TO RUN WITH LESS MEN
PACKERS PLANS FOR coNDI-
r1oNs AFTER STRIKE ENDS.
Estimated That Fully 5000 Men will
Be Dropped Fsrmanently-Team-
sters, Complaint.

CHICAGO, August 12.-It was reported
In connection with the strike situation to-
day that IL the teamsters voted to return
the packers were willing to make a new
contract for any time desired In that
case the plan to do away with teaming
forces and handle all meats with cars
would be abandoned
The packers are said to be making ar
rangements for running, when the strike Is
over, with 5000 less men than were en-
ployed before the beginning of the strike.
One of the chief complaints was that the
union men were given an average of only
forty-four hours work week. 1t is as
serted to be their intention as soon as
conditions are normal to employ just
enough men to give all a full weeks work
and a full weeks pay.
This, it is estimated, would mean that
5000 men will be- dropped permanently.
Their idea IS to arrange purchases OF 1--we
stock so that the same amount of work
will be done on each day of the week.
Heretofore many cattle have be e.n bought
on one day and fewer on another. The re-
suit was that the whole TO: ce was employed
on some days and only a part of the force
on others. .,
Teansters Bitter Against Non-Support
There is some bitterness among the pack
ing house teamsters because other team
sters are alleged to have failed to give de-
sired support to make the Transfers tie
up effective 1t was reported that to;nOr-
row the packers will resume wagon serv-
ice from the yards. This will be the first
time such work has been done in two
weeks The police have prepared to give
the hackers extra police protection for the
wagons 1t is expected that new plan Of
action will be decided upon at tomorrow
session of the Transfers Joint Councli.
Reports were current today that vote
would be taken to determine whether the
hacking house teamsters go back to work.
Retail meat dealers will not continue
their efforts for joint conference OF pack
ers and stock yards strikers. They Will
now seek to arrange with the union team
sters so their business will not be tied up.
Today George Duddleston, member OF
the retailers committee that called on the
packers, said:
dealers should make any further effort to
bring about a settlement between the pack
ers and the strikers. We devoted hours to
arguments yesterday, and 1t came &c
naught l fear another meeting would be
equally futile. -
Shooting Followed sn Attack.
Shooting followed an attack today on a
Lake Shore and Michigan southern train
bearing large number of strike break
ers from their homes to work at the
stock yards Windows were broken and
a number of the occupants of the train
had been struck by flying missiles when
one of the strike breakers opened fire
into the attacking crossd with a revolver

A HINT 10 PAPA.-Twenty times
William Archibald Stewart had beer
forbidden to cross the trolley track to
buy candy, and twenty times William
Archibald Stewart had disobeyed. Pa
tience had ceased to be virtue with
William Stewards father.
Don't be too hard on. him." the
mother pleaded.
But Williams father had his dander
I'D and his rattan ready as he sum-
1moned the culprit into his august pres
ence.
Willie" he said, how many times
have you been forbidden to cross the
trolley tracks to buy candy?"
William did not answer. but STOOD
with head lowered and hands ready to
press to his eyes.
Don't you know it hurts papa even
more than it does you to have to pun
ish his little boy? Now. suppose you
had a little boy and you had told him
twenty times not to cross the trolley
tracks, and suppose he disobeyed you
what would you do with him."
William swallowed a lump in his
throat and threw back his shoulders
with a visible effort.

like it. But-but Pd-Td try every
thing in this world before I'd lick my
child!"-New York Press.

The Name of the War.

az suppose" said the man who likes
to look up queer things, that the pres
ent war in the east will be called the
Russo japanese war. I come to that
conclusion from diligent perusal of
the papers and the talk of the man In
the street. Now at the time Of the
Spanish American war I looked into
this matter little and I found some
curious condolences. In the first place
I found that all wars designated by a
single word contained in that word the
name of the conquered party. Thus
the Trojan war was won by the Greeks,
the Punic (that is Carthagenian wars)
ended in the victory Of Rome, and the
So called Napoleonic wars came to an
end with the overthrow Of Napoleon.
The Indian war Of 1S41 resulted In
Great Britain's establishment Of her
Indian Empire; the Crimean war came
to a close with the defeat Of the power
that governed the Crimea; we won the
Mexican war; at the end Of the Schles-
wig -Holstein war Denmark had to
surrender SchlesWig-HolSte1n TO the
Austro- -Prussian combination, and the
Boer war was won by England. Now,
turning to the hyphenated wars you'll
find that the power ahead of the hy-
phen is invariably the loser. The Aus
tro-Prussian war was won by the Prus-
SLAMS at the battle Of Sadowa; the
Franco Prussian war ended at Sedan
by the defeat of the French; the Chino
Japanese war found the Japs ahead at
it's close; the Greco-Turkish war went
to the Turks, and the Spanish Amer
lean war to the Americans. Is there
anything significant in the fact that
every one Is referring to the present
war as the Russo-Japanese war;
