STRIKE
is ON AT CHICAGO
Industry Is Renewed-Allied Trades Go
Out in Sympathy with Butchers.

Chicago, July 23.-The stockyards
strike is on again. On the charge that
the packers were discriminating against
certain persons in the unemployment
process the union officials Friday or
lered their men to quit work, and the
situation at the yards is as bad as ever.
The strike was renewed in other pack
ing centers also
President Donnelly, after comforting
with other leaders, gave the order for
the strike and then sent this telegram
to union officials in other packing CEN
tiers of the country: Packers already
have violated agreement by discrimina-
ton. Order men out"
When the word that another strike
was ordered reached the workmen who
had gone to the different departments to
begin their labor, they finished the
work Immediately in hand and then
marched in bodies out of the yards, TAX
ing their tools with them.
Places for Only Half.
When the men reported for work in a
body early in the morning they were
met by the announcement that it would
be impossible at present to take back
more than half the force. The workers
met this announcement sullenly, not
withstanding the clause in the agree
ment which gave the packers As days in
which to supply work for all the strik-
ers. The strikers said: you must take
us all back or none of us will go to
work."
Many of them did go to work, how
ever, but little later the leaders ap-
peared, and on discovering that some of
the men who were turned away had been
prominent figures in the strike they de-
clared that the packers were employing
a "revengeful discrimination" and the
strike was declared to be on once more.
Many Men Out.
Chicago, July 26.-While there were
many signs of activity in the meat
packing industry yesterday the union
labor leaders declared the sympathetic
strike of the mechanical trades, added
to the strike of the butcher workmen,
had tied up the big plants. Workmen
in the mechanical departments began
their fight on the establishments when
the whistles blew in the morning.
They continued it until the closing
hour at evening, when the 4SO station
airy firemen quit. BY the estimates of
the labor men, more than $500 en-
ployes had Joined in the sympathetic
strike by night. The packers said that
not more than 1000 men were involved
in this newest phase of the struggle.
Transfers Stay at Work.
The transfers obeyed the mandates
of their central body and remained at
work. The strongest men in the or
ganiZation, while protesting against
the calling of a sympathet strike, adj
mitted their fear that the drivers
would leave their wagons on their own

When James B. Gilmore, the Bard of
the Alamo" wrote his last novel, TWEEN
ty-flye Years in Jackville," the asper-
sions he cast upon that Indiana COM
munity aroused the resentment Of its
citizens. The other morning Gilmore
visited the town to sell his books, and
the people gave him rousins welcome
at the expense Of all the sitting hens IN
the neighborhood.
As the "bard" stepped from the post
Office he was greeted by fusillade of,
odorous eggs. Volley after volley was
directed against him. His nose was
broken by duck egg hurled from q dis

ing mob. The horse and vehicle were
battered and besmeared a. the bard,
flashing the animal into a run, escaped.
He was we'll enough in the afternoon
to wash his buggy and declare, when
questioned:

those Jackvilleites weren't up to pure
literature yet. Now l know it."
