forts Of Citizens to Prevent Strike
Are .UnavaiIing.
Grand Rapids, Mich, April 20.-The
long expected strike of the furniture
workers of Grand Rapids, which has
been hanging for several weeks while
a committee of citizens has endeav.
ored to bring about an amicable I'm.
derstanding between manufacturers
and men. was officially declared on at
9 a. m.
Union men in nearly sixty furniture
factories, including woodworking
shops. packed their tools and walked
out. Between 5000 and 1000 union
men, including varnishers and finish.
ers, as we'll as cabinetmakers, carvers
and woodworkers, went out. Some
5000 other employees who are not I'M
ionized are affected by the strike.
The strike came to a head as the
result of the manufacturers refusal
in communication to the citizens
committee of inquiry, to grant any
concessions to the men. The men ask
10 per cent increase in wages, a nine.
hour day and the abolition of piece
work.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. Dec. 22.-The right
OF employees Of a railroad to eject pas
sengers who attempt to ride upon tickets
which have expired, even though the
date OF expiration is not plainly stamped

boarded a train at Douglas station, after
being admitted through the turnstile
where he claims to have shown his ticket
and to have been informed that II was
good. He was going to Kensington. When
the conductor came TO Pennington the
latter was informed the ticket was value
less; that the time limit had expired
about two weeks previously, and that he
would have 20 pay the fun fare of 81
cents CT get off.
Pennington elected to take the latter
course and alleges that as a result he
froze mis- hands and feet ana suffered
permanent injuries. He brought suit In
the superior court and secured a judg.
ment against the company for N,5oO and
this decision was affirmed by the appel
