CHICAGO PRINTERS
 60 OOl ON STRIKE
DIFFERENCES ARISE OVER NEW WAGE SCALE WHICH REGENT.
 " WENT INTO EFFECT.
President Lynch, of Typographical Union, Says the Strike is Illegal
 and Wholly Unwarranted.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.--All of the Chi cago morning papers will be issued tomorrow morning in abbreviated form because of differences between them and the Typographical union. In connection with the matter, the Chi Cago Publishers Association tonight gave out statement, in which the declaration is made that the differ ences are in the offices of he Chi cago Examiner and the Chicago Amer bcan.
 The further assertion is made that the International Board of Arbitration met in Chicago February and fixed a scale to go into effect immediately.
 However, the printers on the Exam iner and American, after the award was made, believed they should be en- titled to be paid on a basis of 13 12 ems per line, whereas the actual type 'set measured less than 13 ems, the columns of both papers being slightly narrower than the columns of otler Chicago papers.
 The management offered to submit the matter to arbitration and the pdinte-y refused, it is said The management then offered to deposit the difference in wages with the president of the Chicago Typographi cal Union No. 16 to be held by Jim until the final reward was made. This was also refused and the strike arbi- trarily called.
 Tn taking that action,' says the statement, the union violated it's own bylaws as we'll as it's contract and arbitration agreement.
 The remainder of the statement is devoted to ofnice conditions on the Examiner and American, including the resignation of foreman, which the union claims was unfairly dealt with.
 A telegram was received tonight by the Publishers Association from James J. Lynch, president of the h. ternational Typographical Union, say ing the "strloe is unauthorized. ille- gal and without warrant"

prepered to wage a long fight against the tariff boardl He thought, however, that senators would not let the tariff board interfere with other business before the senate.
 There appeared to be somewhat more ot disposition today, however, to bring reciprocity to a vote Sena- tor Young. of Iowa, pleaded with sena- tors to face the measure sqaarely, "and to vote solidly against it."
 MT. Young seemed particularly anxious to bring the "insurgent" sen ators to a show down." as he ex- pressed it, on the reciprocity measure. He accused them of being responsi- lble for the reciprocity proposal be- cause of their maledictions against the Payne -Aldrich bill.
 They went about the country cry fng for refief from an oppressive tariff, Senator Young shouted, "and now they are objecting to the reef procity agreement because they say it doesn't relieve the farmer enough It only relieves him of about 50 per cent of what he has"
 The advicates of reciprocity took hope tonight but that was about as far as they felt justified in going. They have held all along that If reciprocity could be gotten out into the open, with no other measure pending and behind which senators might mask their opposition to the agreement, a vote easily could be reached

 RECIPROCITY
FORMER CANADIAN MlNlSTER R SAYS CANADA WOULD BE BACK
 DOOR TO CHICAGO.
Believes Both Champ Clark and Presi- dent Faft Favors the Ultimate Annexation of canada-Fears
 the Meat Combine.

Ottawa, Ontario, F n. 2S.-"The best years of my life were given to tine work of settling the Canadian Northwest and l cannot express my feelings at the prospect of seeing that country made the backyard of the city of Chicago" Clifford Sifton, for mer minister of interior for Canada in the Laurier government, said to- day in condemning the reciprocity agreement and breaking away from the liberal party.
 Because of the great interest in the speech, the LOOT and galleries of the house were crowded. MT. Sifton, who is chairman of the Dominion Conservation Commission, condemned the agreement and the government which made it.
 What is the reason being given by the representatives of the people of the United States?" MT. Sifton said for profferrng us the terms they do? l do decline to entertain fer second the suggestion that Champ Clark, the leader of the democratic panty, was not speaking seriously of annexation. If it had not been for Mir Clark and the democratic party this reciprocity agreement never wosM have passed the house of representatives What did Mir. Taft say? Canada is a strong country, it has great storehouse of natural resources. He says that it has been pursuing strong and sue cessful policy of development, but is now at the parting of the ways Therefore he says before Canada is irrevocaIbly fixed in the policy lead. ing to the consolidation and strength ening of the British Empire we must turn her from her course"
 Amcng the undesirable conse- quences which Mir. Sffton foresaw was the destruction of the Canadian Saeat packing business by the Amer ican combine against which Australia Vas now taking action. Every hoof from the CanadiaL wes. would be con troiled from Chicago. he asserted. In- stead of the price of Canadian wheat being raised to the American level, he said the great Canadian surplus would lower the price of American wheat to the Canadian people The immense business in foods, in which, after great effort, Canada had built up with Great Britain he asserted would be abandoned for the sake of getting the United States trade and this market might be taken away at any time. Then Canada would find that some other country had usurped control of the British market, he said
 The pulp and paper provision in the agreement, Mir Sifton affirmed, was an adroit bonus to the provinces to abandon the regulations they had made to prevent the eNportation of pulp wood. Last spring Canada Was being menaced by the United States with club. Now there was good feeling. What would be the relations year, hence there could be no guar. antee of continued good relations, at any moment some point of friction might occur which would make an attack on Canada a popular move for one of the American political parties to adopt"
 The defense of the government was made by Sydney Fisher. minister of agriculture.

NO DIRECT
 ELECTIONS
SENATE DEFEATS THE POPULAR CHOICE OF SENATORS IN FINAL
 VOTE TAKEN TODAY.
Fifty-Four Voted for 1t, But it He- quired a Two-Thirds Vote and Four Were Lacking to Amend
 the Constitution.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The senate today defeated the resolution pfopos- ing an amendment to the constitution so as to provide that senators bts elected by direct vote of the people.
 A brave fight had been made by the supporters of the measure as was indicated by the vote. Fifty four seq ators stood for the resolution and 5 against It. Though this division staow- ed so large majority of the senate to favor popular elections. tile num- Der was not sufficient by four to carry the measure, which required a two thirds vote for it's success.
 Immediately after the reading of the journal the popular election reso- hutton was taken up during unani- nous consent, granted last week. So long had the resolution been before the senate and so carefully had the memoenship been canvassed by it's supporters and it's opponents that it was recognized from the moment the question was brought up that 1t would go down in defeat. Nevertheless. there was a large attendance on the floor.
 Though it had been understood that debate would be shut off on the meas ure when called up, Senator Bacon. who determinedly has opposed the resolution as altered under the ISutherland amendment placing the control of the elections in the hands of congress, hoped to have an amend. ment adopted that might render the measure acceptable to some of the southern senators. The Georgia sena- tors effort was ito provide that the federal supervision of the elections should apply only in those stated wherein the legislatures had failed to designate in the manner and methcd of holding the elections.
 1 Vice President Sherman ruled the Bacon amendment out of order and the rollcall was begun. It was follow ed with deepest interest. For a mo- ment it was thought the calculations would be upset, for when Senator Gallinger's name was reached his an- swer was aye" Looks of surprise were exchanged by many senators. for the long debates on the question had developed no more inveterate enemy to the resolution than the | New Hampshire senator.
 The clerk had received several more responses before it occurred to MT. Gallinger that something was wrong. He arose in some haste and had his name shifted to the nays There were four absentees Sena tors Aldrich, Frazier, Crawford and Terrell. Had they been present, MT. Terrell, 1t was announced, would have voted against the resolution, and MT. Frazier for it. For Mfr. Aldrich no an nouncement was made. Later Mr. Crawford appeared on the floor and explained that he had overslept. His vote. he said. would have been ~aye ]" 1 Senator Borah, Who has led the advocates of popular elections, though disappointed in the result, was not discouraged. On the contrary. he felt that the vote plainly indinated the growing popularity of the measure.
 The resolution will be again dn- trodalced at the first session of con gress," he said, regular or extraorii nary, and urged unremittingly. The next congress. in my Judgment. will
