ported Paralyzed.

Chicago. Ill. June 14.-Leaders
of the nationwide strike of teleg-
ra1hers declared today that re-
ports had been received showing
4 that heavy files of Weston Union
4 kilograms were piling up at relay
i points because of refusal of rail-
+ road telegraphers to handle COM
N mercial business. Railroad oper-
ators were instructed by the order
of railway telegraphers to discon-
N tinue handling commercial busi-
ness after a. N. today as a means
or aiding commercial teIegraphers
in their strike for "the right OF col
lectiVe bargaining and wage adjust
ments."
Many Places Paralyzed.
After officials of the Western

following this order, S. ]. KOnen-
camp, international president of

merciaI message had moved on the
Missouri Pacific, that definite re-
ports showed hundreds of towns
in Iowa, Illinois and other nearby
states ale without telegraph ser
vice and that al outlying districts
would be likewise affected by
night.
The Western CCion has esti-
mated that each of the $4,000 rail
road stations handles five messages

figures, which are extremely low.
there are 115,0G0 messages a day
that can not be moved. This con-
stitutes more than a third of the

Western Union officials sad re-
ports indicate that the only real
inconvenience caused by the order
Of rall7 Dad operators was through
certain telegraphers along the lines

PARADES
IN PROTEST AT
BAN ON LIQUOR
Demonstration Staged in
Washington Against
a "Dry" Nation.

Washington, June 14.-Labor's
protest against prohibition insofar
as it applies to light wines and beer
was to be brought before congress
late today in a demonstration par
ticipated in by a throng estimated
by leaders to number from 10O, 900
to 10000 representatives and mem
bers Of union organizations from
this and scores of other cities
throughout the United States.
Led by Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of
Labor, who with hundreds of other
delegates from the annual conven-
tion of the federation were expected
to reach here from Atlantic City on
special trains, the delegates were to
assemble on the union station plaza
and march to the capital steps. The
meeting was to open with a salute
to the flag, as a mark, it is an
nounced, of the "anti-bolshevist and
pro-American sentiment of the
workers"
Thousands on Hand.
Anti-prohibition forces from
many cities, composed largely of
union men opposed to abolishing
manufacture and sale of beer and
light wines, descended on Wash
ington today for a great demon
stration at the capitol, planned by
the central labor union of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Many special
trains arrived during the morning
and while awaiting the hour of the
meeting, 2 o'clock. the delegations
with their bands marched about
the city. AS the influx continued
union officials in charge of ar
rangements predicted their first
estimates of a crowd of 100000
would be exceeded

Discovery by the Union recep-
tion committee that several auto
mobiles placed at the disposition
of visiting union officials had been
placarded with signs, reading II

complaints for the police.

FRENCH MINERS
STRIKE MONDAY
Although Hope of Settlement Is
Seen, There Is Little Prospect
of Preventing WalkOut.

Paris, Friday, June 13.-Inter-
vention by government officials in
the strike situation has aroused
hopes of a settlement soon. How
ever, it is doubtful whether the
claims of the miners can be sat
isfied before they put into effect
their decision to go on a general
strike Monday.
A general strike of the miners
would have serious effect on indus
try and business, but the situation
would be graver still should the or
ganization known as the inter
union trust which includes the rail-
road workers, registered seamen,
metal workers and transportation
workers in addition to the miners
carry out its decision to walk out
in sympathy with the miners.
The inter-union trust, however,
has subordinated its action to in
structions from the general labor
federation and the question of a
sympathetic strike probably will be
settled at a meeting today of the
executive meeting of the federal.
Leaders of the federation seemed
imbud with a certain spirit of mod
Grafton.
Meet to Decide on Strike.
Representatives of the French,
Italian, British and Belgian labor
organizations were to meet here
today to decide on a simultaneous
"a hours general strike in the four
countries as protest against in
tervention in Russia and to obtain
full amnesty and rapid demobiliza-
ton. 1t appeared early today that
only the Italian representatives
would meet with the French, the
British and Belgian labor organ
izations having declined to par
ticipate.
French and Italian Socialists also
will confer on parallel" action in
accordance with the decision taken
at the meeting of the labor repre-
sentatives and Socialists of France
Thursday. Under the circum-
stances, not much Importance is
attached to the meetings in author
itative quarters.
