The Butchers Strike.

The great strike now on among
the employees of the big packing
plants in the various cities is caus-
ing much trouble to the packers and
is rendering the supply of meat very
uncertain.
In the start the strikers were
orderly and quiet but are becoming
somewhat turbulent at times and
several roits have occurred in which
a number of men have been killeo
and wounded. The leaders of the
organizations have counseled the
men to refrain from violence, but
where there are so many idle men
with grievance, either fancied or
real, there are sure 10 be some who
think the proper thing is to fill up
on poor whiskey and cause trouble.
Early in the strike efforts were made
to settle the differences but they
were unaviling and the strike goes
on.
The packing houses are filling W,
with non-union men and business
is being carried on generally with
small crews of mostly inexperienced
men.
+ The strike is very unfortunate.
The greatest loss necessarily falls on
the laborlng community that car
least afford it.
The wealthy packer can afford to
shut down his plant if necessary fol
an Indefinite time and It only means
little less profit. But to the labor
ing man and his family cessation
of labor means want of the necess
tiles of life.
The strike is very dangerous
weapon and should only be used
under the direst stress of circum-
stances.

Bryan's Opinion Of Parker.
{ From Bryan's prepared statement a

(From Bryan's prepared statement a
Lincoln, Nebr,, July IL, I9o4.)
81 have nothing to take back
have nothing to withdraw of the
things that I have said against the
methods pursued TO advance his
(Parker's) candidacy. 1t was q
plain and deliberate attempt to de
ceive the party. The New York
platform was vague and meaning
less. and purposely so, because the
advocates of Judge Parker were
trying to secure votes from among
the people who would have opposed
mis- views had they known them
If he had sent to the Albany con.
vention the telegram that he sen
to the St. Louis convention he
would have had very few instructed
delegated from South, and no pos
sible chance for the nomination.
But he and his managers adroitly
and purposely concealed his posi-
ton until the delegates had been
corralled and the nomination as.
sured. Then his friends attempted
to secure gold plank, which was
overwhelmingly defeated in the
committee. After the party had
rejoiced over the harmony secuyed
by the omission of the question,
and after he had secured the nomi
nation, he injected his views upon
the subject at time when he could
not be taken from the ticket with
out great generalization. The
nomination was secured, therefore,
by crooked and indefensible me-
thods."
(From Bryan's speech at the St.
Louis Convention, after receipt of
Parker's dispatch.)
'I think it is manly thing for
man to express his opinion before
the convention adjourns. 1t would
have been manlier to have express
ed it before the convention met.
1t is manly thing to express his
opinion before the delegates act
finally upon his position. but it
would have been a manlier thing
had he expressed his opinion before
the voters throughout this country
went to their caucuses and their
primaries and sent instructed dele
gates here"

news FROM ALL
THE RAILROADS
Reduction in Operating Forces
Is Predicted.
EXPENSES ARE TOO HIGH
Items of Interest About Differ
ent Employees.

General railroad officials predict that
wholesale reductions in operating forces
will now be the policy of all railroads.
The carrying out CT this policy began
last year and it is said to be necessary
and unavoidable, owing to the increase
Of traffic and the increases of wages and
expenses of all kinds.
During the period of activity of trans
portation interests from 1s9S to 1903 there
was a steady increase in the number OF
railroad employees at the rate of 81 900 to
$4,000 a year. In 1898 the increase was
6.2 per cent, and in 1902 it was 11.G3 per
cent. In the same period the liabilities
of the railroads in the country were in
creased 81, 500 coo, 900 and the earnings rose
from 81, 249, PA actual to sl.76o 10000 es
timated, which is likely to be increased
by the full figures which have not yet
been officially compiled.
Among the railroads which have an
nounced a reduction of forces are the
Boston and Albany and other New En-
gland lines, the Vanderbilt roads, the
Pennsylvania Baltimore and Ohio and
other lines of the eastern system. The
reduction has been general in all parts
of the country, but is up to this time
more marked in the east. Railroad Off
cials look for a lean traffic period in the
near future, but there is a general belief
that in 1906 there vii be a revival of
trade.

Western railroads are making prepa-

st. Louis at the rate of l cent per mile.
A meeting of passenger officials will be
held today in Chicago to settle that ques-
ton. 1t is thought that the majority
of the roads favor a 1-cent rate, but sew
eral roads are opposing it. Eastern roads
are running excursions to St. Louis from
points beyond a radius of 800 miles on

ton is to run these excursions one or
