TELEPHONE
TIE-UP NOW
Chicago, Aug. 16. ? A meeting of the Executive Bo;ird of the Telephoue Operators
of the United States, which embraces all the larger cities of the country, is meeting here
today and decided to call out all telephone operators of the country who are members of
their union. This will cause the greatest suspension ot business that the United States
has ever known. It will be utterly impost i Lie to transact business in the big cities where
the telephones are indispensible. The situation is fast approaching a grave crisis. Loss
to business amounts to thousands of dollars a day. The feeling prevails that the opera
tors must win out in the strike despite the stubborn position of the Postal and Western
Union.
ALL HAVE GONE OUT
Chicago, Aug. 16. ? The Executive Committee of the telegraphers met yesterday and
ordered out every telegraph operator in the United States. The Federation of Railroad
Operators have endorsed the action. The Associated Press has announced their intention
to never again employ the striking operators who are out.
BOSTON PRINTERS REFUSE
Boston. Aug. 16. ? All printers employed on newspapers which receive telegraph
service have refused to handle all copy that comes to them over the Western Uuion or
Postal lines.
RAILWAY MEN DECLINE
Portland, Ore. Aug. 16. ? The- railway operators throughout the state of Oregon
have refused to in any manner assist in sending commercial messages over the railroad
lines.
. GENERAL * STRIKE ORDER SIGNED
Chicago, Aug. 16. ? President Small of the Telegraphers Union has signed an order
for a general strike of all operators throughout the United States. President Samuel
(.Tompers and Labor Commissioner Neil 1 have gone to Oyster Bay to confer with President

THE ALASKAN IS REMEMBERED
The Alaskan thankfully acknowl-^
edges the ivceipt of a handsome vase
of beautiful hot house flowers from Mrs. j
A. L. Grant of this city. The Rowers
came yesterday mor.ning: while the ex
cursionists were in town and shortly af
terwards, when they came flockiug into (
the office to hear the late news from j
the outside, they expressed wonder at ,
the idea thai flowers like the ones they
saw could be raised in Alaska.
The Alaskan is under obligation to
Captain James Carroll, of the Spokane,
for a pair of the dandiest watermelons
ever. As a general thing newspaper
men have many lemons banded to them
and to get a watermelon is not only a
treat but also tends t > break the mon

BY IIS FINE
IS NO ESCAPE
Washington, Aug. 10? Government
officials in Washington exp:e?s the
opinion, John D. Rockefeller to the
contrary notwithstanding, that the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
eventually will be compelled to pay the
tine of $2!>,240,000 imposed by Judge
Lamlis in Chicago, Saturday, on the
Indiana company, convicted on more
than 1,400 counts of violating the pro
visions of the Klkins' anti-rebate act.
The plan of campaign that the Stand
ard will adopt in its efforts to prevent
enforcement of Judge Landis' order is
not known here, but it is pointed out
that the defendant may appeal either
to the circut court of appeals or lo the
United States Supreme Court. It can
have the case reviewed in the former
tribunal on a writ of error, or may
bring it before the latter tribunal on
constitutional grounds.
If the Standard goes into the Su
preme Court it will not be as a crimi
nal. Under the law there is no appeal
to t lie Supreme Court in criminal
casis oxcept where capital crimes are
involved.
Section S of the Constitution pro
v.des that the courts shall not impose
cruel or unusual punishment, or ex
cessive fines. In the event that the
Standard fails to secure a reversal by
the circuit court appeals of the decision
of Judge Landis, thus remanding th?
the case to the lower court for re-trial,
it Is expected to take ndvantage of its
rights under the section of the Consti
lUtion above referred to.
