THREATEN GENERAL . Y. STRIKE
GENERAL STRIKE NEXT WEEK
UNLESS DEMANDS ARE MET
International News Service.
NEW YOltK, Sept. 21.—In spite of
the boast of Police Commissioner
Woods that no more rioting would oc
cur in this city during the present
strike, riotious mobs hold complete
control of many streets in different
parts of the city last night. As fast
as they were dispersed in one place
they reassembled elsewhere.
Surface cars wore stopped and traffic
suspended for hours, the strike break
ers in every case being severely hand
led though no serious injuries were
reported. Many of the strike breakers !
are throwing up their jobs.
A six year old boy, hit by a flying
brick, is now in a dying condition in a
hospital.
Police reserves wore unable to cope
with the situation. They were rushed
from place to place only to have fur
ther calls sent in.
Samuel Gompcrs, president of the
American Federation of Pahor, is us
ing his influence with the various
unions, whose membership of over
f ight hundred thousand, has voted to
go on a sympathetic strike, to the end
that no precipitate action be taken.
On the other hand he is urging the ,
business men to remember that an
important principle is at strako and !
that its relinquishment at this time1
would be very injurious to the cause
of organized labor.
Union leaders say that a general
industrial strike in the city of New
York will be inaugurated early ’next 1
week unless the traction company
agrees to reinstate the discharged
union men before two o'clock tomor
row afternoon. This, the* leaders say,
iis their last word.
Nevertheless owing to tlomper’s in
fluence and the public demand for a
speedy settlement, a delegation of
leaders representing the street car j
union and unions threatening to strike :
are scheduled for a conference this I
atfernoon with a sub-committee of the
citizen's committee of seventy live.
A determined attempt will be made
to agree upon some sort of a truce to
ward off the awful conditions which
would prevail in case a general indus
trial strike occurred.
Shouts of the traction company is
bitterly cursed by both business men
and workers. lie refuses ,to yield a
little point of policy anil his refusal
may mean the loss of millions of dol
lars to the people of the city in addi
tion to scenes of disorder with the
probability of bloodshed, and great
suffering by the poor. It is rumored
that Wall street interests arc thinking
of removing him from the leadership
of the traction company.

VILLA CAPTURES CHIHUAHUA ANO
LEAVES WITH BIG BOOTY
Pacific Neo/s Serv ce
EL PASO, Sept. 21. Tt is reported
here today that Villa succeeded yes
terday in seizing Palo Blanco, a su
perb of Chihuahua city but that in
is now in full retreat pursued by Car
ranzlstas.
He made, it is said, a sttrprisi at
tack and ltad things his own wa\ until
General Trevino was able to get his
forces in action when he beat a hasty
retreat. Further details arelaeking.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. Accord
ing to a report of General Bell the city
of Chihuahua was yesterday in the
hands of bandit Villa who had com
plete command of the city for many
hours.
General .Hell says that his informa
tion as 1st the number of men tinder
Villa is conflicting. From tin figures
given him he can only deduce that
the number was somewhere between
five hundred and seventeen hundred.
The attacking party, whatever it
may have been, was certainly smaller
i than the force that withdrew with
Villa because it is known, says Bell,
that many htfndreds of former Car
ranzistas joined tin* bandit’s army.
The attacking party gained control
for the second time within ten days
of the governor’s palace, the federal
building and the penitentiary. Villa
caused tin prisoners* to be released,
seized arms and ammunition, and sup
plies and sent them out in great
haste. Then after a brief opposition
th* <eneral Trevino’s forces he made
good his escape with an enlarged army
and * <i>iipmenl for them.
general Bell states that Villa’s plan
«»f action while in Chihuahua shows
that he *»nl\ intended a raid an*l not
permanent o* eupa f ion.
Bell is of the opinion that Carranza's
infill* m-*1 is on the wane and that a
stronger man will have to take Un
reins m order t«» secure a settled eon
dition <»f affairs in Mexico.

“FEED AMERICA FIRST” SLOGAN
OF NEW YORK BAKERS
International News Service.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21. The price nf
llotir due to exportations of wheat and
flour to the warring nations has soar
ed to such a height that bakers find it
Impossible to make the five and ten
cent loaves of the weight and qualitj
required 1>\- the city ordinances and
to sell them at a profit. A recent in
crease in wages to employes has made
the situation moro intolerable to the
master bakers.
As a result of this state of affairs
twenty five thousand purveyors of (
bread arc causing a monster petition
to be circulated. The petition is ad
dressed to the federal trade commis- ;
sion and each of the tens of thou- |
sands of parts of the immense appeal
is headed liy the slogan in heavy typo,
■•I'Wd Americans First."
The petition asks the federal eom
mission to exercise its powers to have
an embargo placed on tlie exportation j
of brendstuffs.
The commission is authorized by
law to investigate trade conditions in ,
foreign countries with respect to com
binations or other conditions affect
ing tlie foreign trade of the United
States. Certain other functions of the .
commission combine with investigation
the duty of making particular recom
mendation.
Ii is thought that the commission’s
power is not sufficient to prevent
ram shipment hut it is beloved that
a i ecommeudat ion of an embargo
would he acted on favorably by con
gress especially if the movement shall
spread to other cities and the Indus
trial centers as is expected.
