IS THE UNION THE SOLUTION?
Every strike of Importance emphasizes with greater stress the fact that the labor trust and the trusts of capital are the greatest problems of the age. The telegraphers' strike is the latest occurrence to call attention to this oft-sug-g-ested truth. Sinco time out of mind it has been the masses against the so-called "upper classes." In feudal times it was the commoners against the baronage. In Tiussla It la the peasantry against the "landed proprietors." In America it Is labor against capital. Also vice versa. In modern times, the situation, so far as the laboring classes are concerned, has been crystalized under "unionism," which in the old world is not so modern as it might be. In certain oriental countries, notably China, unions, or guilds,
as they are called there, have flourished for centuries. They have been instrumental in curbing progress and invention as they might be in America if they become sufficiently powerful, for the majority of new devices adopted are Intended to act as labor savers and to the extent they are successful, reduce the amount of help needed in certain lines. In short, for generations, the classes dependent upon the work of brawn and of skill as opposed to that of brain have been striving to better themselves. They have employed all sorts of means from red revolution to moral suasion and quiet force to win their causo and so far as wages are concerned, the unions have certainly reached such a degree of success that there is no questioning their efficiency. Tho unions have brought up wages in many instances 100 per cent. On the other hand, living has greatly increased, the price of building homes has increased to an extent which renders it quite as difficult for working men to own a home as In tho days of lesser wage. So far as living is concerned, the prices have been brought up by tho two forces which are fighting tooth and nail against each other. Meats, for example, have been made a luxury by reason of the arbitrary xmttlng up of the prices by combinations of capital and by the Increased cost of labor. The telegraph operators, to go back to tho present burning question, are rejoicing In tho fact that they have a $1,000,000 relief fund. Does it occur to . them that they have provided this fund themselves and that while they are lying In enforced Idleness, subsisting on short rations for the unions never pay strikers full wages they are merely paying back to themselves money that might have been profitably Invested, that In fact they are paying dearly for their own fight and that they will have to continue to do so as long as there are combinations of labor and of capital? That while they are doing this they are paying exhorbltant prices for everything and that they and their fellow unionists are in a measuro responsible in making tho cost of necessities higher? Even allowing that without unions there would not be so great a surplus Baved to the working man after his expenses outside of union dues were all paid, what surplus there was would be worth more for the reason that prices would be lower. When all is said and done, do statistics show that more working men own their own homes under the present system than before the unions were powerful? They do not. Is there more thrift among the working classes? Most decidedly no. strikes mean idleness and idleness implies thrlftlessness. The one cannot be without tho other. There is no doubt that the rank and file of unionism are working for the good of all with all sincerity of purpose. There is a question whether the same can bo said of the leaders, but that is neither here nor there. The question has resolved itself into this: Is unionism the solution of the wage earners problem? If it is, more power to tho cause. Tho question, however, is a many sided one and there Is no doubt that between the unions and the greed of corporations, that great body of humanity, known as the general public, whose Individuals many of them follow callings which It would be impracticable to organize, are ground to a condition bordering on the intolerable.

In a pitcher's battle yesterday be
tween Jimmy Clark, Captain Anson's tar twlrler, who was in the box Cor Hammond, and Hoete of the Normals, pitching for the Whiting Greys, the local team won by a Fcore of 4-3 in one of the most exciting: games at
Hubbard's Park this season. The local team started out by grab
bing off two runs in the first inning
due mainly to poor fielding on the part of the Whiting team but for the next four innings all the locals could get was goose eggs. For the ft-rst three
innngs, lilting failed to land a
run but in their half of the fourth, they
tied the score, batting in two runs
In the fifth nothing was stirring for either team but in the sixth Klose
scored another run for Hammond.
In the seventh neither side was able to scoro although it looked mighty
blue for Hammond when Whiting had only one man out with bases full but it was here that Clark, the Invincible Jimmy, showed the crowd of fans what
was in him by striking out the next two batters who were considered the
best batters on the Whiting team.
The game started off in the eighth with the score" of 3-2 in favor of the locals but in the visitors' half by timely hits
they again scored and it was then that the excitement began, In the locals half they succeeded in shoving over another run. In the ninth the Whiting team gathered about their captain and It
looked like there would be something
I doing. Clarke( however, struck out
the first two men but was touched for
a single by Schrage. With two stiik
es on the next batter Schrage tried to steal second but was caught on a good
throw by Eder, ending the game.
Fans who saw the game, went away
for once this season, saying it was
the best game played on the local dia
mond. From start to finish It was a pitcher's battle and although Moste
struck out more men than Clarke, the Chicago boy. had it on him for all
round work.
The Hammond team go to LaPorte
next Sunday where they will meet the
LaPorte bunch who have gained such
a reputation this year as sluggers.

Before tho Standard Steel Car company located its plant on Columbia avenue that street might have been taken off the map. It was of use only to describe tho outer boundaries of the city. Today tho new car works aro an objective point for thousands of people, and as objective points aro only reached in cities, by means of streets, Columbia avenue has become an important thoroughfare. It was paved by the city and is now in good condition for traffic of all kinds. But Columbia avenue Is not accessible from the other paved streets of the city. State and Summer streets extend out that far, but the other streets do not and it is necessary for wagons to go through tho sand to reach It from either the northern or the extreme southern parts of the city. This is especially true of Michigan avenue. There is no means of reaching Columbia avenue from the territory east of Calumet avenue and north of the Michigan Central tracks on a paved road and the property owners are daily being inconvenienced by having to go in a roundabout way to the Standard Steel Car plant, when, if Michigan avenue was paved they could reach their destination by going half of the distance. It is a matter that should be given the immediate attention of the city officials, and In fact the whole problem of connecting the east and west paved streets with Columbia avenue should be taken up and settled at once. It will ttid materially In the growth and development of the eastern part of the city. IF HAYWOOD is in sympathy with the waving of red flags during his welcome in Chicago, Roosevelt had it about right when he called him an undesirable citizen. When these socialistic fanatics take up the emblem of the Russian anarchists in preference to "Old Glory," it is time real Americans called a halt.

The Cubs managed to take both
games of the double header yesterday afternoon, but in both games it was a narrow squeak. The score of both the
games were alike, 1 to 0, and both con
tests were pitchers battles from start to finish. Overall pitched eight innings
of the first game and did well until
the closing round when a couple of
lits landed three men on bases. Chance
could not see the game go wrong, how
ever, at this period and although two
men were out, he pulled Overall out of
the box and sent Brown in to finish the Inning. Courtney was at the bat
and the crowd fully expected to see
the game lost to the Cubs, when the
batter sent up a weak fly. Moren was
in the box for the visitors and he held
the Cubs down to eix hits. The win
ning run came In the fourth inning.
Schulte was passed and then Del How
ard came to the front with a three
bagger and the game was won. The
.second contest dragged along like the
lirst with Pfiester and Richie battling,
the Cubs getting five hits and the Phillies four. The fifth Inning when after
one was out, Moren sliced a two bagger,
Pfiester went out and Slagle got a
single, scoring the only run of the
game.
Chicago, Aug. 12. All union com
mercial telegraphers employed by telegraph corporations, both In tho United States and Canada, will be called on strike within the next twenty-four hours, according to National Secretary
Russell, of the telegraphers' union.
New York, Aug. 12. The New
York telegraphers will not strike at
least not before next Friday. At a
meeting of local No. 10 of the Com
mercial Telegraphers Union of Amer
ica a request was received from the National Civic Federation to postpone action for the present, and stating that
Ralph M. Easley, of the National Civ
ic Federation; Samuel Gompers, presl
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, and Labor Commissioner Neill
would go to Chicago today to meet President S. J. Small, of the telegraphers' union, upon his arrival there from
San Francisco, The request was ac
ceded to and it was decided to take
no action until next Friday.
Small States Ilia Position.
Pan Francisco, Aug. 12. It Is an
nounced by S. J. Small, national prefd
dent of the Commercial Telegraphers
Union of America, that if by tomorrow no way is found to bring about con
ciliation in the telegraphers' controver
sy a general strike will be called by
him. Small further paid that he had
advised Charles P. Neill, United States commissioner of labor, that he could
agree to an immediate resumption of
work if the government would insist upon an investigation or arbitration of
the telegraphers' grievances.
Chicago the Storm Center. Chicago, Aug. 12. With Chicago as
the center, the strike of the commer
cial telegraphers has spread to nearly
every section of the country. Up to
this writing the telegraph offices of
more than forty cities have been deserted by the operators. At Chicago,
although a few leased wires are work
ing and the Associated Press con
tinues to furnish the newspapers with the regular day and night reports, so
far as the public is concerned, the city

Is the fastest last half of any long dis

BOTH SIDES ARE DETER3I1XED
In a one-sided game here today, Low
ell defeated Hegewisch 17-0. Hegewisch put up a poor exhibition of base
ball and were entirely outclassed. Mr. Purcell of the Lake Shore league, umpired the game and did it well. Irwin,
Lowell's star slab artist pitched a great game. He allowed only 28 men to face
him in nine innings. No one walked.
No one got hit. Only five scratch hits
were made off him.
The Sox arrived home last night af
ter their terrible experience in Boston, where they lost four out of five games,
and with them came the very team
that walloped them, to take another crack at the champs on the South Side grounds. Will the Sox take revenge
or will the Beaneaters continue to make
monkeys of them, is the question that is puzzling the fans this morning. Jones aid his men have not lost con
fidence as yet and expect to speedily walk back into first place now that
they are home. The eastern trip was
bad from the field, but was a money maker for the box office, and huge crowds turned out in every city to watch the Sox play. The Sox were to have stopped off at Sandusky to play an exhibition game yesterday, but could not make connections. The two teams will open up today and play four games.
The Cubs left for their third and last invasion of the East, last night and
will stop off at Altoona, Penn., today
for an exhibition game with the local team. It seems at the close of the year when the condition of the men count a whole lot, these exhibition games should be cut out and the men
given the benefit of a rest. But the box office runs the game and there
you are.
Purnham or Hegewisch peopl-i take exception to the cartoons and remarks of the sporting writers that they are now off the pugilistic map since the downfall of Batling Nelson. On Tuesday night they claim they will bring to the fore several lad3 who will soon climb into the ptace left vacant by the Batler. A series of bouts will be held at Patton's hall on that date. Among those to take a part will be Pat O'Mal-
Uen Are Full of Strike and Companies
Preparing to Resist.
Chicago, Aug. 12. The telegraph
strike situation Is unquestionably bad
Lth parties to the controversy are full of fight The men are "spoiling for a
strike" and the companies Involved are
determined to resist to the bitter end
Here the companies are preparing for a siege indeed the buildings occupied are in a state of siege and no one Is
allowed to go to the operating rooms without stating his business, strikers
not being allowed there at all.
Redding, cooking utensils and provisions are being put in the quarters
of both companies, so tnat men em
ployed to take the strikers' places may
be kept off the streets and out of the way of Interference, and a search for r.ew men is going on everywhere and
the non-union force Is being Icreased. Conditions here show Improvement in
the offices of both companies, the in
creased forces being obtained by hiring new men, in part, but in a greater
measure by calling in men from small
er towns and cities. The two compa
nles are working together against the strike and are perfectly agreed as to
their course.
j.ne two xeiegrapn companies an nounced that they would re-engage op A I 1 T
erators singly anu not as union ox
non-union men; that the "Western Un
ion company would receive no commit
tee of strikers to discuss mediation. At New York the same conditions prevail
neither company shows the least sign
of weakening. So far the men
are enthusiastic for striking. It re-
Ed Ruelbach did not leave with the Qnired earnest efforts on the part of
the conservatives at the New Y'ork
meeting to get consent to wait untl
Friday, to give Commissioner Nell
nd his colleagues a chance to recon
cile the trouble. The same enthusiasm
for striking exists here and at all oth
er points from which reports have been
received. DEMANDS ON NEWS MEN Go In with, the Announcement of Continental Strike Order.
Chicago, Aug. 12. At a meeting of the strikers at Brand's hall yesterday afternoon Secretary Russell, of the tele
Karger of St. Louis pitched a fine game yesterday against the Boston Nationals and nearly equalled the record of old Cy Young, as in the seven innings played not a man reached first nor was a hit made. St. Louis won both games in a double header.

sponsibility of ordering locals back?"
To this Small replied as follows:
"Cause of present trouble is repudia
tion of San Francisco agreement which
settled strike. Local Manager O'Brien, Chief Operator Jeffs end Superintendent May have repeatedly discriminated
against strikers. Women telegraphera
after returning to work humiliated to
such extent resigned. Western Union
reinstated less than 100 strikers; many
still out of employment, including mar
rled men. Notwithstanding agreement
provides reinstatement strikers without prejudice outsiders given prefer
ence and employed.
"Present strike illegal, but provoca
tion great and resentment against
Western Union officials because of bad faith 6o universal that general strike be authorized Tuesday unless wo can
find way to bring about conciliation.
Answering your last question, can
guarantee immediate resumption of
work if government will insist upon
Investigation or arbitration of proposi
tions embodied in memorial addressed
to board of directors of Western Un
ion last June. Local management's
petty discrimination and favoritism toward woman Nichols on Los Angeles circuit caused transfers and dismissals of men long in company's service, and
finally strike."
The Western Union officials deny
that they either repudiated or failed
to carry out the San Francisco agree
ment.
