be involved in the strike, should 1t be
prolonged much longer, resulted TO-
night in the appointment OF commit
tee com posed OF those who attended TO-
days meeting, to negotiate with the
packers tomorrow morning in an at
tempt to bring about joint meeting
between the employers and the striking
unions. II was the sentiment of all
who attended today's conference that
should the meeting be arranged be-
tween the two opposing interests, q
settlement satisfactory to both sides
could be realized.
Meantime, Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent OF the American Federation Of
Labor, has been summoned from New
York to see II he cannot accomplish
something through mediation. Mr.
Gompers will arrive here Sunday morn
ing.
The packers tonight declined to
make any comment ON what, If any
success might be expected from the
meeting.
"We cannot very well discuss this
matter now" said one of the packers
representatives tonight. "We now
have our affairs in better condition
than at any time since the strike was
declared, and as for myself, am I'M
able to see ON what grounds we could
meet the strikers"
Under the direction of Mayor Har-
rison, who was urged to take the step
by a committee composed OF labor
leaders and several aldermen, an inves-
tigation into the sanitary conditions Of
the various packing plants where strike
breakers are being housed YVES begun
today. Several of the plants were
visited, but no fragrant violations Of
the law were found. The investiga-
tions will be continued.
Tonight the packers sent COM
munication to Mayor Harrison, deny
ing that they are keeping lodging
houses not in compliance with the or
dinances.

ARMY is AWAY.
The Russians are Refreafinq North
of Lao Yang.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 12.-Again the
chance of a decisive battle between
General Kuropatkin and the command
er OF the Japanese army seems to be
disappearing. According to a state
ment issued by the general staff to-
night, rains are again falling over a
wide area OF Manchuiia with the pros
pect of impeding operations, but even
more important is the information
reaching the Associated Press tonight
from an exceptional source that the
Japanese have once more delayed too
long. General Kuropatkin has now
withdrawn the bulk of his army safely
north of Lao Yang
According to this information. the
Japanese have about 100000 men in
the armies operating against Kuropat-
kin, rendering it too hazardous for him
to risk a general engagement. The CEN
eral staff has no information bearing ON
the reported presence of large force of
Japanese at Paithuhi, place that can
not be located on available maps. The
report agrees, however, with the gen.
eral tenor of the information received
by the Associated Press and here given
that General Kuropatkin is already re-
treating north of Lao Yang.
The advantages of the new Japanese
base at Niu Chwang in greatly simpli.
Tying the problem of provisioning their
army is fully fealized Tho .
that they are moving up towards Sim.
intin, short distance west of Mukden
from Niu Cwang is generally believed.
Inc appearance of the Japanese on
the other side Of Mukden would almost
pocket General Kuropatkin and he re-.
solved to accept battle with his whole
army at Lao Yang.

will seek TO turn the Russian position

UTILITY NOT BEAUTY
Seedless Apples on Blossomlsss Trees arc FIX
hibited at Worlds Fair.

Sharing honors with the wireless tele.
graph, smokeless coal and miceobeless
water athe Worlds Fair is an exhibit of
seedless apples. California contributed
some seedless oranges and Florida seed
less pear, but it remained for Colorado
to produce the apple without core.
Not only has this tree an absence of
seed, but the tree upon which it is grown
is blossomless. Mr.. John F. Spencer of
Grand Junction is father of the species
and he says that the seedless apple is al
so immune from the ravages of insects.
Hoiticulturists who visit the Worlds
Fair are greatly interested in the exhib.
it, as the culture of the fruit is regarded
as an important discovery. Mr.. Spencer
is now experimenting with the various
variety Of apples and he believes that he
can develop seedless Winesap, seed.
less Gano and other favorite species. II
he is successful it is likely that other
fruit growers will follow his excmple.
1t is claimed that the seedless apple is
not hurt by the frost because it has no
blossoms. 1t is hardy grower and
thrives abundantly in the Colorado eli.
mate. These advantages in its behalf
recommend it to all orchardists.
The Spencer display is made in the
Colorado exhibit in the Palace of Horti-
culture. Several bushels of the fruit are
in cold storage and the supply is con-
stantly kept fresh.
