About The hello girls employed in the main office of the Chicago Telephone company at Washington and Franklin streets want to keep In style and strike. They have no grievance of wages or hours, but they do object to wearing plain black clothes, a metal breast plate and headband, and being shifted about to give positions for favorites." A delegation of their union called on the officers of the Chicago Federation of Labor yesterday and asked permission to strike.

President G. V. Lighthall heard their complaints. Think of having to wear nothing but black all day long and have a big metal plate on your chest and a horrid metal band about your head." said the girls. Why, we can't even wear our hair done up.

And the worst of it is they take the best places away from us and give them to girls the management likes. We won't stand it and we are going to strike." President Lighthall advised against the move until he had time to find out how strong their union is and whether they could win. The girls postponed action until Thursday. Say Company Has Favorites. The girls are indignant at the favorites," as they call on the night force.

These girls work from 4:30 until 9 p. m. They get $10 the firstt month, $15 the next three, and at the end of seven months are paid $25. The girls on the day shift are the ones complaining. They are all paid $40 for their work, and they object to being forced to take a $25 position, so that the company can use experts from the night shift in their places.

This, they say, has been done so frequently of late that none is sure of her place. I believe the coimpajiy knows our union can beat it," said one of the girls last night. Every one of the girls shifted to night work has been a union girl, and if we can get hold of the spotter there's going to be trouble. We were never sthifted about this way before, and we won't have It done now." In addition to the trouble of shifts comes that of dress. The girls claim they are allowed to wear only plain black, without even a touch of color.

They claim, too, that since President John R. assumed control of the company he ha forced them to wear a metal headgear, a product of the San. Francisco system, that hurts their ears and cuts their hair. Then there is a plate for the Chest, and they claim It wears out their dresses. The matter will come to a crisis on- Thursday, when the monthly aesignment of girls to their respective shifts takes place.

There are about 100 girls on the day work and fifty on, the night work, and they, claim, to have all but a few In their union by acute insomnia, from which he had been a sufferer for a long time.

The first blow at the big police pensioners who have been draining the fund almost to bankruptcy was struck yesterday at a meeting of the pension board. Without a dissenting vote the trustees went on record as opposed to the granting of exorbitant pensions In the future, and adopted a resolution to review, revise, and inquire Into the allowances which heretofore have been made because of political pull." The revision of the disability pension list is expected to hit such beneficiaries as Luke P. Colleran, Daniel Duffy, and Charles G. Koch, as well as a host of others. Under the resolution of the board it will be possible to reduce the allowances to the pensioners in that class, and in some cases possibly cut them off the pension rolls entirely.

May Cut Their Pensions. On the list of police officers now in retirement on pensions are the following, among others, who may be affected when a revision is made of the allowances: Lieut. A. C. Arch 62.50 Capt.

At a meeting of the committee last night the findings of the arbitration board were discussed, and it was decided to postpone acceptance of its report until all wage matters have been settled. Strike talk was indulged in by the radical element, but the majority ruled otherwise. The wage scale to be submitted is. as follows: Shopmen who are now working eight hours a day for 25 cents an hour want a 124 per cent increase and time and a Taa.lt for overtime.

Corbus was asked why It was that, while a record of the birth of the child of Lena Dystra, or Dexter, had been made with the clerk of Kankakee county, as required by law, there was nothing to show concerning the birth of the Cannon child.

Pinioned between a heavy freight elevator and a stone wall, Tolif Buckowski, 14 years old, required the services of a detail of police and firemen yesterday afternoon to rescue him from his perilous position. As It was, the boy was so badly injured that at the county hospital, where he was taken, it was said probably would die.

Stopping in front of Kohn Bros. clothing store, 208 Market street, where a freight elevator running from the sidewalk to the basement was being used, the lad went down through the opening in the sidewalk to investigate the machinery. As he did so his foot touched a lever, and the heavy platform at once began to move slowly upward. Grabbing for the lever, the boy thrust his arm between the pulley ropes and the wall, and before he saw the danger his arm was caught and wedged by the siding of the elevator. The platform did not come to a standstill until the boy's entire shoulder had been drawn between the wall and the elevator.

Scores of pedestrians witnessed the boy being tortured and heard his pitiful cries, but were powerless to help him. A fire alarm was turned in, and responded to by hook and ladder company 6.
