Today

New York. Sept. 27.-Labor unions
in New York were today standing by
contracts they have with employers, and
there was little response to the call for
general walkout in sympathy with
the striking employees of the traction
lines.
Police reports up to II O'Clock ae-
counted for only one local, connected
with the painters union. going out as
an actual step in the sympathetic move
ment. Probably 100000 union workers
remained away from work today, but a
majority of them would not have re-
ported had there been no strike call,
being Jewish and observing the an.
nual holiday of their faith
The longshoremen, stevedores and
other workers who were expected to be
among the first to respond, reported
as usual today All indications were
that unions having contracts were
showing little sentiment in favor of a
strike.
The labor leaders expressed them
selves as entirely satisfied with the
situation today, but would make no es-
innate of the number ON strike, or about
4; TO strike.

Expect 100000 Tomorrow.

New York, Sept. 27.-The general
strike designed to call out all organ
lied labor in New York City in sup.
port of the striking carmen. was sched,
uled to become effective today
1t was generally admitted, however,
that the exact number who may re-
spond to the call cannot be definitely
estimated, owing to the large number
away from work because of the Jewish
holidays, which start tonight
Outside figures showed that about
100000 workers might be absent today,
but q majority of these were of the He
brew trades out in preparing for New
Year.
No general walkout by union men
throughout the city was apparent and
the industrial life of New York is APP
parently in no immediate danger of
paralysis.
Labor leaders predict that 100000
union workers will be added each
morning to those on strike until the
suspension of work brings about victory
in approximately IS hours.
Many of the unions have deferred ac.
tion until tomorrow or the first of next
week, while officials of few locals
were declaring definitely for the sym
pathetic strike.
The longshoremen, who were expected
to give the greatest support to the strik-
ing carmen, have decided not to strike
just now. The tide water boatmen, the
coopers and the steamwinch engineers
also postponed action, so the harbor is
not tied up.
Only one union SO far has gone out
in sympathy with the striking carmen
according to the best police information
early today. Painters union struck and
was the first to walk out.
President O'Connor of the longshore
mems union, who less than week age
declared, "you can bet your life there
will be u sympathetic strike" left foi
Washington, stating that he had not
ordered strike FOR today and refused
to comment further.

Prices Moved Upward On
Million Share Market

New York, Sept. 27.--The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
says:
In the greater part of today's ses-
sion prices worked toward higher
levels with marked improvement in the
railroad shares, which moved under
the influence of buying by commission
houses for public account and cover
ing by professional traders who APP
parently were encouraged to change
their position by the excellent char
aeter of the business and the evident
intention of the larger Wall Street in
terests to support an upward move
ment in the group. In sevtral in
stances not only among the rails, but
in other parts of the market as well,
new high records were established. Al
though the total dealings again was in
excess of 100000 shares, making the
18th consecutive million share day, the
speculation at all times was/orderly.
Stock continued to be taken out of
the market by cash buyers. The de-
mand for money was relatively mae
tive, while on the floor of the stock
exchange funds were offered in abund-
ance under l-9 per cent, most un-
usual exhibition of easy loan rates in
time of great stock market turn
overs. Stocks offered were easily alb
sorbed. and the declines which de-
veloped at times represented little be-
yond speculative adjustments incident

upholding the record of former years
Salem day at the state fair saw the
largest crowds of the week and today's
attendance promises to eclipse the high
record of the state fair and when the
gates are checked up tonight il is prob
able that the returns win show that
the largest crowd ever assembled inside
a ticket gate in Salem passed through
the turnstiles today. In autos, afoot,
on horseback, in wagons and jitneys
they poured into the fair grounds from

will be at q premium before the day

Germans Fight Heroically.

London, Sept. 27.-The most success
full blow struck by Anglo-French troops
since the battle of the Marine brought
the capture OF Peronne and Bapaume

1t is possible, English military critics

successful operations. At Combles group
