CHICAGO STRIKE
THROWS THOUS-
ANDS OUT WORK
SIXTEEN THOUSAND CARPENTERS
WALK OUT AND LEAVE WORK
AGGREGATING MORE THAN $780,
100000.
One Hundred and Twenty-Five ThOus-
and LabOrers Not Connected With
Strike Thrown Out of Work.
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 1.-THE strike
declared yesterday by 10000 union
carpenters here has assumed serious
proportions. Buildings operations ag-
gregating more than $30,000,0OO on
about 1000 structures has been sus-
pended by their action.
AS result OF the strike fully 1885,
900 wage earners have been thrown
out of employment. Many of these
have no connection whatever with the
building industry itself.
The striking carpenters are asking
an advance of five cents an hour over
the old scale of wages. This would
make the wage of union carpenter
seventy cents an hour.
There seems little likelihood of an
adjustment of matters in the imme-
date future. 1t is not known definitely
whether or not the construction men
will import strike breakers.

SLATON MUST SIGN
$500 STATE BONDS
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, April 1.-THE ap-
palling prospect of carefully signing
his name with a pen $500 times in
succession stares Governor John NJ.
Slaton in the face in connection with
the validating of the states 3,525, 900
bond issue. Signing your name once
or twice is pleasant eenough, partic-
ularly if you sign it to check that
is a good check A half dozen times
in succession, and the entertainment
cloys even though you are a million
aire. And three thousand, five hun
dred times in rapid succession! Perish
the thought! Yet this is a piece Of
work that nobody can relieve the gov
ernor of. Each of the 81 900 bonds
must bear his signature. They will
also have to be signed by Secretary Of
State Phil Cook and State Treasurer
w ]. Speer.
All this signing at the capitol re-
calls to mind circumstance of the
former administration which possibly
has never been made public. Governor
Joseph NJ. Brown used only one pea
all the time he was in office. 1t was
a common enough little gold pen on
an ordinary staff. He carried it like
pencil in his vest pocket, though it
was not fountain pen, and when
ever he had anything to sign, from a
message down to trivial
memorandum, he used that pen. For
all his friends at the capitol know to
the contrary, he may have it yet.

of the defeated Tenth army corps, dur
ing heated argument. The source
of the information is unimpeachable.
General Anzieiger, of Dusiberg,
states that the report that the grand
duke was i'll has been circulated to
keep the truth from his sold
iers.
Authentic information states that
the grand duke took the defeated ger

argument both men grew angry. The
grand duke boxed his subordinate
ears. who drew his pistol and fired.

operation was necessary to remove it.
General Sievers then turned the gun

reduce the Dardanelles, but the neu-

tinues to be maintained.
