STRIKE ISoRDERED,
Leased Wire Operators Told to Quit
Regardless Of Their Contracts.

New York. Oct. 7.-"Stfike all private
wires at y noon on Wednesdays, Oct. g.
This order, long anticipated was given
by President Ahearn of the local Te1e.
graphers' Union. and is one of the
strokes by which the striking operators
will begin their final campaign against
the Western Union and Postal companies
The order relates to all press operators,
brokers' operators and the other tele-
Eraphers who have hitherto worked
through the strike because the concerns
employing them had private contracts
with the local union.
BIT President Ahearn in a long mani
festo declared that the time has come
when neither agreements nor anything
else must be allowed to stand in the way
of the strike. and he demands that the
men quit their keys on Oct. regard
less Of contracts
Whether the sanction of President
Small has been given the manifesto does
not state. But President Ahearn insists
that the Chicago private wire men will
be called upon to strike on the same date
and he urges all the other locals through
out the United States and Canada to take
similar action at once. so that there will
be general exodus on Oct. g.
The strikers heard Saturday that Ma
tional President Small did not do as we'll

French Notable Seems Willing to Stir
Up q Disturbance.

New York, Oct. 7.-Abbe Felix Klein.
one of the most prominent members OF
the clerical element in France. who Is
making a study Of American social and
economic conditions, has returned from
an extensive tour Of the West. Speak
ing Of his observations Able Klein said:
II was much impressed while on the
Pacific coast with the anti-Japanese
feeling existing at Vancouver and
throughout British Columbia. which Is
far more intense than the feeling on
the American side Of the border. At
San Francisco the anti-Japanese ele-
ment is comparatively small and one
hears little of active agitation against
the japanese. On the other hand l Wis
tied Vancouver shortly after the anti
Japanese riots, meeting the japanese
counsel and going through the Japan
csc quarters. Everywhere there was
evidence of intense hostility. 1t was not
a question of labor. but of race. Tho
people have taken up the shihnleth of
Canada for the Canadians and they
feel that the exclusion of the yellow
race is essential for their sclf-preserV&-
ton.
Before coming TO America ! shared
the views Of q considerable clement in
France and throughout Europe THAI
the japanese question might lead the
United States into war. But personal
investigation through the Middle West
ard the Far West has completely
changed my views. The people of the
West gre not thing of such . thing and
scout the very idea of war. Even in san
Francisco which / supposed in Europe
to be the center of anti-Japa acse hos
tilty there was much less feeling thar
I found to exist in the British colonies
to the Forth.
This Canadian branch of the Japan
csc question is really of MUCK import
ance to Tic United States, as japan
can hardly expect more from the Unit
Cd States than she cxacts Of Canada
where the opposition to the JaDa rese Is
far more acute. Moreover. British pub
lie opinion can well afford to moderate
its views on San Francisco's opposition
to the Japanese since British colon
is show ing greater anin.osity TO tbs
japanese than any Of the states On tn:
American side of the border"

they ever would have done from the
