OF Employees Of Packing
Houses,
LARGE INCOME FOR RELIEF
Events Since Saturday Tend to Make
Struggle More Protracted
One.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-Developments in
the stock yards strike yesterday all
tended toward making the struggle
protracted and determined. Financial
aid was promised to the strikers
through the action of the federation
of labor and other organizations. On
the side of the packers it was reported
that they had instructed the heads of
branch houses to get back the city
trade at any cost.
Every labor organization in Chicago
will be asked to assist the striking
butcher workmen as the result of the
action of the Chicago Federation of
Labor in the afternoon. This assist
ance will be both moral and finan-
cial,' according to the resolution adopt
ed. The federation expects to receive
81, 700 a week.
Two Unions to Contribute.
Two unions-those of the street car
men and of the ENTHUSIASTICALLY have
voted money contributions to the
butchers. The street car men will give
81 week for each member and the
painters each will contribute one days
pay. The painters fund is expected
to be at least $4,000. and the live
stock handlers have offered $1,000
weekly if it is needed.
VIII ReInstate Few.
Chicago, Aug. S.-The determine
ton of the packers to restablish their
business on a normal footing without
overtures to or recognition of the
union was given emphasis by placards
which were posted yesterday in the
Nelson Morris & Co. workrooms and
along the new loading docks. The

Chicago, Aug S-War between the
National ClothierS' association and the
United Garment Workers on the issue
of the open" shop threatens to in
volve Chicago's second greatest indus
try-that of Wholesale garment-mak-
ing-in a labor dispute which already
has had Rochester. y. Y, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and New York as cen
tiers of hostility.
The attitude of the leaders of the
union indicated yesterday that it was
altogether likely a strike would be de
clared because of the action taken Sat
urday by Is manufacturers, all mem
bers of the association, annOuncing
that in the future the labor employed
in their establishments would not be
limited exclusively to bearers of the
union card.
The workmen directly involved in
the difficulty are the 1920 cutters.
trimmers, bushelmen and examiners
employed in the shops where the no
tees were posted Saturday. Instead
of going to work this morning they
reported at the union headquarters for
a consultation. which probably will re-
suit in Il vote to strike. If such is the
case 10000 tailors half of whom are
women. will be directly affected
through lack of materials.

Not the least attractive of these are a
number of essays on the different
American poets to which have been
attached portraits of the poets. The
work is decidedly creditable.
The Minnesota State Art society has
an exhibit in the -Moman's building
which interests not only because Of the
merit of the sketches a nd paintings dis
played, but because it IS a promise Of
much greater effort In sthe future. A
fair-sized space has been partitioned
off at one end of the building and the
walls of this have been hung with dark
green burlap, which makes a most sat
isfactory background for the art dis
play. One wall is devoted entirely 10
specimens of the work of the pupils in
the ST Paul School of Fine Arts and
the other is devoted to an exhibit of the
Minneapolis School of Fine Arts. These
school exhibits inchade sketches sin
black and white, water Solors and work
in oils and convey an excellent idea of
the work that is being done in the two
schools. 81
Artists Also Contribute
Besides the school exhibits, a num-
Der of Minnesota artists have sent in
their work, which is displayed on the
remaining two walls. In a small case
in this room are exhibited some book
cover designs, pieces of old and beau
tifulIy designed jewelry, and a number
of valuable curios. Miss Higbee is in
charge and it is proof of the success
of this new feature of the. woman
building that she is constantly sur
rounded by visitors anxious to learn
something Of the scope and the pur-
pose of the Minnesota State Art so

CROWD IS HANDLED
IN IMPROVED WAY
New Hospital Attracts Big
Crowds and Many Visit
she Pike

1t is the Improvement in transporta
tion facilities that first attracts the
visitor at the forty-first Minnesota
state agricultural fair. The new main
gate is located at about the center of
the grounds.
The street car tracks that formerly
lay parallel with the grounds now
curve inward in the form of an in
verted q, block in length The upper
end of the U is the main gate. which is
opposite the grand stand. This u is
netted with tracks so arranged that a
number of cars can be stalled to take
care of the crowds that are always
largest at 6 o'clock in the evening and
later on when the programme at the
grand stand is over for the night.
Because of the new arrangement the
street car company is able to reserve
a hundred or more cars to take care
of the crowds and there is no jostling
and crush in boarding the trains, as
there was under the old arrangement.
The old main entrance, at Smelling and
Langford avenue, was used largely for
carriages yesterday. A number of peo-
pie will know nothing of the new en-
getting off at the old gate, but con-
ductors explained about the new en-
trance and the majority of visitors
stayed on the cars until this was
reached.
Many Visit Hospital
The new hospital received many Wis
itors yesterday, who went there not be-
cause they needed assistance, but be-
cause the building was new and looked
inviting with a bevy of white-aproned
and white capped nurses fitting in and
out.
The new building is a two story
frame structure. There are two private
rooms on the second floor and each of
the four rooms on the third floor will
have three or four cots. The Woman's
Medical Society of Minneapolis has
charge of the building. There is an
operating room fitted with every con-
venience on the first floor.
There will be doctor and three
nurses in charge of the hospital each
day. The nurses yesterday were Miss
Lillian Erickson, of the Swedish hos
pital, Minneapolis; Miss Marian Nc
Vean, of Asbury hospital, also of Min
neapolis, and Miss Ethel Beede, stu
dent of the state university medical
department. The hospital was not pre-
pared for patients yesterday morning.
