PATERSON, N. j., Aug. 4.-Si,k work
ers in mills here were locked out this
morning when, in an effort to inaugu-
rate a forty-four-h week, they re-
ported to work at h. m. instead of at
7:40. The strikers say 1900 workers
are out The employers and an Official
of the United Textile Workers. of Amer
ica say that not more than 1000 or
5000 are affected.
Under an agreement last Saturday
between the international officers Of
the United Textile Workers Of America,
affiliated wit the American Federation
of Labor, anu the Paterson EMPLOYERS
Association, the forty four-hour week
would have been the schedule on Octo-
Der 10, or such earlier date as Presi-
dent Wilson proclaimed peace At pres
ent they are working under a National
War Board agreement.
Thomas f. Mcmahon. international
vice e-president of the United Textile
Workers, said tonight that only a few
from that union were included in those
locked out and that he expected the
situation to clear uD in a day or two.
The men would stand by the agreement
until October 10. he said
A majority of those who reported
late this morning are unorganized
Those who assert that 1900 are out
say that nearly 5000 belong to no
union. Between 1000 and 5000 belong
to the United Textile Workers, and
more than 1000 are distributed among
such radical organizations as the Work
ers' Industrial Union, the |. W. W. and
the Amalgamated Textile Workers.

president of the Brotherhood of Rail

referendum ballot will be taken on

Demands for a 44-hour week, over
time and 20 cents an hour increase in
wages have been made and the brother
hood expects n definite reply immedi-
ately,' said Mr.. Forester. "a letter
has gone to the Admins stration, asking
hearing
when the reply is received, if it is
not Of the nature that goes along with
the proposition we have made, it will
ee put out to the employees Immediately
for their action. The pressure from
the employees for vote on the answer
OF the railroad administration is strong
and if the demands are not granted,
and quickly granted, judging from the
temper of the employees, they are likely
to follow the lead of the shopmen.
at costs the railroad clerk with a
family of five as much to live as it
does locomotive engineer with his
family. Our members are in the same
trap economically as the other rail
road workers. And we join with them
in demanding that unless something
be done materially to reduce the cost
of living our wages must be raised to
give us immediate relief"
Mr.. Forester said he expected con-
ference this week. The specific de-
mands beyond the wage increase and
44-hour week are for pay and a half
for overtime, Sundays and holidays to
be classed as overtime work. A 3O6-
day year also is demanded, and the
establishment of certain deferentials
previously existing affecting truckers
and freighthouse employees of superior
rank 1t is demanded that the relief
shall be retroactive to january 1910

LONDON, Aug. 4.-The British bat
tleship Vigilante lies in the Mersey
River tonight, with her guns trained
upon Liverpool, where, as result o.
the police strike, the gravest unrest
prevails. Roting, looting and pillaG
ing in all quarters of the city arc
only partially held in check by mill
tary reinforcements.
About one-third of the city's force
of 5000 police constables are out.
The London strike is spreading only
slowly, less than 1,100 of the met
ropolitan and city force having laid
down their batons.
Railroad Men Join
Between three and four hundred en-
gineers and fremen Of the London G.
Southwestern Railway went on strike
this morning in sympathy with the
police, inviting all other centres to do
likewise. As consequence of their
action, holiday crowds were seriously
inconvenienced on many lines from
Waterloo station. However, the ac-
tion was unauthorized by the execu-
tive, which urged other branch secre-
taries to keep the men at work on
penalty Of dismissal.
Other striking bodies include the
bakers, who have struck against night
work. and the Yorkshire miners, who
are still out with their former griev-
held meetings to-day, where the leaders
contended that the strike is now too
big for the authorities to handle.

1t was announced that the Paris
police had offered to come out on a
sympathy strike if desired. Despite
their optimism, however, The situation
in London still remains normal and
there is no noticeable shortage of
constables.
The situation is most critical in
Liverpool, where already the damage
amounts to nearly $1,5cG,0OO. Several
large jewelry stores have been stripped
of their contents.
No trans are running to-day in
Liverpool, although this strike is over
separate grievances and not in SYM
pathy. All shops are barricaded and
no policemen are to be seen on the
streets. Many people are afraid to
leave their houses. The features of
the situation are rioting and open
gambling on the streets. All sorts Of
swindles are in operation on the side
walks.

w. Hawyer. president Of the Chicago
Council of tho Federated Railway Shop
mems Union, after he had received re-
ports from many additional points tell
ing of the walkout to- day Of shop om
ployes.
He said total Of 250.OO0 shopmcn
were now on strike and that before
Wednesday night rs per cent of the
members would be out.
Reports received at union Offices an
nounced the walkout OF 5000 men en-
ployod in the New York Central shops

apols.
"Thc situation is encouraging from
our viewpoint" President Hawyer said.
"All work in the shops Of the Chicago
they soon will have trouble handling
the mail.
1--WE hope officers of our grand lodge
are successful in their negotiations at
Washington, but we will stand firm on
the strike order until our demands
have been met"
S. G. Strickland, Federal manager Of
the Northwestern Railroad, said to-
night that the strike of shopmen had
considerably hampered freight move
ment in many divisions and that nearly
all repair work had stopped in Chicago.
There is no doubt that the situation
is serious" Mr.. Strickland said
Freight movement in many districts
is already hampered, and if additional
men walk out freight shipments may
be tied up in a week. Passenger traf
lic also will suffer. Shop executives
now are making minor repairs and adj
justments on engines and rolling
stock, but as the condition of equip
ment becomes worse, they will be un-
able to cope with the situation and
traffic will stop"

The most expert whalers of to-day

British whalers were supreme, but,
owing to the government withdraw

the number of British whalers fell off.

PANTACES SHOW
OPENS TONIGHT
It is a Six Act Bill That Comes
to the Grand Opera House !.
This Evening.

There is another six-act bill of Pan
tages vaudeville for the patrons of the
Grand opera house when the weekly pro-
gram opens there this evening, to be
presented again on Wednesday evening.
The bill is spoken Of very highly by the
critics of the north country, who rate it
as one of the good things Of the Pan
time. Perhaps the best view of it could
be given by reproducing the opinion of
one of the Calgary critics. who saw the
show presented there last week. Here
is what he says:
"There are outstanding acts on the bill
which proved to be big hits with the first
day audiences. Included among these
are Henry Regal and Sim Moore, whose
skit entitled Drop Ts Line won an
enthusiastic reception. They proved
themselves two of the cleyerest perform
ers in their line.
Senator Murphy, speaking on the top
les of the day, went straight TO the hearts
Of his audience.
'The Colonial Five. the concluding
number of the BILL offered a taking act in
their songs Of today and yesterday.
"The Four Meyakos presented de-
lightful act, miniatnre show in Itself.
These Japanese children proved them
selves contortionists, dancers, singers
and musicians IF no mean ability.
"I1lsie Murphy and Eddie Klein had a
good singing and dancing act, with a live
~ line of patter, and Love and Wilbur, in
their opening act, twirled and swung
themselves to good effect on the rings"
There will be two shows each evening,
starting at 7:15 and 9:15.

NEGRESS Is FINED

was last week sentenced to serve one
day in the city Jail and pay fine
of $40 for contempt of court, was yes
terday tried before Magistrate George
Raban on a charge Of keeping dis
orderly house, found guilty and fined $50.
The arresting officer testified that the
woman was seen to pick up a man on
the street and that they were in her
shack together when she was arrested.
The Force woman was committed for
contempt following her indulgence in
bad language while in court, which she
tapered off by telling the magistrate that
he could go to hell. She was warned
yesterday by Magistrate Raban that if
her conduct should ever be repeated he
would impose upon her the extreme
penalty
