Scrspers Quit Work-Sympathy
Strikes Are Promised.

Chicago, Feb. Ga strike was in
augurated last evening in a number of
prominent Office buildings of this city
by the elevator starters and conduc-
tors. The janitors and window clean
ers are also out. The men were called
out because the officers of the Building
Owners and Managers association de-
clined to sign an agreement to recog-
nize the union.
The teamsters, 1t Is claimed, will re-
fuse to deliver coal to any of the build
ings and engineers and firemen may go
on strike until a settlement shall be
reached. In the buildings already af-
fected 10000 people are employed.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Discussion of
the statehood bill in the senate yes
terday turned on the question Of
polygamy, but nothing new was said.
Kean, who had intended continuing his
remarks begun Wednesday in oppCsi-
ton to the bill, yielded the floor so
often during the day that before he re-
sumed the senate went into executive
session and adjourned a few minutes
afterwards.
The antitrust bills debate which
opened in the house yesterday did not
develop much animation. The bill to
expedite antitrust prosecutions passed
the house, as it did the senate, with
out word oe debate. The postoffice
appropriation bill was passed before
the trust bills were taken up. The
death Of Moody Of North Carolina was
announced, and out Of respect to his
memory the house adjourned.

PROFIT

The matter of feed is of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his cows to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

refusing to accept the allies proposal

that he declines to act as arbiter to

tons with Bowen.
Allies Hold q Conferences.
At 10 a. m. today at the British en-
bassy there was a conference of the
representatives here of the allies. In
view Of the fact that the London gov
eminent is now taking the lead in the
negotiations the British ambassador
presided at this conference. In the
meantime he probably had an inter-
view with the secretary of state whom
he sounded as to the probability OF
the presidents acceptance of the allies
request. The British ambassador was
the first of the representative to re-
ceive instructions along this line.
Doesn't Surprise Washington.
Announcement Of the decision of the
allies to abandon further negotiations
with Bowen has not been received
with surprise by the few officials Of
the Washington government who have
been advised of 1t. Whether Presi-
dent Roosevelt will accept this invita-
ton of the allies is not known The
instructions received by the Britis b
ambassador are not quite clear as to
the alternative to be pursued In the
event that the president declines to
act as 3rbiter of the question. The
drafting of protocol will occupy some
time, but it is the understanding that
upon the submission of the matter
either to the president or The Hague
the blockade is to be raised at once.
