Chicago, July 29.-All railroads en-
tering Chicago have become involved
in the stockyards strike. A general or
der was issued yesterday by President
Curran of the freight handlers union
notifying the members of the union to
refuse to handle any freight whatever
fer the packing houses where the
strike is now on. If the freight hand
lers live up to the order it will work a
severe hardship on the packers, as the
notification states explicitly that no
freight delivered by or billed to the
packing companies, whether delivered
at the freight houses by teams or In
cars, is to be touched by the members
CT the union. What railroad officials
will do in such an emergency is not
known. A meeting Of railroad mana
gers was held last night to discuss the
situation, but what action taken, if
any was decided upon, was not made
public.

Iowa Peace offerings.

At the same time this step was
being taken by the freight handlers"
president. the first move in the effort
to bring about another conference be-
tween the packers and strikers was
being made Henry G.. Wallace, the
well known writer and lecturer on ag-
ricultural topics of Des Moines, Iowa,
and A. L. Ames of Buckingham, Iowa,
president of the Corn Belt Meat Pro
ducers association, are sponsors of the
new movement for peace. Wallace and
Ames came to Chicago yesterday and
Immediately went into conference with
the strike leaders. DOnnelly and his
associates were told by Wallace of the
hardship the strike was imposing on
livestock raisers, and were asked il
some concessions besides those offered
at the late conference between the
packers and strike leaders could not
be suggested in order to end the pres
ent strike.
Unionists Willing to Settle.
DOnnelly said he would welcome an
other conference and consented to the
effort being made He also informed
Wallace that the strikers were willing
now to cOncede the time limit in
which the men were to be reinstated.
AS at the last conference with the
packers DOnnelly insisted that the
men be reinstated within a specified
time. which he claimed the packers re-
fused to agree to do. Wallace said
last night that he and Ames would
call on the packers representatives to-
day and endeavOT to bring about the
desired conference.
Both Sides Claim Victory
Last night both sides to the dispute
at the stockyards were claiming vic
tory. According to the packers all
Chicago plants are running at nearly
regular capacity. On the other hand,
labor leaders declare the packing IN
dustTy of this city completely demon
allied and business almost at a stand
still. That the statements of the labor
leaders is not altogether true is evil
denced by the fact that the packers
are slaughtering thousands of animals
every "a hours.
There We're several assertions from
the ranks of the strikers but this loss
was Offset by an equal number Of
strike breakers quitting their new po-
sitiOns.

things?" Is the question that constantly
arises. for 1t is useless to ignore the need of
keeping pace with the world. Fine feathers

fashioned TO order, is the one that for the
moment seems most important. Further.
this gown must be set off by details OF
equal elaborateness, hat Of striking style,

Such a get-up. however. singular IS it

Sulphur as a Cure for Diphtheria.

Sulphur is one of the most efficacious and
simple cures for diphtherfa. All that is
needed is flour of sulphur and a quill,
and with these, it is said, one celebrated
physician cured every patient without ex-
ception. He put teaspoonful of flour
of sulphur into wineglass of water and
stirred 1t with his finger instead of a
spoon. the sulphur not readily amalgamat-
ing with water. When the sulphur was
well mixed the physician gave it as gar
GLE and in ten minutes the patient was
out of danger. Sulphur kills every species
of fungus in man, beast and plant In
few minutes. Instead of splitting out the
gargle the swallowing of it is recommended
In extreme cases in which the above spe-
cialist had been called in the nick of time
when the fungus was too nearly closing to
allow the gargling, he blew the sulphur
through a quill into the throat and after
the fungus had shrunk to allow of it then
gave the gargle.

From London Truth.
A lady who devotes whatever mind she
has to dress. and who is one of those who
pass as the leaders of fashion in Paris con-
hded to me recently that the best-dressed
women entirely decline to adopt the fashion
of big puff sleeves coming down to the
elbows and a sort of cape over the Shout
ders. because they do not consider it so
graceful as the close sleeve and light bod
ices. for 1t makes a woman look twice as
broad as she really is. and Is only fitted for
tall thin. and what are called by Ameri-
cans "slab-fronted girls" The fashion,
said my authority. has been started by a
