BITTER FIGHT ON.
Strike Has Become General in Chi
CagO StOCkyardS.

Chicago, July 27.-With all peace
negotiations broken off and with all
the allied trades unions employed at
the different plants, with the exception
of the teamsters and stationary engin-
eers, out on strike In sympathy with
the butcher workmen who quit work
two weeks ago, the stock yards strike
tonight had settled down to what PROM
ises to be one of the bitterest fights be-
tween capital and labor in the history
of America.
As has been threatened for some
time, the allied trades employed in the
packing industry quit work when called
on today to assist the striking butchers
in their efforts to bring the packers to
terms. In several instances the men
did not wait for the official notification
from their leaders to go on strike, but
threw down their tools and quit work
of their own volition.
At O'Clock tonight the statement
was made by M. J. Donnelly. president
of the butchers union, that every
union man employed at the stockyards,
with the exception of the teamsters and
engineers, had responded to orders for
a general sympathetic strike. The en-
gineers, he declared, would join the
strikers tomorrow MOI ming, and, unless
there was speedy settlement of the
difficulty, he said, the teamsters would
undoubtedly join their brother work
men in their struggle for supremacy.
According to Mr.. Donnel,y, today's
strike swelled the number of men who
have quit work at the stockyards in
Chiago alone to nearly $4,000 persons.

DEMOCRATIC TOWNS.

In a town in Pennsylvania, Tor many
years. all the voting had been for Demos

a Republican organization, and finally

success so far.
Crusade Against Tammany.
II began my work in 1885. At that
time there was a crusade against Tam
many rule in New York city, and it was
not as difficult to get women into it at
that time as II would have been under
normal conditions. talked with Mrs.
Foster about my ideas. and while she
vas doubtful OF their feasibility she lent
me her assistance.
It went to Governor OdeH, who was
then State chairman. and laid my plan
before him. He had been bothered a
good deal by women. who presented
plans which were not practical He
liked mine. though. and told me to 80
ahead, that he would give me all the as
sistance he could. and would print my
literature for me.
Worked on East Side.
MY plan was to form a small wo-
mans club and hold small ward meet
ings. at which the leading politicians
would speak ! got eleven women al
together for my club. and we started
out.
AT that time DIR. Parkhurst WAS a
force IN New York politics, and he and
a number Of others used TO SPEAK for
rs The East Side was the scene OF our
operations We hired small halls and
had these Republican meetings in tie
Tammany stronghold Sometimes it was
tickIish business for they used TO try
10 break us up. although I must say.
in the main, we had excellent prOteC-
ton. even from Tammany policemen.
From this one small club We have
grown into a State organization with a
good deal of power. We have our regu-
lar headquarters on the East Side.
where there are club rooms. from which
the daily visiting is done by the tene-
ment workers, and where Republican
literature can always be found. When
the campaign is not on we try to keep
up the education Of the tenement house
women and do what we can 10 help
them III other ways.
I'VE have regular interpreters, and it
is often too funny to hear one Of our
"heelers talking to a Russian Jew wo-
man in her own Yiddish tongue. such
a jabbering you have never heard.
1t is effective, though. for we have
good interpreters. intelligent women who
can not only translate our words, but
who can convey the idea we wish

He was met and graciously welcomed
by an unusually pretty little woman
with brown hair and eyes. Unsophisti-

and attractive woman. apparently well

in all the honorable methods of poll
tics and in close touch with the de-

The element of the superficial. SC

conspicuous by its absence where Miss
Boswell is concerned. The characters

tional Republican Association rooms in
this hotel for headquarters and from
this point most OF the work is to be
done.
The location Of the headquarters in
Denver means that where women vote
IS the pivotal point. as far as the wom-
ans association is concerned. Eastern
States Will have women in their cam
paigns. but not to such an important
extent as Colorado. Idaho. Wyoming
and Utah.
President Roosevelt has made a
special request Of Mrs. Foster to speak
for him in Colorado and Idaho. AS there
is some uncertainty about Idaho he IS
particularly anxious that she go there,
and she has promised 10 do so. Mrs.
Foster is an excellent Speaker and has
the ability TO put her thoughts into the
clearest terms. She never fails to make
her impress upon her audience. She Is
eloquent as well as clear. and has more
than once proven invaluable at a crit
teal time.
Work for New York.
Another interesting woman who lives
in Washington a great part OF her
time is Mess Helen Varick Boswell. or
ganizatlon secretary Of the Woman s
National Republican Association, and
ex-president Of the New York State or
ganization. When Mrs. Foster was in
New York in 1895 she met Miss Bos-
well
The two became well acquainted, and
after hearing Mrs. Foster talk, Miss
Boswell became convinced that WON
ans republican association could be
started In New York She spoke 10 Mrs.
| Foster about IT. but Mrs. Foster was in
clined to be skeptical. She thought New
York too conservative for a woman $
political organization, but consented to
DO all she could TO help Miss Boswell.
/ Miss Boswell formed her own plans
and sought the aid OF two friends, Mrs.

what they think Is right.
West a Fertile Field.
In 1858 the Woman's National Repub-
lican Association was formed by Mrs.
J. Ellen Foster. the present president
as a result of her observation of the
Primrose League. She took the West as
the most fertile field for her labors. and
IL was not long before she realized that
her choice was not a bad one. The West
eTn women were more advanced along
such lines than their Eastern sisters
and took the more readily to Mrs. Fos-
ter's teachings.
II was not long before her influence
began TO be felt. She organized State
associations to affiliate with the national
organization. and by degrees solidihed
the whole federation.
In Wyoming women were voting as
early as 1859, and only one year later
the same privilege was enjoyed by them
in Utah.
Colorado became the home OF woman
suffrage IN 1895. as did Idaho in the same
year In a number of other Western
States there was wouan's suffrage TO a
limited extent. such as in school board
elections and other elections where wo-
men were supposed to be directly inter-
ested.
They Organize Clubs.
It has long been a regular phase OF
every campaign, IN the four States
where women have fulI vote, for them
to organize political clubs. but : these
clubs died out for the most part as soon
- the elections were over, and had to
be reorganized with every campaign.
All this has been changed, largely
through the influence and work OF Mrs.
Foster, who, when she had brought all
the clubs into a national association,
kept them together between campaigns.
Officers were elected for terms Of two
and four years and club rooms were
kept open. Able neutenants soon rallied
10 Mrs. Fosters support, and today
there are a number Of women whose
names are known all over the West as
camraign workers and orators.
The Women Democrats.
The Democrats accepted the challenge
and went to work with equal will but it
IS only IN the four States where women
vote that the Democratic organizations
are kept UP as are the clubs allied to
the great Republican organization.
OF the women who do the best work
In the West IL is interesting to know
that the two most prominent live in
Washington a greater part Of their time.
They are Mrs. Foster and Miss Estelle
Reel Mrs. Foster is n cosmopolitan.
and one can hardly say where her home
really IS Miss Reel is from Wyoming,
and today holds the most important
Government position ever held by a
woman. because OF the work she did
In the past campaign.
When her State went Republican Mr..
Mckinley was told who was responsible
for getting out a great many Republican
votes He was somewhat surprised
when he was told that Miss Estelle
Reel woman, did the work.
Miss Reels friends then told of the
capable work she had been doing before
the campaign and OF the value Of the
women as political workers. and Mr.
Mckinley promptly expressed his ap-
probation Of this by appointing Miss
Reel superintendent OF Indian schools,
a position she stu holds.
