Two Men Instantly Killed and a Third
Dies of His Injuries.

Rockville Center, L. L., July IA
James Snyder of Brooklyn and Frank
]. Carroll of Amityville were instant
~ killed and a man believed to be j.
W. Jewell Of Brooklyn was SO badly
injured that he died soon after, as the
result of a collision between a big
touring automobile and a train on the
Long Island railroad at Merrick Road
crossing last night. The automobile
was apparently racing with the train
and was ahead as it approached the
crossing. The flagman at the cross
ing waved his flag and his lantern as
a warning and the engineer of the
train, which was going a full speed,
reversed the engine and blew his
whistle, but the automobile shot on
into the turn and upon the track.
Jewell was thrown high in the air and
landed sixty feet from the rails.
The car, with it's two other occu-
pants crushed in the wreckage, was
carried 500 feet on the cowcatcher of
the locomotive.

BADLY shaken UP and bruised, but all
of the serious casualties occurred in
the first car.
h uninjured passengers and the
trainmen at once fastened to the re-
lief of those who were pinned down
under the wreckage and who we're
shrieking piteously for aid.
The scene of the wreck was two
miles from anywhere, and much delay
ensued before some of the injured
who were held down by heavystimbers
could be extricated. Nothing could
be done for them until lifting ma
chinery came from Chicago HEIGHTS.
Men were sent running along the
tracks to both Chicago Heights and
Glenwood, asking for aid, and in a
short time trains bearing physicians
and supplies for the wounded were on
their way from both stations. The
first train to arrive on the scene came
from Chicago Heights and carried six
physicians. A short time afterward a
second train arrived from Glenwood
bringing additional physicians and a
number of nurses.
Darkness had fallen when the sec.
ond train arrived and the work Of
rescue and relief went on by the light
of large bonfires that were built along
the side of the track of wreckage
taken from the smashed cars.
1t was nearly 10 o'clock when the
last of the injured had been taken
from the w%reckage, half an hour later
than that time when the temporary
dressing had been applied to the last
wound, and the relief train carrying
it's woeful burden started for the city.
It was stopped at Sixty-first street and
the dead taken to various undertaking
establishments in the suburb of Engle-
wood while the injured were hurried
to Englewood hospitals, where the first
of them were received at about II
o'clock. +...MI n .".o

EFFORTS TO END THE PACKING.
HOUSE STRIKE MAY PROVE
SUCCESSFUL.
BOTH SIDES coNCILlAToRY
MEETING TO BE HELD BY THE
PACKERS AND STRIKING
EMPLOYEES.

Chicago, July 14.-Wednesday bore
out predictions Of the clearinghouse
proprietors that the strike would not
cause a stoppage Of operations. In
the great abbatoir district things
moved slowly, indeed, but they moved.
All the packinghouses reported that
they slaughtering a little. Every
department was said to be doing some
thing, not much, but it was expected
to increase activity today. Trading
was heavily curtailed.
Some hundreds of new workmen
were hired and put to work in tpe
places which had been vacated in
thousands. On the other hand the
strike spread somewhat by the action
OF the teamsters in considerable num-
bers, but ostensibly as to individuals,
refusing to haul the product of newly
hired workmen. This refusal was
usually based on the time honored
plea that a different course, contracts
Notwithstanding, would put the teams
ter in peril of his life. The extensive
installments of sleeping cots and cook
ing apparatus for strike breakers at
the various packinghouses was appa-
rently the main irritant cause for ac-
ton by the transfers, although there
were a number of sporadic outbreaks
on a small scale.
The clearinghouse proprietors do
not appear to fear the alleged inter-
ference of mobs. j. Ogden Armour in
a runabout made a tour of the stock
yards and the streets adjacent. He
was recognized all the way by strik-
ers, but met no demonstration.
Arbitration in Prospect.
The initial step toward a settlement
of the controversy by mediation has
been taken by the state board of ar
bitration. When the members Of the
board of arbitration reached Chica-
go, they at once went into conference
with Michael ]. Donnelly, the leader
of the strike and listened to his side
of the story. They then went to the
packers and heard their side of the
difficulty. AS a result of these two
hearings, Mr.. Donnelly sent a com
munication to the packers, in which
it was stated the unions were willing
to accept a settlement through a board
of arbitration. A conciliatory reply
is expected from the employers today.
Mr.. Donnelly declared last night that
this offer of arbitration had not
reached him before the strike was
called and if the packers would agree
it would be the same proposition as
that advanced by the men.
The state board of arbitration said
that as both sides appeared to be will
ing to adopt conciliatory methods, a
peaceable solution would probably be
reached within a short ti17e. Late
last night the state board Oh arbitra-
ton arranged a meeting between the
officers of the unions and representa-
tives of the packers for today.
The price of meat has been advanc-
ed in many cities.

st. Paul, July 14.-Two-thirds of the
employees at the Swift company pack
ing plant, South St. Paul-ffty men
and forty wOmen-were idle yesterday
during the second day of the strike
declared Monday noon at Chicago by
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butchers union.
Two hundred pickets represented
the strikers outside the Swift plant
and at every passenger station be-
tween South st. Paul and Minneapolis.
They turned back several parties of
nonunion men arriving at South st.
Paul. According to the strikers thirty
four men were thus halted, and only
three entered the plant.
The two small Independent plants at
South st. Paul granted union wages
and worked at full capacity.
The only actual violence was dis
played towards a former employee,
who was roughly hustled away from
the gate of the plant last evening
when he tried to enter.
At retail yesterday the local price Of
pork had risen two cents a pound be-
cause of the strike. Beef had risen
from two to six cents. The prices
were generally unchanged at restau-
rants and hotels.
