BIG STRIKE
IS AGAIN ON
Because All Strikers Were Not Taker
Back at once, New Strike is
Again Called.
WORKING WITH NoN-UNloN MEN
All Allied Trades But Teamsters and
Engineers Join Sympathetic Strike
Yards Tied Up.

Chicago, July 25.-With all peace
negotiations broken off and with all
the allied trades unions employed at
the different plants with the exception
OF the teamsters and the stationary
engineers out on strike in sympathy
with the butcher workmen, who quit
work two weeks ago, the stock yards
strike tonight had settled down to
what promises 10 be one of the bit
terest fights between capital and labor
in the history Of America.
AS has been threatened for some
time, the allied trades, employed in
the packing industry. quit work when
called on today to assist the striking
butchers in their efforts to bring the
packers to terms. In several instan.
ces the men did not wait for the Off
cial notification from their leaders to
go on strike, but threw down their
tools and quit work of their own voli.
ton.
At o'clock tonight the statement
was made by NJ. ]. Donnelly, presi.
dent of the Butchers union. that ev-
cry union man employed at the stock
yards, with the exception of the team
sters and engineers, mad responded
to orders for a general sympathetic
strike. The engineers, he declared,
would join the strikers tomorrow
morning and unless there was a very
speedy settlement of the difficulty, he
said. the teamsters would undoubted-
ly join their brother workmen in their
struggle for supremacy.
According to Mr.. Donnelly, today S
strike swelled the number of men who
have quit work at the stock yards In
Chicago alone to nearly 10000 per-
sons. Both sides to the controversy
declared tonight that they were per-
fectly satisfied with the present state
of affairs and that they were willing
to make it a fight to a finish to de-
termine who shall dictate the terms of
settlement.
According to the packers the strike
today was a general failure, 1t being
claimed by them that not over one
half the members of the allied trades
quit work when officially called out by
their leaders this morning.
The further statement was made by
the packers that should all the un'
ion men decide to join the strikers
1t would make little difference to the
employers as they had sufficient re,
sources to contest the gornud for an
indefinite period. On the other hand
the leaders of the laborers assert that
all the employees at the packing plants
together with several hundred EN-
ployes of the Union Stock Yards com
pany. quit work today in response to
the general order for a sympathetic
strike.

the strong summer sun will not reach
too searchingly.
1t viii repay you to repot at this time
those ablebodied ANNALS you rely on to
shift from place to place and from
which hardy cuttings are obtained.
These shoots must be planted in three
inch pots before it is time to place them
out of doors. Rose trees that bloom in
June are planted in May. usually in
beds four feet wide and twelve inches
apart each way. The varieties Of roses
are almost endless, but unless one has
had experience in growing them it is
best to plant only the hardy kinds.
It is more satisfactory to lovers of
flowers to raise their own plants, no
matter how able they may be to pur-
chase them. And concerning the buy
ing of plants for the spring garden
there are a few hints which may not
be ignored by the novice in gardening.
The florist for commercial reasons
forces his flowers into bloom for the
market, as purchasers generally are at
tracted to the large lowering plants.
The vitality is then often all out of the
plant, and it never blooms again and
perhaps dies after a fitful existence. 1t
is better to buy young plants not more
than six inches high which will bloom
in prOfusion the entire summer. On the
themselves are the safest and best.
In many small gardens a hedge is a
necessity to shut off the back yard, and
in larger ones it adds a dignity and a
sense of immensely. A fir hedge is
beautiful with its lower branches clip
ped slightly back. tapering to slant at
the summit. The effect Is particularly
pleasing when here and there honey
suckle is run among the FIR.
