urging the companies to settle. This
feature of the situation is important and
I believe will be the means of bringing
about an adjustment of the trouble.
The public must always bear in mind
that this strike was brought about by
the companies and not by the teleg
raphers. They goaded and intimidated
our members until the conditions be
came unbearable.
"Our forces have shown wonderful
ability and taot In the management of
the strike. From every part of the
country come reports showing that our

They are breaking down under the
strain laid upon them. Besides those
confined in the various offices many
of which are little better than bull-

offices there are two cases of small pox,

Chicago, Sept. 11. Mrft Alice Roose
velt Longworth and her husband atopped
here today on their way home from
their western trip and remained long
enough to attend the theatre twice. Al
though In the city from noon until mid
night, when they took the train for their
home in Cincinnati, Mr. and Mrs. Long
worth made no social calls whatever and
saw none or their friends In Chicago.
Mrs. Longworth had entirely recovered
from the fright she experienced at the
narrow escape from death of her friend,
Mrs. C. F. Joy of St. Louis, who was
lost last Wednesday In a storm near
the Grand Canyon, and who was found
later-by Indian guides in a hair frosen
condition after being absent an entire
day.
"The story printed In the papers to
the effect that we had difficulty in se
curing our drawing room on the train
coming from the Grand Canyon Is sub
stantially true," said Mr. Longworth at
the Auditorium Annex this evening.
"We had secured tickets for drawing
room 'A,' but when we boarded the
train we found two men occupying the
compartments. Through some mistake
they had been placed in our drawing
room. However, as soon aa we showed
our tickets entitling ua to drawing room
'A' the men gave up the room. The
printed story that force waa used to
eject these gentlemen was not correct.
They surrendered the compartment
frraclously when ' assured that It be
onged to us."

RAILROAD INVOLVED.
Operators on Southern Demand Re
instatement of Discharged Men.
(United Press Leased Wire.)
Richmond, Va, Sept. 21. An order
has been Issued for a strike by every
telegraph operator on the Southern Rail
way system Monday morning unless the
company reinstates two operators dis
charged a week ago at stations near
Atlanta for refusing to handle messages
from Western Union offices where
unionists were on strike.
The telegraph and railroad officials
at a meeting In Washington last week
agreed, It Is reported, to make a test
case for the railroad telegraphers, the
Southern undertaking to discharge the
first operator who refused to receive
a message from a strikebreaker. The
dismissals followed and the railroad
telegraphers decided by a unanimous
vote to give the railroad only until
Monday to act under a penalty of a
walkout on the main line and every one
of the branch lines.
but It la stated that within a short
time the plan of reorganisation will be
announced and that when it is made
known it will shake the whole organiza

from at leant public appearance in

management has brought the Standard
Oil company to its present condition of

this startling news was as follows:
"United states ornciais and promi
nent members of the Independent uil
Refiners' Association believe a complete
rearrangement of the directorate of the
Standard Oil company Is to be made in
the near future. It is even rumored here
that the head of the Standard Is con
templating a change of name, Inasmuch
as the present name is regarded aa a
dangerous one."

responsibility of his former exceedingly
active life. She also made It known
that Mr. Rogers has already, begun to
tire of his seclusion and would have
broken away from his exile and would
have returned to work had not his whole

"Father was stricken with paralysis
as a result of worry and overwork,"
said the daughter. "Because of his
