Will Try to Run With Non-Union
Men—Asked 25 Per Cent Increase..
Chicago, Nov. 11.
of the 3,000 employes of the Chicago
City Railway was decided upon to-
night at a mass meeting of the men.
They will quit work at four o’clock
tomorrow morning.
This decision was reached after a
controversy that has lasted two
weeks between the representatives of
the union and the management of the
railway. Numerous conferences have
been held in an effort to adjust the
difficulty by arbitration but without
satisfactory results, and the decision
tonight to strike tomorrow morning
was unanimously endorsed. The de-
mands were for a wage increaae of
25 per cent, recognition of the union
and several other minor concessions.
The company, it is said, has several
hundred men in readiness to take the
places of the strikers, and will en-
deavor to run the cars with non union
men.

Protesting Against Smoot.
Washington, Nov. 11.—Several hun-
dred petitions protesting against Reed
Smoot retaining his seat as junior sen-
ator from Utah were filed in the senalt
today. Most of these were offered by
Senator Burrows, chairman of the elec-
tions committee, though nearly every
state registered objections through pc
titlons filed by their senators.
Churches, religious organizations of all
kinds, universities, colleges and other
, educational institutions are among the
A general strike organizations which have filed pro-
tests. Some of these petitions charge
that Senator Smoot has practiced
polygamy, while others rest their ob-
jections on the charge that he is a

loose and allowing it to run out from
a side track on which it had been
placed to the main irack, where there
was a heavy down grade.
While running; at a higli rate of
speed, It met and almost crashed

STEEL TRUST ECONOMIZES.
Will Be Far-Reaching and Affect Many
Men—Millions to Be Saved by
Retrenchment.
New York, Nov. 11.—The economies
in production of the United States
Steel corporation are far-reaehtng.
An official of the corporation Is quot-
ed today on the subject as follows:
“The retrenchments to be accomp-
lished through reductions In wages
cannot count tor much before Janu-
ary 1. They will total at least 20 per
cent In the salaries the plan contem-
plates. with savings of approximately
30 per cent through discharges and re-
ductions. In freight rates we hope to
save at least 10 per cent which will
net -us *5,000,000. When the work
now under way is completed it will
be tantamount to a reorganization.
Debut of Young Violinist.

sical wonder" is here to delight the
American public. He is Edwin

youngest violinist now before the pub-
lic. having just attained his nine-

he made his professional debut with
the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
with success. Later in 1902 he filled
orchestral engagements in Vienna,
Liepsic and Munich, and this last
spring appeared in laandon.
I tenances the practice of plural mar-
' riage. Senator Burrows said today
that no action will lie taken by the
eleetlons committee until the one va-
cancy on the committee had been filled
and ‘that it is not likely the charges
will be considered before tie last week
of the special session or the first week
of the regular session.

notices to this effect have been served

The tie-up is still as effective and
perhaps more so Ilian on Monday

rumor here tonight is to tho effect
lhat flip operators are planning to

the week, by Importing coal miners

Oils is denied by the fuel company of-

reached before the end of the week.

Boston, Mas: , Nov 11.—Reports
from the centers of the cotton mill
industry throughout New England in-
dicate thut today's announcement at
Fall River Unit a HI per cent reduc-
tion In wages had been decided upon
by the cot ton manufacturers there, to
go into effect November 23, hud caus-
ed general uneasiness, duo to the be-
lief that an equal reduction at other
places-is inevitable. It, is conceded
llml this will be the case in Rhode
I Island mid eastern Connecticut, and it

Massachusetts may follow the ex-
j ample sei by Full River, though their
: eases are . uniewhat dissimilar.
In Taunton the Oorr Manufactur-
1 mg company lias already made a 10
j per cent reduction, and while the mill
men at New Bradford, Lowell amt
Lawrence are rcticient concerning
Iheir plans, they .admit that the con-
dition of (tie cotton market Is all
against the manufacturers. It is be-
lieved lo Is- equivalent to saying that
i wage reduction is something to be
seriously considered
The situation In Maine and New
Hampshire will hardly be affected.
Maine did not share in tl^e wage ad-
vance of two years ago and ho lias a
| negative advantage now.
I Mill agents at Manchester, New
] Ilanipshlre, which is one of the larg-
i -si cotton manufacturing center* in

Reports from the labor unions in
