MAJ. UrHAM. the republican candi-
date for governor CT Wisconsin. is
the head of n manufacturing concern
Mt Marshfield which seems to own a
large part of the place, including a
company store" 1t has been
charged that Upham paid his men in
s'scrip and coupons" which consti-
tuted u currency that was at dis
count everywhere except at his own
store. 1t was represented to be a
means of compelling the workmen to
trade at the store and practically to
take out their wages in goods at the
company's prices. According to a
story published in the Milwaukee
journal. the candidate lately caused
the fsctory to he stopped and the
workmcn summoned to the office,
where they were confronted with an
affidavit, which they were asked to
sign and swear TO. declaring that
they had not been compelled or So
licited to accept the coupons for
wages and that these were worth
their face value anywhere in the
town. This performance distinctly
makes the charge against Upham
worse, FOR il was in effect a coercion
of the men into signing the affidavit,
whether they we're willing to do so
or not. and whether its statements
were true or not. A manufacturing
concern of that kind rendering pay
to its workmen in its own scrip is in
effect compelling them to take it, as
they would not feel safe in refusing.
Maj. Upham is very much after the
manner of man as Shelby NJ. Gull
Ions bosom friend-George NJ. Pull
man.

consequence of this action the Japanese
Government has notified its Charge DAT

The Korean legation officials at this

returned their message with the statement
that it was refused by the Chinese admin

OMAHA, Aug. 2.-The situati in South
Omaha grows more serious hourly. Five
hundred men, including all the laborers
around the packing-houses, quit work to-
day in sympathy with the butchers. At
$50 o'clock the tierce men at Swift's
walked out. They were met on the plat
form by Manager Foster. who talked to
them for a few minutes. de asked the
men what wages they were getting. They
said 81 IS day.
"Isn't that all your scale calls for?"
asked Mr.. Foster. The men admitted that
it was. He finally induced the men to 60
back to work. There was a crowd of
strikers on the railroad track watching
the fellows, and when they started to go
back the men on the outside began to cry
out "Scab." A little later the same tierce
men went out Ia body and hurriedly left
the plant.
At Hammond the cellar-men went out
after working an hour this morning. The
ef-luggers and smokehouse men worked
until noon and then walked out. The
Sheriff was called on for deputies this
morning, as the situation began TO grow
serious, but he refused to interfere, as he
did not think the circumstances warranted
it. Some of the houses have extensive
contracts on hand which will compel them
to begin running a full force In the very
near future. The strikers know this and
have hopes Of winning their points for
that reason, but it is now settled fact
that the managers have made all the con-
cessions they propose to and after Monday
will give employment to men who are
willing to work. regardless of the old force.
