UNION MEN ASK $4,000.
They Demand an Indemnity from the
Armour Packing Co.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 14.-Organ-
lied labor circles are agog over a de-
mand for $50, 900 indemnity made on the
Armour Packing company by a joint
committee representing Anchor FEEDER
alton, the Fireman's Union and the
unions of beef, pork and sheep butch
ers, in submitting a proposition looking
to a settlement of pending troubles and
the withdrawal of the boycott on the
Armour products.
Leading men in the trades unions in
the two Kansas Citys say that the
joint committee representing five unions
acted without authority because the
settlement of the troubles was a mat
ter that should have been left with the
two central bodies, the Industrial
Council in this city and the Trades AS
sembly in Kansas City, Kan Further
the indemnity was wholly inconsistent
with the demands of organized labor
in it's fight against the Armour COM
pany.
At a later called meeting of the two
main unions of the two Kansas Citys.
the indemnity action was denounced as
irregular, and a committee was ap-
pointed to treat with the Armours with
a view of adjusting the matter.
The trouble originated in 1895, when
the Armour firemen struck and issued
a boycott against the firm. The COM
pany retaliated by diScharging several
hundred union men from its other de-
partments. After the strike was final
ly declared off, ArmOurS agreeing to
employ the old men, the unions claim
ed that all had not been given their
into force and has not since been re-
moved

DEADLY GAS.
San Francisco City Coroner Makes a
Discovery Which Accounts
for sc Deaths.

San Francisco, Dec. 14.--The startling
discovery has been made that the il
Illuminating gas used in this city con-
tains from IS to % per cent of deadly
carbon monoxide. Even if a window is
left open in a room where the gas is
escaping it will not save the inmates,
as the gas sinks to the floor
During this year there We're IS deaths
by gas poisoning in this city alone, and
for the last four years there has been
an average of death week from this
cause. In England, where the law linn
its the amount of carbon mOnoxide in
gas to Z per cent, there We're but three
deaths this year due to gas. The corO-
ner held inquests yesterday on two gas
victims, and censured the gas compa-
MES in both cases.
