INSURE AGAINST STRIKES.
Austrian and German Manufacturers
Form Protective Association.

Austrian and German Manufacturers
Form Protective Association.
WASHINGTON, Nov. GA number
of Austrian manufacturers have
formed an association for insurance
against strikes, according to United
States Consul Hosefeld, at Trieste It
is the object of the association to in
demnify its members for all losses sus-
tanned by them from unjust strikes,
which may break out in their respec-
tive establishments.
Each member is to pay weekly pre-
MUM equal to from to 4 per cent of
the amount of his payroll. When a
strike occurs committee will be ap-
pointed to investigate all the circum-
stances and IL the cause of the strikers
be found just no indemnity shall be
paid.
A similar insurance association, al
though on a smaller scale, is said to
have been organized in Germany.
Both the Austrian and German asso-
Citations, 1t appears" says Consul
Hcsefeld, recognize in principle the
business of strikes, which is, in Ger
many, at least, an important conces-
sion to labor"

Corner on Pork Market Squeezed Shorts
Severely.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-As a result OF
his deal in pork here yesterday Sir
Thomas Upton is believed to have
made $780, 900. There were only $4,000
barrels of pork that could be delivered
and the Englishman owned them all,
as we'll as twice that number bought
from people who did not have a barrel
they could deliver.
When the price reached s1s some
time ago the majority of shorts
thought It time to buy some Of the
pork they had contracted to deliver at
approximately sl1 per barrel during
October.
Numerous private settlements are
said to have been made so that while
bearish spectators in pork have re-
ceived some painful financial injuries
the wounds have not been mortal.
A private settlement of 1000 barrels
was made near the end Of the sessicn,
Lipton's representative liln .Gs a ba-
lated short to take that amount st SIS
a barrel. assuring the buyer ,aat at the
close the price would be 500. That he
knew whereof he spoke was made plain
TO everybody later for as the closing
bell sounded shorts were shouting bids

knife given him, he says, by Attorney
Patrick also confined in the Tombs.
That portion of the confession has
to do with the last moments of Mr..
Rice is the following given out by the
authorities as coming from Jones:
Rice said: I am very nervous Mr..
Patrick. I wish you wouldn't trouble
me. Please go away.
Patrick replied: L have some salts
here, Mr.. Rice, that will cure your ner-
vousness.'
"He produced a bottle and uncorked
it. The contents smelled to me like
some very strong llniment.
"Then Patrick said to me: Get me a
towel and a SPONGE I got him both
Then Patrick said: Jones, you have to
leave I left. AS l was leaving Pat
rick said pll remain here until Mr..
Rice gets to sleep He closed the
door behind me.
II stood in the hall for a few min
utes and soon l heard Mr.. Rice laugh.
I thought this was queer so I pushed
open the door. l saw Mr. Rice lying on
his back in bed. The towel that l had
given Patrick was wrapped around the
sponge in a cone-shape. This cone
was lying directly over Mr.. Rice's eyes
and nose.
Patrick was pressing 1t down with
his right hand Patrick did not see
me, and of course, Mr.. Rice could not.
After seing what / had seen, went
and lay down on my bed.
"Mr. Rice grew very sick. Patrick
said to me: Go get a Doctor 1 went
for one. He pronounced Mr.. Rice
dead"
Attorney Patrick denies having fur
nishing Jones the penknife and he also
denies the statements in the confess
sion.
Jones, after his suicidal attempt, was
taken to Bellevue hospital, hastily sum-
moned physicians having just been In
time to save him from death through
loss IF blood. Last night he was slight
ly better and the chances are that in
a few days he will again be placed in
