men in four packing houses at the
stock yards left work yesterday, in
augurating a strike which the leaders
say will spread and by July 1, the day
chosen for a demonstration, involve

trouble began when POO platform men
and truck handlers in the employ of
Nelson, Norris e. Co, went out to Sc.
cure an advance of % cents day.
Following these $50 men in Armour Il
Co.'s tallow and cooperage depart
ments left their places. The force of
the strikers was quickly augmented by
IS lard refiners from Il. J. Upton Il
Co.'S house and 60 men from Swift Il
Co.'s place followed closely. These
men have all been receiving S1.5O a
day and struck for a raise to S1.75.
The strikers places We're filled during
the afternoon by colored men, This
aroused the ire of the strikers. and
one of the negroes who became sep

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS.
Interesting Fight in the State Con
ccNtlOu

ccMtIOn.
Louisville, Ky. June 23.-The race
for the Democratic nomination for
governor of Kentucky lies between
Capt. w. J. Stone and William Goebel.
A combination Of the followers OF
these two candidates secured the or
ganizatiOn of the convention in the
election of Judge David b. Redwine
to be temporary chairman. In the dis
trict conventions they secured all but
four of the eleven. This. with the two
members of each committee named by
the temporary chairman will give
them Il good working majority. But
there is doubt as to just what the
onc-GOebcl combination will develop.
On the surface the plan is to nominate
Stone for governor and give Gocbel's
friends The remainder of the ticket and
the state central COMMITTEES. 1t is not
improbable. however, that Goebel may
show sufficient strength in the conven-
ton to secure his nomination at the
head Of the ticket. This would upset
all present calculations and probably
cause Il realignment Of forces. The
net result OF yesterdays work was the
elimination temporarily, at least. of
Hardin as an important faction in the
convention.

there are some independent facto-

these independent factories that
are not controlled by a trust or
combine, but believe in living
and let live. Aug. Beck & Co.
are one Of the largest manufactures
of tobacco in Chicago. Besides
the famous brand Beck's Hunting
they IL anufacture the Yum Yum,

a full line Of Swedish Snuffs, of

best sellers. When buying smok-
ing tobacco ask for the kinds that
have the union label. Take no
other.
