INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! The strike, according1 to all reports, has made little progress In Indianapolis or other Indiana cities, only a few scat, i tered men are out. It is reported from Indianapolis that the president of the ! local union there has ordered his men hack to work, saying the odds are too great to fight the companies when so few men went out. (buxuetht.) r INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! CHICAGO, June 13. Claims of the rival organizations, notwithstanding the strike of commercial telegraphers against the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies, today gave every indication of settling down into a protracted and bitter fight. t The real teat of strength in the hattle apparently is yet to come. S. J. Xonenkamp, president of the telegraphers, today said: "We realized when we called this strike that it would he a long fight and we knew that we would have to fight Mr. Burleson as well as the telegraph companies. We are prepared to fight to the last ditch and are absolutely eon.fident of the final result." Statements from officials of the telegraph companies in every city affected hy the strike indicate a similar unre. 1 en ting attitude t and made it very evident that there Is no idea as yet of capitulation in any camp. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! CHICAGO. June 12 The nation-wide Strike of union telegraphers ia a success and will gain strength as it grows older. The strike is a flat failure and within a few hours will fizzle out entirely. These are the views of the situation e.ld todaysthe first by officials and members of the Commercial Telegraphers Union; the second by officials of the Western Union Telegraph Co., and to some extent by Postal Telegraph company heads. TAKE VOIR CHOICE. The public is privileged to accept either view. According to S. J. Konenkamp. president of the union, the first day cf the strike vok between 1S.000 and. 20.000 men and women from their keys. Konenkamp maintained today that other operators would go out on strike until the numher Is increased to forty thousand by tonight. Head of the telegraph companies, particularly the Western Union, dispute these figures and claim that an insignificant number of their men have pone on strike. WAS OT HAMPERED. Analyzing the reports re-eved from the various sections of the nation, it is evident that, except in a few localities the Western Union is not affected by the strike to an extent that would seriously hamper the operation Of the system.

GERMANS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE (Continued from pace one cent greater than in the United States or Great Britain this being especially true among the poorest class. Apparently no successful effort has been maije to reduce it. An orgy of spending has developed among the newly rich unequalled in the history of Paris, while the workers have not much more than the price of bread. Strikes are prevailing throughout the nation as a result. Premier Clemenceau who has been trying his hardest to secure a settlement of international war problems has been unable to devote personal attention to domestic remedies. Thus he has become the target for personal abuse which he did not deserve. The English situation is not so bad, although it is still serious. In Italy, where the army has not ben demobilized, there is much unrest. The next few days, however, should determine whether it is possible to solve the problems and compel Germany to sign the peace treaty or whether warfare will necessarily be resumed. Never before has there been such necessity for the leading nations of th.'. world to "sit tight' to avoid a rupture. The next week is the most mementous and the future of the world" is virtually "In the lap of the Gods." As a matter of fact the leaders are not agreed on the question whether the armies are willing to resume fighting. MILL OFFICIAL LEAVING GARY G. H. Brayton, for a number of years superintendent of the galvanizing department of the sheet mill American Sheet and Tin Plate company at Gary, has resigned his position and on Saturday of this week will go to Newport.
