ing News.
Louisville, May 13.-Next in import
ance to the Kentucky Derby is the
Clark stakes, and today that event
was decided before $500 people on a fast
track and with perfect weather. The
race, however, was something OF dis
appointment, not that Ben Eder, the
winner, had an easy victory, for Semper
Ego made him extend himself at the
finish with only neck to spare. 1t was
expected that Ben Brush and Ben Eder
would again meet, but this afternoon
Mike Dwyer gave W. McGuigan
check for SO, 600 and became the owner
Of Ben Elder. He scratched Ben Brush,
and Sims, wearing the colors Of Mike
Dwyer, had the mount on Ben Elder.
Sir Vassar and Loki were also scratch
ed, and when the flag went down there
were but four contestants for the sec
pnd largest stake of the New Louisville
Jockey club. Ulysses shot out in front
for half a furlong when he began fall
ing back and after half mile had been
covered r. Williams pulled him up to
canter. There was but one horse in the
race that could interest the Fonso colt
and that was Semper Ego. All the way
down the back stretch Sherrer set the
pace with the son of logic. All the
while Sims had Ben Elder at his girth
and when the turn was made in the
stretch Mike Dryers new purchase was
a scant head in front. Sherrer worked
with might and main on Semper Ego
but the colt was not equal 10 the strain,
Ben Elder passing the wire winner by a
head. But he did not win without urg-
ing, although every time Sims drove the
steel into Elders side he responded nobly
and finished with something to spare.
In the days events three favorites

JUST FAIRLY BEGUN
ARMOUR STRIKE ASSUMES A MOST
SERIOUS ASPECT.

Working Force is Reduced Almost Half
-Armours Let Out Men on the Plea of
Reducing Representatives, and Their
Sympathizers Think They Observe That
the Men Discharged are All Union Men
Meetings Held in Spite of the Federal
Injunction.
Kansas City, May 13.-The trouble
between the Armour Packing company
and its employees in Kansas City has
ASSUMED a serious aspect Seven hun
bred men are now out, reducing the
working force of the plant fully one
half. The strike of forty-four fremen
to enforce an eight-hour day at 81 per
day has finally involved almost every
department in the big plant. Yester-
day evening the company discharged
100 men. Today fifty girls in the tag
ging and trimming departments walked
out and this evening the company dis
charged a large percentage Of its en-
ployes, numbering fully five hundred
and coming from every department OF
the works. Officials OF the company in
sist that the men are being dfscnara ed
simply to reduce working force that is
altogether too large, considering the
light business of the present season.
The strikers and the men discharged,
however, maintain that only men VINO
sympathiZe with the striking fremen
are being sent home
Notwithstanding the injunction issu-
ed out of the federal court restraining
the labor organizations from declaring
a boycott against Armour's products,
all Of the labor unions involved held
meetings tonight and elected delegates
to a mass meeting 10 be held in Kansas
City, Kansas tomorrow morning, when
an executive committee will be appoint
ed to conduct the fight against the Ar
1nours on the lines previously mapped
out.
Everything is quiet at the Armour
plant, although there is a gloomy feel
ing among all classes Of employees on
account of the reduction in the force.
The Armour company has extra
strong police protection throughout the
entire plant, but since the strike began
there has not been the slightest disutr-
bance of any kind.
In Kansas City, Kansas, the retail
meat dealers were told today by their
customers that they would withdraw
their trade if the dealers continue hand
ling Armour meats. This, it is claimed,
had the effect of causing many dealers
to refuse to give orders to the Armour
solicitors.
