Yesterday was St. Swithin's S
Day and Rain Then Would
Mean FOrtj Days.
CLOUDY IN AFTERNOON
Looked Very Much as If the Evil Cmen
Would Fall, but the Clouds Rolled Away
and Midnight Came With Clear Sky
Has Been Wet Season Thus
Far.

Yesterday was the day that the fol,
lowers of that good old patriarch,
St Swinton. looked anxiously at the
skies, and trembled at the least
gathering of the clouds. For if il
rained ON St. Swithin Day you may
est assured it would lain fer forty
days afterward or at least SO it is
written in the books.
Many years ago the common folks
Of England made practice of
placating this venerable saint by
max ing his day national holiday.
By getting him in good humor they
figured that they minimized the
chances of rain. Whether they sue
coed or not doesn't matter.
Even the unbelievers now breathe
easier that we got through with Lthis
July 10 without precipitation. They
may not take much stock in canonized
hoodoos, but this st. Swithin's bust
ness Is pretty old and well-estab-
lishod superstition and it makes even
The scoffer uneasy.
Toward O'Clock the clouds began
to gather and for time. the. pc ople
feared the rain would come down and
il it did they thought OF the trouble
of last year, when it rained on st.
Swithin's day and for many days
after, but later on sti ong, cold
breeze drove the heavy clouds away
and in the night the stars came out
and now the people are happy.

Local Butchers Say That has
Been the Increase Since the
Trouble Began.
NO SETTLEMENT YET.
Butchers Here Get Their Supply of Meat
from the Branch Packing Houses In
Elizabeth and that City Is now Being
Hard Hit Something must be done
Quickly.

The rise in meat prices since the
beginning of the agitation leading up
to the great strike of the Beef Trust
employees, there has been an average
rise on all lines of fresh meat in this
city, of five or six cents per pound
The greater part of the wholesale
supply coming from Elizabeth, this
city is badly affected. Today's quota
tions were iather late in arriving, so
that the rise since yesterday could
not be ascertained up to noon. II
the strike continues for any length of
time, however, it is probable that
the supply will be cut off entirely un-
less the farmers in this vicinity can
supply part of the demand.

CHICAGO, July 16.-The purport of
The meat packers reply to President
Donnelly's eayertures is identical with
the answer to TIE unisl proposals.
that is, that the packers. are willing to
arbitrate, but will do so only >on condi-
tlon that the arbitration committee
comprehend the whole scope Of the
strike and be not subject to any re-
strietioa-er-l -lfnaitufions. ------------
"This will be the biggest fight of its
kind in history. 1t will be battle of
all unions at the stockyards against the
packers. 1t will be fight to the fin
ish."
This was the declaration of Joseph
Morton, international president of the
Stationary Firemen's union, after 1t
became known that the packers In
conference had rejected the terms of
the strike leaders on the question of
arbitration.
That the strike will spread to other
labor unions Is practically certain. The
firemen at the yards, together with
oilers and others essential to the oper-
alton Of the big plants, will meet to-
night and vote to strike IL the situa-
tion remains as 1t Is.
The attempt of Arthur Meeker, gen
eral manager for Armour Il Co., to
show the office force and ''inside help"
how to slaughter steer produced not
a little excitement as well as some
good natured chatting of the general
manager at the Chicago stockyards.
The steer did not succumb until AS
sistant Superintendent Shaw had twist
ed the animals tail around post and
Mr.. Meeker had dealt the victim sec
Ond blow on the head with the heavy
sledge hammer.
A New York dispatch says that the
failure of the packers and representa-
an agreement has caused another up
ward tilt In the prices of meat and
poultry there. The wholesale price of
beef was advanced Il cent a pound;
pork went up cent; mutton rose to
1917 cents pound; fowls jumped to IL
cents; lamb to the same price; corned
beef was hitched bit higher; hams
and tongues went up . cents pound.
Many retail butchers experienced diff
ficulty in getting an adequate supply
of meats.
A nonunion workman at Chicago, as
sailed by crowd as he emerged from
the entrance to the yards, was beaten
kicked and stoned, but managed to
reach street car and escaped. The
crowd threw stones at the car and III
jured a striker who was aboard.
A Sioux City dispatch says that the
Cudahy Packing company has bought
500 hogs and is killing on small
scale. The strikers are still firm
