BIG STRIKE GROWS VERY SERIOUS
LEADERS PREDICT A
VICTORY. NEW
r : I
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Indus-,
try is apparently but little affected
by the general strike today and the
ranks of the strikers were not so
much increased by the unions which
walked out.
Labor leaders predict victory
within forty-eight hours and there
is little doubt that if they carry out
their strike effectively and it is
general, they will speedily force a !
victory. The leaders claim that
they will call out an additional
hundred thousand men daily.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Less than
one hundred thousand men are ad
mitted to be out by the Strike lead
ers who howover are very confident
Bohn of the strike committee says
that a quarter million men will be
out tomorrow and the night reports
indicate that about that number will
answer the call.
President O’Connor proved the
first defection in the strike, refusing
to call out the unionmen.
O’Connor claims that after a con
ference with the union leaders it
was decided to await further deve
lopments before calling the long
shoremen out.
A dozen riding a Lexington car
were today injured when inexper
ienced crews came into collision.
The scabs fled when they saw the
collision coming.
Thousands of pamphlets are be
ing distributed throughout the city
attacking the Rockefeller and Mor
gan interests with great bitterness.

PAPERS REJOICE WHEN
HEAR FALSE REPORT
ASTERDAM, Sept. 27.—Berlin re
ported today that a second subma
rine had arrived in America with a
cargo of chemicals, drugs and dye
stuffs, worth a vast amount of
money. Newspapers regard it is a
most inspiring event and it proves
the feasibility of under sea naviga
tion notwithstanding the British
blockade. All the newspapers rejoice
and this jubilation is reflected
among the people. The submarine
is said to have arrived at Baltimore
Maryland,
BALTIMORE, Sept. 27.—No place
is more surprised with the cabled
news that Berlin announces the ar
rival of another under sea merchant
man than this port at which the
submarine is supposed to have land
ed. All efforts to locate another
submarine arrival along the Atlan
tic coast of the United States have
failed. So far no South American
port advised the arrival of a second
merchantman like the Deutschland.
There is no explaining how the re
port arose.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—As far as
can be ascertained, there is no news
concerning the Bremen and nothing
arrives here to indicate that a Ger
man submarine merchantman has
arrived at any American port.
The story is believed to be a fake.

SEATTLE, Sept. 27.—It is ad
mitted at the Pacific Coast compa
ny’s office here that there is being
held a special directors meeting of
the Pacific Coast Steamship com
pany in New York to consider the
Admiral line’s offer of ten million
for the purchase of their ships and
•water front property.
If this is consummated it is ad
mitted that Alexander of the Admi
ral line will be the leading shipping
magnate of the coast.
TACOMA, Sept. 27.—President
Alexander of the Admiral line and
the leading directors of the compa
ny are now referring together and
awaiting action by the directors
meeting in New York which will de
FARNUM AT DREAM TONIGHT.
An extraordinary production
“Samson” (not biblical) of tremend
ous force and sustained dramatic
action is the bill at the Dream to
night. William Farnum plays the
principal part, that of Maurice
Brachard, the dock laborer who rose
to be a Samson of finance. Ho en
acts this part with terrific force and
with a ferocity that is stunning. No
.expense or pains were spared ia
making this masterpiece. Roused
to titanic wrath by the falseness of
his friends, this modern Samson
pulls down the structure of wealth
that he himself erected, ruins the
rake that is pursuing his wife and
the gang of hangers-on that his
benevolence had enriched.
c!de the question •whether the Paci
fic Coast Steamship Co. will sell or
not.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—It is re
ported that Colonel Jackling the
Utah and Juneau mining magnate
is behind Alexander in the steam
ship deal which the latter is trying
to put avert U h| stated here that
there is considerable opposition to
the sale developing among certain
interests which have also in turn
considerable railroad connections.
Almost as much interest is being
taken in the deal here as in Pacific
Coast maritime circles.
Is is believed here that the deal
will be consummated tonight. The,
whole a£al? is still in <h* air. > • 1 ,S

LONDON, Sept. 27,—But little Is
coming out of the Balkans, the Al
lies very plainly shaping their move
ments with deliberation. The Bill
gars abandoned several important
positions on the Struma, evidently
trying to make stronger the defen
ses of their own frontier.
ATHENS, Sept. -7.—The political
situation is unchanged. Four of the
cabinet officers have quit. The
strong Oermanist propaganda is
still being carried on and the royal
ists are firmly standing by the
King.
SALONIKI, Sept. 25.—It was re
latively quiet upon the front today
with just sufficient offensive being
undertaken to keep the Bulgars
busy. Reports coming from Bucha
rest indicate that they have the si
tuation very well ih hand. The
Bulgars are putting up a desperate
defense in Macedonia, evidently fear
ing that it is the intention of the
Allies to force their way through
Servia.
LONDON, $ept. 17.—Greece is
tfow regarded as definitely out of
the military situation, and has prac
ticaly ceased to exists as an inde
pendent nation.

dict the fall of Baupaume and Per
onne within two weeks.
PARIS, Sept. 27.—The Allies are
still forging ahead. They have now I
practically encircled Peronne which I
is in much the same plight as Comb
les and the Germans must soon
withdraw or be entrapped. The Brit
ish have fierce fighting south and
east of Thiepval in their contact
with the Germans on the Baupaume
road. Additional troops were
brought up by the Germans today,
but they gave way along a front
of over three miles.
LONDON', Sept. 27.—Haig report*

SIX THOUSAND MORE
TROOPS FOR RORDER
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Six thou
sand additional guardsmen have
been ordered to the Mexican border.
Ten thousand however are returning
so that there is nothing alarming in
the new order.
Senor Arrendondo of the Mexican
commission is now returning to
Mexico city from New London,
Conn., his return also not indicating
that any trouble has arisen, but he
leaves for the purpose of conferring
with President Carranza with a
view of broadening the discussions
of the peace commission and widen
ing the scope of the matters which
will be disposed of.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—W. Loeb,
director of the American Smelting
and Refining Co. applied to Secre
tary Lane for protection of the in
terests of sixteen American operat
ors who own and control property
interests in Mexico valued at a quar
ter billion dollars.
There is hardly any question
that these vast American interests
which are held in Mexico have been
trying hard to secure intervention
and have still high hopes that it will
be forced upon the United States.
EL PASO, September 27.—Juareur
officially denies the faxe report that
one hundred Villatists catured Dur
ango and executed General Gomez.
It is like many other alarmist re
ports.
UNCONFIRMED REPORT
OF RUMANIAN MUTINY
BERLIN, Sept. 27.—A Staats
Zeitung special says that indirect
reports show that disgruntled Ru
manian soldiers dynamited a train
containing four hundred officers and
only seven escaped.
The same authority which is with
held from publicity says that com
rades refused also to shoot two non
cotnraisaioned officers who have been
radically agitating among the sold
iers.
According to these accounts the
radicals and socialist are in the
great majority in the army and it is
replete with the greatest disaffec
tion. The train dynamiting took
place in Transylvania near Kroon
stadt.
BERLIN, Sept. 17.—There is no
thing to report from Dobrudscha,
the situation remaining unchanged.
BERLIN, Sept. 27.—The Russians

gains.

situation in the east is unchanged
Fighting is steadily proceeding, ar
tillery fire and infantry assaults al
