STREET CAR STRIKE
CALLED IN CHICAGO
Order Goes Out to 14,500
I?
E?IlipiU> CCS.
WORKMEN SEEK MORE PAY
All Police Furloughs Recalled and
All Available Men Held in
Readiness.
Chicago, June 13.?A strike of the
14,600 employes of the surface and
elevated traction systems here was
ordered at midnight.
The mep were directed to finish
their runs and return their cars to
the barns.
The strike was called after an allday
conference of transportation officials,
labor leaders and Mayor
Thompson had shown the two interests
were at odds on the question of
increased wageB. which the men insisted
must be guaranteed before
arbitration could be considered.
The police immediately began arrangements
for protecting workmen,
who were ready to take cars out
Tuesday morning.
All police furloughs were recalled
and all available men held at police
stations ready for emergency duty.
A detail of 500 policemen was dispatched
to guard the ear barns.
Officials of the steam roads announced
they would begin an immediate
suburban service.
Leonard M. Rusby, president of the
Chicago Surface Lines, announced no
attempt would be made to run the
r?o ra until Tnocrln v Uiulhr thp 1 110 7
ordinance the surface lines are not
required to operate in a strike. The
strike extends to Hammond, East
Chicago and Kankakee, 111., over the
Chicago and Interurban Traction
Company's lines.
^ LINES NOT INVOLVED.
The Aurora, Elgin and Chicago
Electric Line will not be affected unless
it carries passengers within the
city. The Evanston and West Town
Railways Lines in Cook county, outside
ot Chicago, will not be involved.
The union men announced at the
beginning of the negotiations that
they would accept no offer that did
not provide a substantial wage increase.
The traction companies at
first were as firm in declaring that
no wage increase could be granted.
They later offered to arbitrate.
June 10 the men announced they
would strike within forty-eight hours
unless they received what they termed
"a fair offer." This action followed
an offer of a wage increase which
did not satisfy the men. When the
. strike appeared inevitable Mayor
Thompson persuaded W. D. Mahon,
international president of the Street
Car Men's Association, to obtain another
day's delay.
MANY CONFERENCES.

Detroit Saturday and since then hat
been in almost continuous conference
with the mayor. The first conference
resulted in an offer of arbitration
by the company, but the meri
replied they could not accept any
offer that did not guarantee a wage
increase.
The company replied with a counter-offer,
but after an all-day conference
could not reach an agreement
with the men.
Records of the transportation com

WILSON PRAISES
THE EVERY DAY MAN
President Pays Tribute to Multitude
at Flag Day Exercises.
NO REFERENCE TO WAR.
But Every Word About American
Patriotism is Greeted With
Enthusiasm.
Washington, June 14.?A tribute
to "the great multitude of unknown
men" who constitute the body of the
nation, and an appeal for patriotism
in everyday life, instead of on special
occasions only, marked a speech by
President Wilson today from the
treasury step3 at Flag Day exercises.
PRESIDENT'8 REMARKS.
"For me," said the President,
"that flag does not express an embodiment
of sentiments. No man
can rightly serve under that flag whc
has not caught some of that history
"You do not create the meaning
of any national life by any literary
exposition of it, but by the daily endeavors
of a great people do th*
tasks of the day and live up to th?
i ideals of honesty and righteousness
: and just conduct. And as we thin!
of these things our tribute is to thos?
men who have created this experi
! ence. Of these men we feel tha
thev have shown the wav. Thev hav?
not been afraid to go before. The:
have know that they were speak inj
i the thoughts of a great people whet
they led that great people along tin
paths of achievement. There wai
I not a single swashbuckler union;
thein. They were men of sober
quiet thought, the more effective bo
cause there was no bluster in it
They were men who thought aloni
the lines of duty, not along the line
J of self-aggrandizement. They wer
men, in short, who thought of th
people whom they served and not o
themselves.
. j WITH THE MULTITUDE.
"But while we think of them am
1 do honor to them as those who hav
shown us the way, let us not forge
that the real experience and life of !
nation lies with the great multitude
1 of unknown men. They constitut
the body of the nation. The flag i
the essence of their daily endeavors
This Hag does not express any inor
than what they are and what the;
1 desire to be; and as I think of tli
life of this great nation it seems b
me that we sometime look to th
wrong places for its sources.
I "We look to the noisy places
where men a*"i talking in the marke
place; we look to where men are ex
II pressing their individual opinions
' I we look where partisans are express
| ing passion; instead of trying to at
' tune our ears to that voiceless mas
i of men who merely go about thei
' ' dally tasks, try to be honorable, tr
to serve the people they love; try t
live worthy of the great communl
i ties to which they belong. These ar
i the breath of the nation's nostrils
. these are the sinew of its might.
EVEIIY-UAY PATRIOTISM.
"There are no days of special pa
i triotism. There are no clays whei
r you should be more patriotic than oi
* other days.
"I am solemnized in the preseno
of such a day I would not undei
take to speak your thoughts. Yo
t must interpret them for me. But
do feel that back not only of ever
. public official, but of every man an
) woman of the United States, titer
r marches that great host which ha
j brought us to the present day; th
I host that has never forgot the vlslo
which it saw at the birth of the na
?j tion; the host which always respond
to the dictates of humanity and c
1 liberty; the host that will always cor
stitule the strength and the grea
body of friends of every man wh
does his duty to the United States.
"I am sorry that you do not wea
a little flag of the union every da
i | instead of some days; and I can onl
i ask vou. if vou lose the Dhvsical en
f j blem, to be aure that you wear it i
, your heart, and the heart of Americ
i nha41 interpret the heart of th
> world."

CONSTITUTIONALISTS
WORTHYJOF SUPPORT
So Declares Carranza in Reply
to President's Note.
GEN. VILLA ALSO REPLIES.
Carranza Forres Control Seven*
Ki|;htlis of Mexiro and Expect
Soon to Take Mexico City.
Washington. June 12.?President
Wilson had before hint tonight the
first reply to his note to Mexico. It
was a "proclamation to the Mexican
people" iBsued by Genera) Carranza
asserting the rights of the Constitutionalist
government to recognition
by the United States and other foreign
powers. Lack of recognition is
declared to be the one difficulty remaining
in the way of restoring constitutional
government in Mexico and
the statement asserts:
"At this time we believe ourselves
to be in a position to overcome this
last difficulty because the constitutionalist
government is now actuniiv
in definite possession of sovereignly,
and the legitimate exercise of sovereignty
is the essential condition
which should he taken i no account

government."
General Villa's answer also reached
Washington today hut was not delivered
at the state department. Until
it is presented the Villa agency
declined to make public the text.
VILLA SUGGKSTS C'O-Ol'lOR \TION.
Department officials declined to
comment on the abstract of the Villa
! statement carried in press dispatches.
or upon a copy of a letter
from Villa to Carranza, also received
at the agency, which urged that differences
be forgotten and suggests
a personal meeting between the two
| leaders to arrange for a co-operation
and restoration of peace,
i General Carranza's proclamation,
was promptly laid before President
Wilson. The document recites the
,.i.nuij 01 i no revolution beginning
with tlie Madero uprising.
President Madero's failure, th?
document attributes to the opposition
from Oro/.co, Reyes and Felix
Diaz, of tlie old regime, and Zapata,
instigated by their adherents. (Jenera!

the movement with the cooperation
of "a group of foreigners
favored by the old regime, who surrounded

and under the pretext of saving

The statement explain- that as
governor of the state of Coahuila,
General Carranza assumed represen

the constitution, which, bv its
own terms, "will not los?? its foire
and vigor even though through some
rebellion, its observance is in'errunted."

which later occurred, the statement

The statement asserts that the
constitutional element now has control
over seven-eighths of the national
territory. Administrations, it is
claimed, are being organized in twenty
out of twupt..'-seven stotts of the
republic, and that more than thirteen
million of the fifteen millions
population of Mexico are subject ta
