BUTCHERS PLAN TO
FIGHT PACKERS

NEW YORK. June 3.-Following
the attempts Of Swift & Co., Armour
& Co, and Nelson Morris Il Co. to
obtain poultry stalls in Washington
market. a gigantic struggle Is on be
tween them and the 10000 union
butchers of New York. Brooklyn and
Jersey City.
The union butchers intend to as
sist their employers to stop the pack
ers and a few wholesalers from re
failing at wholesale prices. and the
employers in turn promise the union
butchers a ten-hour day and double
pay for overtime. To accomplish this
the union butchers refuse TO work for
a firm or in shop dealing with the
packers or a firm that sells to hotel
or restaurant. The employers are liv-
ing up their part by signing an agree
ment to employ none but union men.
1t is believed the packers are put
ting forth their utmost strength to OBJ
tain poultry and egg stalls and 1t is
to prevent their further entrance in
to the retail field that the fight has
now been decided on by the retail
meat dealers To win and prevent
their being crushed out of existence
the employers have called on the
butches' union for assistance recogn-
izing that the battle must come soon
er or later.

results, it is said, in a large Berlin

expresses the firm conviction that no
other medicine to produce sleep ap-
proaches veronal in certainty and in

sixty patients of both sexes, and after
the dose the patient was fresh and

of those booms frequently started In

those of Judge Parker and Mr. Bryan

as possibilities. All talk now is simp-
ly talk.
