REPAIRING THE DAMAGE.

Have TO Be Docked.
vladivostok. Aug. 22.-Repairs to
the cruisers Rossia and Gromoboi are
proceeding rapidly. 1t is believed
1t will be possible to complete them
without docking the vessels. and that
it will. therefore, take a COMPARE
lively short time. , SO, . ~
There Is big reserve of naval guns
here, all ready for installation and Of
ficers and men have been already
chosen from the Siberian reserves to fill
up the places of those who were killed
or wounded in the fight with Vfce-Ad-
miral Kamamura's squadron.
The reserves responded to the call
eagerly, despite the fact that most of
them are married. and that they have
had a terrible object lesson from the
crowd of wounded already In the hos
pitfalls here. The wounded, on the 9TH
err hand. are not viewing these prepa-
rations with equanamity. The first
complaints they have uttered have been
against having their places filled.
The condition of the wounded gen.
orally is good. and only one had died
since they wvre brought ashore. Those
whose cases are the most serious are
pleading not to be removed from vlad
ivostok in the fear that they will not
get back to their ships.

Packing Plant Goes TO Court Against
Chicago.

NhfcukUs
Chicago, Aug 22.--The packers to-
day asked for an injunction preventing
the city of Chicago from interfering
with their housing of their employees
I'm their plants during the continuation
of the strike. The injunction was
asked In the name of the Hammond
Packing Company and insisted that tho
companies were violating no law and
were acting entirely within their
rights.
The attorneys for the city charged
in their reply to the application for the
Injunction that the building of the
Hammond company does not contain
the requisite number of fire walls,
stairs or windows called for by the
ordinances that the second floor, with
but one flight of stairs leading from
II contains 1870 cots AM that the dan

Arguments were heard by Judge
Brentano for three hours and will be
continued tomorrow.
Colored ministers and officers OF col

today to be making a secret investi-

UNION FILES PAPERS
EFFORT TO INDICT EMPLoYERs'
ASSOCIATION.


New York, Aug. a2.--The building
trades alliance, a union organization,
through counsel today made fresh
attack on the Building Trades EN-
ployers' Association by placing certain
documentary evidence before Acting
District Attorney Rand for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining whether this
evidence was sufficient to bring the
prosecution OF certain employers.
The charges against the employers
are .'blasklisting' members Of some OF
the trades affiliated with the alliance
and of conspiracy to restrain trade py
entering into agreements with unions
whereby the Masters Association pro-
Ats over outside contractors.
The matter was considered at length
today at the district attorneys ONCE.
At this meeting 1t was said nothing
would be done by Mr.. Jerome as evil
action had not been produced against
the employers on the strength of the
opinion handed down Saturday last by
City Magistrate Ommen In the action
brought by Assistant District Attor-
ney Rand against Donald Call ct al.
charging conspiracy between the
bosses and the unions In the stone
cutters trade. The magistrate held
that any agreement entered into be-
tween unions and the Masters Asso-
citation whereby the Master Associa-
ton knew in advance of putting in
bids just what bids would be offered
and profits thereby was conspiracy,
1t Is reported that counsel for the
building trades alliance produced evil
dence to show that similar agreements
| to that of the stone cutters have been
entered into by at least one other
| union. which act Is in favor of the
Master Association of that trade.
The presenting OF the evidence
against the employers by counsel for
| the alliance Is considered the frst re-
taliatory measure on the part of the
| unions since the Building Trades EN-
| ployers' Association started in to break
| the building strike in this city by
engaging union men to sign individual
larbitration agreements. The ultima
| tum of the employers that IL the strik-
| ers did not return to work under the
old arbitration agreement their places
| would be filled, went into effect today.
The alliance held lively meeting and
1.-The strikers were asked to remain
| firm Trouble was feared when union
| men were asked to work beside non
union employees, but no violence oc-
CURED.
The employment of new men to take
| the places of the men who have been
locked out or who struck and who
have not returned to work went on
slowly today. President Charles l..
Eidlitz of the employers association
said that over 500 applications were
received and that III men had signed
a new agreement which was presented
to each applicant before he was hired.

STRIKE rs TENNESSEE.
Coal Diggers In all Probability Will
Walk Out.


Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. ga big
strike of all the union miners employ
eo In this district Is looked for ac-
cording to the statement of j. r Hill
OF this city, one of the leading opera
tors. Mr.. Hill states that unless terms
which now seem impossible, are agree
to. all of the men in the Kentucky
tennessee district will walk out. He
mas Just returned from a joint meet
ing of the operators and miners of the
district. The proposition made by the
operators to the miners is as follows ::
First-A reduction of Is per cent on
the mining rate. Is per cent on the day
labor scale and l per cent on dead
work.
Second-General conditions to remain
as heretofore, grievances of individ-
ual mines to be considered by the scale
committee.
The miners have submitted the fol-
lowing propositions:
renewal of last years contract with
the following changes:
First-Eight hours In lieu of nine
hours shall constitute a days work and
the nine-hour rate to be paid for eight
hours.
second-A straight run of mine basis
in lieu of the double system now in
vogue.
Third-Local conditions to be taken
up for consideration and adjustment.
Mr.. Hill, who is Chairman of tho
Committee. said today: Il regard the
situation as being very grave. The
operators to avoid a strike. offered to
consent to a reduction of IL IL per
cent on both the mining and day labor
scales-a concession of 2 12 per cent.
This offer. however, has been rejected
by the miners and consequently with
drawn. Our proposition is now as 1t
wa soriginally. and am sure that the
operators will not consent to a reduc-
ton of less than IL 1-2 per cent. They
stand stiff on that point and there may
be a general strike in the near future. .
A great deal depends on the outcome
Of the meeting of the National Execu-
tive Committee Of the United Mine
Workers which meets at indianapolis
tomorrow. The meeting has been
called and on the result of 1t will de-
pend the future action of both miners
and operators.
This strike. together with the one
on in the Alabama district. would
practically tie up soft coal mining.

said. IF you won't take that, what is
your price?' He Is said to have re-
piled that there was not enough money
in any bank in Montgomery to buy his
vote.
An interesting condition in the COM
mittee is said to have been RESPONSE
BILE for the OFFER. Petitions signed by
LAPS citizens of Montgomery County
asked the committee to elect Treas
urer Cochran and not have a primary.
Mr.. Cochran had some strong and in
fluential friends, and the committee was
very nearly evenly divided on the ques-
ton.
The friends Of the petition and the
friends OF Mr.. Cochran are said to
have had exactly half of the commit
tee. They were counting on certain
promises that had been made.
But conditions changed with start
ling suddenness. At the beginning of
the meeting Morgan s. Gilmer handed
In his resignation because the people
In his beat had secured from him a re-
luctant pledge to vote for the election
BY the committee or step down and
out. He quit the committee rather
than vote for the granting OF the Pc
titions. He was later reelected a
member.

ed on to vote for the election. arose to
an explanation. He had, he said, given
an implied promise to vote, for an cleo
ton by the committee, but that he IA
vored a primary. He had been so wor-
ried by the situation that he had ask
ed his friend for release from the i'm
piled promise. Having been refused.
he absolved himself from the promise.
In this way Mr.. Cochran's friends
saw two OF their votes fade away and
realizing the situation they withdrew
without a fight.
In the meanwhile the campaign for
County Treasurer goes merrily on. The
candidates and their friends are hard
at work.
The published account of the meet.
ing were in error in saying that John
c. Carter was absent. Mr. Carter was
present throughout the meeting and
was for primary from the outset.
