NAY LEAVE CHICAGO.
One OF the Disastrou. Effects OF the big
Strike.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-One of the most
disastrous effects of the great strike to
Chicago, it is feared. Will be the disin-
tegration of the great plants at the Union
Stock Yards
On account of the labor unions which
exist there, it is said that the intention is
to scatter the packing houses Four of
the big packing houses Swift. Armour.
Morris and the Chicago Packing and
Provision ompany-have seriously con-
sidered the change, and it is said com
mittee is now at work making arrange
ments for the move.
One OF the big packers at the yards, in
speaking of the matter today, said:
sSuch a move was in contemplation for
some time by at least four of the largest
establishments at the yards"
The great railroad strike of 1877 and
the Knights of Labor strike in 1856 did
more than any other events to break up
the live stock trade of Chicago. aud were
directly res sponsible for the esta blish-
ment of most of the smaller packing
houses throughout the west.

circulated the following call for a Dem

was addressed 10 Chairman Holman.
1.-The undersigned Democratic mem
bers, Representatives. especially in the
event of no agreement having been
reached by the conferrees in the tariff

passage Of tariff bill"
Within very short time the call was
generally signed by many Democruts
and the certainty of caucus was as-
sured if the cOnferrees did not agree.
A.r. Springer believes in passing "a bin
at once.
Chairman Wilson was surprised ta
learn that call for "A caucus was in circu-

POURING BACK no EUROPE.


Thirty Thousand People a Month, Mostly
BTechanIcss are Leaving America
CHICAGO, July 2S-General Manager
Whiting, Of the Cunard steamship line
in Chicago. who has just returned from
New York, said "Ihe exodus 10 Europe
which began in the early spring, still
keeps up and increases and nothing ike
it has been known before. What Is more
il is not confined 10 steerage passengers
The Increase of cabin business is in full
proportion to the increase of steerage
business.
aThe Pavonia of our line left Boston
last Saturday with 523 steerage and 200
cabin passengers Every line will be
taxed to its utmost during the present
summer. When you come to telling how
many people are going abroad It IS not
easy to do. For a rough calculation l
" Duld say there were ten lines, each
carrying 500 steerage passengers week,
or 5000 week IN al"
'FrOm that as a mere guess, l would
say that there were 10000 or 10000 steer
age passengers leaving this country
every month. As to the character of
these passengers. they ale the better
class Of mechanics.
while no one knows absolutely the
cause of the exodus, one does not have
to look far to find several plausible ex-
plantations. Cabin passengers are more
numerous because some people are just
returning to Europe from the exposition
and others are going abroad because the
exposition detained them here last sum-
mer.
"As TO the steerage passengers, their
departure is due partly TO the scarcity Of
work and partly to the low travelling
rates on land and water. A great many
of them, when times were good, sent
money to their friends abroad, aud now,
when times are hard here, they go
abroad to live on those friends for
a while. But, after all, there is more or
less mystery about the movements"

house members present said the situation
WAS critical
A member Of the ways and means
committee who is NOT one of the confer
rees, stated that a strong sentiment was
developed in the house in favor of re-
calling the house conferrees aud passing
the senate bill as grave fears were enter
tanned that It was dangerous TO continue
the contest much longer.
He said that in all probability a call
for a caucus would be circulated today.
and that if an agreement was reached by
Tuesday night the caucus probably
would be held at that time with "a view
to pass the senate bill with such changes

BIDDLE AS WATCHDOG.
To Prevent $4,000 From Being spent by
the state Board or Health

To Prevent 5000 From Being spent by
the state Board or HsaItI-
The state executive council a month
ago decided that the balance of the
$4,000 Of the fund Appropriated by the
legislature to prevent the invasion Of
cholera should be used by the state board
of health to improve the sanitary condi-
tion of the state.
The executive council placed the en-
tire $4,000 at the disposal of the board Of
health, to be drawn on the order of the
secretary or III. A. Dykes Before any Of
the money had been used, State Treasu-
rer Biddle announced that he would not
allow the money to 90 out except for the
purpose for which it was appropriated,
preventing an invasion of cholera
In speaking of this action, DR.. H. A
Dykes, secretary of the board of health.
said TO a STATE JOURNAL reporter:
'sWhile other states have an annual d D.
preparation of from $4,000 to $4,000 for
sanitary purposes, we have no money at
all for this purpose, although we
need it badly. In many towns
the sanitary condition is simply awful !;
ponds Of atagnant water are allowed to
breed disease even within the city limits,
and packing houses and other unhealthy
places are not compelled to clean up
once year. We have been refused the
use Of this money, but we are going to
do the best we can under the cIrcum-
stEnces."
DR. Dykes said the board of health will
soon commence prosecutions against sew
eral cities TO compel them TO i'm prove
their sanitary condition Kansas City.
Atchlson and LeavenWorth viii be
among the places frst prosecuted by the
board.

THE A. r. U. TOO BIG.
manger Hays Says a. r. Z Leaders Can't
Handle such a Big Body.


SPRINGFIELD, Ill. July 28.-General
Manager Hays of the Wabash, who is
making tour of the road, was IN the
city today.
aI do not think that the American Rail
way Union has treated the Wabash right.
The strike was uncalled for. The road
has always manifested disposition to
arbitrate all differences with its en-
ployes. In this case there was certainly
none to arbitrate. Not one man in
dozen can tell you why he struck. That
Is one Of the greatest troubles with the
American Railway Union. Tt does not
allow its bers to talk. and gives
them no individual preference in the
matter.
4 have no idea that the union will
last for any length OF time. In the first
place, it EN- braces too much, attempts to
cover too much ground 1t IS too large
TO be strong. It cannot prevent dissen-
sions because there are too many oppOs-
ing elements within it. 1t has killed the
brotherhoods. and can never be as strong
aud do the work that they have done for
the men,
