WILL CARRY 1T INTO COURT.
Troubles Between Chicago Packers
and Unions Reach q Climax.

ana Unions heach Climax.
The United States courts may be
asked to take hand in the trouble ex-
isting between the big Chicago packing
companies and the union of their en-
pkoyes, owing to alleged discrimination
against Independent retail butchers in
different sections of the country, accord
ing to recent statement made by Mi
chael Donnelly, general organizer for the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen of America.
The promised legal contest will center
in Chicago, which is the headquarters of
the packers as well as the unions in
yolved.
Developments impending are the out
growth Of strikes of retail market butch
ers called last spring in Rochester, N.

mands for increased wages and an ad-

near the President as if he were Euro
pean sovereign. Indeed, there are some
of the Kings of the effete monarchies of
the Old World who are not hedged about
by anything like the divinity and six
shooters that keep ill-willed and unbal-
anced persons away from the head SER
want of the people of this democratic re-
public. Had it not been for the vigilance
of the secret service officers who are on
constant guard at the Presidents home
the intention of Weilbrenner, the muir
derous lunatic who was arrested at Oy-
ster Bay not long ago, might have been
put into serious execution. This Incl
dent startled the officers who have the
duty of guarding the President into
realization of the danger in which every
man who reaches the exalted Office
stands. Whatever his personal or polit-
ical popularity, the very fact that he is
President attracts the attention of the
diseased intellects which seek to redress
fancied wrongs or gain notoriety by the
killing of persons in high places. The
public has not the least idea of the great
number of dangerous cranks who are
turned aside by the Presidents body
guard of secret service men. AS far as
possible these incidents are withheld
from the newspapers. The cranks are
not arrested unless they have committed
some overt act which shows them to be
dangerous persons. Many are handed
over to the police merely as disorderly
persons, and they find their way into the
insane wards of the warehouses.
But recent events have convinced the
federal officers whose duty 1t is to guard
the President that more stringent meas
ures are needed. What is required is a
general law which will follow the Presi-
dent wherever he goes. The Weilbrenner
incident was really more serious than it
was made to appear in the reports given
out. The officials realize that the Presi-
dent had narrow escape from dam
gerous lunatic. Weilbrenner had repeat
edly tried to pass the guard about the
Presidents home, and when in the scuffle
his revolver was disclosed and he was
placed under arrest he had penetrated
to 100 feet of where the President was
on his porch with the light from
the open door streaming upon the Chief
Executive and making him a good tar
get. Following closely upon this Incl
dent came the arrest in New York of
Francis NJ. Benque for sending threaten
ing letters to Secretary Hay. Benque
was n photographer, who was expelled
from Germany. He claims $500 dam
ages from the German government, and
because of the failure of the State De
partment at Washington to collect the
he made threats of bodily vio-
lence in letter to the Secretary of State.

1t is a fact, however, that the secret
service officers feared that Benque's dis
ordered mind might seek his revenge at
| Oyster Bay rather than at Washington,
as experience has taught that the cranks
with grievances like that of BenQue al
most Invariably get after the President
before the matter is settled by commit
ment to 4 madhouse.
A more recent incident was the arrest
of the man John Miller at Syracuse, who,
it was alleged, had made threats that he
would kill the President on the occasion
of Mr. Rooseveft's visit to that city on
Labor Day, when the President reviewed
the parade of the Letter Carriers Asso-
citation and formally opened the New
York State fair. Miller denied that he
had ever used threatening language to-
wards the President, and said that the
woman who had given the information TO
the police had manufactured lie out of
the whole cloth. This case was entirely
in the hands of the local police, and the
federal secret service had nothing to do
with it. 1t was, however, but an in
stance of the many such cases which fol-
low the President wherever he goes. On
his trip to Syracuse he was guarded with
scrupulous care. Probably no President
in time of peace was ever hedged about
Us Mr.. Roosevelt was on that trip. The
recent incidents had caused a redoubling
of precautions, for it is well known that
an unsuccessful attempt of the We'll
brenner kind is calculated to infiame 9TH
er unbalanced minds to jump into no
toriety by making a real or pretended at
tack on the President.
1t is generally conceded by tho;,e who
have studied the question that there is
only one effective way of dealing with
these cranks. While they are undoubt-
edly unbalanced, they are as a rule not
SO much SO as TO be irresponsible.
CzolSosz of unblessed memory was good
type. There was no doubt that he was
not altogether sane. But he was compe
tent to know the difference between right
and wrong Weilbrenner may have been
a little more unbalanced, but had he sue
ceeded in infiictings bodily injury on the
President, or even in making an unsuc
cessful assault, the law would have re-
garded him as responsible. As it is, he
has been sent to an asylum for violent
lunatics.
1t is generally believed that stringent
federal laws are needed to insure the
increased safety of the President. At the
last session the Senate passed such a
measure, hut it was permitted TO die in
the House. This may be revived and
amended or an entirely new bill may be
introduced. The radical departure which
this will mark from the early simplicity
of the republic is made necessary by the
changed conditions, the vastness of the
population, the new and widely differ
ent elements of our people and the sad
lessons of experience.

adverse effect ON valres. Supplies are
gaining. but the buying keeps steady
pace, with the foreign demand somewhat
better, although not quite as looked for.
Live stock receipts were 3O1,246 head,
a 2. per cent gain over corresponding
week of a year ago. There was strong
bidding for choice beeves and shippers
increased their takings, without mate
rally changing prices. The best hogs
made a moderate advance. Sheep came
forward in large numbers and were dis
posed of at a slight decline. Hog pro-
ducts were advanced sharply on wider
domestic demand.
Grain buying exhibited but slightly in
creased cash business, and there is lit
tie speculation noticeable in the pits.
Prices moved within narrow limits, the
coarse grains being strongest. Flour
quotations continue strongly upheld and
several bids were accepted for the Unit
ed Kingdom. Receipts of produce COM
pared with corresponding week of last

buyers into st. Louis stimulates dry

Nebraska buying freely, especially from

are slow at the South and Northwest,
because of the crops being late, but this
is less noticeable at the Southwest.
Bad weather is delaying thrashing and
harvesting of spring wheat, and with con-
tinuance promises to be serious. Lack

Weekly Review of Trade. Continuing,
the report says:
Trade conditions are still uneven, but
the general drift is toward improvement.
A more assured feeling as TO the corn
crop out turn is manifest, conditions in
most States having improved since Sept.
/. State fairs and low-rate excursions
have stimulated western distribution.
while good prospects for corn, cotton. rice
and sugar at the South have made for
cheerfulness in that section. Eastern
trade advices are of less notable activity.
In the West lumber and building mate
rial of all kinds is active and firm, but
at the East the resumption of building
operations at strike-infested cities has not
been sufficient to keep the markets strong.
Railway earnings in August were 81
per cent larger than last year and 15.4
per cent greater than in 1901. Owing to
the lateness of the crops there is little
complaint of traffic congestion.
At the West there is more activity.
notwithstanding heavy receipts of cattle.
packers are asking fractionally higher
figures for hides. Prices of cotton goods
are slow to reflect the reaction in the
raw material, and the demand is not i'm
proved. On the contrary, buyers are
encouraged to delay placing contracts and
mills are not seeking business. In the
jobbing trade large distribution of mer-
chandise is in progress, this branch OF
the industry reporting a profitable sea-
son.
