STRIKE NEW YORK.
Three Spontaneous Walk-outs
in Rapid Succession.
Suspenusion of Associated Press Op
erators Not Complete Although
Strike Was Against Wishes of Union
Officers Strikers Will Receive Sup
port of Organization.
New York, Aug. 13. The strike ol
telegraphers which originating last
.Friday in Los Angeles where It was
directed against the Western Union
company, has gradually spread east
ward. YeHterduy it reached New
York city, 'where three spontaneous
''walkouts" followed in rapid suc
cession. These were ordered against
the Western Union, the Postal Tele
graph company and the Associated
Press.
In the latter instance the strike was
the first against the news organiza
tion and was fairly general throughout
the country west of New England.
AVIth the stopping of work by many of
the union operators here a situation
unparalleled has followed, the tele
graph business, though by no means
tied up, being seriously handicapped.
Unexpectedly and when it had been
generally supposed that no action
would be taken locally pending a con
ference of Lnlwr Commissioner Neil
with influential labor representatives
of Chicago Thursday, the union opera
tors declared a strike in the office of
a Western Union office. In explana
tion It was said by the strikers that
three discharged employes who had
applied at the office for wages due
had been treated with scant courtesy.
An hour or so later the men in the
main office of the Postal Telegraph
company walked out. In (his instance
Jt was said the union men had been
nskod to work a wire manned in an
other city by a non-union operator.
Support of Organization.
While these strikes appear to be in
violation of the understanding reach
ed by the local executive officers of the
union Sunday, Immediately following
the walkouts officers of the union de
clared that the strikers would receive
the support of their organization. It
was added that a secret understanding
was reached Sunday through which
authority was given to the local em
ployes of telpgraph companies to go
out at any time that their Interests
seemed to demand immediate action.
The Western Union people claim to
be doing business as usual in this
iclty and to have all the help needed.
5n fact they said that they could not
use all the men seeking employment.
On the other hand, the union men
claim that very few competent men
were working and that the company
was being tied up.
The Postal people claim to have 85
out of a force of about 300 people
working and that tbey are doing busi
ness without serious delay. To this
the strikers replied that the Postal
had not more than 12 operators at
work.
The strike against The Associated
Press began at 8:30 o'clock last night.
It was distinct from the other strikes,
as The Associated Press controls its
own leased wires and the operators
nre In the employ of the news organ
ization. Though no demands had
been made recently by the men tho
strike had been foreshadowed.
Oeoeral Manager Stone received tho
first intimation Sunday night that the
telegraphic force of The Associated
Tress was likely to formulate de
mands. These took form Sunday night
and were put into the form of a peti
tion which reached Mr. Stone Mon
day morning. The petition was signed
by many of the telegraph operators of
The Associated Press throughout the
rountry, and In brief requested a re
duction in the hours of service and an
increase in wages.
During the afternoon Mr. Stone
formulated his re.ply to the operators.
Thus the situation stood at fl p. in.
when the day force went off duty and
the night force came on lu ull the
great news centers of the country.
Operators were In an evident slate of
unrest, and the transmission of new
was frequently Interrupted with mes
sages from point to point canvassing
tlie attitude of the men.
Secretary Russell of the Commercial
Telegraphers' union ndvised the oper
ators to secure definite date for the
consideration of their demands. In
gnme localities a disposition was
shown to remain at work until 7:30
Tuesday night in order that Mr. Stone
might have reasonable opportunity to
communicate with the directors of
The Associated Press. On the other
hand the operators at several South
ern points indicated an intention not
to wait, beyond 7:30 o'clock. This
sentiment found general acceptance,
,and at 7:30 (Chicago time), or 8:30
(New York time) there was general
suspension of the service throughout
the country.
Suspension Not Complete.
In the New York office the suspen
sion was not attended with uny dem
onstration. The men at the keys left
their work and quietly withdrew. The
suspension was not complete, us suffi
cient force remained loyal to send a
partial news service in all directions.
The same condition prevailed at all
large oflices except those In New Eng
land, which were not affected.
In Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washing
ton and Pittsburg, and intermediate
points, a sufficient force remained loy
al to permit tho main body of news tc
piove.
ifrom the shops and then quantities
of miscellaneous household articles
were carried away. After a time we
watchers could hear the sound of ham
mering on metal and we knew the
looters were trying to force the safe
of the state bank.
"Then from afar we heard the
shrieking and wailing of the Jews and
we knew they were being beaten and
murdered by the Arabs. There were
other indications that the French were
not able, with the small force at their
command, to secure possession of the
three landward gates. The Increasing
number of Arabs engaged in the work
of pillage showed us that, attracted
by the sound of firing the tribesmen
were galloping in to fulfill the dream
of the Arab's life, the looting of a
town.
"During the morning the French
cruisers Forbln and Du Chayla and
the Spanish gunboat Don Alvaro de
Hazan arrived, but It was 2 o'clock In
the afternoon before further landing
parties succeeded in stemming the
looting In a small portion of the
(own."
Standard and Railroads Indicted.
Judge Hazel In the federal court
for the Western district of New
York received from the grand Jury at
Jamestown, N. Y., a partial report of
the Investigations which have been
made of the government's charges
against the Standard Oil company, the
Vacuum Oil company, the New York
Central and the Pennsylvania rail
roads of giving and receiving special
and Illegal concessions on the ship
ments of oil from Olean to points in
Vermont.
Tho Indictments charge the Stand
ard and the Vacuum companies with
receiving and accepting such illegal
concessions and they charge the rail
road companies with granting and
giving the concessions.
The law provides a penalty of $20,
000 for each count In each Indictment
In case of conviction. A conviction
on each count would render the Stand
ard, Vacuum, New York Central, and
Pennsylvania liable to fines of $4,
500,000 each or a total of $18,210,000.
Making a New Manufacturing City.
Satisfied that Gary, Ind.. will be the
steel capital of the world, directors
of the United States Steel corporation
will Invest an additional $45,000,000 in
the construction of the model city
and steel plant Just across the Indiana
state line from Chicago.
The $15,000,000 is In addition to the
original appropriation of $75,000,000,
estimated as the necessary outlay for
,the building of the plant and for the
formation of the city which will house
Ithe score of thousands of workers
who will he employed at Gary when
the final plans of the steel kings have
been consummated.
The excess appropriation Is to be
used In widening the scope and extent
of the steel plant proper. The cost
of the building of Gary is included in
the first estimate, which was made
when it was proiiosed to transform
a desert of drifting sand Into the
greatest steel manufacturing city of
the continent.

At 1 o'clock Monday afternoon the
operators in the main office of the
Western Union Telegraph company in
N-5W York went out. There had been
rumors that such a move was in con
templation, but up .to a few minutes
before 1 o'clock there were no signs
of the intended action. At exactly 1
o'clock a shrill Whistle was sounded
through the big operating room and
many of the men left their keys.
The operators of the Postal com
pany struck at 2:30 o'clock Monday
afternoon.
The telegraphers are out In a num

commissioner was proceeding in the
matter at the request of President

tion. With the strike of 'the Postal and
Western Union telegraph employes,

Mr. Delamater was born March 31,
1849, in Meadville. His education was
received at Allegheny College and at
the Harvard Law school.
He engaged In banking but his in
terests were diversified and generally
successful: In 187G he became mayor
of Meadville and- in 1S80 ho was a
Republican presidential elector for
Pennsylvania. In 1S8G he was elected
to the state senate and In 1890 he
became the Republican nominee for
governor, through the support of Uni
ted States Senator Matthew Stanley
Quay. The Democratic candidate
was Robert E. Pattison, and the cam
paign was one of the most bitter
ever held In Pennsylvania. Pattison
won but only because Allegheny
county turned against Delamater.
Looting of Casablanca.
A long despatch from an eye witness
of the recent events at Casablanca,
is dated August 8. The writer says
that Saturday and Sunday passed per
fectly quietly in Casablanca, Muley
Aniln, the military governor, having
employed soldiers to guard I ho town
from Arab attack and done everything
possible conscientiously to secure its
safety.
"There were a number of Arabs 12
miles distant," the writer goes on,
"but a majority of them Dud returned
to their Interrupted harvesting and it
waa supposed the French would
attempt nothing with the snuill force
available from the Galilee. We all
retired to rest with quiet minds.
"At 4 o'clock Monday morning,
however, wo were suddenly alarmed
by a summons to repair to the British
consulate owing to notice from the
Gililee tha it was intended to land a
force and occupy the town at 5 o'clock.
An American resident of many years.
Captain Cobb, declined to take shelter
at the British consulate; consequently
the consul sent part of his guard of
soldiers to protect Captain Cobb." '
The correspondent then describes
the landing of the French force be
tween 5 and 6 and the subsequent
events as narrated In former des
patches. Further he says:
"With the firing of the first shot
the authority of Muley Amln and his
organization vanished. His soldiers
bolted with their rifles, leaving tho
town exposed to pillage, in which they
themselves participated. By break
fast time we began to see men
staggering along the streets under
heavy burdens, and fierce white robed
Arabs carrying guns and mounted on
fine horses began to ride about direct
ing looting operations.
"Even women were seen carrying
loads and agisting in the pillage. At

DREAMS OF COMING DEATH.
Cleveland Man Surprises Pittsburg In
surance Company.
Pittsburg, Aug. 13. Following a se
ries of dreams in which were visions
of how he would meet with, an awful
death In a railroad accident Leo A.
Adrian, a resident of Cleveland, O.,
has startled the insurance element of
this city by canceling a $10,1)00 Insur
ance policy. He does not believe in
jilaying a sure thing on the corpora
tions who take long chances on the
lives of thousands, and It is needless
to state that the policy was canceled
as ordered by the following letter:
Cleveland, Aug. 8, 1907.
The Central Accident Insurance Com
pany of Pittsburg.
Gentlemen: The step I am now tak
ing may appear strange to you, but it
Is no more so than the motive that
deads me. I will therefore confine my
self to stating that I have absolute
and unmistakable knowledge that my
death will occur in about eight weeks
in consequence of a railroad accident
which will happen next month.
In view of this knowledge I feel that
(1 would be wronging you In taking ad
vantage of a condition which neither
you nor I had In mind when I took out
my policy (No. 823,712). I, therefore,
surrender the same to you without any
reserve and release you from this day
on of each and every obligation you
have undertaken when you issued said
policy to me.
Respectfully yours,
LEO A. ADRIAN,
1111 Chestnut avenue, Cleveland.
On Friday Adrian was mailed a
check covering the unexpired prem
ium. Ralph Butler of the company
says this was done with the greatest
dispatch. Adrian took out the policy
In Atlantic City. His asking for its
cancellation is the first caHe on record
in this country. When Interviewed
last night Adrian said:
"I saw myself killed in a dream
within a few weeks. After I had the
first dream there were a number of
matters that I questioned. Then,
when each doubtful point was made
in the following dreams, I began to un
derstand that my death was sure to
come."

or other considerations.
