STRIKE INAUGURATED TODAY ON
NEW YORK SUBWAY AND ELE-
WAITED LINES.
CARS ARE RUNNING
Service only Slightly Affected, Ac-
cording to Company, Which Will
Pay Those Refusing to Walk Out
Double Wages.

New York, Sept THE strike was
inaugurated on the subway and ele-
waited and several surface systems Of
the InterboroG@h Rapid Transit COM
pany today, but the city appeared
only slightly affected by the strike.
The union leaders claimed that nine
thousand men are out, but the trac-
ton officials declare that only two
thousand of their men quit, and that
the service is practically normal,
through the aid of strike breakers.
The men demanded an abrogation of
the contracts, which bound the EN-
rloyes not to ask for wage increase
before two years.
The Interborough company announc-
ed that all men remaining loyal would
receive double pay.

WHISPER, HAVE
YOU HEARD THE
LATEST RUMOR
1T is RUMoRED THERE WILL BE
ANOTHER RICHMOND IN FIELD
FOR THE LITTLE JOB OF MAYOR
NEXT SPRING.
Say, have you heard?

Well, several citizens who have their
ears to the ground and their fingers
on the political pulse have not only
heard, but they have felt a flutterlng
that seems to spell the fact that one
John II. Carlock is going to have his
Panama in the ring and his beamng
personality all over the place when
it becomes time for the citizens to
select another mayor for this great
and glorious city.
Mr.. Carlock is not going to pine
away for want of companionship in
this little Marathon. There are not
less than half a dozen others who
have their optics glued to this little
situation, and there are others who
may decide that they, too. will get in
while the getting is good, before the
date for closing the nominations rolls
around.
Mr. Carlock recently resigned as
city engineer, giving as his reason
that the duties devolving upon him
as secretary of the county election
board were all that he cared to take
care of at this time, but the wise ones
seem to think that he resigned with
double purpose-that Of attending TO
the above mentioned duties and also
laying plans to get himself elected as
mayor of this city.
Mr.. Carlock is an able man. He
has been fighting in the ranks Of dem
ocracy for a long time. and his friends
would be pleased to see him elected to
this position. In the meantime, he
says nothing, with an eloquent grin
when the matter is preached to him.
