- =,

Chicago, Aug. both the packers
and the strikers spent Sunday in
Strengthening any weak spots that
could be found in their defenses pre-
paratory to another week of effort to
bring their opponents to terms. Not
withstanding that it was Sunday, all
the plants were operated during the
forenoon in order to get rid of the
livestock that had been left over from
last week. The remainder of the day
was spent by the employers in Install
ing new men in the strikers places
and arranging many of the small de-
tails which had been overlooked last
week during the heat of the conflict.
Over 1000 new men were added Sun
day to the number already at work in
the different plants. Among Sundays S
arrivals were many skilled laborers,
something the packers have been
sadly in need of ever since the strike
started. The employers have ex-
perienced little difficulty in procuring
all the unskilled men necessary to
their full capacity, but there has been

and for this reason the by-products Of
all animals killed have been let go to
waste. Commencing Monday, three Of
the firms announced that they would
be able to operate these divisions,
enough skilled men having been pro-
cured in the past forty-eight hours to
justify the belief that all the BY
product plants will be in full opera
tion by the end of the week.
The strike leaders spent the greater
part of the day in preparing a state
ment to the public. In this statement
the unionists explain their side of the
controversy, declaring that it is the
packers and not the men who are re-
sponsible for the present state of af-
fairs in the packing industry. The
public is asked to be patient with the
men during the struggle for su-
premacy, it being declared by the
union leaders that it would impossible
for the men to return to work under
the conditions which existed before
the strike was called and that up to
the present the packers have shown
no disposition to treat the strikers in
a fair manner. According to this
statement the men will stay on strike
until their unions are disrupted or un-
til the packers surrender.

Fall River Cotton Mills Still Tied Up
by Strike.
Fall River, Mass, July 30.-The
close of the first week of the cotton
mill strike, involving some $4,000 op-
eratives and eighty-one mills, finds
the situation without a change since
the strike order went into effect Each
side to the controversy remains firm,
the manufacturers holding to their
position that the mills will be oper.
ated only on condition that the 12k
per cent reduction be accepted and the
operatives equally firm that they will
not work under this reduction.
At the mills the situation is one of
absolute quiet and there are no indica-
tions that there will be attempts to re-
sumo operations in the immediate fu-
ture.
It is estimated by the strike leaders
that it will cost $40, 900 a week to con.
tinue the strike, but they are con-
vinced that this amount will be forth
coming.

He was the power behind the throne

those of any other living man. Won
Plehve had been blamed for forcing

Finn, but whose name is unknown,
has been arrested. He had in his pos
session a bomb which he tried to
throw, but he was overpowered by the
police just in time to prevent great
loss of life.
The assassin wore brown OVercOat
and a railroad officials cap. He stood
On the sidewalk just as Minister Won
Plehve's carriage was about to cross
the canal bridge near the station. The
minister was escorted by number of
detectives on bicycles, and one of
them jostled the assassin, who then
rushed into the road and threw the
bomb after the carriage. The missile
struck the hind wheel and exploded
with fearful force, killing or wound
ing over score of persons. Minister
Won Plehve and his coachman were
killed outright and an officer of the
guard was fatally injured.
Wounded Assassin Arrested.

the face, arm and abdomen. He made
no attempt at resistance, however,

plosion arrested suspicious individ-
0al who took refuge in a hotel oppo-
bats the scene of the tragedy. He
carried 4 bomb similar to that thrown
by Leglo. AS soon as the police saw
ahe bomb they scattered, but an en-
ploye of the hotel rushed up behind
the accomplice and pinned his arms.
The explosive is believed to have
been composed of pyroxylin, as it
gave of little smoke. The force OF
the explosion was so terrific that it
not only broke every window within a
radius Of half mile, but reduced the
heavy paving stones to powder, heaved
up the pavement and flung a heavy
piece of the iron work of the carriage
across the canal, severing the thick
mast OF barge, which fell, stunning
the captain OF the barge. Everybody
IN the street was knocked down and
more or less bruised.
Minister Of Justice Muravieff went
