ings and harmonic the interests OF Rus
STA and the other powers in that prov
ince," is emphasized in Russ.
This paper says it learns authorita-
lively that the announcement that Rus
STA has recognized the inviolability OF
the rights acquired by foreign powers
in Manchuria under existing treaties has
no connection with the ratification OF
the, commercial treaty between the Unit
ed States and China or the Japanese
Chinese treaty. The Russ also denies
that Russia has given her assent to the
ratification OF these treaties, because,
as China is not a vassal to the state, she
has perfect liberty to conclude any
treaty."
Nevertheless" adds the Russ, for
eign powers must take into account the
Russian occupation OF Manchuria,
which, although it does not eliminate
the authority OF the Chinese govern
ment. places certain restrictions on the
exercise of that authority which can
not escape the notice OF foreign repre-
sentatives who wish to enter into rela-
tons with the Chinese administration

INQUIRY INTO CHICAGO STRIKE.
Inspector Carroll, Of Department Of Commerce
and Labor, on Scene.

Chicago. (SpeciaD.- Inspector Car
roll, the special representative of the
United States Department of Com
merce and Labor, who obtained the
evidence for the government on which
an Injunction was issued two years
ago by Judge Peter S. Grosscup, of
the federal district court, enjoining
the larger packing companies from
combining in making the prices either
as buyers of live stock or sellers of
meat, was in the stockyards here in
vestigating conditions. The inspec-
tors presence is by direction of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
actuated, it is stated, by direct orders
from President Roosevelt, who is
anxious to obtain exact information.
Difficulty was experienced by the
packers employment agents in bring
ing strikebreakers into the stockyards.
In one case I2 Greeks who have come
from Milwaukee failed to reach their
destination They were captured
while enroute through Chicago by a
crowd of strike pickets. The Greeks
were taken to union headquarters and
dissuaded from working. The pack
ers had better success with special
train bearing las men and women
strikebreakers, chiefly negroes and
Italians These were switched direct
ly into the stockyards and unloaded
at the doors of the various packing
houses. A short time previous 100
strikebreakers quit or were discharged
for incompetency.
The packers appealed for police pro-
lection for their distributing plants at
Sixteenth and State streets and George
street and Lincoln avenue. The
branch houses of the packers were
surrounded by union pickets, who
turned back all the retail butchers with
wagons after supplies of meat. Police
were dispatched to prevent further
interference with the retailers.
The first eviction resulting from the
stockyards strike was made. A crowd
of strike sympathizers stoned two
constables who put Mrs. Mary An
derson out of her home, in Forty
fourth street, for nonpayment of rent.
Mrs. Anderson's husband. striker,
had left Chicago in search of work
The wife was i'll in bed when she and
her household goods were carried out
by constables. Mrs. Anderson was
cared for by neighbors. A patrol
wagon of police stopped the tone
throwers.
Before the arrival of the police,
however, the crowd had wrecked the
cottage from which the woman had
been evicted. Nothing was left for
any other tenant except bare walls.
Windows, doors, shelves, plumbing,
etc., were smashed beyond all repair.

MINERS ADJUST GRIEVANCES.
Executive Committee Preparing Plan for
Locals Consideration.

Scranton, Pa.,, (SpeciaD.-The ex-
ecutive board of the United Mine
Workers, District No. I, held a ten
hour session here.
District President Nichols declined
to make any statement as to the bus
ness transacted, explaining that an Of
fetal statement will be made later.
1t seems assured that there will be
no strike. Neither the mine workers
nor operators desire one al present and
it seems rather question for the mine
workers to devise some modus oper-
andi whereby the differences can be
overcome They will probably refer
the disputes to the various locals with
a request to vote on a proposition
which is now under consideration.
President w. L. Connell of the con-
citation board has not received re-
quest to call meeting of that body,
President Dettrey of the Hazelton
district mine workers not yet having
acted upon the instructions received
from the employees of Coke Bros &
Co. Mr.. Dettrey was in Scranton,
but took no part in the meeting. He
will await the result of the executive
board meeting before making the re-
quest to Mr.. Connell.
