City Forced to Walk By
Sudden Walkout of
Power Station Men.

OulCASOs July 1O.-SIFeet car

trely suspended early today when
electrical workers in several repair
shops were called out on strike
following dispute over unioniza-
ton Of some Of the shops and fail

in power stations from which cur
rent is supplied to the car lines
was the development which actu-
ally created the tie-up on the lines.

night last night, was set for S
o'clock this morning.
Citizens Unprepared.
The strike came suddenly after
the break in conferences between
representatives of the company and
the men and few citizens knew OF
the situation until they started for
work and found NO surface. cars
moving. Thousands were delayed
by the tie-up, although the con-
tinued operation of the elevated
lines afforded some relief.
Girl Is Killed.
A 14-year-old girl was killed and
probably so persons injured in au.
tomobile accidents which resulted
today from congestion caused by
an unexpected strike Of 1872 stree,
car electricians which seriously

the city.
The girl was killed when ,

OF
new PARTY
ARE CRUDE
Convention Methods Are
Hardly Calculated to
Inspire Confidence.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Chicago. July 15.-More to be pit
led than scorned-that is perhaps
the best way to size up the third
party convention. Its crude meth
ods, its awkward and clumsy ef-
forts to give expression to every
conceivable phase of popular dis
content, its severe denunciati0n of
the two old parties is natural in
such q hedge pedge Of minority ele-
ments, but the entire lack of po-
litical sense in the gathering or
consciousness of team-play by
which alone Q party can make head
way is a sad commentary on the
liberalism which is supposed to be
finding an outlet here.
Dozens of delegates talking at
once, respect neither for the gavel
Of the chairman nor the fact that
q delegate may have been accorded
the privilege of speaking, intoler-
ance il the views of q delegate
seeming contrary to the wish Of the
mass-all this may be defended on
the ground that the third party is
suffering the throes of infancy but
it impressed many on onlooker with
the truism that the place to fight
for reform is inside the two old
parties, after all, rather than out
side Of them.
Too LucA For LaFollette.
Even Eobert NJ. IaFollette. seniol
senator from Wisconsin, and ths
only figure Of prominence who
stands in the background as ready
and anxious to lead the third party
movement, had to call a halt BY
long distance telephone as the vari.
GUS elements merged into one con
venton and began to embody ir
their platform every species Of radi'
calism from Russia to the soap boz
orators Of America.
Poor LaFollette! He wants tht
nomination here principally as Z
vindication of the position he ha:
taken on public questions in thu
last four years of political upheava
in the United States. He is under
stood to have advised the platform
committee here that while he wa.

One feels moved to add mite
to the effort of the Literary Di-

through it Congress, to sense of
the injustice and folly of permit

touches as many people so much
OF the time or is more important
to the general welfare. Let us all
respond to the Digest's appeal

try to have these wrongs righted.
