PRESIDENT DONNELLY'S LATEST
ORDER AFFECTS ABOUT
$4,000 MEN.
ISSUE IS NOW UP TO TRANSFERS
BIG PACKERS HAVE MEAT BUT
THEY ARE UNABLE TO
DELIVER IT.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-FOllOwing his ap-
peal to the public to abstain from eat
ing meat while the strike lasts, Presi.
dent Donnelly yesterday took steps to
call out every butcher In the country
who is under the jurisdiction of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butch
ers' workmen.
The order goes into effect to-day,
after which union butchers must not
kill stock, if they obey the order. The
men handling the dressed product
have been given until Tuesday night
to empty the cooling rooms of dressed
carcasses, and after that date they are
required not to handle meat in any
capacity.
The order will affect about $1,000
men should they all respond to the
order, which seems doubtful. In New
York city the order will affect 5000
men in the
Independent Plants
and retail stores, for the latter are in
cluded in the order as we'll as the
packing house butchers. Throughout
the State of New York there are
about 10000 members of the union,
but Donnelly says he hardly expects
that all of them will strike, as few of
the towns are thoroughly organized.
Along the Ohio river, at Cincinnati,
Louisville and Evansville, the men are
we'll organized and Donnelly says they
will obey the order. There are about
10000 members in those three cities
and at Cleveland and Indianapolis. At
Louisville the men are thoroughly or
ganized and will obey the order to a
man, Donnelly declares.
President Donnelly seemed to doubt
the judgment of the movement, but it
is understood that the allied trades
are
Forcing the Issue
and want to bring the strike to a eli
max. In Chicago the order will affect
about 1000 additional men, and it ap-
pears that the appeal not to eat meat
will be pretty generally obeyed for the
reason that there will be no meat OBJ
tainable.
The issue is now squarely up to the
teamsters.
The big packers are in a position to
supply all the meat that Chicago
needs. and great deal more, but they
cannot get it out of their plants. Louis
Swift said yesterday:
"Wc have plenty of meat for the
Chicago trade and will furnish all
dealers who come after it."
That expresses the situation. There
is plenty of available meat, but the re-
tail dealers
Do Not Care to Take the Risk
OF sending out their wagons on the
streets while the excitement lasts,
and the packers will not attempt to
send out their own teams at this time.
With the beginning Of the general
strike against the packing companies
the freight handlers employed
throughout the country will be called
on to cease handling meat President
Donnelly said that the freight hand
lers will handle no meat to-day.
"a meat famine will be forced at
all costs. 1t is the best weapon with
which to fight the trust packers, al
though it may not be welcomed by the
independents" said President Dan
nelly.

ing Up for Democratic Candidate

my information, obtained at first
hand, is that the Germans of Mime
sofa will give John A. Johnson, F. G..
Winston and the Democratic state
ticket a splendid VOTE said John S.
erode, president of the ST. Paul board
of public works, yesterday afternoon
as he concluded a talk with one of his
German friends from an interior town
in the state.
II have met some Of the leading men
of my nationality from various parts
of the state where the Germans either
predominant or live in very large num-
bers, and they tell me that Johnson will
run much ahead of the normal Demo-
cratic strength. Reports brought to
me in person from Winona, New Ulm.
Jordan and ST. Cloud-points where
there are large German populations
indicate very clearly the existing senti-
ment among my countrymen in those
towns. They say without any doubt
that Johnson and Winston will run far
ahead of the ordinary Democratic vote,
which is very strong in Winona, Brown,
Scott and Stearns counties.
Il look to see our candidates receive
practically every German Democratic
vote, with the addition of several thou
sand Germans who usually vote the
national Republican ticket"

NEED NOT TELL ACE
Woman Voter Can Keep Her
Secret When Registering

The corporation attorney was yes
terday flooded with questions as TO
the registration of women today. The
ruling to all was that there is nothing
in the law compelling the female vot-
ers to declare their exact age, and that
the widow of a foreign born citizen is
entitled to vote. This latter ruling APP
plies to women whose husbands We're
naturalized before death, thereby maxi
ing their wives citizens of the coun-
try.
Indications are that there will be
surprisingly large number of women
registered, but it is not thought that
the number will reach the 5000 figure
fixed by the Trades and Labor assem-
bly,. In some sections of the city the
question has been mentioned in the
churches, and it is expected that this
will result in bringing out number
of women who would not otherwise
have interested themselves to the ex-
tent of going to the polls.
The Democrats are thoroughly pre-
pared for the work of the day, and the
county committee expects to report
satisfactory results Meetings of the
precinct committeeman have been held
in all the wards, and there is a general
understanding that there will be such
a heavy registration that the result
will not longer be in doubt.

DUNN RUNS BEHIND
CANDIDATE DORSETT
johnson Leads in Cambridge Straw
Vote With the Former Auditor Third

A report that reached the Demo-
cratic state headquarters yesterday de-
tailed an incident that revealed very
strongly the uprising against r. c..
Dunn among the Republicans of his
own congressional district.
Cambridge is the county seat Of
Isanti county, and in addition to being
the home of Senator H. F. Barker, 1t
has the distinction of being the nearest
neighbor on the east Of the Princeton
candidate.
A church fair was held there Satur-
day night and a voting contest was in
augurated to help swell the funds Of
the church. The contest was in charge
of Dunn syHpathizer. but the result
of the voting showed John A. Johnson
the most popular man for governor, c..
w Dorsett, the Prohibitionist candi-
date, second, and r. c. Dunn, the Re-
publican candidate, third. Thirty-four
votes were cast in the contest, for
which a fee was exacted. John A.
Johnson received 20 votes, Mr.. Dorset
8, and Mr.. Dunn 5.
Edward Peterson, deputy assessor of
Ramsey county, spoke at Cambridge on
the same night that the church fair was
held and was greeted by a splendid au-
dience, thoroughly in sympathy with
his remarks for the Democratic state
ticket. Reports from Mr.. Peterson's
meetings indicate that he is making an
admirable campaign for the state ticket.

PECK IS FAvORITE
Democrat Leads in Wisconsin's
Gubernatorial Race

The result in Wisconsin will be close,
but the chances favor the election OF
George w. Peck as governor, accord
ing to Camden West, a former st. Paul
attorney, now located at Elroy, Wis,
who was in the city yesterday.
The Stalwart Republicans, to a large
degree, in the judgment of Mr.. West,
will cast their votes for former Gov.
Peck to insure the defeat of r. A. La
Toilette, the Republican breed
candidate, and this should cinch the
election for the Milwaukee man.
Never before in the United States,
since the politics of the country be-
gam" said Mr.. West, has a campaign
been conducted with more of feeling
than this campaign in Wisconsin. The
situation as between Republicans is at
fever heat all the time and it is not
surprising that some Democrats have
been induced to take sides in the Re-
publican campaign. 1t is hard for a
man to sit by and see a red-hot fight
going on without permitting his SYM
pathieS to get him into the contest on
one side or the other. Gov. Peck,
however, has a substantial party be-
hind him and the chances of his cleo
ton are indeed bright.
1.-THE stalwarts of course never had a
hope of electing their ticket, but of late
they have practically abandoned a
campaign in its behalf. The large per-
centage of that vote will go to Peck in
order to defeat La Toilette, another
part of it will go for ScofeId, the stall
wart nominee, and still another part
will stay at home on election day. A
small percentage of the so-called Bry-
an Democracy of the state will vote
for La Toilette for governor, but every
thing now points to the success OF
Gov. Peck at the polls"

Cleveland Man Is Denied Claim
to Swamp Land

The famous 5S1a-17 land case, involv-

bred thousands of dollars. near Virginia,
Mimi, has finally been settled by the gov
eminent land office at Washington in favor
of the state.
number of years ago F. A. Hyde, of

through the land Office at Duluth-which
land is technically known as lot l, sec
ton 6, township 5S5s, range II west, and
is supposed to be rich in mineral deposits,
as it adjoins a very valuable iron mine.
Hyde filed upon the land, ignorant of the
states claim upon it as swamp land, due
to an error on the part of one of the sur
veyors who failed to state in his notes of
the field survey that the land was
swampy About a year ago the land Of
fee decided against Hyde and in favor
of the state. Hyde took an appeal to the
land department at Washington, which
has decided against him. The state will
soon receive the patent for the land, noti-
