TO OPERAIE A LARGE PLANT.
Independent Packers Will Build q
Plant Mt South st. Joseph, Mo-,
to Cost $4,000, 900.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Oct. 13.-Independ-
ent packers will build and operate a
large packing plant in South St. Jo-
seph to fight he big merger.
A representative of an independent
packers organization has been in
South st. Joseph gathering data. He
looked owe a number of tracts of
land suitable .or sites for packing
plants, examined the terminal facili-
ties, the capacity o. the stock yards,
and ascertained the cost of operating
a plant here. The mans name is
withheld by the local men with whom
he %conversed, for they are not in posi-
ton to talk for ~pubncation. They ad-
nit, however, that a fight between the
merger and the independent COM
panies is imminent.
"This field has been examined by
those outside of what is commonly
called the combine" said a local pack
ing house man. IF they build a plant
here it will be equal to any now in
operation, according to information l
have received. This will mean the in
yestment of at least S., 100000, for it
takes fully that amount to build and
equip a modern plant"

Two WEEKS STRIKE SETTLED
The Strike OF the New Orleans Street Rail.
way MeD Brought to an End
Peacefully.

New Orleans, Oct. 13.-The strike
Of street railway employees which has
effectually blocked traffic on all .city
lines for two weeks, was settled Sum
day night at six o'clock by the union
almost unanimously accepting tho
governors ultimatum on a secret bal
lot. Negotiations which began Sat-
urday night continued until seven
o'clock Sunday morning, when the
executive board finally determined to
submit the matter to a general meet
ing of the union Sunday afternoon.
The basis of settlement is that the
men will go back to work in the
morning at 20 cents and ten hours,
with a minimum of 7H hours a day,
NO discrimination to be made against
any of the men under charges, and as
many to be taken back as are needed,
for the operation of the company's
lines. The. hitch Sunday morning was
on the taking back of the men under
charges, but the railway company fin

courts to decide the guilt of the men.
Two more companies of militia ar
rived Sunday morning, one from Mon
o and another from Mansfield. The
company of cavalry came down from
Mansfield and was mustered into the
state service loon after it's arrival
There is widespread rejoicing in the
city over the settlement of the strike.
1t began Sunday morning two weeks
ago and has been effective. Not a
single passenger has been carried on
a a since it began, and no passen-
ger car has been run more than five
blocks from a BARI.
Sunday morning the people awoke
to find in different parts of the city
stuffed figures hangir g to telephone
and telegraph poles with all sorts of
inscriptions on them. Some repre-
scented the governor, some the mayor,
and there were many representing Of
fcials + the railway companies.
The credit for the settlement is
largely due to Hon. w. S. Patterson,
who took up the cause of the strak-
ers Saturday morning and labored in
defatigably all night and all day, con-
vincing them that they could hope for
nothing better and that they could
not prevail against the militia sent
here. United States Senator Foster,

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 12.-This is the

orally believed will put to a test the
claim of the operators that they will
be enabled to start up their collieries
If given protection, and the counter
claim of the United Mine Workers.
organization, rs expressed IN Wednes-
Jays resolutions, that the strikers
will not return to work without con-
ressions. even though the entire mill
tary force of the United States should
be here to protect them.
With a determination to prove their
claim, the operators hay. been for
the past week making a supreme eff
fort to secure men. That they have
succeeded to some extent is evident by
announcements made with some posi-
tiveness that various collieries will
resume operations in the course of q
few days. The Delaware g. Hudson
company will make a start at the
Bellevue. The Green Ridge Coal Co.
will open its Green Ridge colliery
probably Wednesday, but assuredly
some day this week Other companies
say they are figuring on a resumption
of certain ~collieries, but decline to
give their location. Claim is also
made on the operators side that the
forces at the collieries already work
ing are to be largely increased during
the week.
The United Mine Workers leaders
continue to assert that the military
Aen can do nothing towards inducing
men to return to work, and that all
the men who could be induced to GO
back to work without concessions are
already back.
Strike disorder is now almost who'll
ly wanting. During the past two days
the soldiers have had nothing to do
further than their regular patrol
duty, not a single call having come to
any of the three regiments in this
county to deal with disorder or
threatened disorder.

Calling on United States Troops Re-

Sarded as a Remote Possibility.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 13.-Nothing
new.developed here in the strike situ-
alton Sunday. Not one soldier was
sent out from the camp located in
this city. 1t now looks as though
there will be very little or no increase
in the production of coal during the
next week. The miners are as firm
to-day in their declarations not to re-
turn to work until they get some con-
cessions as they have been heretofore.
The appeal issued yesterday by the
American Federation of Labor was
received with considerable satisfac-
ton by the strikers, but there was
considerable discussion over the para
graph in the appeal which asserted
that the miners were willing to leave
their Ease in the hands of j. Pierpont
Morgan. When Mr.. Mitchell's atten-
ton was called to it, he said it was
an error. To-day he refused to dis
cuss it. 1t is evident there is some
mistake, and that he does not care to
call attention to it by discussing the
matter.
The talk OF calling on the federal
government for troops to assist the
state militia is still heard. From con-
%versations with superintendent and
military officers, the calling on the
national authorities IS a remote pos
sibility. National guard officers do
not take kindly to the suggestion, and
say the state guard should be tried
out first before thinking about ma
tional soldiers. Brighten. Goblin does
not take much stock in the PROPOSE
ton. If it were found that the Penn
sylvania guard was not sufficient in
numbers to control the situation he
says he will be in favor of recruiting
the state force up to twice it's size OF
to the number required to meet the
situation, just as was done during the
Spanish-American war.
