EL PASO, Sept. 29.—News reach

ly defeated by the Carranzists who

volution.

LEADERS CLAIM THAT
QUARTER MILLION OUT
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.— The ac
Iton by the building trades and the
teamsters is still in doubt and the
ballot has not yet been counted. In
anti-strike quarters it is claimed
that the ballot is unfavorable to
responding to the strike call, and
•that this is the reason why it is
witheld.
Leaders do not try on conceal
their disapointment at the failure
of some of the unions to respond
to the strike call, but they still
claim that there is a quarter mil
lion men out.
While the strike to assist the
tractionists in their effort to hold
their right to organize is still in
doubt, and many may yet walk out,
it has served to reveal to the'work
ers the futility of the craft method
of organization.
The majority of the unionists
who have failed to walk out state
it as their frank opinion that it is
none of their business whether the
union tractionists win or not, and
many of the prominent labor lead
ers, half unionists and half politici
ans are circulating this view among
those who have abstained from join
ing in the strike.
The situation for the strikers is
however hopeful. The street car
service is greatly demoralized and
the companies cannot begin to run
cars on schedule. It is believed
that if the men hold out they can
not help but win.

HOLLWEG IN REICHSTAG
DEFIANT TO ENEMIES
BERLIN, Sept. 29.—Chancellor
Hollweg’s speech to the opening
Reichstag today contained an un
mistakable note of defiance although
the tone was less hopeful as far as
the asurance of complete victory is
concerned.
He declared that the enemies of
the. empire were responsible for the
continuation of the war, and it was
the evident determination of Great
Britain to refuse to consider peace
terms until they discovered the in
evitable fact that Germany could not
be conquered.
Peace terms were still unproferred
and would continue to be on Ger
many's part as the nation which had
gained the victory. It was for the
enemy to ask for peace.
Germany would persevere until
the Central Powers were victorious
and he had no doubt that victory
sat closer to the German banners
than wost were aware of. Bounti
ful crops, thanks to Divine Provid
ence which fought with them, the
crops were more than ordinary boun
tiful, strengthened their positions
beyond words. The only dark cloud
ha;l been Rum mia's despicable
treachery for which in good time she
would taste the bitter fruit in gen
erous measure. He said he spoke to
a united Nation for the emperor of
a united people determined to be
the victors of the grea't war.
The greatest enthusiasm marked,
the reception of the Chancellor’s re
marks.

LONDON, Sept. 29.—London pa
pers affect to note a tone far differ
ent to his previous speeches in the
address of Chancellor Bethman von
Hollweg. The speech while defiant

note in the address.

tion need be paid to the German de
clarations that they will be victor
