TELEGRAPHERs WALK OUT
President Small Declares Strikers

Go With Them.

Chicago, August 1G.-Coupled with
the declarati. II Of President S:rall, of
the I" 'sr..i ! ers' UnioA, Tia. he and
'hls followers are ready to starve in
the gutter before they will surrender
to the telegraph companies, the strike
situation in Chicago to-day became
even more serious with the threaten
e! walk-out of Il number of allied
tradesmcn. President Small declared
that the operators never would sur
render to the telegraph companies
and that the only possible way to Sc
cure their return was through the tcle
graph companies granting the de-
mands Of the new wage scale. "Thc
men and women of the Photographers ,
Unlon are ready to starvc. They will
sleep in the streets if necessary, and
will go with them before they will
surrcnder,' said the chief.

vious days. The Western Union and

ded to the companias' troubles, a
number of wires having been crippled.
The telegraphcrs' war became more
general when the seven hundred oper
ators working in packing companies
throughout the country left their
keys. Another walk-out occurred in
the private wire systems of the Stan
ard Oil Company. Two hundred Stan
dard Oil men left their posts when
they received the call from President
Small, ordering a general strike.
1t was said at union HEADQUARTERS
that all the telephone and telegraph
companies had met the demands of
its men for a 25 per cent increase in
pay, and that the question Of the
eight-hour day would be settled with
out trouble.

New York, Aug. 17.-The early

consequent shifting from Chicago to

about a better situation from the
strikers standpoint.
TheIs were few developments to-
day. One Wall street brokeraqs

eight operators today and when the
latter quit Immediately filled their
places with non-union men.
The Western Union and the Postal

night that they are doing business

that the situation was satisfactory.

to Visitors.

Washington, Aug. 17-Commis
sioner OF Labor Charles p. Ncill az
rived home today from Chicago,
where he went on vain effort to cf-
1ect settlement Of the telegraphers
strike. He decided not to see visit
ors today and as soon as he reached

ing to the pickets' report, and at
tempted to induce the Postal tele-
%raphcrs stMding there to return to
work before formal notice of dis
charge should be sent them with their
pay checks. He was unsuccessful.
New York, August 16.-Intcrest in
the telegraphers' strike centered to-
day i'll the probable effect of the gen-
eral strike order issued by President
Small, OF the National union, which
called upon all operators employed by
the commercial telegraph companies
and those working private and leased
wires not under contract to go out.
throughout the East there were few
II any response to the call. This was.
explained OIL the ground that all op-
orators who would now strike had al
ready quit work, and here the strike
order was given Importance only as
affording official sanction to the ac-
tlon already taken by the strikers
without the previous approval of or
consent Of the national officer
Both the Western Union and Pos
tai companies claimed not to have
been affected by President Smal.'s
call and to be working their wires
better today than before since the
strike was declared. Business, it was
said, was again moving smoothly.
The Associated Press was not af-
fected adversely. On the contrary
several of the men who had left the
service in the East returned to work
after the strike order had been pro-
mulgatcd.

Tuesday of last week marked
another anniversary of the birth
day of Mrs. p. f. Black, Of East
WALNUT street, this city. Early
III the day-even at the breakfast
hour-her family seemed more
than ordinarily solicitous for
Mrs. Backs comfort, and went
50 far as-rfrst to suggest, and
later to lnslst-that any one who
had spent tifty-one years in this
world needed a day off; and, that
in justice to herself, she should
go down and spend the day with
her son viii and his wife. For
once, she yielded to persuasion,
and went. Scarcely was she out
of sight of home until her daugh-
ter Susie Mrs. Joe Sewers
her son Michael, and the rest OF
the family at home, got busy, and
by the time Mrs. Black came
home IN the evening, she found
her house full of jolly friends and
neighbors, each with a hearty
congratulatlon and an appro'
pirate gift.
The necessary refreshments
had been prepared in abundance
They were served in due time
and very delightful evening was
spent. "Those present" were

The following preamble and res
olutions were adopted by McCon-

their regular meeting on March /,
on the death of Geo. b Daniels,
Esq.
Conspicuous in the activities of
life in McConnellsburg, Pa, until
February 10, 1907 was the stall
wart, manly form of our now de-
ceased Brother George b. Dan
iels. His greeting was as ever
most cordial, his voice clear and
ringing and the promise of more
years of active service us bright
then as it is with any now in this
lodge; but the uncertainty of the
hour that awaits each of our num-
Der is not more clearly defined
than in this visit of the silent reap
er, as for the first time IN the year
1907 the roll of Lodge No. 744, |.
o. O. f. records the loss of one OF
its honored Past Grands.
In the decease Of Brother Geo.
b. Daniels our order mourns the
loss of one of its staunchest mem
bers. In the Lodge Room he was
always alert, enthusiastic, and in
terested in things pertaining to the
welfare of the order, and the pleas
ure of its members, hence the more
the call is felt.
WHEREAS, We stand with heads
bowed in tribute to the memory OF
our deceased brother, and recog
nize and appreciate his valuable
association; therefore be it,
Resolved, That we lament the
severance of the earthly ties that
bound uS together, and bow III
submission to the divine will of
Him who ruleth over and directeth
all.
Resolved, That this Lodge ex-
tends to his bereaved widow and
fatherIess children our most fra
ternal sympathy, and that we con-
dole the severance of this earthly
tie.
Resolved, That the Charter OF
the Lodge he draped in mourning
for period of thirty days anc
that the members of the lodge
wear the usual badge of mourning.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be attached to the re-
cords of this Lodge, that a copy
be sent to the family of our de-
ceased brother and published in
the newspapers Of this county.

Mr. and Mrs. G.. w. Fisher, of
Thompson township stopped at
the Fulton House for dinner last

from John Hege's sale at Clay
Lick, Franklin county. Mr.. Hege
is Mrs. Fishers brother, and
George being an experienced sale
clerk, was over keeping the ac.
counts In shipshape Mr.. Fish
err says Mr.. Hege had good sale
and he thinks farmers do not
have any great cause to be cheW-
ing the rag about hard times.
Mr.. Hege, George says, began
farming eight years ago without
any crpital except pair of stout
arms, and a determined head.
Last spring he made sale to re
duce his stock that brought him
a couple of thousand good dollars
and, then, ON the 25th of February
of this year, Mr., Hege made a
second sale that amounted to So,
10000. Mr.. Fisher says the
stock brought good prices the
horses from $3.50 to S210; two
year.old colts, from S81 to S126i
and a nine months old colt 800.
Cows brought from S31 to $41i
helfers, from $40 to S37; calves,
from S11 25 to $l525. Hogs sold
for 1925 per cwt,
George says Mr.. Hege has 3d.
600 to show for his eight years
farming.
