N. '. IN THROES IF GARMENTS
 STRIKE
Union Men of Subway and Elevated Lines Walk Out, Leaving City in Worst Pre- dicament in Years.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

NEW YORK. Sept. GA strike was declared early tonight by unionized employees of the subway and elevated railroad lines operated by the Inter boro Rapid Transit Company. Union officials asserted that New York cleo tric train facilities would be com pletely paralyzed by morning. Motor men and conductors on the surface lines may strike through sympathy.
 Should the strikers succeed in their purpose. New York will face the worst tie up in it's history. Thus lar the union has confined its demands to the Interboro and it's subsidiary sur face car lines, the New York Railways Company. Employees on the Green Car" line of the New York Railways Company also voted to strike.
 This is one of the most important of the city's surface car lines.
 oscar s. Straus. chirman of the pub lie service commission, requested that the strike be held up pending an at tempt by himself and Mayor Mitchell to settle the trouble. The labor lead CTS declined.
 Union leaders declare many work men were discharged today because they refused to take off their union badges. Interboro car barns gave the appearance of barracks. Approximate ly 30.000 men have been housed and fed in preparation for the anticipated strike order. Most of the men were hired by strike breaking agencies at the time of the railroad emergency and were taken over by the lnterboro.
 Subpoenaes were served on officers of the Interboro Company by the public service commission, which to morrow will begin an investigation of the cause that precipitated the strika
 Subpoenaes also were issued for William B. Fitzgerald and William Conway, representing the union.
 Trains were running as usual long past midnight on subway and elevated lines. despite reports at union head quarters that many men had quit. Union leaders declared their men had been replaced by strike breakers.

TOPEKA. Sept. 6.-E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. declared tonight in a formal statement that the road does not intend to comply with the Adam son eight hour law. recently enacted by congress to avert a threatened railroad strike. unless ordered to do so by the United States supreme court.
 Mir. Ripley's statement follows:
 Congress. acting under a threat of four leaders of labor organizations. enacted a sO-called eight hour law, which is nothing more nor less than an advance of 20 to 25 percent in the wages of the best paid men in railway service. It is only fair to the public and to our employees to say that the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe rail- road company does not intend to com ply with the law unless ordered to do so by the court of last resort"

(By Review Leased Wire)

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept G. The California Railroad Commission fixed a valuation of $6,32S, ,OOO today on the electric distributing system of the Southern California Edison Company in Los Angeles in connection with it's intended purchase by the city of Los Angeles.
 The company contended the proper ty plus severance damages, was worth $21, ,S90, ,066 while the municipal set up on it a value of s3.432.SO
 The decision is the first of its kind rendered in the United States by a public service commission and sets a precedent in regard to fiXation of sev- erance damage is, the damage suffered by members of the system by an eXcision of the Los Angeles DOT ton.
 The opinion fixed the actual value of the system at $4.74OOO0. allowing in addition severance damages of $1,57S,OOO.
 The decision stated that reproduc- tion costs rather than the capitaliza- tion of earnings was the basis taken, and that the commission worked with a clear understanding of the necessi- ty of an award, which by its fairness. would encourage further investments of capital in the state.
 Financial interests all over the country have been watching for the decision.

One of the gang stood guard over the crew and the other five attempted to break into the express car. finally forcing two hobOes to break through the door with tools taken from the engine.

LONDON, April 9. Augustin Birrel, under secretary for Ireland rose in his place in the House of Com mons today and startled the members by informing them that serious dis turbances had broken out in Dublin, resulting in twelve persons being killed before the authorities quelled the rioters. The situation is now fully controlled by the military. The affair was in the nature of a revolu- tonary movement, and at one time the rebels were in possession of four or five different districts in the city. The rebels resisted the soldiers with firearms, and several soldiers were killed. The rebels seized the pOstof flee and cut the telegraph wires, but not before the troops at Curragh had been teIegraphed for. When the troops arrived they soon gained the upper hand.

PARIS. April %. - The Germans delivered three strong attacks on the French positions near Deadman's lin last night, but each of the assaults was complete failure. The heaps of dead left before the French trenches when the assaults were thrown back testified to the deadliness of the French artillery and machine gun fire, which swept the charges from end to end, as the enemy advanced in success sive waves. Another strong German attack was launched during the night at the redoubt held by the French at Avoncourt Here also the French re pulsed the assault. The position here is of strategic importance, and the Teutons have several times attempted to storm the French positions, but al ways without effective results.

PRAISE FOR GOOD WORK.

ZURICH, Switzerland. April 25. - After publishing many joking stories of the efforts of George L. Lorrilara, American charge d'affaires to Serbia, to find the court to which he was ac- credited, the Viennese newspapers are now praising his zealous activities in aiding Austrian and Hungarian pris- oners of war in Albania.
 According to the latest reports, Mr. Lorritard found 800 of these prisoners at Scutari. and another 600 at Ales- sio. After satisfying himself that they were in good hands, Mir. Lorri- lard gave the Albanian families shel- tering the men out of pure charity, generous recompense. At Alessio he bought up all the fish and bread in the town and personally distributed it.
