STRIKING HATTERS
WILL REMAIN OUT
But Nine Union Men Vote
To Return to Work at
Newark.

NEWARK n. J., July 16-Of a total
of 1884 votes cast yesterday by the
striking hatters in this city and Orange.
but nine voted to go back to work
without the union label.
This emphatic statement of their
position is regarded as a signal victory
for the contention of John A. Moffitt,
president of the United Hatters OF
North America, who had maintained
that the matters are determined to stay
out until their demands are granted.
BY a strange coincidence. the vote on
the proposition of returning TO work
was taken just six months since the
matters walked out The strike dates
from January Is.
A significant fact was the large turn
out of women. Nine-tenths OF the
women members Of the unions voted
when the balloting began in the Orange
armory. ethe hatter's formed into tie
letter "U" symbolic of their union. The
men marched around with banners.
From the time that the bailoting started
IT was apparent that the noes" were
almost unanimous. Some of the men
cheWed up the Yes" coupons and
stamped on them.
When the women who are employed
by the Trimble Hat Company came 10
the hall on their way from work, they
were cheered. After the count had been
taken II sz7as plain that Mr. Moffitt was
know what became of the seventeen
men," he said. who told the grand
jury they wanted to return to work
without the label" he said.

Damage by Earthquake Will
i Far Exceed Estimates in
Earlier Report.

ATHENS, Greece, July 16.-Belated re-
ports coming in from the Ellis province.
in Southern Greece. indicate that the
loss of life from yesterdays earthquake
viii far exceed the estimates placed in
earlier reports, which declared that
only twenty had persisted.
Late messengers. who have managed
20 reach some point from which they
could communicate with the outside
world, declare that the loss Of ltfe was
enormous, and that the figures when
, fully compiled will be staggering.
The shock occurred at O'Clock yester-
day morning, but as the villages are in
$he mountains, in the southern part of
Greece, in sparsely settled territory,
there are few methods of communica-
ton with the outside world and the
news Of the disaster is just coming out
Many villages in the province are in
ruins, and their inhabitants are buried
under their wrecked homes. Those who
survived are dying from hunger fer
IL is almost impossible to rush food and
clothing TO them, owing TO the i'm
passable condition of the mountain
roads. The government is taking hur-
ried steps 70 rush aid to the scene OF
tse disaster but owing to the lack of
railroad facilities, speedy commmuni-
cation with the devastated district is
almost impossible.
Only meagor details OF the disaster
have come out. but what has leaked
through indicates that the loss of life
viii be heavy.
The wrecked district abouuds in
mountains. and the topography of the
country conforms almost exactly to that
of Sicily.
No news has been received Of the
fate OF the two largest cities in the
district. Olympia and Pyrgos.
Amalia, little town near Olympia
was totally destroyed. and many of its
inhabitants killed and injured Havarl,

bodies have already been taken from
the ruins there, while more than 100 Of
the injured lie under the ruins of that
