PACKERS HAVE NO RIGHT
TO HOUSE EMPLOYEES

Chicago, Aug. 2o.-Corporation
Counsel Tolman has given to Mayor
Harrison an opinion declaring the
packers at the stockyards have no le-
gal right to house men i'll their pack
ing houses.
The opinion was given in response
to a request from the mayor, who was
informed by the Chicago Federation OF
Labor that the packers were boarding
the men contrary to law. The opinion
of Corporation Counsel Tolman de-
sclares that the packers are not violat-
ing any provisions of the ordinance
regulating lodging houses, Tor the rea-
son that they are not letting lodgings
for hire. The opinion does hold, how
ever, that the regulations calling for
fire escapes and exits in the buildings
where large numbers of people ar.
housed have not been complied with,
and suggests that packers be given a
period OF three days TO commence al
teratioiis in their buildings and 10 find
new quarters for the men. The mayor
after receiving the opinion sent it to
Chief Of Police O'Neill, with instruc-
tions to see that the packers obeyed
the law.

The VOTES OF
HE CATHOLICS
THE DEMOCRATS FEAR THEY
WILL VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT
The Action Of President Roosevelt
Ia Treating the Catholics Fairly in

Their Favor.

olc vote be cast for Roosevelt ( This
question is worryipg the democratic
management.

Iect is given careful, dA[. q, deliber-
ate consideration. W.

How will they vote? The managers
sof the democratic national committee are
in the air8on the question. They would
like to know the facts.
Rumor has come to them that the
Catholic vote will be for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks. The why and wherefore
are not explained. 81 Il
tits admitted BIZ republicans and dem
ocrats alike that the Catholic vote is
normally democratic. Why should it at
this time be cast in favor of the repub-
lican nominee?
Reason for this alleged change of pol
itical sentiment on the part of the Cath
olic clergy and laity is said to be due to
a very simple act on tile part of Presi-
dent Roosevelt
He stood for the Catholic Church in
the Philippines. Il is argued by the
I Catholic clergy that President Roosevelt
could have done the church an inmeas-
urable amount Of harm in the Philip
pines, had he wished to have done so,
but instead Of driving the friars out OF
the archipelago and substituting irres-
ponsible and xperienced teachers, he
allowed the Catholic institutions to re-
main intact, and rendered them all the
aid and assistance it was possible to
give.

REGULARS
vs.. MILITIA
CLASH BETWEEN THE TWO

Shots Exchanged and One Killed.

Athens, o., Aug. 2o.--The regular
army soldiers, said to be members of

was killed and three wounded, the latter
all being national guardsfnen. The reg
ulars escaped without any casualties as
far as known. The guardsman who
was killed was Corporal Charles Clark,
whose home isF at Warren, where the
fused pistols, scattered for the camp and
none of them have been apprehended.
Fifteen minutes after the shooting
General Dick, iii command of the ma
tional guardsmen, and the regular camp
officers had declared the town under
martial law and hundreds of regulars
were rushed into the city and are now
patrolling the streets to prevent further
| trouble. ...-..
As gathered from soldiers in camp,
it seems that nearly all the provost
| guards, sent to the town to gather III
the soldiers who had oyerstayed their
leaves, have been national guardsmerl
and the regulars became possessed of
, the idea that the provosts Disseminated
against the regulars in favor of the
guardsmen, arresting the former and all
lowing the latter to go free, when the
ln1iscreants were in such numbers that
| the choice arose of arresting one or the
other.
The regulars assembled in Athens
! and the provost came on a number of
them in front of the shcriff's residence
near the courthouse. The regulars were
halted and showed fight. The provost
guard dubbed their rifles, when the reg
ulars commenced to shoot. They re-
turned the fire and more than 100 shots
were fired Tie battle ended when the
regulars scampercd for camp after the
killing. No further trouble is antiei-
patcd as only the regulars are now pa
| trolling the streets.
