TO SETTLE STRIKE
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—Rioting was renewed last night
on the streets of New York city, after it became known that
the efforts of Mayor Mitchell to effect a settlement of the strike
between the street car employes and the transit companies had
met with failure, the companies refusing all overtures looking
to a settlement.
Several hundred strikers and their sympathizers attacked
four surface street cars, and engaged in a running fight with
the police resort es that are guarding the operation of the street
car lines. Several participants in the fight and onlookers, in
cluding one woman, were badly hurt. The leaders of the riots

DEMOCRATS ARE
NOT con
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 22.—In a
speech here last night, Candidate
Hughes told the big audience that had
assembled to greet him, that the new
child labor law passed by the demo
cratic congress protected the children
in the republican states but not in
democratic states. He cited this case
a^ 'ln instance that the democratic
party has adopted all sorts of subter
fuges to gain votes, casting aside any
attempt at consistency in legislation.
He declared that the southern states
were opposed to the child labor law,
and the bill as passed by the congress
is so framed that it will have no effect
whatever in these states.

SEATTLE, Sept. 22.—The Seattle Central Labor council
will consider an appeal made by the Longshoremen’s union de
manding a general strike of all union men in this city, in sym

shoremen. If the Central Labor council, with which all the
trades’ unions of the city are affiliated, takes favorable action
on the demand of the longshoremen, a general strike will be
called. This will result in practically bringing to a standstill
all industries and businesses employing union labor, as the
unions are very strongly organized in Seattle.
