they have voted upon themselves to pro-

RUMORS OF TROUBLE.
Chicago AEitators at Work I'm the
Plant of Kingnn & Co.

There is a rumor abroad that a strike is
threatened among the pork-packers of
Kingan & Co., of this city. Representa-
tives of the pork-packing unions Of Chica-
go have been circulating among the Kingan
men. 1t is said, In an attempt to induce the
Indianapolis packers to join in the strike
that now exists among the pork-packers Of
Chicago and Cincinnati. There is a rest
~lessness among the Kingan men, employees
say, and although no demands have been
made upon the employers, the walking
delegates have made an impression. The
strike would be unfortunate as we'll as un-
necessary, as the best OF relations now
exist between the employers and the en-
ployes.
For several weeks the Chicago men have
been urging the adoption of the Chicago
system" by which expert workmen do not
lave to work such long hours and do not
receive as large wages. The fact that
Kingan & Co. pay more than any other
house in the country to their employees
gave the employers a security in their
position with the men. They believe that
the present agitation will amount to moth
ing. There has been no strike at Kingan's
for the last twenty-five years. and it Is not
believed the men will walk out simply to
benefit the unions in Chicago and Cincin-
natl.

the increase were to be sent to jail for two

President Buchanan, of the International
Association of Structural Iron Workers, has
called a strike of the members of his or
ganization in the employ Of the Iron
League. After repeated conferences with
the Employers Association nothing was
accomplished in the direction of peace and
President Buchanan saw that a strike was
necessary. Just how widespread the tie-up
will be depends on the number Of men In
the employ of the association.

James O'Connell, international president
of the machinists, calls the attention of the
members of his organization to the fact
that they have at the present time over a
hundred strikes on their list, and that the
drain on the treasury is so large that it
may necessitate the placing of special as
sessments. So he tells them to go slow
on striking and that no strike benefits will
be paid unless the strike was approved by
the board before 1t occurred.

in a discouraging condition as far as a
settlement is concerned. The molders say
that they will not weaken and will stand
firm until the shop Is made a closed one.
The conference Friday was the only one
held since the strike was called, over two
weeks ago. and the fact that neither side
will bend indicates that probably many
more weeks will pass before the trouble
is satisfactorily arranged.
One hundred and forty iron molders are
affected by the strike. The men walked
out because of the refusal of the employers
to grant their demand for n closed shop.

than realized and the Colorado operators
are even more surprised than were the an
thracite operators IN 1900. Fully two-thirds
of the miners of the district are out and
are receiving accessions every day. The
slogan of the organization to the strikers
is stand firm" The price Of coal. it Is
said, has already more than doubled since
the strike was called and even though the
bluffs about Large stocks have been
thrown broadcast, there are no large stocks,
not even in Trinidad.

miners declare that the violations Of the
law by the operators is beyond endurance
and they will hold out until they are given
the full quota of the law.

READY TO BUILD
KONA.KAU ROAD

one of the passengers on the steamer
Sonoma from San Francisco yesterday
was H Wilson, of the San Francisco
firm of Wilson. Lyons & Co. dealers ia
railroad supplies. Mr.. Wilson's firm
has the contract for the construction Of
the Kona-Kau Railroad, and Mr. Will
son is visiting the Islands in the inter-
est of that project. He will leave Ho-
nolulu in the Mauna Loa for Kona to
look over the ground. Mr.. Wilson was
met at the dock by H. S. Dimond, who
has been representing his firm here for
some time past. While on Hawaii he
will go over the entire railroad project
thoroughly and expects to return here
in about three weeks.
1t is expected that a wonderful nat
ural development will follow the con-
struction. Notably, there is on foot
now a scheme on the part of some San
Francisco capitalists to engage in the
raising of livestock on the Island of
Hawaii on a larger scale than has ever
heretofore been attempted. 1t is their
belief that all the meat for the Island
market can be raised prof1tably on the
higher lands of Hawaii. At least a de-
termined effort is to be made in that
as soon as the Kona-Kau
Railroad has been completed.
