Chicago, Sept. 10.-Friends of Sena-
tor William Lorimer are angry because
officers of the Hamilton Club yielded
TO cx-President RooseyeIts demand
that Lorimer stay away from last
nights banquet to Colonel Roosevelt.
They call attention to the fact that
when President Taft was here Senator
Lorimer was a conspicuous guest at the
various banquets and receptions and
the president seemed pleased to have
the senator close at hand. 1t remained
for Colonel Roosevelt to denounce the
methods by which Lorimer was elected
to the Senate. The senator's friends
say they are only waiting the cue from
Lorimer, und if he resigns his member
ship in the club, they declare they will
DO likewise So far he has not given

Theodore Roosevelt to attend and ad-

A general stoppage Of work in the Lam
cashire cotton industry is threatened as
result of sectional disputes, and it is

Twelve thousand miners at Cardiff

90 out they will soon be followed by

troubles. the employees OF the Great
Northern Railway are hopelessly dis
satisfied with the administration OF
the affairs Of their union. They may
strike any day.
All over England the rank and
file of the union men are showing
defiance Of their leaders, the spirit OF

The situation Is such that the govern
ment leaders make no concealment Of
their alarm and are preparing to call
into conference the labor leaders and
