the strige today and there is no hope
tonight OF an immediate settlement.
realizing they have one of the hardest
propositions 10 contend with in the
history of the packing industry the
packers are leaving nothing undone
to gain the upper hand in the struggle
with their thirty thousand union en-
ployes. All day long workmen from
ouside points were rushed to Chica-
20 and taken to the stock yards I'M
der police protection. Tonight 1t was
announced by the packers that seven
thousand new men are now installed
In the different plants. With these
and new arrivals expected each day
the packers expect to get their al
fairs in such shape that the strikers
will be compelled to seek a peaceablc
settlement at the dictation of the EN-
ployers. With all the union workmen
out excepting the teamsters, the only
additions to the ranks of the strikers
were about one hundred teamsters
who quit work as individuals, prefer
ring to do this rather than wait for
the official order to walk out, and the
Mattresses in the restaurants at the
stock yards controlled by the packing
companies.
When questioned regarding the sit.
uation tonight, President Donnelly
said:
Il have no hope of an immediate
settlement The fight is on and the
only thing we can do now is to stick
to the end"
The union recalled the ultimatum
issued yesterday prohibiting unionists
employed in Independent plants from
killing live stock purchased in the
stock yards, where animals are being |
handled by non-union men.
Labor leaders took this step after |
the independent packers had pointed |
out to them that If such an order was
carried out it would be a benefit to
the big packers.
Lines of yigilant policemen guarded
the entrances to the stock yards all
day and night, but despite this pre-
caution disturbances we're numerous
and two of them ended with fatal re
suits. While an attack was being
made on some colored strike breakers

tonight, John Stokes, of the strikers
was shot and fatally wounded by one
of the negroes. Stokes, together with
fully one hundred companions. II is
said, rushed on the negroes and one
of the latter drew revolver and fired

police succeeded in scattering the
rioters after considerable difficulty.

and killed. The rioters escaped and

SILENCE EXPLAINED
JUDGE PARKER THOUGHT HIS PO-
sTTION KNOWN.
Dignity Of Bench Prevented Pnblie Ut
terance--Fene Of Charge Of Trick
cry u aG ed Telegram ~
42sss t He, sent.

Esopus, N. Y, July IAN explana-
tory statement of the long silence of
Judge Parker was given by a close per-
sonal friend of the Judge this after
noon to the Associated Press.
AS a Judge. said the authority, Judge
Parker had kept silent in political
questions. He believed that It was not
compatible with the dignity of Judge
on the bench to discuss such questions.
When he was prominently mentioned
as candidate for the Presidency Judge
Parker thought that the country knew
his full views. He realized that the
Democratic party would be composed
of two elements when the National
Convention Observation-Disclosures and
conservatives.
He knew that he was regarded as the
candidate of the conservatives and be-
came convinced that 1t was not nee
essary for him to make any statement
OF his views. Judge Parker had voted
for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900 and he
had done so not because Of but In spite
of the silver plank. He did not think
that any one had any doubt as to where
he stood and hoped to maintain his ST.
lence through the campaign prelimi-
nary to the convention.
Judge Parker had no intimation of
the subject matter of the platform I'M
til after he had been notified by the
Associated Press of his nomination.
said the authority. When he had
gone for his horseback ride he realized
that II he allowed the convention to
adjourn without knowing his financial
views. the people would regard as true
Mr.. Bryan's statement that the Judge
was trucking the convention and the
party.
He was not willing to profit by the
nomination and thus be regarded as
being guilty OF trickery. It was then,
said the informant, that Judge Barker
decided to send a telegram to the con-
vention. He returned from his ride
and without consulting any one wrote
the telegram to Mr.. Sheehan which
was filed at II a. m. on Saturday.
william f. Sheehan arrived at ESQ
pus from St. Louis this afternoon.
After meeting Judge Parker Mr..
Sheehan made this statement to the
Associated Press:
Il am authorized to say that no tele-
gram was sent by Judge Parker to
Senator Hill on any subject while the
latter was in St. Louis"
This afternoon in reply to his tele-
gram of congratulation to former Sem
ator Henry G. Davis. the nominee for
Vice President, Judge Parker received
the following:
"Elkins, w. Va, July IL.
Delayed in reaching home. Thanks
for your telegram. Most cordial con-
gratulations TO you and the country on
your nomination. feel proud and
highly honored to be associated with

CLARK HOWELL TALKS.
Taggart VIII BE Chairman II Suitable
to Parker.

Atlanta, July 11.-clarlS Howell. Ma
tional Democratic Committeeman from
Georgia, spoke this evening of the st.
Louis meeting of the committee after
the adjournment of the convention as
follows:
I'm the matter of the selection of the
chairman of the National Democratic
Committee there should be no room
for apprehension that the choice will
not only be satisfactory to Judge Par
ker, the party's Presidential nominee.
but, more than that, the committee
will be guided in its action by Judge
Parker's expression on the subject.
This Is the first time in many years
perhaps ever--that the chairman of
the National Committee has not been
chosen at the meeting of the commit
tee Immediately after the adjournment
of the National Convention. 1t has
been the uniform custom that the new
committee organize Immediately afte"
the adjournment of the convention for
the choice of a chairman. who has
always been named in accordance with
the desire of the Presidential nominee.
Until the ST. Louis Convention ad-
journed 1t was assumed that Hon.
Thomas T. Taggart of Indiana was tina
choice of Judge Parker and the fact
that majority of the Executive Com
mittee favored him grew out of that
current understanding.
"If it should develop that Judge
Parker does not wish Mr.. Taggart, but
prefers some one else, 1t goes without
saying, that the committee will be
guided accordingly at the meeting to
be held at later date In New York.
If Judge Parker prefers another to Mr..
Taggart the latter will promptly
withdraw his name from the consider
alton of the committee; but this Will
not be done unless Judge Parker, as
the party's Presidential nominee, states
that he has in view some one else who
would be more satisfactory to him than
Mr.. Taggart who. with the under
standing that his selection would meet
the approval of Judge Parker, Is the
choice of a majority of the National
Committee.
mr.. Taggart had charge of Judge
Parker's campaign in Indiana and 1t
was partly through his efforts that that
pivotal State was among the first to
instruct. He has been in close touch
with the Parker movement, and no
States action contributed more to shap-
ing the verdict of the convention than
did that of Indiana. Hence, Indiana 5
presentation of Taggarts name was
presumably in full accord with the
precedent of having the nominees full
approval of the chairman chosen.

When Judge Parker went to bed at
9:45 Friday night" said this man, he
did not know anything at all about
the financial side of the platform
which had then been agreed upon more
than was outlined In the very brief
bulletins telephoned from Kingston.
When informed by the Associated Press
correspondent at $50 a. m. Of the bare
fact of his nomination. he knew no
more. apd the first real knowledge he
had of the action. Of the convention on
the financial plank in the platform,
was when he read the New York morn
ing papers. Immediately after break
fast. that is to say, little after 9
o'clock he started for a horseback ride.
Just before mounting his horse a tele-
gram was handed him. giving a con-
else outline of the platform. From
the moment OF his reading that tele-
gram it was noticed that he was very
much preoccupied and as he rode Off
his head was bowed as II in deep
thought.

tion.
He waited about the station. almost
irresolute in bearing. for fully ten min

toward Rosemont. An hour afterward
his famous telegram was filed with the
operator and the remarkable series OF
events was under way.

That night. while the convention
tossed and beloved with the sensation
he had produced he did not &c early to
bed as he had done the night before,
although the local celebration in his
honor ceased and the people dispersed
as early as 1918 p. m. He sat up I'M
til 8 a. m. closely watching the bulle-
tins. and made no move toward retir-

vention upon his telegram was plain to
