Lust Years Aggregate Already Ex
ceeded Chicago Movement Is
Particularly Active.

Washington, Aug. 20.-''The ship
ment of currency for moving the crops
has begun rather vigorously" said
Treasurer Roberts. I'VE have already
sent tliis week to New Orleans, against
deposits i'll New York, $521. 900, and
to Chicago $1,NO,00O.
by comparison with last year 1t
will be seen that the New Orleans
movement is about the same and that
the Chicago movement is much more
active. The total payments in Chi
cago last year from January to Sept
/, against deposits in New York, were
$1,20O,O0O.
I'VE have already sent. including
this weeks movement, $1,SOO,OOO, and
1t is possible that more will go between
now and Aug. 81. There has been a
total to New Orleans since Jan. OF
S4,O11 600. The amount last year for
the period up to the close of August
was S4,110.OOO,"

Washington. Aug 29.-Japan has ad-
dressed note to the powers inform
ing them that unless Russia forthwith
disarms her warships In Shanghai Ja-
pan will be forced to take whatever
steps she deems necessary to protect
her interests. Minister Takahira gave
out the following statement:
"While Japan sincerely hopes that
the reported intention Of Russia to
disarm the Askold and Grozovoi mt
Shanghai will promptly be executed,
my government has felt that 1t was ad-
visable to inform the powers what
must necessarily be Its attitude in the
event that the disarmament of the
Russian ships is delayed.
1.-THE conditions at Shanghai are pc.
culiar because of the international in
terests there. and my government is
DESTROYS of giving these interests ey.
cry consideration"
The dispatch from London would
seem to settle the matter, and Japan
will not be forced to take any steps
that might raise trouble.

They Will Not Confer for . settlement"
Of tho Strike. So They Declare.
The packers say they will not con-
fer with the strike leaders in the mat
ter of the strike; that they are work
Ing up to nearly full normal capacity,
and can get along with the men they
have; that those who are doing tue
work heretofore done by the skilled"
strikers are rapidly becoming us skilled
as the strikers We're, and that in no
event will they recognize" the union
again. This recognition" is said to
be oil the strikers want now. The
report is that Donnelly will concede
everything else IL he can only get the
union recognized.
A meeting Of the executive council
Of the butchers union was held last
night. 1t was ut first intended to hold
the meeting today, bu. the local labor
leaders were advised TINT all members
Of the council would be in the city by
yesterday afternoon, and 1t was de-
cided to hold the meeting at as early
an hour as possible. 1t is denied
strenuously by all officials of the To-
cal unions that the strike will be called
on. Alderman Carey, in whose ward
lnrge part of the stock yards is To-
Gated, tried to arrange meeting be-
tween the strikers and the packers,
but failed. He was informed by the
packers that they had no intention of
holding conferences with the strikers
at any time.
The alderman, after leaving thepack-
ers, said that in his opinion the Off
cials of the butchers union could do
nothing but call the strike of. The
packers have made statement in
which they say: while we shall not
recognize the union, there will be no
discrimination made against the men,
who must return to their posts us III
diyiduals," said n prominent represent
alive of the packers in summing up
the situation. Those non-union men
now at work who have taken the
places of skilled men who quit us will
be retained. l should say that it would
be to our advantage to take back many
OF tne men WHO ufe OIL Strlke. LaDOf
leaders must not jump at the conclu-
sion that this means we cannot do
without many of our old hands. for
the truth is we are doing quite well
without them"
1t is reported that the transfers arc
on the eve of surrender. international
President Shea. of the Transfers or
ganization, has ordered meeting Of
the packing house transfers to "vote
on conditions" This means that they
will vote on the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
turning to work, inasmuch as the fight
Is hopeless one. There are 600 pack
ing house Transfers on strike. They
have lost 100000 in wages during the
strike.
