I'm what light would the packers regard
a contract with the butcher workmen AFT
err these events What argument could
the union leaders adduce IN favor OF such
a contract or i'm favor OF arbitration
The packers had agreements with tho
carworkers and some other labor organ
~izations by which the men were bound
morally not 20 strike. Yet when the
butcher workmcn were seen to e SO IN
the wrong ghat they could not enforce
their demands, these contract-bound
workmen laid down their tools IN sympa-

NO one truthfully can say thai the

unions. They never asked their employees
as to their afhliation with b or.

They knew when the various unions were

Toxic, Aug. 26.-The final assault on
Port Arthur is imminent. Hundreds of
Japanese guns continue to pour a de-
struetive fire n h city and harbor
along the lines of forts and entrench-
ments preparatory for the infantry as
sault.
1T is evident that the Russian lines
rave been weakened and partly pene-
trated In the vicinity of Autzshan and
Itzshan forts.
The entire line of Russian defenses
immediately about the harbor is with
in range of the Japanese guns.
"A number of Russian forts and bat
teries continue to be vigorous. The
japanese death roll will be heavily in
creased before they are captured.
The direction of the Japanese attack
creates the impression here that the
city and d~efenses on either side of the
harbor entrance will fall first.
The final stand will be made at
Liaotishan.
Official channels of information re-
main closed. and the a V departments
announcement of the discharge of a
mine by the hattleship ~Sevastopol and
the firing upon the Russian forts by the
cruisers Nisshin and Kasuagua yester-
day are the only disclosures made for
several days.
1t is believed here that both sides
have suffered heavy losses and that
the final record will make the siege the
b~loodiest inc Sedan.
Chefoo, Aug. 26.-Information of un.
doubtable authenticity states that the
japanese cruisers Nisshin and Kasuga
have bombarded and silenced the Rus
sian forts east of Golden hill at the en-
trance of Port Arthur. The forts re-
ferred to are probably the same, or
very close to, Forts Tai Tangtze and
Thao Chanko, mentioned in former dis
patches.

day Off Port Arthur, had previously.

Hammond. Ind, in the event OF failure
to secure an injunction against the city.
The packers assert that any interfer-

ployes to and from Hammond would
constitute a violation OF the Interstate
law and would necessitate a
federal action.

system OF espionage extending entirely

Action that may have an important

tee of leaders among the organized
teamsters, headed by John s. Field,
~presidentof the Knickerbocker Ice ON
pany. and a former member OF the
Chicago board OF arbitration. visited
the stock yards on a tour of inspection.
This was due to an effort to induce
Field to act as an intermediary in
bringing about some suggestion OF
peace, and his refusal TO offer any sug-
gestions until he had made a personal
investigation OF conditions at packing
hourses. The report of the committee
that accompanied Mr.. Field will be
made to the joint council on this occa-
sion.

WOOL GROWERS SOLD
AT HIGH PRICES.

Savannah Firm Bought the Clip OF
Worth, Berrien, Irwin and COlquitt.
Tifton Ca, July THE wool grow
ers of Worth, Irwin, Berrien and Col
quit met in Triton yesterday to sell
their years clip. Buyers were here
from Savannah, Brunswick, Albany
Valdosta and other points, and the
bidding was spirited. Nearly 10000
pounds was in market and quite a lot
was sold to be delivered later.
The lot was finally sold to A. Ehr-
Itch & Bro of Savannah for 24.44A
cents, being the highest price wool has
brought in number of years. Grow
ers present say the crop is very short
this year. Land being fast opened for
cultivation, leaves the range smaller
every year and many large growers
are moving their fiocks farther south
The late spring and steady cold win
tier also reduced the crop of lambs.
After the auction sale, Mr.. M. D.
Norman of Norman Park, who was
here representing the Normans, Monks
and Nesmiths of Colquitt, sold their
years clip to Morris Mayer of Albany
for 25is cents. This lot will aggregate
between $4,000 and 10000 pounds, and
will make a total of nearly $4,000
pounds sold here yesterday, aggregat-
ing in value $4,000.

Folks who still dare to think will
be forced to one of two conclusions:
Firstly. Either that Mr. Knox is the
only lawyer in America capable of con-
Quoting a suit against a trust-which
is absolutely preposterous for there
are hundreds of lawyers as able as
he is and that the trusts are anxious
to get him out of the Attorney Cen

RAISED MONEY ORDERS
Charge Made Against a Negro Boy
Mt Macon.

Macon, July THE United States
officers of this city believe that they
have in custody a negro who is the
author of a plan which has been sue
cessfully operated to defraud the pub
lie through the postal service in sew
eral states.
The prisoner, Steve Ivey, boy who
was educated in the public schools of
Macon, was this morning arraigned be-
fore the United States commissioner
charged with raising a money order
which was issued in Americas for so
cents, raised to $50 and the attempt
made to pass it on a Macon citizen.
Evidence was introduced to show
that this scheme was being carried out
in all sections of Georgia. Some of the
places which it appeared have been
visited by Ivey are Augusta, Thomas
Vile, Americas, Waycross, Aiken, S. c.,
and Pensacola, Fla, and Savannah.
He was bound over under bond of
$780, which he was unable to furnish.
