DISAGREEABLE SURPRISE

The Mccormick Reaper Factory Closes
Down Because of Demands That Nom
Union Men Be Discharged-FiveT Thou
sand weavers Out of Work.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE great Mccormick
reaper works closed down at 0 o'clock Tues
day morning. Not wheel is now turning,
and 400 employees have begun to undergo
a seige Of enforced idleness The threat of
certain employees to precipitate strike I'M
less the non-union men working in the mold
ing department were dismissed appears to
be the immediate cause of the
suspension of operations. At a meeting
OF dissatisfied employees Monday night
committee was appointed to wait upon
Mr.. Mccormick and insist upon this demand.
Mir. Mccormick had limited at former con-
ference that If this condition were insisted
upon he would shut down his works indefi-
nitely. Tuesday he declined to meet the
labor committee, stating that his time was
otherwise fully occupied, and ordered the
suspension of operations
The employees were dumbfounded when in
formed at 8 o'clock in the morning that
their services were no longer required They
had no idea that Mccormick would act upon
the hint he had thrown out to them Very
few of tue employees are in good circum-
stances, and if the lockout is long main
tanned many families will suffer for the bare
necessaries of life
Mr.. Mccormick said to a reporter
After all demands male upon US had been
conceded the Moliers union decided to raise
the wages of laborers to Si.50 day.

he would be ready.
James ONeil was then called, and Mr..
Newcomb was named as his counsel The

THE BELChER WILL CASE.
Inc Contest to be Made by the I}ackus
Heirs.

FARMINGTos, Nov. 90.
Three able Franklin county lawyers Joseph
&. Holman, Henry L. Whi1comb and Arthur
r. Beicher are hard at work for the Backus
heirs IN the preparation of their contest
against the probating OF the will of Mrs.
Sarah 5. Belcher, late of Pennington, by
which the bulk OF her property was bequeathed
to Bates College.
The grounds on which the legal contest is
to De founded are being kept as closely from
the public as possible. but they are under
stood to be that the testatrIx was of unsound
mind, and further that the President of Bates
the Rev. DIR. Cheney, unduly influenced her
IN the making of the will. growing inter
est is manifested in the county, deepening as
the time approaches for the trial of the cause
before Judge Morrison in the Franklin Coun-
ty Pro bate Court, the first Tuesday in Decem-
Der. 1t is reported in Pennington that coun-
sci for the college will ask that the case may
be transferred to the Somerset or Oxford
Probate courts, on the ground that there ex-
lists so much feeling in Franklin County, in
regard to the will that justice cannot be OBJ
tanned here. 1t is rumored that the Supreme
Court may be asked by the college to remove
Daniel M Bonney of Pennington, who was
appointed special administrator by Judge
Morrison, and give the estate into the hands
of DR.. Cheney, whom Mrs. Belcher named as
the executor of her property.

of groups are circulated open.y. A Mon
day evening article says that in a hall on
Clybourne avenue, a meeting of the north
side group of the International Working
Peoples Association was held, at which va
rious plans were discussed. Some persons
thought that on a stormy night with few
pounds of dynamite, the water tower could
be blown up and fires started in ten or doZ-
en- different places. The water works de
strOyed, the fire department could have no
water, half of the city would go up in a blaze
and ih the confusion thus caused, the reor-
ganized groups and companies of the Lehr
Und Wehr Verein could easily capture the
city. Police Capt. Setback says he has no
fear of anything happening at present and
his men are keeping close watch on the
groups"
