Duval and Henry Berger each filed
$4,000 suits against the Chicago
Examiner and the Chicago Journal,
respectively, today. The suits charge
libel growing out of the publication
of a statement by Atty Pat O'Don-
nell, now on trial with Charley EFb-
stein, in which O'Donnel said con-
Wet had told him he had paid money
to DUVal and Berger.
Anthony D'Andrea, president of
the Excavators' union, filed suits for
$4,000 each against the Chicago
Tribune and the Chicago Herald,
charging libel The charge is based
on stories printed in those papers
prior to the February, 1916, prima-
ries, at which O'Andrea was a candi-
date for alderman in the 18th ward,
to the effect thathe had been con-
victed for cOunterfeiting.

WHITE RATS READY TO CALL
STRIKES EVERYWHERE
The strike Of the White Rats, the
vaudeville actors union, has not hit
Chicago yet.
So far only two cities have been
affected by the strike, Boston and
Lynn, Mass. It is expected that
strikes will be called in other cities
tonight, but not in every city.
Five theateTs in Boston and Lynn
were forced to close their doors by
the calling of the strike there, ac-
cOrding to a telegram received to-
day by Harry MountfOrd, sec'y of the
White Rats, from John Fitzpatrick,
president of the Rats, who quietly
slipped into Boston yesterday when
everybody thought he was in the
West.
Only three acts stayed in when the
Boston-Lynn strike was called. An
attempt was made to run the shows
with acts from other theaters, but
the picket lines were so thick that
the theateF managers could not get
the substitute acts to the stage doors.
When the strike is called in Chi
cago every vaudeville theater in the
city will be affected.
Many big stars are Rats, unbe-
known to the managers, as all White
Rats are on the black list of the
Vaudeville Protective assn, an or
ganiZatiOn of managers.
Tom Haverly, comedian, was in
Chicago today enroute to Australia
Because he is a White Rat he charges
he has been unable to get bookings in
American theaters.
