White Residents OF Onancock Appeal
to Neighboring Towns for Aid.

Baltimore, August 10.-The Sun
has special dispatch from Parksley
Va. which says that reports have
been received there to the effect that
Garland Belote was shot and serious
ly wounded tonight at Onancock by
a negro named Uzzell, said to be the
editor of a paper published at that
place.
The reports also say that large
numbers of negroes prepared them
selves for rioting and went into am
bush and that the white residents OF
Onancock were entirely unprepared
to defend themselves and were asking
aid of Oakley, Parksley, Accommac,
Tasley, and other nearby towns, sew
eral of which had sent help; that
four white men leaving Onancock
in a hack were made targets of fifty
shots fired by negroes at a grocery
store in the suburbs and that it is
feared all four were killed and that
special trains have been ordered by
officials of the New York, Philadel-
phia and Norfolk railroad TO car
ry to the citizens of Onancock from
Pocomoke City. Maryland, and Cape
Charles, Va.
There is said by the dispatches
to be great excitement in Accommac
and Northampton counties, Virginia
and in the neighboring parts of Mary
land.
A late report is that negroes fired
a number of shots through the win
dows of a train passing through Tas-
ley, but no one was hit.
Philadelphia Aug. 11.-Informa-
ton received direct from Parksley,
Va, by the Associated Press con-
firms the reported trouble at Oman
cock. Va
The four men who left Onancock
in a hack and who were believed to
have been killed arrived safely at
Tasley. Their baggage was riddled
with bullets. The identity of the
men could not be learned. The only
connection Parksley had with Oman
cock tonight was a single telephone
line which was closed at II p. m.
At that time it was said that the
white people at Onancock intended
to attack the negroes at daylight this
Sunday morning.

A telegram was sent to President

gineer the strike from Chicago. The
telegraph companies are preparing to
meet the issue and declare that they
will fight to a finish. They declare
they have been tempOriZing with the
union for months and that they will
hold no further negotiations with rep

OBSTACLES IN TRIAL.
Witnesses Could Speak No English
And Interpreters Could Do Little


Better.
Raleigh, n. c., Aug. 10.-The at
tempt to examine the alleged poems
in the trial of E. A. Kline, the rail-
road contractor, in the federal court
at Greenville today, encountered
numberless obstacles.
The witnesses could speak no Eng
lish at all, and the interpreters could
do little better. 1t puzzled the Judge
stenographer and everybody else to
get an Intelligent idea out of the
mass Of words.
Zeb Bland, who was at the rail-
road camp when the foreigners were
arrested, testified that when the war
rant was read to the men it was sug-
gested that the men who wished to
remain in camp should step to one
side of a line, the remark being made
at the same time that the others
would be sent to jail.
Difficulty was made in identifying g
the poems by the members by which
they were designated in the warrant.
The trial will be resumed Monday.

Chicago, August 9.-The five hun
dred operators of the Postal Telegraph
Company struck tonight at o'clock.
This. with the LOO men out from the
Offices of the Western Union through
out the city makes 1000 men now on
strike in Chicago.
At a meeting OF the operators held
this afternoon a resolution was unani-
mously adopted declaring that every
Operator in the city having a union
card should be called out.
A short time after the meeting had
dissolved demands We're presented to
the officials of, the Postal Company
asking for an increase Of 25 per cent
in wages, an eight-hour day and reoo<
milton of the union. If these were nG
passed upon the strike was to follow.
1t was the general understanding
among the operators that the demands
could not be granted at once and the
move was evidently intended to bring
about the strike at the present time
in order to help the Western Union
men if the demands were not granted.
Under the wording of the order all the
operators working for brokers and
commission houses will be called out
in the morning, and business generally
will be badly handicapped.
1t was said tonight by some of the
operators who were present in the
meeting that the intention of the union
was to cripple the telegraph facilities
of Chicago in every direction and to
do it so completely that public senti-
ment would be brought to bear heav1-
ly on the two telegraph companies,
an din this manner force settlement
between them and the operators.
The strike at the Chicago Office of
the Postal Company was attended by
no signs of disorder. When whistle
was blown, the operators rose from
their keys with a cheer and walked out
There was not the slightest evidences
of i'll feeling on either side. The men
after reaching the street gave repeat
ed cheers and then dispersed.
The strike throughout the day has
been marked by absence of trouble of
any kind. Chief of Police Shippy in
formed the leaders of the strike this
afternoon that he would not allow any
picketing or any violence and he was
informed that none was intended, and
that every effort would be made to
keep the men peaceahle.
The general situation throughout
the west became more serious as the
day heightened.

w. |. Capen, superintendent Of the
Postal company in Chicago said his
company was making better progress
than had been anticipated.
"A number of our employees have al
ready returned to work" he declared,
and others have signifed their 1nten-
ton of returning"
National Secretary Russell, Of the
Telegraphers Union said:
I'VE are highly pleased with the
situation, and, no matter what sort
of assertions the telegraph officers
not doing any business. They have a
few chiefs and inexperienced te1e-
graphers at work; but, as far as the
companies being able to handle the
public business is concerned, they are
merely trying to mislead the public.
We know for an actual fact that IN
Chicago there are not fifty operators
who are working for the commercial
NAL conditions the number amounts
to 1850. We are in this fight to stay
and we must have recognition, or our
union might as we'll go out of
business"
All day committee was preparing
demands which will be submitted to
the telegraph companies on Monday as
a preliminary in ordering a general
strike. The demands in substance pro-
vides for equal pay for equal work,
and an eight hour day. the abolition

companies to furnish typewriters and

men If the companies refuse to &C
cede to these demands, the men IN
New York ard all other cities, where
they are still at work, it is decared to-
night, will be ordered - refuse to work
with non-union men.
The strikers, it was said tonight,
were planning to cripple the long dis
tance telephone service. There are
thirty operators employed in this
branch Of the service in Chicago.
These men are expert wire men and
are used in making up circuits. The
strikers declare they all belong to the
union. These men have been told to
see whether the telegraph companies
are sending messages by long distance
telephone that would ordinarily be
sent as kilograms, and if so, to refuse
to allow such messages to DE handled.
The executive committee of the
Chicago union will hold a meeting to-
morrow to consider the advisability OF
ordering the $50 men employed on
leased wires in Chicago to quit work.
If such a plan is put into execution
and the men respond to the order it
will hamper the Chicago board Of
trade and all persons or companies
who have leased wires systems.

proper consideration is not given
them by the company.
New York, August 1O.-Whether or
not the strike of telegraphers will
reach the east probably will be deter
mined tomorrow, when the local branch
of the Commercial Telegraphers Union
will decide whether or not they will
continue to work with non-unfOn
operators, number of whom have
been employed by the Western Union
and Postal companies and other cities
where strikes are on.
At the meeting tomorrow, which
practically every union operator in the
city will attend, decision will be
reached, as to whether this shall con-
tinue. There appears to be strong
feeling among a large element of the
telegraphers that the New York local
should join in the strike. There is a
conservative element in the union
which desires to wait until the last
moment before adopting drastic meas
ures, but it is extremely doubtful if
this element will be able to outweigh
the strike sentiment which is so wide
spread among the men.
On the outcome of tomOrrOW's meet
ing will perhaps depend the entire sit
uation in the east. 1t is said that II
the New York operators decide to re-
fuse to work with nOn-unfOn men IN
the west the strike will rapidly spread
to other eastern cities.
President Joseph Hearn OF the local
union admitted today that there was
every probability that the strike would
reach New York. 1t would, he thought
become general throughout the coun-
try A meeting of the executive board
of the local branch of the union was
held tonight, but President Abearn
would give ont nothing regarding any
