CHICAGO, July 31. A complete
tie - up of street car traffic and
elevated service began to make it
self felt shortly before midnigrht
after the surface employes at a mass
meeting had voted for a walkout
effective at 4 .A. M. tomorrow and
elevated road men had joined them
in a runaway strike, anticipating a
formal strike order by 24 hours.
As the cars went into the barns at
the end of their early night runs,
the waiting crews refused to take
them out after hearing of the strike
order. The gradual paralysis of the
transportation machine began to
make Itself felt In the downtown
section shortly after 11 o'clock and
was marked by longer waits be
tween cars and an unusual crowding.
One Strike I'nexneeted.
The immediate eyepathetic strike
tj- the elevated roads employes was
unexpected. They were not sched
uled to take final action until to
morrow night. The elevated action
was precipitated by some JOO
elevated employes who attended
the surface lines employes mass
meeting earlier In the evening.
When the approximately 6000 sur
face men at the meeting voted
tinanimously to strike the elevated
representatives Joined them and
later induced the train crews to
Join them.
"Let's go," was the shout in the
union hall when the question of an
immediate walkout was put and
after it had been decided, those at
the meeting hurried away to notify
. the men still at work.
Big Preparations Made. I
Widespread preparations " were
begun last night by suburban rail
ways, motor bus companies and
automobile owners to meet the
strike.
All efforts of business men. city
officials, union leaders and car line
chiefs failed to avert the walkout,
precipitated by the demand of the
surface lines that their men accept
a wage reduction of approximately
17 per cent.
A compromise offer by the me
expressing willingness to take a flat
ten per cent reduction was rejected
toy the surface lines following an
order reducing fares from eight to
seven cents with three tickets for
20 cents. The present wage is at
the rate of 80 cents an hour. The
sympathetic strike by the elevated
employes was caused by the refusal
of the companies tJ extend the
present monthly wage contracts for
a year. With both surface and ele
vated employes out, the strike af
fects approximately 20,000 men.
,Aiito Omni to, Id.
To meet the threatened, tleup
automobile owners were preparing
some 25O.O00 automobiles tonight,
and many expressed the conviction
that the automotive power of the
city alone would be able to take
care of the situation. Many of the
street car employes who own ears
were preparing to operate them as
"jitney busses." wearing their uni
forms to obtain public sympathy
and attract patronage. It also was
predicted that the unions would put
big trucks on the streets to carry
passengers. To handle the situation
successfully the automobile fleet,
probably the largest ever called upon
in such an emergency, would have
to handle more than 3,000,000 pas
sengers daily.
Besides the passenger . carrying
automobiles and trucks, suburban
railway officials were making ex
'tensive preparations greatly to in
crease their trains, taxicab com
panies were prepared to put out
some 2700 extra cabs and industrial
firms were preparing moving vans
and trucks to handle their employes.

CHICAGO. July 81. Leaders of the
striking railway shopmen arriving
here tonight for .tomorrow's meet
ing called to consider President
Harding's peace proposals Insisted
tonight, despite all reports to the
contrary, that any settlement would
restore their full seniority rights to
the strikers.
"The ,men will go back to the
exact positions on both seniority
lists and pension rolls Jhey occupied
before the waikout on July 1," the
president of one of the unions, who
declined to permit the use of his
name, however, declared.
All expressed the belief that th
terms of the pres. dent's plan would
re ratified by the union leaders
the 90 men composing the policy
committee of the railroad depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor. These represent the six
shop crafts unions now on strike
under the leadership of K. M. Jewell.
The meeting of the strike leaders
will open shortly before noon, at
about the same hour the 14) rail
way presidents will open their
meeting in New Tork to act on the
same proposals looking toward a
settlement of the strike. Among
the union men tonight the belief
was expressed that the president's
plan would meet the greatest oppo
sition from a minority of the rail
road executives, but thy were firm
in the coniction that it would
finally carry and that the strikers
would be back at work before the
nd of the week.

(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
LONDON. July 8L Mrs. Annie
Wainwright Lycett. when inter
viewed Sunday, asserted that she
had kept her marriage to Rev. Mr.
Lycett after her first husband was
divorced, a secret because the. late
Walter Winans, the administrator
of whose estate has settled out of
court a suit to recover 8660,000
worth of property, threatened to
kill her if she ever married again.
"It is simply the story of a woman
praised by a man with a mad in
fatuation." said Mrs. Lycett.
She said that she had sought per
sistently to return Mr. Winans' gifts
to her after her marriage, but he
always refused them.
"Walter gave many women valu
able presents, but his attitude to
me was very different. He never
asked me for anything in return
for his gifts. He only wanted me
to live apart from my husband and
never remarry. He threatened to
shoot me if I ever left him. I did
not need his presents, having a
personal income of 810,000 yearly.
I married Mr. Lycett secretly and
then Walter fell in love with an
other woman and asked' me to re
turn his gifts so he could give
them to her. That angered me and
I refused to return the gifts."

he had sought the eastern Oregon

pose of recuperating from an op

GREEKS GIVEN WARNING

mitting the warning, the admiralty
and war offices are taking all pre
cautions forcefully to prevent an
advance.
Following the dispatch of battal
ion reinforcements, advices from
Malta this afternoon announced that
a third light cruiser with a squad
ron under Rear-Admiral Tyrrwhlt
had been ordered full steam to Con
stantinople. In addition to Admiral
Tyrrwhlt's warships. Admiral Sir
Osmond Brock's fleet will be
brought to the Mediterranean in
full strength, most of which will be
concentrated in the Dardanelles and
the Golden Horn.
In the house of commons this
afternoon Mr. Lloyd George stated
that the Greek minister of foreign
affairs had promised the British
minister at Athens that Greece
would not violate the neutral cone

Constantinople, without the allies'
consent.
AID OF EXGMXD SOUGHT
GreeH . Troops Massed In Hope of
Having Move Sanctioned.
BT LARRY RUE.
(Chlcawo Tribune Foreign Ntwa Service.
By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
VIENNA, July 81. Concentration
of Greek forces in Thrace, which has
been gradually going on since May,
was made in the hope that Eng
land would be able to force as com
patible with the allied near-east
policy permission for the Greeks
to occupy Constantinople, now held
by inter-allied troops. There is no
war in Thrace, and additional troops
are useless, except for this purpose.
As far aa a conclusion with Mus
tapaha Kemalpasha is concerned,
Greek occupation of Constantinople
would have no effect whatever on
Greeks fighting hundreds of miles
away. The Turkish Constantinople
government already had agreed to
give Smyrna to the tireeks, but
Mustapha Kamelpasha rebelled and
organized his present army, which
is making Asia untenable for the
Greeks. Fighting Mustapha Kemal
pasha by seising Constantinople is
like Mexico, if fighting Texas, seis
ing Boston.
The Venezilists openly have in
formed the royalists that England
promised ex-Premier Venlzelos that
everything possible would be done
to give Constantinople eventually
to Greece. King Constantine'a gov
ernment, although not organized by
the allies, realizes that England's
support of M. Venlzelos' policy is
due to the fact that this is obviously
in the interest of England, whose
navy thereby would not only dom
inate the Dardanelles, but also the
straits of Bosphorus, giving Eng
land complete control of one of the
world's most important trade routes.
As Greece is entirely at the mercy
of the allied navies, Athens cer
tainly would never attempt to oc
cupy Constantinople without assur
ances of some kind that the move
would be privately sanctioned. It
has been proposed, however, that
the Greek soldiers in Thrace frame
an Insurrection and march on Con
stantinople the same as the Poles
occupied Vilna, King Constantine
disavowing responsibility, which
might serve as an excuse for a
change in the allied policy. Dan
ger of a clash with allied troops
has prevented this plan bo far.

OKLAHOSIA TO v VOTE TODAY
Threee - Cornered Gubernatorial
.Campaign Is Closed.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.. July 81.
(By the Associated-Press.) With
the Ku Klux Klan declared to be
supporting one candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor
and representatives of the klan de
nying that the organization was
taking any active part in the cam
paign, Oklahoma's three-cornered
gubernatorial primary campaign fin
ished tonight and voters made ready
to go to the polls tomorrow.
Overshadowing the alleged klan
issue in importance, according to
many observers, was the candidacy
of J. C. .Walton, farmer-labor can
didate for. the democratic nomina
tion and now mayor of Oklahoma
City. He has been indorsed by the
farmer-labor reconstruction league
in Oklahoma and has espoused pub
lic ownership of a number of util
ities, state aid to farmers and the
Plumb plan for government control
of railroads.
Walton's campaign has attracted
widespread attention, and the big
race between him, Thomas H. Owen,
ex-justice of the state supreme
court, and R. - H. Wilson, superin
tendent of the state board of edu
cation, for the democratic nomina
tion for the governorship has be
come the event of overshadowing
importance, in the popular mind.
R. H. Wilson had been given the
indorsement in slates purporting to
have been issued by the Ku Klux
Klan, but today the organization's
official publication printed an- edi
torial denying that the klan was
backing any candidate. It branded
as "malicious falsehood, rumors that
the klan will vote as a unit under
.the dictation of officials."
A total of 250,000 to 275.000 bal
lots will be cast by the voters of
the three parties entered demo
cratic, republican and socialist it
was estimated tonigM by officials
of the state election board. The
board has sent out 5&0.OO0 ballots.
Officials predicted that women
would cast 25 per cent of the total
votes. It will be the first time
women of Oklahoma have had a
voice in selecting the state officers.
Polling places open at 6 A. M.,
closing in the cities at 7 P. M. and
an hour earlier in country precincts.
Of general interest are the cam
paigns of Miss Alice Robertson.
Muskogee, and Manuel Herrlck, self
styled "aerial daredevil" and some
time poet, for renomination to con
gress in their respective districts.
Both are republicans. Miss Robert
son has announced repeatedly that
she had been threatened with po
litical punishment by women's po
litical organizations because of her
refusal to support these organiza
tions or yield unhesitatingly to their
suggestions as to how she would
vote In congress. "Miss Alice," as
the representative from the second
Oklahoma district is known among
her friends, has also announced that
she expected .opposition from pro
ponents of the soldier bonus which
she has opposed.
Her republican rival for the nomi
nation is Gus H. Tinch of Muskogee,
and three democrats, W. W. Hast
ings, Oscar Stewart and - John L.
Winn, seek the honor of opposing
Miss Robertson at the polls in No
vember. Mr. Hastings represented
the second district several years in
congress and was defeated by Miss
Robertson in the general election
two years ago. Mr. Stewart is blind
and is superintendent of the state
school for the blind.
Manuel Herrick. representative of
the eighth Oklahoma district, has
attracted newspaper attention by his
offers to fly war department planes
over Washington and perform thrill
ing "stunts" for the edification of
capital crowds. Mr. Herrick has an
nounced, in prose and verse, his non
chalance as to whether tne "stunts"
resulted in his death, stating he was
unloved and unattached. Three re
publicans oppose him.
