1,300 WORKERS I OUT ON STRIKE Chicago Interurban Employes Strike Against Pay Reduction Chicago, Aug. 16 KU.R> The 1,300 operating employes of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railroad, an interurban electric line servicing north shore suburbs and Milwaukee, went on strike early today and halted all company trains in protest against a 15 per cent wage reduction. The strike, the first during the company's 40 years of operation, was called at a midnight meeting. Members of the Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employes of America, affiliate of the American Federation of Labor, which claims 500 of the operating employes, voted 442 to 6 for the strike. Members of the Brotherhood of Enginemen and Firemen, which claim the remainder, supported the strike unanimously. The brothel hoods are not affiliated with the A. F. of L. The strike was carried out in an orderly manner. Motormen and conductors left their trains on arrival at terminals. Two hours after the vote, all trains had been brought to a standstill. The strike suspended all electric railway service between Chicago and Milwaukee, closed down street cars and buses operated by the company in North Chicago and Waukegan, and left all of Chicago's north shore suburbs — Wilmette, Glencoe. Winnetka, Waukegan, Kenilworth, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, and other smaller ones — without electric service. However, the communities were not isolated. The Chicago and Northwestern railroad operates parallel to the North Shore tracks as far as Milwaukee and officials of the road immediately ordered schedules speeded up to handle an overflow. The strike was not expected to inconvenience suburbanites seriously. but appeared certain to disrupt travel between North Chicago and Waukegan as the company operates only surface line between the communities. The North Shore line operates 236 trains in and out of Chicago daily, carrying approximately 28,000 pasesngers, the majority of them commuters. A. A. Sprague, receiver for the North Shore company, said no attempt would be made to continue operations and officials of the affiliated unions of the Chicago Rapid Transit company (the elevated line over which North Shore trains are run in Chicago proper) warned members of their union not to aid in reestablishing North Shore, service. The controversy has no connectio with the current wage cut mediation case involving the nation's class 1 railroads ad the railroad brotherhoods. The amalgamated does not belong to the railroad union group and officials of the brotherhoods involved in the strike said it was definitely a local issue. The company has operated for 19 years under a contract with division 900 of the amalgamated. The brotherhoods, which claim a majority of the workers, recently asked the national labor relations board to determine who should be the bargaining agent. The lasth contract between the amalgamated and the company expired May 21. Since then it has been continued through written agreement with a 30-day cancellation clause. Negotiations for a new contract failed and. on July 15. Sprague invoked the 30-day clause. He said declining revenue necessitated the cut, effective today, if the lines were to continue operation. Upon receipt ot the notice ot cancellation the employes voted not to work after Aug. 15 without a contract. Sprague referred the matter to a federal court and received authorization for the reduction. Under the old contract motormen were paid 81 cents an hour; conductors 72 cents an hour; collectors. 67 cents an hour aud ticket agents. $3.62 a day. All worker 40 hours a week except the ticket agents. o INJURIES ARE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) of all blame. The fatal accident happened about one mile west of Willshire. Ohio, in Blue Creek township, as Mr. (Byer was reutrning from a shopping tour in the Ohio town. The efforts of the grandfather to save the lad's life went to naught, despite the fact that he used his hands to hold in the lade intestines and stomach. The gash had permitted them to fall outside the stomach walls. The death of the young lad is the latest in undoubtedly the worst peroiod of traffic crashes on the coun- ( ty s highways.

FURTHER PLANS FOR CENTENNIAL Catholic Sisters Arrive For Centennial Mass Here Sunday A number of Catholic Sisters are already arriving in the city for the Centennial observance of St. Mary's Catholic church next Sunday. The Sisters will be the guests of parents and relatives in the city and county and will attend the outdoor Centenary mass in the school yard Sunday morning. The service is held in commemoration of the saying of the first mass in Decatur one hundred years ago last spring. A solemn high, mass, with Most Rev. Bishop John F. Noll, D. D., of Fort Wayne attending, will be held at 10 o'clock. Rev. Father Joseph J. Seimetz, pastor, will be the celebrant. Other officers of the mass will be Decatur men who are ordained to the priesthood. The famous Paulist choir, composed of 100 boys, from Chicago, directed by Father Eugene O'Malley, will sing the special high mass. Father Jerome J. Travers of Anderson will deliver the sermon. The public is invited to attend. Six other masses will be said Sunday morning at St. Mary’s church. The time of the masses is 6,7, 8 and 9 o'clock. Several hundred copies ot the history of the parish written by Father Seimetz have already been sold. The book recites the founding of the Catholic parish and its growth during the last century. o SOL MOSSER TO (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) illustrate the methods practiced by Mr. Mosser in the breeding and management of his herd, which has made this splendid record possible. A part of this herd will be on exhibit in the cattle barn, as a part of the educational dairy exhibit, sponsored by the Indiana State Jersey Cattle club. Dairymen are invited to study Mr. Mosser's success story in the Purdue building, and to see the educational exhibits in the cattle barn. lican conscience?* ” Mr. Roosevelt offered the spearhead for a Tydings purge, which has been expected for weeks, at the conclusion of his anniversary address when he said: “Finally. I thank publicly, as I have so often them privately, four men who have long and distinguished careers in the public service—Congressman David J. Lewis of Maryland, who is known as one of the American pioneers in the cause of social security; Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York, who was long its advocate; Sen. Harrison of Mississippi, and Congressman Doughton of North Carolina, who carried the bill successfully through the senate and the house of representatives.” The refrence to chairman Pat Harison. of the senate finance committee, followed by only a few hours his pledge to oppose any efforts to restore the undistributed profits and capital gains taxes, favorites of the president which Harrison succeeded in emasculating at the last session. In some quarters tne inclusion of Harrison was seen as a bid for peace. On the senate floor last spring he denounced the president and the tax levies after Mr. Roosevelt had attacked him and other conservative senators for their stand on corporation taxes. In mentioning Wagner, who is up for renomination this year, Mr. Roosevelt merely reiterated support of one of his most loyal senate supporters. There was no stake in the case of Rep. Robert L. Doughtoll, D., N. C., because he already has been renominated. The president also paid tribute “to those splendid citizens who so greatly helped me in making social legislation possible.” “First of all," he said, “to the first woman who has ever sat in the cabinet of the United States — Miss Frances Perkins — then and now the secretary of labor." Indicating his desire for prompt amendment of the social security act, the president declared himself “hopeful that ou the basis of studies and investigations now under way, the cogress will improve and extend the law." He referred tq surveys being made by a special advisory council of business, labor and consumers’ representatives with the technical aJd of the social security board. Its recommendations are ’ expected to be ready when the new congress convenes. The council now is studying the ' possibility of providing old age insurance to demestic help and farm labor and protection to employes’ orphans and widows. Mr. Roosevelt mentioned specifi- . rally only widows and orphans. And, while he reminded that recently he had called a national health conference to consider means of extending to the masses more adequate medical service, he did uot indicate that legislation to that end was in the offing.
