STRIKE SITUATION
UNCHANGED, GOTHAM.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—The Sun,
decidedly hostile to the unionists
says that the leaders of the strike
are now discussing the dispersement
of the sympathetic strike as a fail
ore. The Evening Journal says
that shortly the sympathetic strike
will be officially called off.
Leaders of the carmen when seen
this evening said that they knew
nothing about this, but that they
did know that if there was any truth
in the report they would go it alone
if necessary.
The milk drivers walked out to
day and their strike has caused a
sudden resort, even in the first class
hotels and restaurants, to condensed
milk. The Attorney-General of the
state may prosecute the drivers
union for being a conspiracy in re
straint of trade. The effort to de
stroy unionism in the city is taking
various shapes and the employers
through the city and state officials
are planning a series of prosecutions
so that they will terrorize the un
ionists and bankrupt their treas
uries.
There have been many meetings
of employers’ associations looking
towards the joint action against or
ganized labor. Owing to the politi
cal ramifications of unionist leaders'
activities, it is realized that the
unionmen cannot act in unison and
many facts are coming to light now
to support this view. The car strike
continues unchanged.
KINS REMOVES 6ENERALS
WHOSE MOVE FEARS
ATHENS, Oct. 2.—King Constan
tine is still in control here and is
practically running the government
himself regardless of the Boule or
the cabinet although the latter are
ail strongly loyalist. Today he re
moved commanders Kilkis and Aver
off whom he feared would lead their
troops to support Venizelos. The
discharge of these men is creating a
sensation.
ROME, Oct. 3.—The wholesale
slaughter of Greeks in Asia Minor
is reported today. It is said that
the Turkish troops had been led to
believe that the Greeks had joined
the Entente Powers, and exacted a
speedy retribution from the resident
Greeks in Asia. Thousands were put
to the sword, the women being re
served for harems.
ATHENS, Oct. 2.—With King
Constantine ruling with an iron
hand and refusing to forego control
of the government, the people are
in no position to resent the massacre
of so many of their countrymen in
Asia, reports of which are being
brought here by refugees.
BERLIN, Oct. 2.—The Staat Zcit
ung report upon the Greek situation
says that it is growing more re-as
suring, King Constantine being con
vinced of his ability to maintain the
neutrality of the country notwith
standing the defection of Venizelos
and the support he is receiving from
the Allies in Salouiki.
WILSON’S REMARKS BITING
RENETRATIN6 SARCASM
ASHBURY PARK, Oct. 2.— Pre
sident Wilson since he began to
discuss election issues discovered f.
biting sarcasm which he is UE.ng
-with deadly effect upon his oppo
nent in an effort to make the re
publican candidate discuss wliat
■will be his foreign policy should he
be elected in November.
Wilson today to an aa.’embeid
mass numbering many thousand
said that he had some trouble hand
ling the proposed republican policy
in foreign and business matters be
cause it still lay concealed and poss
ibly congealed within the breast ot
his opponent. The man who feared
to say outright what would be his
position in any of the public issues
which he (Wilson) had one way or
another to face, might be better jus
tified in criticizing the administra
tion’s policy did one know that he
would have done different and done
better.
The tactics of Wilson may cause
a revision of the republican candi
dates methods.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2_Governor
Whitman told the Globe today that
Hughes election is certain and that
he would carry the State of New
York.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2.—Jumping
here clean across from Utah which
he left on Saturday, Fairbanks is
working his jaws and tongue over
time. He delivered no less than six
speeches, some en route but most
upon arrival here. He says that the
election will witness a republican
landslide.
RUMANIANS CROSS DANUBE
ATTACKING THE BULGARS
BERLIN, Oct. 2.—The Rumanians
crossed the Danube and Invaded
Bulgaria today. It is admitted that
«iii« is a serious flanking movement
against the Bulgar and Teuton for
ces which are campaigning in south
ern Dobrudscha. It is reported that
Russians are aiding the Rumanians
in the movement.

ports that von Falkenhyn’s victory
has resulted in halting the whole
Rumanian invasion of Hungary as
the left wing is so demoralized that'
lit will be necessary to re-group the
Rumanian forces.
LONDON, Oct. 2.—Reports are
scanty from the Rumanian fighting
and little or no details are coming
out. A Bucharest report via Petro
grad denies that a severe defeat was
inflicted on the Rumanian left wing
by von Falkenhayne. The admitted
invasion of Bulgaria shQwa that the
blow has not been very stunning
even if the Rumanians did suffer a
reverse, for their swift Invasion of
Bulgaria Indicates confidence in the
left wing to hold its own.
The situation in Dobrudscha 1b
admittedly dead locked and no lm
mediate change is possible, accord
ing to latest reports. The advance
of the Germans and Bulgars seems
to have been checked at any rate
for the present. The Bulgarian
coast is being subjected to serious
raids from the Black Sea flotillas.
The damage done is reported to
be appalling.

SHOPMEN AND OTHERS
ARE ON STRIKE
ALBANY, Oct. 2.—Because the
Albany traction company has intro
duced a similar contract system to
that which the Interborough Com
pany introduced in New York, and
because the first men asked to sign
and refused were disciplined, one
thousand street car men walked out
here today and the city is now being
carried around by jitney. No street
cars are running. Owing to the
New York strike strike-breakers are
practically impossible to get, but
the company is trying to import a
number of New York gunmen as
guards.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 2.—Repre
sentatives of thirty thousand shop
men have voted to strike on twenty
two western railroads which refused
their demands for increased pay.
The western roads have already
handled a shopmen’s strike effective
ly, winning out against the federa
tion of railroad shop employees, and
they are just as confident that they
will also be able to defeat the strik
ers in this walk out.
It is likely that the strike will be -
called in accordance with this au
thority as the railroad companies re
fuse to consider even a small in
crease. They will not recognize the
unionists.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Serious
strike riots broke out here on Sun
day, all day the fights between spe
cial police and the city officials anu
strikers being general, Mayor Mit
chell threatens to call for militia.
LONE ZEPP RAIDER
FALLS VICTIM FLYER
LONDON, Oct. 2.—A lone Zeppe
lin that attempted to raid this city
met with its fate when an exploding
shell set the dirigible on fire, thir
teen bodies of the crew, all horribly
mangled being recovered. The com
mander was not dead but he is in
jured in such fearful fashion that
he cannot live. The fragments of
the destroyed Zeppelin fell to the
ground fifty feet apart, human bo
dies crumpled and mangled being
mingled with the wreckage.
The entire gas body was fired in
the air.
CHRISTIANIA, Oct. 2.—A Ger
man submarine reached into the
Arctic Ocean north of Lapland and
reaped a large toll in Norwegian
vessels plying between European
ports and the White eSa. The Nan
sen, Roven and Itoljparl were all of
them torpedoed, the crews being
saved. Steamship travelling, says a
Christiania paper, along the north
ern Norwegian route has been dis
continued since August.
It is estimated that the German
submarines have destroyed Norwe
gian steamers and sailing ships val
ued at ten million dollars since the
war began.
This however is covered in many
cases by insurance and owing to
the high rates it is doubtful if Nor
wegian ship owners were ever so
prosperous.
RUSSIANS CRUSH TEUTON
COUNTERS NEAR LEMOERG
PETROGRAD, Oct. 2.—The Rus
sian force flnaily overcame the fierce
Austrian counters which have been
, lunging against the Russian lines
in the vicinity of Lemberg' for al
most two weeks, the Austrians
breaking up today when they were
repulsed in a general attack. The
Russians captured two thousand pri
soners.
BERLIN, Oct. 2.—Sunday the
Staat’s Zeitung official statement
says that the government reports
that minor Teutonic successes have
been attained in the eastern Polish
regions where the Russians have
ben successfully repelled.
Successful operations are also re
ported by Vienna upon the Stripa in
Galicia where seventy Russians have
been taken prisoners. Other fronts
show no marked change in the situ
ation.

ports from Petrograd indicate that
the Russians have finally broken
down the counter attacks of the
Austrians, and the Slavs are now
making a direct movement on Lem
berg after several weeks delay when
the Austrian resistance was weighty
and well maintained.
BERLIN, Oct. 2.—The situation
is unchanged on the west front and
the Allies are checked in their ad
vance. Artillery duels are marking
the final collapse of the great drive
inaugurated three months ago by
the Allied powers. The German re
sistance cost the Allies an enormous
toll for an advance of a little over
a few miles.
COLONEL HARVEY NOW
SUPPORTS JUDGE HUGHES
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—One of the
bitterest attacks yet made upon Wil
son comes from the pen of a former
champion of the Sage of Princeton.
Colonel Harvey in a long article con
demns Wilson in unmeasured terms
and champions Hughes. He says
Wilson’s stand upon preparation is
humiliatingly inadequate and he
has been an opportunist who has
sacrificed everything to political in
terest: the people, the government,
national honor.
He says that his administration
has been so weak and vacillating
that he can no longer afford to sub
mit to the personal anguish of call
ing or hearing himself called a de
mocrat.
DIPLOMATIC QUESTION IS
NOW BEING CONSIDERED
LONDON, Oct. 2.—It is known
that the Cabinet is now considering
the advisability of Submitting to the
American demands with reference to
mail lnterferepce. In doing so, the
British and French governments
will ask that some means be sug
gested whereby the spying system
discovered through the mail exami
nation can be held under control,
and the shipment of contraband
through the mails can also be pre
vented.
Until such time as these questions
will be solved, it is highly improb
able that any complete satisfaction
will be rendered. ,
