TO HEAD OFF STIFFNESS.
Move in That Direction Defeated in
Chicago.

Chicago April 20.-An attempt was
made last night by the conservative ID
Dor leaders of the city to head off the
epidemic of strikes that is threatening
Chicago. The proposition was that the
Federation of Labor should refuse
strike aid to all unions less than year
old The proposal was advocated by
practically every experienced leader
who attended the meeting held in
Bricklayers' hail. and they had fought
valiantly for its adoption. Against them
was an array of men representing the
so-called mushroom organizations.
who Kissed and ieered and finally de-
feated the measure. Had the resoIu-
ton been adopted it would have pre-
vented more than a dozen strikes that
are now in contemplation and would
have placed control of the situation in
the hands OF the old and tried unions.
The fsr-reaching effect of the resolu-
tion was recognized by all and its de-
feat was hailed with cries of exuberanee
by members Of the new unions.

Big Head Breaks out.

salt Lake City. Utah. April 20.-Be-
tween the ravages of an unusually Sc
we're winter and the breaking out of a
malignant disease known as big head"
among their hocks with the past few
weeks. the Herald says the sheepmen
of Utah, southern Idaho and eastern
Nevada are afraid that by the time
they get their sheep to the summer
grazing grounds their losses will amount
to about 90 per cent of the number they
had last fall. Should theis estimate be
correct, the loss in Utah alone viii
amount to about one million head. and
would be an unprecedented loss to
sheep owners of this state.

MULLIGAN IN JAIL.
He Must Wait There for Decision of
Supreme Court.

Edward Mulligan was committed to
the county jail Saturday evening to
wait for the decision of his application
for an appeal to the supreme court of
the liquor selling case in which he is de-
fendant 1t is a curious feature of the
federal law that Mulligan must be act
ually incarcerated in prison while the
decision of his application is pending.
If he is granted a trial in the United
States supreme court he will be freed on
bond until it is settled. MuIligan was
sentenced from Holy Cross. Pottawato-
ME county, to Imprisonment for sixty
days and fine of 500 for selling whis-
ky to Indians. He made his defense on
the plea that the Indians. having taken
government allotments of land, were no
longer government charges.
