Especial to The Gate City.I
MEMPHIS, Mo, June 2s.-At eleven
o'clock this morning. Alderman J. B.
Gregory and Alderman Frank Myers,
both from the second ward OF the
city, filed designations with the city
clerk, asking immediate acceptance.
There was no cause for their action
stated in the resignation, but it Is pre-
sumed to have been brought about on
account Of controversies growing out
of differences of opinion regarding
the construction of certain paragraphs
of the specifications for the paving
which is now being constructed on
the four streets surrounding the pub
lie square In Memphis. Mayor Bunce
to whom the designations were ad-
dressed, was seen at his Office late
this afternoon, but would not make
any statement regarding the matter,
but as the law in this state places the
matter Of calling an election wholly
in his hands, will doubtless take &C.
ton at an early date as the resigna-
ton Of two aldermen leaves the board
without a quorum. The situation
leaves the council in no condition to
take up the numerous matters which
at this time are occupying the atten-
ton Of the board Of aldermen on
questions of permanent improvement

CHICAGO STRIKE
WILL BE GREAT
Employers Take the Offensive and
viii Throw Thousands Out
OF Work.

| UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
| CHICAGO, June 2S.-One of the
i greatest labor wars Of recent years
was on in deadly earnest this after
noon. 1t will be fought out with dol
lars, not bullets,
Carpenter contractors, lumber deal
ers whose capital runs into enormous
figures and building material manufac-
turers this afternoon issued declara-
lions that unless by a near-miracle
differences are settled in the mean.
time they will throw a quarter Of a
million Chicago workmen into idle
ness.
After today, Chicago lumber deal
ers and manufacturers of building
material will accept no more con-
tracts. When outstanding orders are
delivered the plants will be shut
down completely.
The shutting down Of the scores OF
plants. was decided on today to smash
the strike the carpenters declared on
May for higher wages At that
time $4,000 men quit work, thereby
throwing out of jobs a total Of over
100000 men In allied trades.
Two thirds of the carpenter con.
tractors of the city have signed agree
ments granting the carpenters de-
mands. The other third, members Of
the employers association, refused
and drew upon the power Of produc-
ers of material and allied interests to
force the workers to terms.
Estimates today placed the loss to
the workers alone in wages would be
at the rate OF at least 100000 day
and still larger amount to the en-
ployers. ...
The employers took the offensive
this afternoon at a meeting Of twenty
Of the leading building material men
Of the city 1t was figured that the
shut down would be felt in full force
by the end OF this week.
Union leaders declared today they
intend putting the facts before the fed
eral authorities who will be asked to
determine whether the employers can
be proceeded against for alleged GRIM
inal conspiracy in restraint Of trade.

Yankee Chemists Discover New Filler

precipltated the war, which put an end
in a few hours to the importatio of

which give the new 100 watt lamp its
extraordinary white brilllancy and also
its exceptional efficiency.
Just enough Of the rarity was on
hand to enable the electrical chemists
to try discovery experiments in the big
laboratories. Day and night entire
forces Of scientists labored to find
the talismanic substance equal to

again succeeded. He found the good

that America is not only independent
