how it becomes pneumonia, as a spe-

ANOTHER STRIKE
UNION EMPLOYEES ON ELEVATED

DURING NIGHT.
(By Associated Press,

New York, Sept IA million or
more New Workers. left their homes
this morning, uncertain whether they
would ride to work owing to the strike
declared last night by the union en-
ployes on the Elevated and the Sub
way railways of the city. About $4,000
employees are affected.
At o'clock this morning, the Inter
borough reported that the Elevated
and the Subway trains were running
on normal schedules, with but few
changes in the regular crews.
Several instances where Elevated
trains were bombarded with stones
and bottles were reported. The po
lice dispersed the throwers.
Up to noon, the strike apparently
had only slightly affected the rail
ways. The traction officials said tha
not more than 1000 men had quit, anC
that normal schedules were beinl
maintained by strikebreakerss
Union leaders claim that 5000 mel
quit work.

1T FOR PRESERVING AND
PRICE is LOWERED.

Now, since the canning season mas
about closed, and there is but little
fruit to be cooked and stored away in
air-tight jars for the winter, granulat-
red sugar is beginning to take tum-
BILE in price.
Remaining at figure which made
it's use for ordinary canning and pre-
serving prohibitive during time when
the markets were filed with fruits
and vegetables of various kinds, sugar
is now going down when it is the least
needed.
A drop of cent pound occurred
yesterday. This was attributed to the
lack of demand and the wide differ
ence between granulated and raw
sugars.
Immediately on the opening Of the
New York market the Federal Sugar
Refinery reduced its list to S6.25 per
hundred pounds, and with the excep-
ton Of the American, the cut was met
, by all other refineries. 1t was re-

price of sugar was about as plausible
