CHICAGO, May with morning

in practically every part of the city,
with members of the typographical
union voting not to strike in sympathy
with the pressmen and wagon drivers
and with violence practically at an
end it is believed the newspaper strike
here will soon be settled. The Typo
graphical Union at a big meeting held
in Bricklayers hall voted against a
strike. The resolution which declared
against violating the contract with the
various Chicago newspapers will be
submitted formally before the vari-
Gus locals at the regular Sunday meet
ings.
No cases of violence were reported
during the morning. The police guards
in the loop district, at the news stands
were reduced today. The early country

CORPORATIONS ARE
SOUNDLY CENSURED
Copyright 1912. Satioa,i New, Association.

Another TRADE against the corpora
tions who tear up the streets was
heard at the meeting OF the board of
works this morning The mayor con-
demned most emphatically local street
decorators and is in favor of a law
compelling owners of lots to put in
water, gas and other public service
pipes so that tearing up of streets will
not be necessary. He favors this plan
for vacant lots also, saying We would
have better streets then. A number of
street complaints registered by coun-
cilmen last Monday night were turned
over to the public service corporations
and the city street commissioner with
orders to remedy the conditions at
once.
An arc light for South Fourteenth
and D streets was ordered. The board
will visit North West Eighth and Pea
cock Hill streets to see if light is
needed there before acting on the pc
tition for a light addressed to the
board this morning.
The board will make over South
Fourteenth street next year. Property
owners want it done this year, but the
city is too badly bent" to do this
work now.
