not be taken to mean that the pigeon
normally flies the distance between

forty miles per hour is the speed usual

Secretary Shaw has again proved
himself an acute observer of economic
tendencies and a clear critic of super
fetal talk on the subject At a mass
meeting in Chicago he paid his atten-
ton TO those political economists-we

can manufacturers are selling goods
cheaper abroad than they are selling

Mr.. Shaw has taken the trouble to

amounts to only 30 cents worth on
every 1890 of manufactures. Or. ms
lie puts it. every time S700 is paid to

The Chicago packers at noon Thurs
day seemed to have won an important
victory in the big stock yards strike.
the first emphatic gain mat has been
made by either side since the general
walkout was declared in effect. Eight
hundred live stock handlers threw
aside their allegiance to allied trades
and at the noon hour began TO handle
cattle indiscriminately, both for the
packers in the combine and for the in
dependent companies. Most of these
800 men went TO work yesterday morn
ing TO handle the goods of the indie
pendents," and they had worked on
this basis until u o'clock Thursday
This action on the part OF the han
dlers is regarded as most serious loss
to the cause of the strikers. and in
some quarters 1t is believed to be a
forerunner of a stampede and deser-
ton of the unions.
Following close on an announcement
that the packers did not care to make
further agreements with the union men
who quit work, operation of the plants
was continued with larger forces than
before, the employers formally an
nounced system of delivery which
would do away with the drivers who
haul meat from the yards. Hereafter
the packers will do no teaming, but
Will force the butchers TO come with
their own wagons to take away their
purchases.
Though the Dig stock yards strike is
now we'll under way and the time is
about at hand when the police expect
serious rioting to develop. turbulent
scenes failed to develop up TO Thurs
da. night, and the outbreaks of strik-
ers and sympathizers Were chiefly con
fined to hanging effigies In front of the
homes of persons in disfavor
The packers kept their plants run
ming persistently. and Thursday after
noon reported that satisfactory days
work had been accomplished. The re-
ceipts of stock were large enough to
keep the nonunion butchers and han
dlers busy, 1900 cattle, 1900 hogs and
12,000 sheep being received.
While the union leaders proceeded TO
perfect what they regard as adequate
arrangements to keep the strikers in
line, rumors We're continuous through
out the day that the ranks of the NAL
contents Were breaking Emphatic de-
mails were made by President Donnelly
and his corfreres. but close observers
