NEITHER TO YIELD.
e Is a Finish Fight Between Pack
ers and Union Labor.
Probable That Every Labor Organic
xation Affiliated with the Pack
ers' Employees VIII Go Out
fn Sympathy.

Chicago, July 25.-Determined on a
light to finish to enforce the demands
of the striking butchers, a sympathetic
strike of all the union workmen en-
ployed in the meat-packing industry
throughout the country, with the ex-
ception Of the teamsters, was inaagu-
rated Monday morning at seven
o'clock. The indications are that the
teamsters will join the other unions
on Tuesday in order to bring the pack
ers to terms. The teamsters employed
in the Chicago plants Sunday declared
in favor of the sympathetic strike, but
their decision has not been ratified as
vet by the Joint council Of the team
sters' unions. The general belief 1s
that the decision Of the teamsters to
join in the strike will be Endorsed
by the council
Chief of Police O'Neil, who spent the
day making plans, said: mo one
knows what will happen. The oppor-
tunity is here for one of the greatest
labor contests in the country and ap-
parently there is no hope for averting
It, The police will be able to handle
the situation, however, without out
side assistance, no matter what hap
pens"
Settlement of the strike may be in
sisted upon by Mayor Carter H. Har-
rison if developments show that the
public interest absolutely demands it.
In the meantime arbitration through
the good Office of the mayor is rem
edy open to the opposing sides on re-
quest from either. Such was the posi-
ton outlined by the mayor, who was
called back to Chicago from Marquette,
Mich, on account of the renewal Of the
strike. Mr.. Harrison deplored the con-
tinuation of the strike, but said that
Just at present he did not see his way
clear toward doing anything of his
own volition towards the adjustment
u the trouble.

BIG FIGHT IN OLD ULSTER.
vent Judge Parker Carrying His
Home County.

Esopus, N. Y, July 25.-It is the
purpose of republicans of Ulster scoun-
by, living in Kingston, Esopus and sur
rounding villages to make Judge Par
ker's home county one of the princi-
pal fighting grounds in the New York
state campaign. To offset the effect of
having an Ulster county democrat at
the head of the national democratic
ticket, the New York republican lead
ers will be asked to look kindly on the
plan to name Judge A. T. Clearwater,
of Kingston, as the republican candi-
date to succeed Judge Martin on the
court Of appeals. Judge Martin will
retire under the age limit and his sue
cessor will be named this fall. Judge
Clearwater enjoys great local popu-
farity and the republicans of Kings
ton and vicinity argue that if the coun-
ty is to be kept from the democratic
column it must be accomplished by
placing on the ticket the name of an
Ulster county man.

. Name That Brings
the Puff.

Justice Brewer Is from Kansas, and his
state is justi6ably proud of him, says the
Kansas City Journal. Soon after his ele-
vation TO the supreme bench a cigar manu-
facturer in Topeka dedicated a ten-cent
domestic cigar to the jurist, named it
'"Our Justice" and on the cover of each
box pasted portrait of Mr.. Brewer.
A few years ago the justice was IN To-
peka on a business trip. The hotel clerk
recognized him, and the negro bell boy, al
though he had no idea VINO the newcomer
was, knew from the way he was ordered
about that the patron was OF some conse-
quence. Going up In the elevator the negro
stared constantly ar the tall, dignifed man.
Suddenly the black face was wreathed
in smiles and the boy said:
''Scuse me, boss, but amt you de GEM
men dat invented dem 'Ouah Jestice' CT
gars?"
This reminds one of the man who was
recalling famous persons who parted their
names IN the middle"
And then he said. there. is e Pluri-
bus Unum,' the man that makes the bass
