 NEAR SAN DIEGO,
 AND GOING GOOD
The Mississippi Damages Pro- pellers; Admiral Sights Brown Whale.
(t.By the Associated Press.)

Aboard U. s. s. New Mexico, Aug. 5.-The Pacific fleet steamed tonight through swelling seas off Cape San Lucas, Lower California, sufficiently ahead of schedule so that any possi- ble storms will not delay it's arrival at San Diego on the designated date.
 A severe tropical heat wave through which the fleet passed for almost one week broke today when the fleet be- gan crossing the guld og California.
 The sailors in the fleet expect soon to change from their white to blue uni forms.
 The battleship Mississippi has been steaming along today with two dama- ged propellors.
 While Admiral Hugh Rodman, com mander of the fleet, was seated on the quarter deck this afternoon, he sigh ted big brown whale approximately 500 feet off the starboard side. Ad- miral Rodman said he had seen only four whales of that color during 40 years of service at sea.

Two Women Among Those Named in Seven Indictments, and 25 Additional Cases Ready for
 Grand Jury.

Chicago, Aug, Twenty five cases, involving 30 persons, black and white, alleged to have participated in the race rioting last week on charges of murder and assault, were prepared today for presentation to special grand jury tomorrow. Seven indict- ments, naming 14 negroes, including two women, were returned today.
 A huge mass of evidence has been prepared by the assistants to the attorney-general of Illinois and assistant states attorneys. The in- vestigation apparently is just started and scores of indictments are expect ed to follow.
 The county commissioners today voted $100,000 to the sheriff for pay of special deputies and other expen- ses incident to suppressing of the riot spirit, and $50,000 to the states attorney for use in his investigation.
 A resolution, calling for a com- mission, with membership of both races, to make study of the situa- tion for the purpose of making out a definite method of segregation was introduced in the city council today. It met with vigorous opposition from negro aldermen and was sent to the judiciary committee.

Labor Troubles In Great Britain
 Cause Crisis
(By the Associated Press ,

London, Aug. 5.--With the York shire strike bill unsettled, the bakers strike continuing, number of minor sporadic strikes in other trades in sympathy with the smoulding discon- tent of the police and the failure of their strike to secure the withdrawal of the police bill, and the possibility on another big railroad strike, the la bor situation has again become so threatening that it is stated Arthur Henderson, the labor leader who is attending the socialist conference at Lucerne, has been hurriedly summon ed to London.
 Lord Robert Cecil in the house of commons today inquired as to the governments policy in the face of a threatened general strike in favor of direct action, to which Andrew Bonar Law, the government spokesman, re- peated his statement that the govern ment would resist such a movement with all the forces at it's disposal.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The threat of a railroad strike continues to spread turnout the country, despite the eff forts of the organized labor heads to hold the men in check until authorta- tive and official strike votes can be taken.
 Shopmen everywhere are throwing down their tools in premature strike, 1t was reported, threatening national industry, because without them, the railroads equipment cannot be kept in useable order at the most neces- sary of all times-crop moving sea- son.
 Above that lowered the threat of an even more serious labor situation, the demand of all the organized rail road industry that the profits of the business be overhauled to retire pri- vate capital and create new tri- partlte control.
 Reports began coming in today say ing that unless railroad equipment can be kept in running order, mills, mines and factories will be threaten ed with closing. It was reported that there are more than 100000 cars now out of commission.
 Strike Ballots Sent.
 Meanwhile, threats of hundreds of thousands of railroad employees to go on strike to force higher wages to meet the high cost of living are being reiterated. From many parts of the country today came reports that striking shopmen refused to re- turn to work, despite the fact that their action was denounced as illegal by the executive council of the six shop crafts. Strike ballots were mailed out from the American Feder- ation of Labor, for taking an official vote as to whether the 5OO,OO0 shop men shall walk out to obtain their demands and express their disap- proval of President Wilson's refer ence of the railroad wage question to congress. Demands also are being made by 450,000 clerks, freight hand- lers and station employees. Director Hines was to have discussed their problems today with J. J. Forester, grand president of the union, but oth- CT business interferred and the con- (

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Further spread
 of the strike of railway shopmen, es- pecially in the Middle West, where about l5,O0O workers went out today, according to union reports, and a strike of 10000 men on the Norfolk and Western lines is set for tomor-
 TOW, marked the fifth day of the Walkout. The strike has been declared illegal by railroad executives who have made that charge to the local bureau of the department of justice. The barrier was let down today for 1 boilermakers to join the other strik-

They also refuse to take strike vote August 24, as ordered by the grand lodge officers, and assert that the rail administration must treat with them and grant their demands for 85 cents an hour for mechanics and 60 cents for helpers.
 R. H. Aishton, regional director of the Northwest, asserted today that the strike was illegal, since the grand lodge officers had opposed it, and ordered the men to return to work. He said it was to be hoped that those conducting the strike Gin disobedience of their own highest authority" would "come to their senses soon, before disaster overtakes the whole country"

 WORK UNTIL ORDERED TO STRIKE
 BY ACTING NATIONAL PRESIDENT

Tuesday mornings Graphic, union off, ficials felt it should be conducted only after vote by the unions member ship. Accordingly, MT. Jewell is hav- ing strike ballots mailed to 5O0,OOO shop employees, to be returned for tab ulation on August "A. Mir. Ham, mond said last night that he expected the ballot to reach Pine Bluff today or tomorrow when vote would be taken here. Bulletins were posted at the shops yesterday calling attention to the ballot, and arranging plans for the vote. This probably accounted for a rumor which was prevalent yester- day that shopmen here had voted to strike.
 r In a statement yesterday, J. w. Blackburn, master mechanic at the Cotton Belt, complimented the work men here for their action in remain ing aloof from the strike until called by the highest authority.
 "The situation here is unchanged" he said. "The chairmen of the vari- ous crafts have assured me that the men will not quit work until they are ordered to do so by their grand lodge officers. In view of the action taken in number of cities, think the em- ployes of the Cotton Belt shops have an excellent record in this respect, and l believe they are going to main tain it."
 MT. Blackburn stated that in view of the strike on the Missouri Paci- fife the men here are not being worked on any engines from that road. "This was done when the men made the re- quest, and as it is the usual custom" 1" Mr,fl. Blackburn said, T readily agreed"

ARRANGING TO PARTICI- PATE IN STRIKE BALLOT,
 RETURNABLE AUG. 24.

All rumOrs to the contrary notwith- standing, there is no immediate likeli- hood of walkout by the workmen at the Cotton Belt shops. This assur- ance was made last night by Roy Hammond, corresponding secretary of the Machinists local No. 51 in an in- terview with The Graphic. MT. Ham mond stated that until B. M. Jewell, acting president of the railway divi- sion of the American Federation of Labor gave the word to walk out, the workmen employed at the Cotton Belt shops here would remain on the job.
 If Mir. Jewell says strike," he said, Eve go out 100 per cent, but until he does give the word, we remain at work"
 The situation in regard to the local workmen seems to be this: The strike called from Chicago is a strike of the Federated Shopmen's union. The local shOpmen are almost wholly members of the International Machin- ists' union. All of these workers are affiliated with the American Feder- ation of Labor, and the supreme rail- way head seems to be invested in the railway division of the American Federation. MT. Jewell, spoken of by MT. Hammond, is head of that divi- sion, and is now having daily con- ferences with the president. The rail- way division has not authorized the present strike, and is urging work men not to strike. But, if a strike should become necessary in order to enforce demands of the shopmen, ac- cording to statement to the presi- dent by Mir. Jewell reported by the Associated Press, and appearing in
