BOTH SIDES
NOW CLAIM VICTORY
IN MEAT STRIKE

CHICAGO, August 3. - Notwith-
standing the claim of the packing
house managers that they have no
difficulty in securing workmen they
are said to be making very strong ef-
forts to induce their former employees
to return to work The latest move
made in that line is the distribution
of cards among the wives of the strik-
ers urging them to induce their hus-
bands to return to the packing plants
and offering increased pay.
Schwarzschild and SulzebeTgeT notiti-
ed the county officials that they could
not make the usual weekly delivery of
meat according to contract, and the
superintendent of Public Service plac-
ed an order for 81, 600 worth of meat
with an independent firm.
The yards were flooded with live
stock today The supply so far ex-
ceeded the demand that prices in some
cases dropped as much as 81. Com
plants was rife by representatives of
country shippers.
Before the days shipment arrived
there were 30, 600 hogs i'll the pens and
between 1900 and 5000 cattle.
The packers expressed the opinion
that with supplies so heavy a good
portion of the stock could not be
handled by the packing plants until
tomorrow Todays receipts were as
follows: Cattle, $500; hogs 1900 f.;
sheep, $4,000.
The packers announced today that
they would attempt to import no more
unskilled labor. They said they had
all the raw men they needed and in
the future would take on only few
skilled men. This news was declared
by the strikers to be bait to them in
the hope of breaking the union ranks.

Nav Paw Dearly for His Fun,

Some person is laying up great
deal of trouble for himself by strew
ing matches at night over portions of
Mill street where the biggest crowds
of pedestrians pass. The matches us
ed are of the kind known as the par
lor match" which when trodden up
on ignite with a sharp report.
Those who tread upon the matches
unless blessed with stout nerves are
apt to receive something of shock,
while in the case of ladies there is
much danger of the clothing taking
fire.
Nearly half box of these matches,
the most of which had been trodden
upon, were found sprinkled over one
spot on Mill street the other morning.
1t is hoped the fellow who placed
them there enjoyed the little scenes
which followed, as his fun is likely
to be of short duration. The police
have taken measures to break up the
practice and the offender if caught
will pay very dearly.

LOST COINS IN THE MAIL.
They Cause Much Trouble and Worry
To Postal Clerks.

Ordinarily no man is rich enough
to escape that certain sense of elation
which comes from picking up a nickel
on Il sidewalk, but when a railway
postal clerk finds such a coin in q
mail pouch where 1t has worked out
from insufficient wrappings not only
does he miss this elation, but IL may
provoke profanity.
For a nickel lost in a pouch of mail
in transit becomes Il matter for ma
tional concern. 1t comes to view per-
haps just as a pouch of mail Is emp
tied upon a sorting table, and when
it has broken away from the bunch Of
letters and cards and circulars, roll
ed TO an open space on the table and
there settled down, heads or tails, with
a noisy spinning dance, the clerk who
first sees 1t is cit"
A nccromancer could have no more
idea than the man in the moon as 10
what particular package IT rolled out
of, and If he had and should tell the
postal clerk the clerk wouldn't dare
try to restore the coin to the original
package That would be too easy al
together
No, II Is a lost nickel from the mo-
ment the clerk has to see 1t spinning
there before his eyes, and according to
the tender governmental conscience the
clerk has to get ready for the inau-
guration of about S1S.43 worth Of fuss
over It.
For himself he doesn't dare to go 10
bed for a short nap until he has got
rid Of his cents worth OF resDonsi-
bility to the government for the 40
ton of the fool person from whom the
nickel was parted He digs up his
printed form for such occasions print
ed and provided and at once fills out
a long blank, describing the coin, tell
ing the circumstances of its being
found and whether 1t landed heads or
tails on the table, naming the pouch
from which 1t was emptied, the num-
Der of the train carrying II, the date
and a few other details
This report, with the nickel, goes to
the headquarters Of the postal division
IN which the car was operated, and
from these bonded officials, by the
same general red tape route, the small
coin finds its way to the seat of ma
tional government and to the fund rep

Men and Animals In Water.

The animal has no advantage In any
way in water over man, and yet the
man browns, while the animal swtms.
The dog, the horse, the COW and even
the cat all take to the water and are
able to walk as they do when out OF
water. Throw dog into the stream.
and at once he begins to walk just as
he does on dry land. Why should

1t seems strange that people have to
be told to do what the animals do In

rance of so simple n thing as treading
water is remarkable. 1t Is without rea-
son or excuse There is q popular no
ton afloat that I'm some way the dog
and other animals have an advantage
over man in water. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The advantage
lies with man, who is provided with
paddle formed hand and knows enough
to float when tired, something the ami
