The great stock yards strike. expect
ed to paralyze the meat industry for
time at least, began Tuesday. Ow-
Ing TO the refusal of the packers. to
grant demahd for increased wages,
what promises to be one of the most
extensive strikes in the history of the
packing industry of the United States
was begun in Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha, st. Joseph, Mo-, and other
cities where large packing plants are
located. II prolonged, this strike is
expected to cause such widespread in.
convenience as was never before
equaled, except by the anthracite coal
famine of two years ago.
No one can foretell how long the
strike will last. Meat in Chicago took
a big jump in price at once With
in short time it will be impossible
for the city householder TO secure meat
at all, unless the packers succeed in
running their establishments with non
union labor. More than As 900 men and
their families are involved in the move
ment which has enforced this great
idleness. In Chicago alone $1,000 men
are on strike, and 10000 more work
ers, whose services as electricians,
steamfitters. firemen, engineers. car
workers, painters, clerks, bookkeepers
and teamsters will not be needed, will
be thrown out of employment
What Men Demand.
A uniform rate of wages, the mini
mum to equal the maximum now paid,
a stationary date for the expiration of
all agreements, fixed living wage
for unskilied workers, non-restrictfon
of union influence and no more than
ten hours days work, are some of
the essential requests of the union
which have been incorporated into a
platform upon which the general Off
Gals have accepted the strike power.
Anti-union, anti-increase and oppos-
ton to all demands is the platform
upon which packers representing an
aggregate wealth of $107, 100000 have
decided to fight. The packers, it is

By the arrest of a Marconi operator
and hospital steward of the Kaiser
Wilhelm H., charged with smuggling Su-
matra tobacco, the customs officials in
New York have unearthed a new method
of smuggling diamonds, silks, tobacco
and other merchandise which should pay
high duty. Its benehciaries, possibly its
promoters, are belie~ed to be merchants
in New York City, some of them of
wealth and prominence. Smuggling in
trunks carried as passengers baggage,
upon which labels indicating that they
had been properly examined and passed
by inspectors, were surreptitiously past
ed, is the method. Four arrests in all
have been made so far. The discovery
of the scheme came through trunk be-
ing sent to a wrong address. From there
it was sent back to the pier, where sus-
PIGEONS were aroused, and it was follow
ed. At the correct address John Kos
ter, to whom it belonged, directed il to
be sent to John Hoffman, cigar dealer.
Roster was arrested, and, it is said, con-
fessed. There was found in the trunk
sixty-6ve pounds of Sumatra leaf tobac
co, on which the duty is 81 a pound.
Roster and Hoffman were held each in
$1,000 bail for the grand jury.

Howard G. lynch was held to the fed

OF trying to extort $1,000 from A. H.
Revell by means of threats. Lynch went
to Mr.. Revell's Office with a letter, say
ing that two men had ordered him to de-
liver ii on threat OF death if he refused.
Mr.. Revell told Lynch he would better
mail the letter. This he did, and was
seen TO put it in the letter box. When
the letter was delivered to Mr.. Revell
this is what he read: Mr.. Revell-You
give this man $1,000 and not slow about
il. for we need the money and are going
to have it or we will do you or some of
your family up SO you will wish you had.
Do it up in a bunch so he will not know
what 1t is. We know where to find
MIN and viii get it from him. Give it
to him in bills Now, something will
happen if you don't do this, for we mean
business. We are watching all the time.
We must have this money by Wednesday
night sure. If you don't give 1t to him it
will double every day you put it off, so
be careful what you do and no fooling,
for we know all about you and your
family. Now you do as we say or you
will regret it," Lynch was arrested and
taken before Commissioner Foote by
postofice inspectors. They place no con-
fdence in the mans story that he was
acting for others.

The railroads notified their agents
throughout the country not to receive

other Stock Yards Strikes.
The last time the Chicago stock
yards plants were tied up was in 1894,
during the great railway strike. For
six weeks all the industries We're prac-
tically tied up, no cattle being received
and none slaughtered. A mob of from
5000 to 10000 men, women and chill
dren held possession of the streets in
the vicinity of the yards, and at last
President Cleveland interviewed and
sent regular troops to Chicago under
Gen. Nelson A. Miles. This put a
quietus on the rioters and prevented in
reference with the employment of
Don-union men, allowing business to be
resumed. The stock yards employees
had no grievance of their own, but
those that struck went out In sympa-
thy with the railway strikers.
In 1886. the year of the Haymarket
riots. another attempt was made to tie
up the yards, but without success.
More recently was the attempt of
union teamsters to tie up the meat in
dustries not long ago, when rioting
became general in the streets of Chica-
go. This strike was only settled after
wholesale arrests, scores of street
blockades. and when Chicago was

THE TRUSTS.

We recognize that the gigantic trusts
and combinations designed to enable capt.
tai to secure more than Its just share OF
the joint products of capital and labor and
which have been fostered and promoted un-
der Republican rule are a menace to bene-
fetal competition and an obstacle to per-
manent business prosperity.
A private monopoly is indefensible and
intolerable Individual equality Of oppor-
tunity and free competition are essential
TO healthy and permanent commercial
prosperity, and any trust, combination or
monopoly tending to destroy these by con-
Ting production, restricting competition
ling prices should be prohibited and
punished by law. We especially denounce
rebates and discrimination by transporta-
tion companies as the most potent agency
In promoting and strengthening these IN
lawful conspiracies against trade.
Any trust or unlawful combination en-
gagged in interstate commerce which is mo-
nopolizing any branch Of business or pro-

Der of the strikers are Italian women
The strike leaders explain the trouble
BY saying that it is not a strike for
higher wages, but a strike TO prevent q
cat in wages, which they fear may come
aiorg if the open-shop system becomes a
reality.
The Fight is being waged over the open
shop question. When the. manufactur-
ers posted notices that in future they
would permit non-union men TO work
side by side with union men the strike
was ordered. From that time on the
strikers waged war on the manufactur-
ers and contractors who favored open
shons. The contractor is the middle
man. Many Of them are now siding
with the strikers whom they bitterly op-
posed shortly after the strike was de-
clared. The manufacturers, however.

that they are getting a4l OF the help
which they need at this time of the year,

at Roach's Shipyard.
The steamship San Jacinto of the NAL
Tory line was damaged to the extent of
$4,000 by fire while lying at Roach's
shipyard, Chester, Pa, where she was
laid up for repairs. The vessel was
built by the Roach Shipbuilding Com
pany at a cost of over 100000 and was
launched about a year ago. When COM
pleted the steamer was placed on the line
between New York and Galveston. She
was brought TO Chester on June 8 for
repairs and would have been ready to
take her regular run within a week. The
fire originated in room used for storing
oil and varnish and had gained such
Roadway before the arrival of the fire
engines that the fremen divided their at
tention between the big vessel and the
property Of the shipbuilding company ad-
jacent to the dock Finally the 6remen
were able to confne the flames to the
after part of the vessel between decks.
The electrical plant was badly damaged.
A score of iremen were overcome from
the heat and smoke.
