CALLS ntN OUT.
President DOnnelly Greatly Extends
Packers Strike.

Chicago, Sept. 3.-Fearing to call off
the great packers strike on the eve of
Labor Day, because of its moral effect
the, strike leaders today took desper-
ate steps to bolster up the, cause that
has been generally admitted as lost.
IT is believed the calling out of the
livestock handlers, which is a direct
violation of the interstate commerce
laws. was done to force the govern
ment to interfere.
President Donnelly has frequently
said that the powers that be were quite
too apathetic to the strike on the verge
of a-national campaign, and before his
last card was played he would bring
matters to the attention of the federal
officials and force their hand. An
effort " i'll also be made to involve the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
and thus stop the handling of all stock
trains consigned to Chicago or any
other point affected by the strike.
The Independent packers, who all
along have been friendly to the strik-
ers, and who have supplied meat 10 the
commissa1y depots, were today placed
under the ban. President Donnelly
processes to have evidence that they
have been shipping meat for the pack
ers. Strikes have been called in all
these plants, involving about $4,000
men, throughout the country. This
action puts Chicago nearer an actual
meat famine than any yet taken.
!. Drastic orders have been issued by
the labor leaders not to permit anyone
to enter or come out of the stockyards.
The force of pickets was today in
creased to $4,000 men in the vicinity
of the yards alone, and they have been
directed to slug any one coming out or
going into the yards. President Don
nelly issued statement today in which
he said the strike must be won at all
hazards. To lose it would mean the
crumbling of trades unionism all over
the country, and every union laborer
in the United States will be urged to
contribute in every way to the cause.

LIKE MAD MEN
japanese Troops Hurled Back,
Rush on Again.
FRESH TROOPS ARE IN PLENTY
Extreme Flank of the Army at Lao
Yang Attacked With SUDDEN
ness That Nearly paraIyzed 1t.

st. Peter sburg, Sept. 2.-Some in
teresting details of yesterdays battle
are furnished by Russian correspon-
dents, from which it appears that two
regiments of Japanese at dayreak at
tempted to capture the batteries of the
Sixth artillery brigade, located on the
extreme flank of the Russian army.
The attempt was only discovered in the
nick of time. Some of the Russian
troops fought continuously for SO
hours. The cencussion and roar of the
guns shook windows at Lao Yang.
though the artillery was six to eight
miles away. Nemirovich Danchenko,
the famous Russian war correspondent,
descibing the battle, says:
"The enemy, drunk with their for-
mer successes, attacked from three
sides like madmen. When they were
hurled back, fresh troops, of which
they seemed to have an inexhoustible
surnly, were sent TO, ward"
M. DanchenKo says the combatants
hao about 600 guns on each side and
adds:
''It was our first victory. The ene-
my was beaten back everywhere, many
of his batteries were destroyed, and in
some cases his infantry was put to
rout." Il,
The utmost confidence continues to
prevail here that the issue of the fight
will be a complete victory for General
Kuropatkin. F1om dawn until dark
yesterday the battle ragged, first in the
center and left and then on the right
of the Russian line. The Japanese
charged gallantly and desperately in an
effort to break the center, and then in
the afternoon came NOV ement
against the opposite flank. This at
tack was delivered from the west, but
General Kuropatkin had evidently an
ticipated just what happened, for he
not only met and repulsed it, but &C
tually was able by superior force to
overlap and envelop the Japanese.
Last night both armies bivouae ked in
their positions.
No attempt was made by Lieutenant
General Sakharoff in his report to esti-
mate the Japanese losses, except to say
that they were extremely heavy, and
the Russian losses were only approx
mated at 5000. No Russian general
officers fell.

Hot Skirmish Fought in CornfieId.

Sakharoff reports that a large Japanese
force is advancing northward along the
Taitzu river valley, west of the rail-
road. The Russian cavalry. which pre-
vented the turning of the Russian
right flank Sunday, had to operate
amongst the fields of Chinese corn
which was above the heads of the rid
ers. A report from General Sakharoff
announces an engagement between a
Russian force and 120 Chinese bandits,
of whom about SO were killed.

JApANGAINING.
The russians are Withdraw
ing From Lao Yang.
BIG BATTLE IS NOT YET ENDED
Train Service Between Nukden and
the City Is Reported to Have
Been Interrupted.

Toxic, Sept 5.-The Japanese left
began pressing the Russians toward Tia
Tzcho at dawn this (Friday) morning
The Japanese right is engaged in the
neighborhood of Heiyingtail. The Jap
anese casualties since August 20 are
officially estimated at 10000.
Thursdays news from the seat OF
war closed with the receipt of two dis
patches giving information of a most
significant character bearing on the
domination Of Manchuria, at the close
of the present campaign. The frst
came from the Associated Press cores
pondent at st. Petersburg, filed there
at 1:16 P. M, and said General Ku-
roptakin had withdrawn his whole
army to the right bank of the Taitz
river SO as to meet General Kurokis
fanking movement. The inference
drawn from this dispatch was that
Lao Yang had been evacuated, that
city lying on the left bank of the river.
Nothing to confirm this was received
until several hours later, when a dis
patch from the Associated Press cor
respondent at St. Petersburg dated
September 2, and timed 1925 Friday
morning, said ''the news Of the evacu-
alton of Liao Yang and the withdrawal
of the Russian army to the right bank
OF the Taitz river had caused intense
excitement"
Late Thursday night the ST. Peters
burg correspondent of the Associated
Press obtained an opinion from the
oF hof hn Wi hid
right bank of the Taitz river became
necessary so that the Russians would
be able to repel a blow in that direction
and that General Kuropatkin's move
ment was the carrying out of a we'll
defined idea rather than retreat. The
same dispatch points out with notable
lack of comment that the Japanese
took advantage of General Kuropat-
kin's withdrawal to occupy the city of
Liao Yang.
The second dispatch, which may
have a significant bearing on the cam
paign, is that filed at Mukden at 9:27
p. NJ, Thursday, stating the train SER
vice between Mukden and Liao Yang
was interrupted, and 1t may mean the
cutting of the railroad communication
which may deprive General Kuropat-
kin of an opportunity to retreat to his
more northern base at Mukden. AS
pointed out in the st. Petersburg dis
patch, the Mukden correspondent does
not mention whether the telegraph
communications are open.
A dispatch from Toxic, filed there at
2 P. M, Thursday, said popular esti-
mates of the date of the fall of Port
Arthur inclined to the last week in
September.

Where swine are to be kept In. a
somewhat small enclosure and fed In
the house it is not always easy to keep
the floor of the house clean. The plan
here suggested will accomplish this
and give the hogs something to keep
them busy besides. The hoghouse is
built with a slanting floor and in the
end at the high partsis cut a trough
the entire width of the house, into
which is thrown leaf mold or broken
sod. This the swine will root down
and it will act as an absorbent of the
manure, particularly the liquid por-
tions. If the floor is made quite slant

ed down to the lower end by the hogs.

WILL FORCE FAMINE.
Striking Butchers Deem 1t fhe Most
Effective Weapon.

Chicago, Sept. IA meat famine
will be forced at all costs. 1t is the
best weapon with which to fight the
trust packers, although it may not be
welcomed by the Independents"
In these words, President Donnelly
of the butchers National organization
today declared a boycott against al
meat, and announced that union me1
will quit in all packing establishments
imm ediate1y, regardless of where live
stock is secured.
Donnelly's announcement was made
at the conclusion of meeting of the
Allied Trades Conference Board.
The executive board of the Retail
Meat Dealers Association of Chicago
had just been in conference wit Mr.
Donnelly and his associates, having
come to ask certain concessions for
the Independent packers and to seek
authority to attempt to bring about a
meeting between the packers and rep,
resentatives of the strikers.
By ignoring these latest attempts at
peace and by adopting such an ag-
gressive step, the strike leaders dem
onStrated their intention to make it a
fight to finish.
The following statement was given
out by President Donnelly:
The conference board, representing
all organizations involved in the pres
ent packing-house strike, has taken ac-
ton to place all meats on the unfair
list. This order goes into effect on
Saturday evening, September 3, at
$50. The order will be sent to every
packing-house in the country, and no
member of the meatcutters' and butch
ers' workmen will be allowed to dress
any animal until the strike is settled.
This action is the result of the re-
quest that the public refuse to eat
meat, and no person, no matter in
what capacity employed in handling
meat, must handle the same after $50
P. M. Saturday. The packers have re-
sorted to extortion as the results of the
strike, buying livestock on the hoof for
almost nothing and charging any price
for the dressed product. The public
will now be given an opportunity tC
retaliate by refusing to eat meat until
such time as they can procure the
same at fair market price,
Indications are that the five linden
dent packers within the stockyards
Enclosure will join the big packers in
their fight, while those outside will
endeavor TO continue operations with
union crews. Two of their number re-
ceived consignments of cattle at an
outside railroad yard today, and will
have them driven to the yards through
the streets. Within the yards indie
pendents are obviously preparing for
war, wagonload of cots having been
taken to one plant.
The union switchmen employed by
the Chicago Junction Railway in han
ding stockyards business will send a
committee to the packers today to urge
a plan of settlement, the details of
which are not yet known.
Secretary Mallow, of the switchmen,
declared there would be no strike, be-
cause the Chicago Junction Railroad
Company has force of strikebreakers
ready to step into their places.
The police record of the strike at
the stockyards station today reads:
Assaults, 46; murders, 4; accidents,
81; removed to hospital, 43.

Trains Collide in Quebec and Many
Persons Suffer.

Persons Suffer.
Montreal, Quebec, Sept. 2.-Nine
persons were killed and % others in
jured in head-on collision on the Grand
Trunk railway near Richmond, Quebec,
today. The trains involved were a
special excursion from Montreal bound
for Sherbrooke, and passenger train
No. 5, running between Island Pond,
VT, and Montreal. The collision, it is
alleged, was due to neglect of orders on
the part of the train crew of the excur-
sion train, which left Richmond with
out the arrival of the passenger train.
The excursion train, made up of ten
coaches and a baggage car carried
about 200 persons bound for the ex-
position at Sherbrooke. The Island
Pond train was composed of five coach
es and baggage car and had only a
small number of passengers. The ex-
cursion train had barely cleared the
Richmond yard when, rounding a
curve, it met the Island Pond train
running at high rate of speed. The
engineers reversed, and, with their
firemen, jumped and escaped with
minor injuries.
Both engines were locked firmly to-
gether. The baggage car of the ex-
cursion train was picked ur and
dropped on top of the car following It,,
a smoker. and it was in these two cars
that the greater nun Der of fatalities
occurred.
The accident is the worst that has
taken place in this province since the
Craig's road disaster in 1885.

conditions to be met before this indus

generally. AS a matter Of fact, the

Exhibiting Crops.


Any farmer who will religiously fol-
low his county fairs from year to year
will observe the opportunities there to
make reputation If he can grow one
particular crop better than another.
AS every one knows, one soil worker
is an expert potato grower, another
raises prize swine, another understands
corn better than other crops, and so
on.
Let each one take a specimen of
that which he can grow best to the
county fair and exhibit, advises the
indianapolis News. Possibly he may
not win a prize but he will have a
chance to see what others are doing
and thus ascertain his own shortcom-
ings. Again, his exhibit may attract
the attention of some one who wants
just the product he produces and a
profitable business is worked up.
The educational advantages of the
county fair ought not to be overlooked
and the family should be taken to
every one that can be reached at a
moderate cost. Get out into the world
and see what other farmers are doing;
one will find them willing to talk and
one may get enough good ideas at a
single fair to pay for the expense of
attendance twenty times over. Bear
this item in mind as the fairs begin
now and in September.
