BUENOS AIHES. Sept. 24.—
This city is now cut off from tlie
rest of the Argentine by a strike
ol’ railroad workers which embraces
the entire republic with very little
exception.
The men are demanding an in
crease in pay and higher wag* s for
overtime with the installation of the
eight hour day.
The roads tire practically dead.
Trains are stalled along cvety route
the in n walking out at a given
time wherever they were working.
This had Ik eii agreed upon when
the demands were denied by tlie

CAilP CUSTER, Mich., Sept. ?4.
—The cantonment Here which is
still incomplete was the scene of a
l'cari'u accident today in which none
wore killed outright but wherein
fifteen workmen were so seriously
injured that their lives are in dan
ger and many others wore injured
not so seriously.
The accident occurred when two
interurbau cars laden with nrmj
cantonment workers were arriving
today and met in a head on colli
sion just dose by the camp.
A thick fog prevailed and both
cars were going at a smart rate ot
speed when they struck.
The cars weiv redueed t:> luatcii
wood and the wonder is that all
travelling therein were not killed.
The accident is blamed by both
motormen on the fog which made
it impossible to see signals or note
the position of either one or the
other.
NORFOLK, Sept. 24.—The Navy
Department leports that a strike
involving eighty-five per cent ot
the workmen in the shops and
yards is now an accomplished fact,
tying up all work. The men are
