EXTENDING IT'S INFLUENCE
Chicago Transfers Strike Looks Bisee
Than the Conl Trouble,

Chicago Transfers Strike Looks Bigger
Than the Conl Trouble.
Chicago, June 2.-Business Agent
George f. Golden, of the Transfers
union, announces that he will notify the
drivers of all factories supplying the
packers with boxes that they are not
to handle the products of the factories
if the strike continues. President Jas.
H. Payne, of the United Order of Box
makers, promised Golden that if this
We're done he would call out the 500
union boXmakers If an attempt were
made to supply the trade with boxes
through non-union drivers.
The situation throughout the city
was estimated to be MS follows at -
p. m. Saturday: Proprietors of 40 per
cent. of the 1.G00 meat markets in the
city had entirely exhausted their sup
plies. OF the $50 restaurants In the
city it was said that 10 per cent. would
be without meat for their customers
by last night. All the meat markets
conducted by Jews, where kosher is
sold, closed down Saturday night and
no attempt will be made to open them
while the strike shall last.
This leaves $1,000 Jews in Chicago
without their regular meat supply. The
large hotels are supplied for few
days, but some of them will be III
trouble by tomorrow night ii there
shall be no change in the present con-
ditions.
Under the cover of Sunday quiet the
packers scored heavily on the striking
teamsters and succeeded in filling all
their distributing stations about town
except those in the Fulton market. The
move by the packers came unexpected
ly. All was done quickly and quietly.
The carloads of meat which have been
standing on side tracks We're sent to
the stations and unloaded, ice was
brought from the yards in cars, and
by evening all was ready for today's
business

DECORATION Day.

Time in its mutation has again
brought to us Decoration Day with its
beautiful and impressive ceremonies,
and again we viewed procession of
soldiers, citizens, and children, with
minds and hearts bent upon one object,
that of listening to encomiums upon the
lives of those who fell in battle, of sing
ing to their memories, and of placing
the laurel and forgetme nots upon their
gray !, and when the sacred day was
ended we breathed prayer that every
thing had been said that could be in
praise of their patriotism, and that
there should be no grave however hum
BILE but bore upon its bosom tribute
from loving hand.
Very beautiful was the service for the
unknown dead by the w. r.. G. and the
decorating Of the monument by the
dimpled little darlings with wresths Of
flowers, as they followed with childish
grace the leadings Of the colorbearers.
In the youth of our nation lies our
country's life and hope and these cere-
monies rightly teach that a nation
should not forget its dead for we realize
that the Observance Of this day will be-
fore many years be left In the hands of
those who are now the children and
youth of our land.
How pleasant is the resting place of
these our soldier dead in our beautiful
little cemetery In Manchester, and what
so certainly indicates the character of
population as its burial place. If 1t be
IN order, one is sure that the people are
