CHICAGO CRISIS
KNOWN TODAY
STREET CAR MEN VOTE ON
STRIKE QUESTION EARLY
Referendum Begins at O'Clock This
Morning and All Are In
Hopes of COM
promise
LRv Associated Press. ]

CHICAGO, Aug 4.--With 10000 street
car men voting tomorrow on the ques-
tion of walkout. the attitude of trae-
tion and city officials tonight was that
of hope that a strike will be avoided
by Il compromise. The referendum will
begin at 4 O'Clock in the morning, and 1t
is expected that the men will vote in
favor of a strike.
The arrival tonight of p. T. Bergoff, a
professional strikebreaker. who figured
in the recent Philadelphia struggle,
seemed significant Bergoff said that
he had been asked to come to Chicago
by the presidents of the street railway
companies and that he thought he could
handle the situation with $500 men. He
said he had $50 men on his payroll, most
of them in New York and Philadelphia.
In the event that the threatened
strike on the surface street car lines of
Chicago materialize. the public may
still depend upon the four elevated
lines, according to statements made to-
day by the presidents of these lines.
These officials say their employees
are working under a satisfactory agree
ment, which has a year or more to
run.
"The effect of a strike on the sur
face lines" said Mason r. Starring,
president of the Northwestern eievat
ed would be merely to increase the
traffic on the elevated lTdlIlS' IneIe
is not the slightest chance of our men
going out in sympathy"
There are nearly 10000 miles of sur
face lines In Chicago, and a tie-up,
despite all the elevated roads could
do, would entail the utmost inconven-
fences to particular sections not reached
by the overhead systems. 1t may cost
the city millioi of dollars in loss of
business.
Hope to avert the strike is still held
out in the attitude of the city officials,
the state board of arbitration which
will arrive here tonight and by many
of the union leaders themselves. Among
the latter it is insisted that w. B.
Mahon, the international president, be
called here at once. They say he would
have a better chance of reaching a
settlement now than later.

Alaskan waters, was carried out of her
course and hurled on hidden reef by
the tidal currents in Peril straits, thir

day in a sinking condition.
The destroyer which is in command
of Lieut.. M. S. Davis, was going at
three-quarters speed when she hit the
rocks. The boat ran high out of the
water and nearly turned turtle. Men
were thrown from their hammocks and
several were' badly bruised by their
fall.
Two holes were punched in the star
board bow of the boat, and the pro-
peller shaft was bent. The boat was
hung up on the reef for a short time,
but the rising tide lifted her off. The
pumps were kept going constantly to
keep her afloat, and by the use of col
lision mats she was able to limp into
Skagway several hours behind her con-
sorts.

BE TOLERANT OF OTHERS.

Don't forget that your neighbor,
though he differs from you politically,
may be just as honest in his con.
victions as you are; that this is a
free country where freedom of
opinion is one of the biggest of the

of that form of government without
it. Be tolerant, therefore, or rather
not tolerant but rational, patriotic
and good-natured. Stand by your
convictions and let your neighbor
stand by his if he is so disposed.
Keep cool. Argue politics if you
will, but do it calmly and reasonably,
and bear this fact always in mind,
that just as you have about made up
your mind unaleerably as to the
way in which you will vote, ninety.

ulation have done the same thing.
