WORLD WIDE STRIKE
rs NOW THREATENED

Chicago, Aug. 21.--A worldwide
telegrapherss strike Is imminent 1t
has not been generally known. but 1t
developed at 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 view OF
bringing about working alliance be-
tween the English and American tele-
graphers. They have so far succeeded
that 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
cablegrams from America.
The inevitable consequence OF this
action would be the forcing OF the Eng4
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 manned by nom
union men the action would be sure to
precipitate a general strike OF all the
telegraphers in England.
That the strike would then extend to
the European continent and spread
over the entire world is certain.

MONKEYS IN BALLOONS,
HUMANE AGENT ACTS

Kenosha, Wis. Aug. 21.-There will
be no more monkey balloon ascensions
in Kenosha II the orders of j. H.
Karnes, the agent for the local humane
society are carried out.
For the last three or four weeks one
of the members of the Simian tribe
has been making ascensions at a local
pleasure park, and 1t Is claimed that
the monkey is forced to take all sorts
of risk. Karnes notified the members
of the park board today that the ex-
hibition must be stopped.
IF any of you fellows want to make
monkeys of yourselves and go up In a
balloon, all right, but ] am out to pro-
tect that God-made monkey against
cruelty"

FIRST TRAIN GETS
A WARM WELCOME

Deadwooo, s. D.. Aug. 21.-With the
arrival of the first train over the new
Deadwood- Pierre line Of the Northwest
ern Monday evening, this city held q
general celebration. Plans for the event
had been completed last Saturday at a
meeting OF the Business club. when
President Ayres urged that the opening
of the new territory to Deadwood be
made a cause for rejoicing that would
be remembered In the city's history.
Accordingly Colonel George and w. H.
Bonham were sent to Rapid City Sun
day evening to meet the incoming train
there and secure the names Of all pas
sengers and officials who happened to
be on the train. These will be entered
in the official records of the city.
At Rapid City the train and engine
were decked with flags, and warm
welcome was given the first set Of
passengers who made the trip over
the new road. Whistles footed and
guns were fired in honor Of the event.
When the train reached Deadwood
the celebration was even more stren-
large crowd of citizens and business
men and a host OF small children
armed with everything that would
make a noise. The train crew and
passengers and officials OF the road
were then lined up in the depot and
a photograph taken Of the group,
after which all were escorted to the
Franklin hotel and rendered a ban
quet by Manager Hamilton. Two
bands escorted the visitors through
the city and aided the children in the
welcome. Whistles of mills and fac
tories were blown for over five min
utes, while the parade to the hotel
lasted.

,lation from Mayor Adams and the
Deadwood Business club to the mayor

Washington, Aug. 21.--WhiIs no pes

has practically given up hope, az least
Tor tne present, Of effecting threuuh arr

Chicago. Aug. 21.-The developments
IN the telegraph strike Monday COM
prised the calling out of the leased
wire operators in stock brokerage
houses and the issuing OF number OF
conflicting statements regarding the
progress Of the strike by the oficials
OF the union and by those OF telegraph
companies. Both sides claim to have
the strike won.
Working Force Increased.
The telegraph companies however,
are certainly increasing the number Of
men at work, and both OF them had on
the board OF trade larger number of
operators than at any time since the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS VI the StTlke.
Early in the day the union announced
TO number OF brokerage houses that
they would. give them till o'clock
to sign the scale or strikes would be
called. Six Of the largest houses in the
city refused to sign and their men were
ordered out In one of the offices, how
ever, three of the men continued at
work. Many OF the messenger boys
who struck on the day following the
walkout of the operators returned to
work.
Peace Workers Give Up.
All efforts by outside parties looking
toward adjustment of the trouble have
been abandoned and the contest to all
appearances has settled down to
waiting game on both Sides
At the offices of the Associated Press
It was stated that ITO men are at their
Keys In the eastern and central divi-
sions. Five OF the best men in the
service returned to work during the

the United States Is new weapon
Ceiected by President Small. Of the
telegraphers' union, for fighting the
telegraph companies. He announces
within two days every cable operator
In the country will be on strike.
Another plan set on foot is one
for securing cash. huge strike fund
being the thing most needed now. said
the leader.
small has set the amount at $4,000
900.
The strike probably causes more
distress In South Water street than
anywhere else in Chicago. The lack Of
and immediate losses. The shipment
OF eggs, fruit and vegetables, the
movement OF poultry and the dispOsi-
.tion OF goods In transit ordinarily. are
done by telegraph, and even the long
distance telephone service could not
prevent delays, which meant the loss
OF money TO commission men and ship
pers. The perlshaple nature % this
goods requires quick communication
and the system that had been built
up by the telegraph companies could
not Immediately be replaced. A great
er part OF the business OF Chicago
commission men has been In produce
which was ordered directly from the
producers to the consumers; the loss
OF telegraph service made 1t necessary
to go back 10 the slower business OF
merchandising. The Chicago butter
and egg board OF trade estimated that
last weeks losses, due to the strikes
will amount to $250,000 and rough es-
Inmates of the losses on fruits and
vegetables and on poultry put the to-
tai losses up to 100000.

An anxious man dashed into, the

Telegraph company and demanded an

out OF the booth after his conversa-
tion. he ran into a friend. "How's your
horse?" asked the latter. "Oh. he's
much better" was the reply. I've just
been 'phoning my wife about him"
But most OF the long distance mes
sages announced deaths or the gain
or loss or fortune In the stock market.
During the early days of the strike
more people In the United States were
talking over the telephone than at any
other one time since the Instrument
was invented. say old timers hare.
