BIG FIRM AGREES TO
UNIONIZE PLANTS
sehwarzschiId & suIzberser VIII Employ
Union Men Only

NEW YORK, July 22.-H. Eichelberger
and Joseph Masterson, who are in charge
of the New York branch of the butchers
union, were in conference late today with
members of the firm of Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger. and secured from them as
surances that from now on only union
men would be employed by them. NJ J.
Sulzberger. who is in charge of the West
ern houses of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger,
said tonight:
Although we are independent, we
thought it expedient to join the other
packers in the arrangement entered into
with the butchers union few days ago,
because the same demand for increased
wages and other conditions was made on
us as on the other packers

STEEP SAYS UNION Is

My estimate is that about six
ty-f1ve union men remained in
the Swift plant today when no.
titled that the second strike had
been ordered.
In all other respects the union
is better prepared for the strug-
gle than on the previous occa-
sion. The worth of the men from
a union standpoint is known, and
there will be no future difficulty
in assigning the different men to
duty.
\ Just as soon as we can reach
the union men who remained in
the plant they will be induced
to go out, as I firmly believe that
they are staying there tonight
under a misrepresentation of the
conditions that exist. If they
will come out the Swift plant will
be tied up more tightly than
was the case during the strike.
The weakness of the packers is
shown when they are compelled
to keep their employees in the
plant over night.
The Chicago strikers could not
have greater ground to complain
that. the compact was broken
than the st. Paul men. -

Business Agent Butchers Union.

INSANE MAN ABROAD
CLAD IN NIGHTGOWN

Abroad in his nightgown, Carl
Christopherson, an insane patient at
the Swedish hospital, escaped from his
room at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, and although his scarcity of cloth
ing would make him very noticeable,
neither the police nor his friends have
been able to find single trace of him.
Christopherson was taken to the
Swedish hospital July IL, suffering
from mild case of dementia. His i'm
provement was rapid and strict vigil
lance was somewhat relaxed. Yester-
day morning he darted out of his room,
and, as he passed the nurse in the Of
flee, cried that he was being mistreat-
ed. That was the last seen OF him.

WILLIS RLAMEs PACKERS

If the men in Chicago and at
other points were treated sim
liar to the men in South st. Paul,
i must say that the second walk
out was justified, and that the
attempted trick of the packers
will not result in any benefit to
them.
1t was apparent that there was
a general plan to ignore the
leaders, and 1 was not at all sur
prisd when notified shortly after
10 o'clock this morning that a
second strike had been called, for
the packers certainly did not
carry out their agreement as I
understood it.
If the packers are looking for
stiff contest they will certain
ly get it. The union is thorough
ly prepared for the emergency,
and by tomorrow night we will
be in better shape than at any
time during the strike. This is
conceded by the st. Paul Off
Gals of Swift & Co., who admit
that when the strike was called
off the non-union men were
made to realize that at best their
positions are but temporary.
The picket system will be re-
sumed in full force tomorrow,
but there will be no blockade.
George Willis,
President Butchers Union.

what tTansplred in the meeting was
given out as has been customary at for
mer conferences and the committee de-
clined to give further information except
that another meeting would, be held to-
morrow
Unless a settlement is reached tomor-
row the general belief is that a sympa-
thetic strike of the allied trades in the
packing industry which was threatened
last week to enforce the demands of the
strikers, will be called. All these unions
have signifed their willingness to stand
by the butchers if they are called on to
assist in the struggle with the packers for
supremacy.

GEN. FLOWER is HOPEFUL

OF course the Stock Yards
company is sorry that the trout
bic has occurred, bat we believe
that on this occasion order will
be maintained and that there
will be none of the blockading
that was common after the first
walkout. AS in the first case,
the company that represent is
taking no part in the trouble,
although it sincerely desires a
cessation of hostilities. All that
We desire is that order be main
tanned, and if that is done, it
will be but a short time until
business will reach its normal
standard.
The strike will undoubtedly
cripple the stock business while
its lasts and have an effect on
the market after it is settled.
but we believe that, even though
the strike continues, we will be
able to handle all the stock that
is sent in within a few days, and
that If shipments do not i'm
prove all receipts will be snapped
up tomorrow and every day
thereafter.

that all the strikers be reinstated
within ten days, instead of the forty

been meant, the strikers should abide

all the officials of the butchers union

ic governor could deccntly come to
his rescue. His name is now asso-
ciated with Missouri Democrats of
heroic deeds. Then again, when
it was disclosed that the ring had
gotten away with the states school
funds, in the interest of the Demo
cracy, it was the proper thing for
Democrats to rally to the relief of
the ringsters with an amendment
to the constitution legitimizing the
steal. In Sam Cooks case, like
wise, it is alleged that his diversion
from the straight path of rectitude
was not for his private gain, but
''for the good of the party" If
he held up the corporations for
contributions to Democratic cam
paign funds, it was a matter to be
applaudcd instead of visiting upon
HIM the displeasure of the people.
What if corporations did get even
by getting laws giving them mono
polistic privileges. Such bood-
ling ''has not cost the state any
thing" to quote Governor Dock
cry. 1t does not matter what it is
costing the people, they are ex-
pected to grin and bear it Gin the
interest of the Democracy" When
Cook sat by and saw his friend
Speed, the state coal oil inspector,
bribe Il state senator to prevent a
reduction Of the excessive fees Mr..
Speed was collecting, he was not
acting as party to crime, for was
not the coal oil inspector a ''liber-
al contributor to Democratic cam
paign funds. The Bourbon Demo.
crat of Missouri is not unmindful of
these services to the party, and Mr..
Cook and others of his ilk must be
rewared by further preferment.

gression from the path of righteous
duty, when committed in the name
