""The considerations which eompelltal

JOHNSTON BEATS
LONDON
American Tennis Champion De-
feats Phila. Star for British '
Title in Three Sets '
PAIRED, WIN DOUBLES
Loudon, June 10. In one of the fin
est tennis mntches ever seen in (Jreat
Uritain William M. Johnston, of San

the London lawn tennis championship
tournament this afternoon.
Johnston won by the score of -l-O,
0-2, 0-4.
A record attendance of scvcrnl thou
sand persons saw Johnston win the
championship. Timo after time the
brilliant returns and counter volleys
evoked rounds of applause.
Moth players were in magnificent
form nnd served in tremendous fashion,
but it was Johnston's ferocious forehand
drivo which turned tho scale In, his
fuvor nt a critical stage in the third
set when Tilden opparently had the
mntch at his mercy. At this stage
Tilden led 4 to 2,with his service gnmo
In hand, and the mntch appeared tx be
his because he had not lost n siiigle
service game.
Here, however. Johnston captured
Tilden's service nnUIi faultless driving
without dropping o single point. John
ston folloNM'd in with his service game,
iu which Tilden raptured the first three
points nnd once again seemed to have
the match in hand.
Johnston, however, by terrific deliv
eries, cnpturi'd the gome and made, it
four-all. Johnston won his next serv
ice, thus leading ." to 4, nnd once again
captured his opponent's service, winning
0 to 4.
Johnston and Tilden won the doubles
championship by defeating K. Norris

City Trouble Sporadic Be- (
tween Here and Chicago
Peunsyhnnin and Heading Itnilroad
emplnjcs nrc on strike ngnin. nnd
freight movement Into Philadelphia has
been seriously handicapped. i
The walkout began early last eve
ning, most of the men, however, not
leaving their work until midnight. Ad
ditional workers failed to report nt the
usual time this morning. -
The present strike is considered a
development of the country-wide strike
of two months ngo, though so far it is
localized. The men arc striking, they
ny, because the railroad labor board
has not published its ruling ou tho de
mands made by the men iu the formers v
walkout. ,
The present strike has extended from
Chicago to Philadelphia. There are
strikes of minor proportions reported
also from other points. These nre at
Rurlingon, Iowa nnd at Denld, III.,
near St. Louis.
A'n important development in the
genernl situation is the nnnounccment
by the bureau vt investigation of the
Department of Justice here that agents
are nt work seeking to learn whether
there is uny connection between the,
longshoremen r strike in Philadelphia
and this. strike of the railroad men.
From Washington nlso came the an-'
nounccment today that the Department;,
of 'Justice was working on the lone-
shoremen's strllcp.tq learn whether tae.
I. W. W. is behind "IhalongsliQrcmen'a

Strikers Silent on Number Out' '
The strikers Iinvc advanced no definite ,
claim of the nuniber of men out. In
dividuals Iinve stuted thut there are'
about -000 men on strike. Neither the
strikers for the rnilrood officials have
gijjiti detailed figure? of uny sort. Some
of the strikers said this morning that
1,"0(t of the Pennsylvania Itailroad's
cinnloNfs have quit work.
Both the Pennsylvania nnd the Read
me KailrontlH issued brief statements
coil tiiis nfternoon. Moth statements
said thnt the strike hurt affected the
lines very little. Neither rood has so
far been compelled to cancel iiasscnger
trains.
The Pennsylvania Itnilroad announced
that onh two of its freight yards are
nffi'i ted bv the strike. One of these Is
the (ireui'Nvirh Pier yards, where eighty
men. the entire yard force, failed to
rrnort for work this morning. The
other is the Fifty-second street ynrd,
where three crews nud twentj -five cur
ilruppcis walked out.

nnunccs that It will make u decision nt
the earliest possible date on the re
quests for wage increase. ' railway em
ployes which -were f sented to the
board, in the reccnf .icarings held In
Washington und C ago."
Inasmuch as a nenring has not as
et been ghen to the representatives of
certain short-line roads and other car
riers which were not represented by
the rnllroatl executives' committee, the
decision will necessarily tovcr only the
niplojes of the ronds represented by
