fourth of July and that he was
never the same after that affair.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was as follows:
1--WE, the jury summoned to in
quire and investigate into the death
of Carl Peterson, find that the de-
ceased came to his death by wound
in the neck, inflicted by razor and
with his own hand"
The funeral of the unfortunate
man took place yesterday afternoon
from the funeral parlors, the inter,
ment being made in Ely cemetery.
The deceased was a member of the
Order of Eagles, but that fact was
not ascertained until after the fu-
neral had taken place, as he had
never informed any of the local
Eagles.

MISTAKEN FOR BURGLAR
AND SHOT BY WIFI

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.-This
afternoon Edward Farquhar, an iron
worker living in the Potrero district,
went out upon the neighboring hills
to engage in a pistol practice with a
new weapon he had secured. When
he returned home he tossed the pis-
tol aside, remarking that it was no
good, as he could not discharge it.
About 9 o'clock he stepped outside
of the house. When he was return
ing indoors his wife seized the pistol
and fired bullet through his heart
The woman was taken to prison in a
hysterical condition, saying that she
had suddenly awakened from sleel
and believed that her husband was
burglar.

THEODORE Y. HALSEY
DYING At HOSPITAL
WAS TO HAVE APPEARED IN
COURT YESTERDAY-CASE
POSTPONED.
(By the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.--Theo-
dore V. Halsey, the telephone COM
pany official now on trial in the SUI
periOr court for alleged bribery of
supervisors, is dying tonight at the
st. Francis hospital in this city. Hal
sey was taken ill Wednesday with
what was diagnosed as severe intes-
tinal trouble and as his condition be-
came worse, a consultation of physi-
clans was held on his case. Appen-
dicitis was suspected and he was
taken to the hospital this afternoon
for surgical operation. The ap-
pendix was found to be in gangre-
neous condition and this grave phase
of the trouble in conjunction with
his impaired vitality, due to pro-
longed nervous strain, caused the
surgeons to believe that there is lit
tie hope for his recovery.
Halsey was to have appeared in
court today, but his physicians re-
ported his disability and the case was
postponed until tomorrow.

INQUIRY As TO SAFETY OF
MISSIONARIES 8 TEACHERS
(By the Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-At the
instance of American friends of the
missionaries in Persia, and particu-
larly of the teachers of the American
schools for girls at Urumiah. the
state department has requested Am
bassador Leishman at Constantinople
to make inquiry as to their safety.
Today a cablegram was received
from the ambassador stating that he
has been assured by the sublime
porte that all possible measures
would be taken to safeguard Ameri-
can interests in the territory in dis
pute between Turkey and Persia and
that orders to that effect had been
sent to the Turkish military COM
manders. Mr.. Leishman thought 1t
unlikely that Urumiah would be in
vaded by the Turks for the reason
that 1t was outside of the disputed
zone and the Turks have been given
strict orders to confine themselves to
their own side of the line and keep
out of Persia. He also reports the
presence of maruading bands OF
Kurds and that revolutionary parties
with arms are adding to the dis
turbances. The Persian government,
however, is able to control the situ-
alton. There appears to be no dan
ger of an attack on Americans.

THREE CONVICTED
FOR ATTACKING WOMEN
lBy the Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Three men
were convicted, two pleaded guilty
and one was discharged in the court
of special sessions today in cases
involving attacks upon women and
children inthe last few days.
Phillip Young, negro, pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for year.
Mike Gargone, SO year old shoe
maker was sentenced to serve three
months in the penitentiary.
Harry Williams, aged 54 years,
pleaded guilty. He and two others
will be sentenced later. The prompt
disposition of assault cases is believ-
ed to be having the effect of restrain
ing others criminally inclined.

the minds of the natives against all
Europeans. The situation in various
coast towns Is worse. The natives are

Moorish authorities have practically
no power over the situation.

DENY THE STORY IN Toro

A report was current on
the streets yesterday that
there would be no celebration

There is absolutely no
foundation for the story-in
fact every detail of the days
sports has been arranged.
and a day of much sport is
anticipated.
The report, evidently en-
anating from a mind desirous
of hurting the celebration,
is not true, and we have the
assurance of the entire COM
mlttee that the program will
be pulled off as per schedule.
Any talk to the contrary is
only calculated to mislead,
and should be given no Gre
dence whatever.
