The Strike of Stock Yard Employees

Chicago, July 16.-There is no new
feature of the strike today. Pessimism
was apparent this morning when it was
realized that the packers were really de-
termined to abide by their declaration
as to the proposed method Of arbitration
of the great meat strike Whether the
packing trades central body will call a
sympathetic strike will be determined at
special meeting tonight. Nearly 12,-
900 men employed in various trades at
the stock yards and who belong to the
thirty unions, arc connected with this
organization. These employees are not
bound by any agreement with the
packers. Additional depression was
lent to the situation when it becam
known that Samuel Gompers, President
of the American Federation of Labor,
who came to Chicago from Milwaukee to
assist the labor leaders here to present
their side of the case to the packers, had
departed from his hotel after declaring
that he was going out of the city. This
was taken to infer that Gompers had
concluded that there was nothing further
to be gained in the preliminary negotia-
tions between the conflicting parties to
the strike. 1t is said that Donnelly's
reply today will be OLA conciliatory
nature, and a request for another con-
ference with the packers.
A slight disturbance was caused early
today by small crowd which attempted
to prevent a score or more of union men
from entering the yards at Ashland ave-
nue.. No one was hurt.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon, the reply
of President Donnelly to the packers
will be submitted and be given out at a
conference of the employers.
New York, July 16.-There is no
material change in the strike situation
today. Several minor disturbances Oc-
Cured in the neighborhood of the pack
ing houses last night. 1t is reported
that many OF the strikers are anxious to
return to work, but Ii. l.. Eichelberger,
who has charge of the local situation,
denies it. Sympathetic strikes are
looked for if the butchers strike is not
settled. No killing has been done in
any of the local packing houses since
the strike aud the reserve supply is
almost exhausted.

Fatal Head-on Collision.

Olean, n. Y, July 16.-The north
bound flyer on the Pennsylvania Rail
road, running at full speed, collided,
head on, with freight train at Shipper,
a small station, six miles north of En-
porium, Pa, at 4:30 this morning. The
passenger train had two engines. Fire
man KrOsseler and fireman Sullivan, OF
the passenger engines, were killed. Bag
gage master Hensen, engineer Parker,
and brakeman Socum we're badly hurt.
None of the passengers was seriously hurt.
The front engine of the flyer and the
freight engine .telescoped each other
while the second engine on the flyer
was thrown on top of the other two.
Fourteen freight cars we're wrecked. A
dense fog prevailed and prevented the
engineer on the passenger train seeing
the freight until too late.

PEOPLE IN Baltimore are being In
censed by the disorderly procedures on
the part OF some negroes in that city
who seem disposed to retaliate on the
Legislature of Maryland for passing the
Jim Grow law now being put in force in
that State. For the second time within
a week a negress has climbed on Bal
timore street car and deliberately sat
down in the lap Of well-dressed white
woman. In each case several blacks
have climbed on the car at the same
time and have threatened anyone at
tempting to Gust them. The circum-
stances of these assaults and the prompt
ness with which bail was furnished leads
the police to believe the negroes are
making a concerted attempt to make
white passengers on street cars as un-
comfortable as possible. The latter
should procure the avis the plug uglies
of the monumental city used at election
booths many years ago.

REV. W. A. SHAW, pastor OF Mil
waukee Congregational Church, to raise
funds for repairs and improvements has
rented 10 business men advertising priv
ileces in his church in return for liberal
donations. Similar concessions are to
he made to merchants who will guaran-
Tee that certain number Of persons be-
come regular attendants at the church.
By this means the money necessary to
decorate the church has already been
secured. Two merchants paid $50 and
$40 respectively to have their names in
asphalt in front of the church. The
church and the world often go hand in
hand, and the line between the two is
about as visible rs the equator. The
above is an instance in point. 1t is the
growing conviction of many people that
the church in too many instances resorts
to methods to raise money which would
incur the displeasure of One who many
centuries ago welded whip cord in
clearing the sanctuary of those who pro-
famed it with secular employments. We
live in day when most of the time Of
some church gatherings is consumed IN
discussing business propositions-hOw
TO raise money or the most feasible
way to keep abreast of other denomina-
tions in their manifold enterprises.

was fighting the Goulds in the State

The Virginia Passenger and Power

Manchester, and Petersburg, with y

A suit for a receiver instituted in the

and the case was nearing the close when
Frank Jay Gould, through the Bowling

is capitalized at $50, 900, 900, of which
more than sl2, 900, 600 is outstanding.
The properties it operates were formerly
for the most part controlled by George

acquired about two years ago by the

SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 10, 1904

THE RAPID advance in the price OF
meat and fears of famine in that prime
necessary as results of the strike of the
employees at the packing houses in the
larger cities, are naturally causing I'M
easiness to thousands. While not called
upon to sit in judgment upon the issues
involved in this contest between en-
ployees and employers, it may be said
that conditions are unfortunate, to say
the least, when such variances arise, or
the majority of the people ofthe country
are necessarily the suffers until the d.
ference between the two factions are adj
Indicated. Strikes eventually run their
course. but much trouble often follows
before the issues burn out. 1t is lament
able to think that in country like the
United States, whose broad domains ex-
tend from the Atlantic to the Pacific with
its northern limits in perpetual SHOWS
and its southern boundary in the tropics,
that the inhabitants should periodically
be tormented by conditions which render
fuel or provisions scarce and high. The
country is blessed by muni6cent proSi-
dence. Nearly everything that can be
produced elsewhere can be grown in the
United States, and with the continent
grid-ironed with railroads cry necessary
of life can be transported at short notice.
With such facilities, however, and bless
ed in basket and store, dearth from other
than natural causes often beset us.

Senator German.

Senator German yesterday sent the

land delegation who attended the st.
Louis convention:
Dear SIR: AS I was deprived of the
pleasure of accompanying you to st.
Louis, / wish now to thank you for the
part you took as delegate from this
State in the convention. The course OF
the Maryland delegation at st. Louis
could not, think, have been excelled,
and they undoubtedly exercised great in
nuence in bringing about the result.
The final action of Judge Parker in send
ing his telegram giving his views as to
the monetary question and the response
of the convention to this telegram have
placed the democratic party in position
where, with the ticket nominated and
the platform adopted, they should be
successful in the coming election. Again
thanking you for your personal kindness
to me am yours very truly,

VIII Speak Before American Economic
Association In Chicago.
Des Moines, Aug. lit Is announced
that John A. Kasson of Iowa has con-
ditionally accepted an invitation to de-
liver the address at the meeting of
the American Economic association to
be held in Chicago the latter part Of
December.
1t IS on account of his acceptance of
this invitation that his visit to Iowa
friends has been postponed until De-
cember. He had expected to come to
Iowa and Des Moines In Septem Der or
October.
The American Economic association
Is an organization whose purpose is
signified by Its name. Professor Taus-
sig of Harvard university is the presi-
dent of it. He is author Of the Ellis
tory Of the Tariff in the United States"
the "Silver Situation in the United
States" and wages and Capital" He
also Is editor of the Quarterly Journal
Of Economics.
The selection Of Mr.. Kasson as the
principal speaker of the annual meet
ing is regarded among politicians as
significant.
Mr.. Kasson, in a letter just received
here by a friend says that his health
is very satisfactory. He declares that
if he gets through August as comfort
ably as the first months Of the sum-
mer, he will be nearly his old self
again. He has been accepting invita-
tons to dinner rather reluctantly, but
has discovered that they are helpful
rather than disorganizing. This he re-
CARDS as an encouraging sign.
He probably will visit Des Moines
close to New Years day.
