Mrs. Annie Belleville Hunter filed
suit In the Supreme Court yesterday

be her answer to Hunters allegations
in his recent suit against John Barrett
Kerfoot, his classmate at Columbia and
brother-in-law, for $4,000 for the alien
alton Of Mrs. Hunters affections Ker.
foot is a critic and novelist.
The first intimation that another
woman might have been responsible for
the Hunters enlargement came when
Kerfoot filed his answer to the aliena'
ton action. He denied that he had won
the affections of Mrs. Hunter, and add
ed that at the time mentioned such al
lection did not exist, and consequently
it would have been impossible for him
to ALLEVIATE il.
Kerfoot also alleged that Hunter lost
the love and society of his wife by his
unreasonable and arbitrary conduct
toward her. The author brought into
his case the other woman, who now hG-
ures in the divorce suit, but whom ne
did not mention by name. Mr.. kerfoot
accused Hunter of misbehavior with
this woman.
Kerfoot and Hunter were graduated
from Columbia in the class of 81. The
friendship begun at college continued
afterward, and Kerfoot married sister
of Hunter in 1895. Mrs. Kerfoot died =

Chicago, Sept 15.-The European
war has reached Chicago.
No trenches have been dug; no
shrapnel shrek.
But squads of striking makers of
murder tools march back and forth
before the barred doors of munitions
factories, which are guarded by squads
of police.
Ambassador Dumba's scheme to
wreck the American munitions indus
try is already in operation here.
And factory owners are organizing
a private army of 100000 men-to
guard their factories.
More than 1000 skilled machinists
are walking the streets, jobless.
Heads of big manufacturing plants
hold daily meetings-and never tell
what they discuss at their confer
ences.
Eight machine factories are tied up
by strikes.
Munition contracts amounting to
81 100000 are said to be held IN one
Chicago factory where a strike is be
ing organized.
The manufacturers charge openly
that European influence caused the
strike
But dozens of striking machinists
with whom | talked today denied this.
Paul B. Goddard, president of the IL
linois Tool Company, thinks differ
entity.
"These strikes are part of we'll
laid plot to cripple American indus
tries; not merely to check the manu-
facture of munitions, but to cripple
industries that contribute directly or
indirectly to the aid of the Allies,
said the tool manufactures, whose
shop was closed recently by strike
These industries can be reached only
through the labor unions. The men IN
the shops may not know what they
are striking for, but their leaders do
and it isn't for higher wages or short
er hours"
"Another lie coined by capital" IS
the way William Schoenberg, business
agent for the International Machimsts
Association, disposed of the mum
tions war. Its another effort OF the
bosses to discredit labor. The manu-
facturers are profiting by the war,
hut they don't want to share the profit
with the men in the shops. We want
our just share of prosperity, and this
strike will last until we get 1t.
j Organization of a citizen soldiery IN
each municipality, "to defend itself
against foreign encroachments," is
suggested by Samuel NJ. Hastings,
president of the Illinois Manufactur-
ers' Association.
81 would not be surprised to see
100000 men enrolled in this citizen
soldiery," declares Hastings.
The manufacturers are equally
watchful Many factories have po-
licemen ON guard to keep the pickets
at safe distance from the plant.
Two stalwart police stood guard at
the Illinois Tool Company and kept
suspicious eye on group of strikers
who were telling their troubles to a
newspaper reported A plain clothes

men until the interview ended.
