Chicago. February 2s.-All of the Chicago morning papers will be pub 1ished tomorrow in abbreviated form because of differences between them and the Typographical union. In con- nection with the matter the Chicago Publishers association tonight gave out the following statement for the morn ing papers of March l:
 "On February 3, 1911, James M. Lynch, president of the International Typographical union; Huge Miller, an officer of the International Typograph- ical union, together with H. N. Kel- log. labor commissioner of the Amer ican Newspaper Publishers association; Herman Ridder, president of the Amer ican Newspaper Publishers association, and George c. Hit, publisher of the Indianapolis Star, the six forming the international board of arbitration to adjust the scale of wages for printers employed in the offices of daily news papers of Chicago. met in this city and made an award, establishing q scale of wages for members of the Chicago Typographical union, No. 16, employed in the daily newspapers of Chicago.
 ''The award went into effect at once In all of the offices. After 1t became effective a question was raised by printers employed tn the offices of tn e Chicago American and the Chicago Ex- aminer, the printers claiming that they were entitled to be paid on the basis of 131s ems per line. whereas the actual type set measured less than IS ems per line. The columns of the Chicago Examiner and the Chicago American are slightly narrower than the col umns of the other Chicago newspapers Therefore, in demanding compensation for type set on basis of wider col umns, the president of the union in sisted that the printers should be paid for work which they did not do.
 "The management of these two news papers, in compliance with it's contract with the printers union, agreed to sub init the disputed question for settle ment to the joint standing committed body authorized under the contract between the Typographical union and the newspapers to settle all differences of opinion. This offer of settlement was made in the communication of Vic tor F. Lawson, president of the Chi cago local American Newspaper Pub fishers association. in letter dated February 1S It was renewed in a letter dated February 28. In spite of these requests and also in spite of an offer made by the management or the Chicago American and the Exam iner to deposit the small differences in wages with the president of the Chi cago Typographical union No. 16 to be held by him until the final award was made, strike was called at D. m., to- day in the offices of the two newspa pers mentioned. This strike was or dered in violation of the most binding contract and an agreement to refer any and all matters ir dispute to the stand ing committee for settlement. In talk ing that action the union violated its own bylaws as well as its contract and arbitration agreement.
 Tn consequence of the unwarranted strike of the Typogra phical union all of the Chicago morning papers will print only four pages tomorrow"
