NEGOTIATING A BASIS
Packers at Chicago and Their
Employees Swap Arbitration
Propositions.
TWO SCHEMES ARE REJECTED
Strikers Attack Policemen and Riot
er Stops a Bullet-Violence Is
Frequent.

Chicago, July 15.1The strike which
has demorilized the packing industry
throughout the country has not been
settled, but here are hopes that it will
soon end by the adjustment of the diff
ficulties by arbitration. After a confer
ence which lasted all of the afternoon
between representatives of the packers
and the officials of the unions the en-
ployers are waiting for an answer to a
counter proposition which they submit
ted to Michael ]. Donnelly in reply to
statement of the terms upon which he
would DE willing to make a settlement
Donneily says the counter proposition
Of the packers will be rejected.
Two Hitches Are Discovered.
One hitch in the negotiations is over
the reinstatement of the strikers. The
union demands that every man who
went on strike shall be given his old
place before an agreement to arbitrate
will be considered. The packers declare
they will retain the men they have en-
ployed since the strike, and will take
back the old men in the order In which
they apply for their old position.
Another hitch is clause of the strik-
ers' proposition providing that the de-
cision of the arbitrator must not in
clude q reduction Of wages. This the
employers object to. They said the
strikers could present any question
they desired sction upon to the arbi-
trat1on board. but must not put any
limita tions on the boards actions.
Preparations for the Worst.
While the peace negotiations are in
progress additional preparations are be-
ing made by the packers at the yards
for long siege. The packers, hearing
that efforts were being made to induce
the railroad men who are members of
unions to refuse to handle supplies
where the men are on strike, are busy
putting in great stocks of coal to meet
an attempt to stop their supply.
Situation at Other Points.
At Omaha the plants are working
short handedL but employing men ev.
cry day; at Kansas City similar sit
uation obtains, and in a greater de-
gree; at st. Paul about 200 men have
been put at work and both cattle and
hogs are being slaughtered; at Sioux
City. Ia. 400 new men have been
employed.

BRYAN AND THE PLATFORM
He Enumerates the Pia5s<s That He
Thinks Worthy of Approval
Good ms n Whole.


Lincoln. Neb.. July 10 William ].
Bryan has made public statement
relating TO the Democratic platform
adopted at st. Louis. He says that
The plank on Imperialism is positive,
strong and satisfactory to the entire
party, and this question becomes the
paramount issue of the campaign. The
tariff plank is good, but it was made
so on a close vote in the committee
and largely against the opposition of
Mr.. Parkers adherents. The
antitrust PLANK is goodone.
The plank is infinitely superior to the
Republican plank, and with presf-
dent who desired to destroy the trusts
would be sufficient plank.
1.-The labor plank is all that could
be desired. On the whole
the platform is good. From a west
ern standpoint. its great defect is that
is makes no mention of the money
question An attempt was made to Sc
cure plank opposing the melting of
the silver dollar, opposing the asset
currency and branch banks. and ex-
pressing a preference for the United
States note Ordinarily known as the
greenback) over the bank note. but
having refused to put in e gold plank
the committee was not willing to have
any phase of the money question al
luded to.
while the motion to reaffirm the
Kansas City platform was voted down.
there was considerable vote in IA
vor of its reaffirmation, and the west
ern members Of the committee togeth-
er with a few from the south, stood
togetherand securedenOugh changes In
the platform to make 1t presentable
document and worthy Of the support Of

and more than 100 wounded, of whom
two-thirds suffered broken limbs and
other serious injuries.
OmcisL IN vestigation Made.
An official Investigation has been
made by Division Superintendent Russ
and Assistant Roadmaster Buchanan,
Of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois,
and this is the story it tells: Extra

er end Engineer Hoxey. was north
bound and consisted of train Of
about fifty cars. Going up an incline
near Chicago Heights the train part
ed, a knuckle or drawbar being out
Of order or defective. This permitted
fifteen coal cars to drop behind while
the engine and forward or head end
Of the train went on. with the crew
unaware of the accident. When 1t was
discovered, it was too late for the en-
CINE to back up as there was a steep
incline.
Where the Blunder Was Committed.
"HOxey pulled his train into Thorn
ton, ILL.,, Eve miles north of Chicago
Heights, where the cars on the head
end should have been set out. Here
| IS where the blunder was committed.
Hoxey had Conductor Cooper with
him and Brakeman Wright. Under
the circumstances as we find them
Cooper must share equally with Hox-
ey the blame Hoxey was on the east
track which is used for north-bound
trains. Here he should have remained,
for his rights under the rules gave
him sole possession of that track clear
to his lost cars, and all trains would
have been forced to wait for him. In
stead Hoxey sent his engine and the
head-end OF the train which he should
have set out at Thornton over onto
the west track. which IL used by the
south-bound trains and started hfz
train back from Thornton to Chica-
20 Heights for his lost cars"

\ HOW THE CARNAGE OCCURRED
After the Pleasure Was Over Pain and
Death Took Charge.

After the Pleasure Was Over Pain and
Death Took Charge.
The carnage occurred in a collision
on the tracks of the Chicago and East
ern Illinois railroad between Chicago
Heights and Glenwood, twenty-five
miles from Chicago. The day was the
annual picnic of the Sunday school, and
as In former years hundreds Of the
children with their parents and friends
had gone to the picnic grounds at Mo-
mence, H., for the day The picnic was
over, and the train was on the return
to Chicago when the accident occurred.
The children in the first coach of the
train were singing as it passed through
Chicago Heights, twenty-seven miles
form Chicago. Two miles further the
train went on and then the singing
was hushed in death for above a score,
and cries of pain and horror for sixty
eight others.
Two accidents combined to make
the disaster The first was the break
ing down Of freight train on the
north-bound track on which the ex-
cursion train should have proceeded
after leaving Chicago Heights, and the
other was the breaking of coupling
ON a second freight train Because the
first train had blocked the rightful
track the excursion train was switched
to the south bound track to run four
miles, until it should have passed the
station of Glenwood. just north of Chi
cago Heights.
AS it tore along the track at the rate
OF forty miles an hour 1t rounded a
sharp curve and came full upon the
second train, which was backing up
ON the south-bound track in order to
take up its lost cars, and rying at the
same time to keep out Of the way Of
the coming picnic train, which 1t be
lieved was on the north-bound track.
There was no time for more than the
setting Of the brakes when with
unslackened speed the train with its
load Of 500 men, women and children
crashed at full speed into the freight.
There was a shock, shrek and over
twenty souls were In eternity.

thrown up against tbc front of their

FRIENDS AWAIT THE TRAIN
Frantic with Anxiety as to the Fate Of

Loved Ones.
1t was nearly 10 O'Clock when the
last of the wounded had been taken
from the wreckage; half and hour
later than that time when the tempo
rary dressing had been applied to the
last wound, and the train carrying it's
woeful burden started for the city.
When news Of the wreck was sent
to the vicinity of the church hundreds
of the relatives and friends of the ex-
cursionists FASTENED to the station
from which the train left in the morn
ing. By 10 p. IN. more than 1000
anxious persons had gathered there,
and their excitement was so great
that many of them were uncontrolla-
BILE. A squad of twenty policemen
was sent to the station to keep order,
but their efforts were practically un-
availing.
The train bearing the uninjured
from the wreck did not enter the city
until after / o'clock, and meanwhile
their frantic relatives were almost In
sane with anxiety and desire Of OBJ
tanning news of them. 1t was nearly
2 o'clock before the bodies of the
dead were brought to the city and an
accurate list Of them obtained.

HAD NO RIGHT ON THAT TRACK
Should Never Have Len Thornton Wis1s-
out Orders. Says the Report

Should Never Have Len Thsrntoa wisls-
out Orders. Says the Report
The statement then proceeds: "Hoxey
should never have left Thornton with
out orders and under no circum-
stances should he have taken the
south-bound track, as he had absO-
lutely no right or authority on that
track. This act made it well-nigh I'm
possible for Conductor Cooper to sig
nal for him to. stop. as the signal
could not be properly given. At Crete,
H., the dispatcher notified the con-
ductor on the north-bound excursion
train OF the broken coal train at Chica-
go Heights, and as the broken train
was on the north-bound track, which was
for trains bound for Chicago, the dis
patcher's order was for the excursion
train to cross over to the west tracks,
used by the trains bound out of Chi
cago.
Engineer Downey, on the excursion
train, obeyed the order and as he did
% his train pulled into the arms of
death as dealt by Engineer Hoxey's
mistake or neglect. Meanwhile Station
Agent Smoot at Glenwood, who is
the operator also and who was not on
duty at the time, heard the message
60 through his ticker for the excur-
sion train to leave the north-bound
track for the south-bound. A minute
later he heard a rumble from the north
and looking up the track he saw Hox-
ey's engine with its broken train Of
coal cars leave the north-bound track
and cross over to the track the ex-
cursion train was ordered on.
THE danger of the passengers on
the picnic train flashed through his
brain instantly and for moment he
was almost paralyzed. Then he shook
on the feeling Of dread, and copying
the message as he heard it ran to the
platform and tried to signal Hoxey's
train. The coal train went past him
at q good clip and only the brake
man seemed to understand that Smoot
was signaling to stop. He gave the
signal to Hoxey and Smoot ran up
screaming to him to back up his en-
CINE. Just then the excursion train
hove In sight and Hoxey reversed hts
engine just Is he reached the curve
south Of Glenwood.
This was too late, however, for En-
gineer Downey to stop the excursion
train, as his view of Hoxey's coal
train was hidden by trees inside the
curve Just as Hoxey's coal train
started to back the engine pulling the
excursion train hit the rear coal car.
That tells the story. What will be
done with Hoxey and Cooper rests
with the coroners jury"
