Denver, Sept. 2S.-A special to the

McClelland who is an attorney, acted
as legal representative of the military

in making military arrests since the
troops arrived in the camp.
The petition for habeas corpus in be-
half of Charles E. Kennison, president
of the Cripple Creek Miners union. and
w. S. Davis, an official of the union
will probably be heard on Tuesday
when Judge Seeds returns from Den
yer. Should the writ issue and the mil
itary authorities decide not to turn the
prisoners over to the civil authorities, it
is stated they will be brought into court
under military escort.
The company of Occur d'Alene men.
numbering in the neighborhood of So

will be put to work in the mines at
once.
a statement issued by the executive
committee of the miners says that there
are close to 1000 union miners working

that are fair. There are about 200 men

STOCK YARD TROUBLE.
Demand to Be Made for Unionization
and More Wages.

Chicago Sept 2s-Employes of all
the stock yards in the country have
formulated a demand which will be
presented Wednesday and refusal of
which viii be followed by the strike Of
o.. 600 men all oyer the country. The
demand insists upon complete unioni-
zation OF all plants and an increase of
10 per cent in wages. Figuring the
average yearly wage at 5000. which is
a low average. this would add three
million dollars annually to the payroll.
The stock yards operators decline to
discuss their probable action, although
It is considered certain they will refuse
the demand. They are not so hostile to
increasing the wage scale, but stand
firmly against unionizing the plants,
which they think would be followed by
a demand for more wages Immediately.
