IMPURE FOREIGN sTuFFs.
Cabinet Officers Can Stop Their Inn
portation After JULY 1st.

Washington, May 15.-An important
discovery has been made in connection
with the agricultural appropria ton bill
which passed congress at the last ses-
sion. 1t gives the secretary of agricul-
ture cooperating with the secretary
OF the treasury, power to prevent I'M
portation into this country of all i'm
pure food products, liquors and drugs.
The law goes into effect July 1st and
will be strictly enforced. 1t will shut
out of the American market all for
eign impure foods and pave the way to
the speedy passage of a bill in con-
gress to prevent the manufacture and
sale Of similar goods at home. The
fact that the bill contained such pro-
vision was evidently overlooked by the
government officials until very recent
ly, and the general public at no time
has had information concerning 1t.
Exporters will also be glad to know
that the same bill gives the president
power to retaliate against foreign
countries discriminating against AM
erican trade in Germany and Holland.

thirty of Yale's undergraduates have
joined the strike breakers employed by
local trucking companies to take the
places of teamsters who went on a
strike Tuesday. This is the first time

the trucking companies and the UNDER
graduates are deriving good deal of
fun out of driving heaHy trucks about
the city.
The Yale men have been loading and
unloading freight at the railroad yards
for the wholesale companies and Will
continue the work in greater numbers.
The students are doing this for lark,
but the trucking companies say they
make the most satisfactory drivers.
The manager Of one company. ali of
whose regular drivers are on strike.
says the Yale strike breakers do more
loading and unloading than twice as
many regular truck men.

rying freight and articles of interstate
commerce, or from interfering with any
OF their employees by violence. threats or

ARBITRATION REJECTED.
Dubuque Street Car Strikers Withdraw
Their Acceptance of Arbitration.


Their Acceptance of Arbitration.
Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque May 15.-The striking
motormen and conductors have with
drawn their answer to the proposition
of the street car company to have the
differences settled by arbitration, ana
the matter now stands in the same
shape it did after the strike was first
proclaimed over a week ago.
Late Wednesday afternoon meeting
of the strikers was held when 1t was
decided TO withdraw their proposition
to arbitrate and to treat with the Union
Electric Company as union, because
the plan of arbitration did not conform
to the provisions of union rules. The
strikers allege that the proposal to
arbitrate made by the company lacks
good faith. The arbitration PROPOSE
ton was declared off by the strikers
in the following notice to Mayor Berg
who in turn notified the Union Elec-
trio Company:
THE men voiced no objections to
any of the men named by the company
and it is said that they are willing TO
accept either Archbishop keane or
Judge Shiras, but they say that as their
constitution coiss-.s them to arbitrate
on the plan suggested in their answer
it is waste of time to discuss the cap-
ability of any men.
After receiving the proposal of the
company from mayor Berg Tuesday
afternoon the men engaged the services
of Attorney p. ]. Nelson, who Will here
after re epresent them. They instructed
their attorney to notify the mayer who
in turn was to notify the company that
they would arbitrate on the plan OF
having each side name one man ana
then have the two select the third. This
answer was conveyed TO the company.
