TELEGRAPH OPERATORS STRIKE.
Chicago Men Walk Out in sympathy
With Los Angeles Brethren.

Chicago.-The telegraph operators
employed by the Western Union in
Chicago, went on strike Thursday
night at IL o'clock. The trouble was
precipitated by the Los Angeles strike,
which was begun two days previous.
The local executive board of the
Commercial Telegraphers union met
and passed resolutions requesting the
men to refuse to work with non'union
operators employed in Los Angeles.
When the men were notified OF this
step all operators employed in the
overland division of the local office re-
fused TO work longer with the non.
union men on the other end OF the
wire.
After the 200 men and four women
quit work they gather in front of the
building where the telegraph Office is
located and for half an hour filled the
air with cheers and Whistles, but the
police were given no cause for the eX'
ercise Of their authority.

CENTRAL AMERICA
IS TIRED OF WAR
Delegates May Meet in Washington
to Sign Agreement for Perma-
nent Peace in Southland.
Agreement Would Carry Intervention
Clause in Order to Prevent a Rope
tition Of the Failure OF Past
Conventions Between Little
States Always at War.

Washington Most of the represen-
tatiyes of the Central American re-.
publics who remain in Washington or
| vicinity, called upon Acting Secretary
of State Bacon on Thursday, this be-
Ing diplomatic day, to talk individual.
" with him about the project for
general convention of delegates from
their countries in Washington to en-.
deavor to reach an agreement likely
to result in permanent peace in that
quarter of the world. With all par.
ties willing to enter upon such con.
ference, the difficulty appears to lie
I'm the unwillingness of any to take
the initiative on account OF personal
pride. Each of the little republics
thinks that it has grievance against
it's neighbor and in the absence OF
any apology as a condition precedent
TO an international gathering, would
have the other party make the first
advances. The state department
here, supported in principle by the
Mexican government, is extremely de.
sirous of furthering this conference,
but Is estopped from itself formally
proposing meeting by fear that its
motives might be misunderstood and
1t be suspected of selfish designs and
unwarrantable Intervention.
It is understood that all of the min.
listers are in constant communication
with their home governments upon
this subject, and as one OF them
said, there Is reasonable ground for
hope that within very short time,
through an exchange of notes or per-
haps an informal personal meeting be-
:ween the ministers here, an agree
ment can be reached for the conven.
ton of the delegates In Washington
some timo next winter.
There have been other conventions
between these countries looking to the
preservation Of the peace but all were
fatally defective in lacking a compul.
sorry feature. So II has been suggest
ed that II another treaty Is drawn In
Washington as the outcome of the pro
jected convention, II shall clothe Am
erica and Mexico with the positive
duty of intervening In the interests Of
peace In cases of disagreement that
do not yield to treatment by the or
binary methods of diplomacy.

age this winter due to the general in.
crease of the consumption of coal by
reason of the great expansion of all
lines of industry all over the country
and also to the fact that some mines
are not able to turn out as much as
they might because of lack of labor,
and then there is the shortage OF
freight cars to be reckoned with. And
as to this car shortage, ! want to say
a word In reply to the charge that the
railroads are wholly to blame for the
car shortage. The charge is unjust in
many respects. Numerous causes con.

know nothing, and they are causes for

Mr.. Hartman deprecated the recent
tendency of rate legislation. Said he;
I'm the development and improve
ment of railroads one factor of vital
consideration is the relative cost of
material and labor and the scale of
rates for traffic. Labor Is scarce and
much higher paid than ever, material
is often hard to get and costs more,

increased This is not a consideration
which holds out either to the people
or the railroads the brightest pros
