Friction at Omaha

OMAHA, Neb., July IA few cattle
were received at the Swift, Armour ard
other packing house plants during the
day. Mechanical operators to the num-
Der of 1900 Joined the strikers during
the day, making a total of 5000 out at
South Omaha. AT meeting of the
strike leaders it was decided to begin
at once system of picketing. a slight
alteration took place between strikers
and few non-union men on their way
to the packing houses to apply for ro-
sitions. One of the non-union men, Louis
Roden, was struck several times. a
wagon load of cots which was en- route
to one of the packing houses was turn
ed back by the strikers. 1t was stated
that unless the strike should be settled
in short time all the packers would
begin the employment of non-uaion
men and business would be resumed at
once. In fact, two of the largest es-
tablishments began hiring outside men
today.
The price of fresh meats OF all kinds
advanced 81 per 100 pounds. Edward
A. Cudahy expressed the opinion that
there would be a still further advance
unless the strike is settled. No meat
famine is expected in Omaha, how
ever.

ARBITRATION is
APPARENTLY IN SIGHT
Illinois State Board Is Bringing Both
Sides Together

CHICAGO, July Rehabilitation of
the grievances which precipitated the
general strike in the meat packing
houses in various parts of the country
is in sight. A conference between en-
ployes and packers will be held to-
morrow morning. The initial step
toward a settlement of the controversy
by mediation was taken this evening
by the state board of arbitration. When
the members of the board reached Chi
cago they went into conference with
Michael j. Donnelly, the leader of the
strike, and listened to his side of the
story. They then went to the packers
and heard their side.
AS result, Mr.. Donnelly sent
communication to the packers, in which
it was stated the unions were willing
to accept settlement through a board
of arbitration No reply is expected
from the employers before tomorrow,
but it is believed their reply will be
coneiliatery. The state board of ar
bitration said tonight that, as both
sides appeared to be willing to adopt
conciliatory methods, a peaceable So
luton would probably be reached
within a short time.

packing house proprietors that the
strike would not cause a stoppage of
operations. In the great abbatoir dis

they moved. All the packing houses

Trading was heavily curtailed. Some

On the other hand, the strike spread

on the time honored plea that a differ

BLAZE ON WEST SIDE
Frame Building Filled With
Hay Makes Roaring Fire

Fire supposed to have been started by
tramps last night destroyed a three-story
frame building at West Fairfield and HYDE
avenues, occupied by the Lotus Hubbard
Elevator company.
The building, which was a frame shell.
and stock OF baled hay with which 1t
was stored became roaring furnace
shortly after the fire was discovered, and
the blaze threatened the residence dis
trict of the fats before the eonfiagration
was brought under control.
Within half an hour after the depart-
mentz arrived the fire was checked. and a
warehouse next the one destroyed was
saved. Both buildings were rented by the
elevator company, though only one was
filed, the other having been emptied last
week. The empty building stood nearest
the corner, and the other was separated
from 1t by ten feet. A corrugated iron
sheeting covering the sides OF the build
ings confined the fire TO one structure
though the other was burned upou the
roof.
The fire blazed fiercely for half an hour.
and was not extinguished until after mid
night The building was then complete
ly gutted. The loss on the building which
was owned by Nd. j. O'Neill, is estimated
at $1,000, covered by insurance. The value
of the stock DESTROYED is estimated at
$1,000, partly insured.
The buildings have been frequented by
tramps, the police and neighbors having
often found men sleeping in them Tramps
and boys in the neighberhood frequently
broke open the doors and windows and
slept in the hay. Last Monday morning
George S-aLoftus, manager OF the elevator
company, found six men in the building
and last night Patrol1nan Ryder discover
ed short time before the fire broke out
that the doors had been forced open.
The buildings were erected sixteen years
ago by the ST. Paul Barrel COMPANY and
were vacated by that concern six years
ago. They were used as store houses by
M. j. O'Neill until last October when
the elevator company took possession of
them.

The state of Minnesota has been
defrauded Of many thousands OF dol

With the terms OF the homestead law
said State Auditor S. G. Iverson yes
terday on his return from a trip of per-
Sonal investigation to a school section
covered with valuable pine on the
north shore Of Lake Superior.
Accompanied by Charles w. Som

f. w. Walker, a cruiser of the state
land commissioners Office continued
Mr. 1verson, Il went fifteen miles inland
from Beaver bay to look over

100000 to 100000 of pine on the Sec
tions, and it is worth possibly $780,
600 to $4,000 to the state. 1t is one of
the most valuable school sections in
the state
The land was surveyed in 1900, but
filed with the local land office until
1903. The section is s6-57-S. and the
squatters filed in 1899, under the act
OF congress which permits them to file
homestead entries on unsurveyed lands
Tor actual homestead purposes. The
east and south lines to the section were
run over thirty years ago, and the
township lines We're run over forty

came convinced that it is impossible
Tor these men to make a living from
the lands. There is no way in which
a horse can be got on the land and I
doubt If COW can be driven through
the country.
Grass Grew in Cabin
Il found but two of the settlers
there. These two had made small i'm
provements. One of the missing men
had built small shack and cleared a
patch of ground In front of his cabin,
but there was grass six inches high on
the floor of his cabin, porcupines had
eaten part Of the pine table and the
grass IN front of his door was eighteen
inches high. Two other squatters had
made fairly good improvements, but
as the settlers have no means of get
ting their cropS-if they should raise
dny-to HldFhet, II looks as though the
compliance with the homestead law is
merely technical and the intent of the
law is being clearly evaded
The state has lost vast sums by
merely technical compliance with the
terms of the homestead law, and fail
to see how these men can be bona fide

Two sides of the section were surveyed
thirty years ago. l am not prepared
to say that 1 shall institute proceed

Mr. Iverson says that the people of
the north shore are vitality interested
IN the question Of roads, and they look
to the state to assist them in opening
the country to settlement by aiding in
the building of the roads, which are
needed to give the settlers opper-
tunity to market their products.

that in nearly all of the departments

that our demands are not unreason-
